Recovery Timeline
Your recovery happens in stages, with many patients reporting experiencing relief from physical symptoms in early recovery:
First Week
You’ll stay 1-2 nights in the clinic before returning to your hotel. Expect soreness and swelling – normal parts of healing. Pain medication is available and you’ll wear a surgical support bra. Many women already notice their shoulders feeling lighter!
Weeks 2-3
Most patients return to desk work. Swelling decreases significantly and you’ll transition to a sports bra. Physical discomfort from large breasts is already greatly reduced. Light activities resume but avoid heavy lifting.
Months 1-3
Return to normal activities including exercise. Scars begin fading and final breast shape emerges. Shopping for new clothes becomes exciting as you enjoy better-fitting options. Most women report dramatic improvement in quality of life.
Long-term Results
By 6 months, you’re enjoying full results – proportionate breasts that feel comfortable. Many patients report relief from chronic pain following surgery. Individual results vary. Activities once uncomfortable are enjoyable again. Scars continue fading and most women say they wish they’d done it sooner.

Yes, our partner clinics are JCI-accredited or equivalent, with board-certified plastic surgeons trained in the latest techniques. Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama have excellent safety records for medical tourism.
Most patients return to desk work in 1-2 weeks and normal activities in 2-3 weeks. Full healing takes 6-8 weeks, though many patients report experiencing relief from physical symptoms in early recovery.
Results are typically long-lasting because removed tissue does not regenerate. However, significant weight gain, pregnancy, or hormonal changes can affect breast size. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results.
Like any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, and scarring. Specific to breast reduction: changes in nipple sensation, difficulty breastfeeding, and asymmetry. Risks are managed through established surgical techniques at partner clinics.
The amount varies by individual needs. Surgeons can remove anywhere from a few hundred grams to several pounds per breast. During consultation, the surgeon will discuss your goals and reduction options based on your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
Light walking begins immediately to prevent blood clots. Most patients resume gentle activities at 2-3 weeks. Full exercise, including upper body workouts, typically resumes at 6-8 weeks with surgeon approval.
Scarring varies by technique: anchor pattern has more scarring but allows maximum reduction; lollipop has less scarring. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months. Surgeons use advanced closure techniques to minimize scarring.
