How long is the recovery after breast reduction?

Most patients return to light work in 1–2 weeks. Exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks.

Will I have scars after breast reduction?

Yes, but they are carefully placed and fade over time. Dr. Bravo uses refined closure techniques and provides scar care guidance to minimize their appearance.

Can I breastfeed after the surgery?

In many cases, yes. However, this depends on the extent of the reduction and your anatomy.

Will my breasts still look natural after surgery?

Absolutely. The goal is not only to reduce volume but also to shape the breasts into a lifted, youthful, and proportionate form that fits your body beautifully.

Is breast reduction only for medical reasons?

Not at all. While many patients seek relief from physical symptoms, others also want aesthetic improvement. Dr. Bravo addresses both aspects in each case.

How much smaller will I be?

That depends on your goals. Some women want just enough reduction to relieve discomfort, while others want a more dramatic size change. You’ll decide this together during your consultation.

Is the result permanent?

Yes, the results are long-lasting. However, weight changes, pregnancy, or aging can still affect the size and shape over time.

What Is Breast Reduction?

It is performed to alleviate physical symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder grooves, back strain, and skin irritation, while also improving breast shape and proportion.
