Reduction Mammoplasty At Carlos Camacho Clinic Bogota
Despite what you may think, bigger is not always better. Overgrown mammary tissue can lead to physical discomfort and psychological distress among women. Those who wish to correct this excessive breast tissue can seek a surgical intervention through reduction mammoplasty.
Mammoplasty in Colombia helps remove the excess glandular tissue from the breasts and corrects sagging breasts by tightening the skin around them. Your procedure may include liposuction to eliminate excess fat or a breast lift to provide a youthful, perkier chest contour. Breast reduction should not be viewed only as a cosmetic procedure; it can offer several functional benefits that improve your quality of life.
- It helps relieve shoulder pain, back pain, and neck pain
- It prevents skin irritation or rashes from breast creases and folds
- Breast reduction surgery prevents indents from bra straps digging into your skin
- It helps alleviate difficulty in performing sports and exercises
- It reduces the risk of infection around the breast folds
- Breast reduction surgery allows you to fit into clothing more easily
- It promotes healthier self-esteem and confidence
Breast reduction in Colombia should only be handled by a certified professional such as Dr. Carlos Camacho, who understands the intricacies of body anatomy. The procedure is invasive but is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you will be able to go home the same day. It is performed after the administration of general anesthesia and may take up to 5 hours to fully complete. To learn more about your procedure, we invite you to come in for a consultation session.
How Is A Reduction Mammoplasty Performed?
The first step to breast reduction in Colombia is your consultation with Dr. Carlos and his team. The consultation will take the measurements of your breast, assess the placement of the nipple-areola complex, and help assess any risk factors that may impede a healthy procedure. You will further be requested to undergo a breast ultrasound or mammogram to ensure there are no underlying health concerns. The presence of swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) or breast cancerous tissues are conditions where the procedure may not be recommended. This is why a careful initial consultation is vital.
If you are deemed a good fit for the breast reduction Colombia procedure, your doctor will then provide you with a personalized treatment plan based on your needs. Despite being a complicated procedure, Dr. Carlos’s extensive experience positions him as the best choice for your procedure.
During the reduction mammoplasty Bogota procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions around the areola, from the areola down to the breast crease and across the lower crease. From here, extra fat, skin, and tissue will be removed. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned until the breast size and shape are symmetrical and proportional. After stitches are applied, bilateral drains will be used to prevent blood clotting following your procedure, and an overnight stay may be requested.
Note that this procedure is only recommended for women who have reached the age of 16 or who have fully developed breasts.

Postoperative Care After Reduction Mammoplasty
To get the most out of your procedure, you must adhere to recovery guidelines provided to you by our professionals. Following the procedure, you may feel slight discomfort and pain, which can be managed by taking prescribed pain medications. You will be given a compression garment to wear during reduction mammoplasty recovery time, which will support the repositioned structures as they heal.
Bilateral drains are sometimes applied to remove excess fluid and prevent blood clotting. These are removed after 72 hours. You can return to regular activity about a week or two after your procedure. This is the same time when your sutures are to be removed. To prevent scarring from your reduction mammoplasty in Colombia, you will be provided a silicone gel to use over your scars. It hydrates the scar tissue and promotes imperceptible scar healing. You can resume physical exercise three weeks after your procedure.
