What does breast reduction involve?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to achieve smaller, firmer breasts that are more proportionate to the rest of the body.
At Dr Francisco Giraldo’s clinic, this procedure is performed using advanced techniques that respect the natural shape of the breast and always seek a balanced and harmonious result. In addition to improving the aesthetic appearance, this breast reduction surgery alleviates physical discomfort such as back and neck pain, skin irritation and difficulty exercising.
The goal is not only to reduce size, but also to reposition the breast and areola to restore a youthful shape without compromising sensitivity or functional capacity.

Stages of breast reduction
1.
Initial consultation with diagnosis
It all starts with a thorough medical assessment. Dr. Giraldo will listen to your reasons, examine your anatomy, and assess your overall health. During this visit, all your questions will be answered, and you will receive a surgical plan that is 100% tailored to you.
2.
Preoperative
Preliminary medical tests will be carried out (blood tests, electrocardiogram, mammogram if necessary) and you will receive clear instructions on diet, medication and habits to avoid before the surgery.

Breast reduction surgery
On the day of the procedure, you will be accompanied by an expert team. Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, using techniques that always seek to minimise scarring and preserve sensitivity. The goal: a more harmonious and lighter shape, without compromising breast health.

Care and post-operative period
After a few hours of observation, you will be able to return home with precise instructions on how to care for the treated area. In the following days, regular check-ups will be carried out with Dr Giraldo to ensure optimal progress.

Results and long-term follow-up
Results begin to be noticeable within the first few weeks, although the final shape takes a few months to consolidate. Most importantly, you will feel a real change in your daily life, in your physical comfort and emotional security. Long-term follow-up guarantees your peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about breast reduction
Will there be visible scars after the operation?
Yes, as with any surgery, there will be scars, but Dr. Giraldo uses techniques that place them in discreet areas and minimise them as much as possible. Over time and with proper care, they usually become barely noticeable.
Is breast sensitivity lost after reduction surgery?
In some cases, there may be a temporary change in sensitivity, especially in the areola area. However, most patients gradually regain sensitivity in the months following the procedure.
Will I be able to breastfeed after a breast reduction?
It depends on the technique used and each individual case. Dr. Giraldo always prioritises preserving the structures necessary for breastfeeding when the patient wishes to do so, although this cannot be guaranteed 100%.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients resume their daily lives between 7 and 10 days after surgery, avoiding strenuous activity. Physical exercise and intense activity can be resumed after 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how the patient recovers.
When will I see the final result?
Although the change is visible from the outset, the final result can be seen after three or four months, when the swelling has gone down and the tissues have settled.
Is breast reduction covered by the National Health Service?
In cases where excess breast tissue causes documented health problems (such as chronic pain), the National Health Service may cover the cost of the procedure. However, at Clínica Giraldo we perform breast reduction surgery in a private setting, with superior guarantees in terms of personalisation, follow-up and surgical technique.
