Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size proportional to your body. Beyond aesthetic improvement, this procedure frequently provides significant relief from physical symptoms including chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty exercising.
Dr. Mora uses techniques that maintain nipple sensation and breastfeeding ability whenever possible while creating lifted, youthful breast contours. He removes enough tissue to provide symptom relief while ensuring results look natural and proportional to your frame.

Breast reduction provides both aesthetic improvement and life-changing relief from physical symptoms.
Most patients experience significant reduction in chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Many can exercise comfortably for the first time in years.
Breasts are reshaped to complement your frame, creating a more balanced silhouette and making clothes fit better.
Reduction includes a lift, repositioning nipples to a more youthful location and creating perkier, firmer breasts.
• Physical symptoms from breast weight (back/neck pain, skin irritation, grooves from bra straps) • Difficulty exercising due to breast size • Self-consciousness about breast size • Stable weight • Done having children (can affect breastfeeding) • Non-smoker
• Planning pregnancy soon (hormones affect breast size) • Currently breastfeeding • Active smokers (impaired healing) • Unrealistic expectations about scarring
Moderate discomfort controlled with medication. Drains may be placed. Surgical bra worn 24/7.
Drains removed if placed. Discomfort decreases. Light walking encouraged.
Most can return to desk work. Swelling decreases. Many patients already notice pain relief.
Resume most activities. Light exercise permitted. Supportive bra still important.
Final shape emerges as swelling fully resolves. Scars continue to fade.
Dr. Mora takes time during consultation to understand not just your size goals but your functional concerns. He uses techniques that prioritize nipple sensation preservation and breastfeeding potential (when important to the patient) while achieving significant reduction. For very large reductions, he may recommend a staged approach for better healing rather than attempting too much in one surgery.
The amount varies based on your anatomy and goals. Reductions of 500-1000+ grams per breast are common. Dr. Mora will recommend what's appropriate during consultation.
Yes, typically in an 'anchor' or 'lollipop' pattern. While permanent, scars fade significantly over 12-18 months and are easily concealed by bras and swimwear.
Many women can, but some experience reduced milk production. Techniques that preserve the nipple-areola blood supply (which Dr. Mora uses) maximize breastfeeding potential.
Some insurance plans cover reduction for documented medical necessity. Dr. Mora can provide documentation of tissue removed, but international patients typically pay out of pocket.
