What is a Breast Reduction in the Dominican Republic?

In addition to the aesthetic benefits, this surgery significantly improves the patient’s quality of life. Many women experience better posture, increased ease in performing physical activities, and a notable boost in well-being and self-esteem by achieving a lighter and more harmonious bust.

What should I know and expect from a Breast Reduction in the Dominican Republic?
Before the procedure
To ensure the best results, the surgeon will recommend discontinuing for 2 weeks prior to the procedure the use of medications that increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, vitamin E, and ginseng. In addition, tobacco, alcohol, and ginger tea should be avoided. It is also important to inform the specialist if you are taking any other medications or if you have experienced any health issues, such as fever or diarrhea, in the days leading up to the procedure.
During the procedure
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or spinal block, depending on each case. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, while the areola and nipple are repositioned to achieve a more natural placement. Scars may vary depending on the technique used, with periareolar, vertical, or anchor-shaped incisions being common, always aiming for an aesthetic and proportionate result.
After the procedure
The patient usually leaves the hospital 12 to 24 hours after surgery. The use of a post-surgical bra is recommended for approximately 6 weeks, along with the administration of antibiotics and pain relievers for a few days. During recovery, physical exertion, lifting, and driving should be avoided in the first weeks, strictly following medical instructions to ensure proper healing and satisfactory results.
