Breast reduction surgery in Tijuana is an operation to remove extra fat, tissue, and skin from your breasts. If you have large breasts that are out of proportion with the rest of your body and causing neck pain, back pain, or other symptoms, you may be considering breast reduction surgery in Tijuana.

With the help of Dr. Daniel Camacho Melo, most women who get breast reduction are very satisfied with the results. Men with conditions such as gynecomastia (in which male breasts are abnormally enlarged) may also have it.

Because it’s major surgery, you should know the benefits, potential complications, and what’s involved in recovery.

Breast Reduction Surgery Consultation

Before the surgery, you’ll meet with your surgeon to talk about your medical history, including whether you’ve had a lump removed from your breast or have any other medical conditions that affect your breasts. Your surgeon will also ask about your family’s medical history.
Be completely open with the surgeon about your medical history and why you want a breast reduction. Be prepared to discuss any emotional issues you’ve dealt with regarding your breasts, how your breasts have physically felt to you, and any physical conditions you’ve had.

The surgeon may take photos of your breasts, measure them, and talk with you about how much breast tissue will need to be removed to achieve your goal. You will also learn about preparing for the surgery and planning for your recovery. You may get a mammogram and breast exam before the surgery.

During your consultation, your surgeon will ask about your habits, including whether you smoke and what medications you take. You may have to quit smoking for a period before and after surgery to ensure proper healing. You also may have to stop taking certain medications, including aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin or Aleve. Your surgeon will give you instructions about what you need to do.

How to Prepare for Breast Reduction Surgery

You need to be in good physical shape to be sure you heal the way you should, so follow your surgeon’s instructions before and after breast reduction surgery.
Before the surgery, get your home ready for recovery. Have these things on hand:

• Plenty of ice
• Gauze and clean washcloths and towels
• Loose, comfortable shirts
• Special ointments or creams as recommended by your surgeon for the incision sites

You should also plan for someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least the first night after the procedure, if you’re not staying in the hospital.
