Indicaciones

La reducción de mamas por lo general se realiza en mamas grandes (macromastia), pero también puede indicarse en caso de:

Infecciones quísticas de la mama (mastitis poliquística)

Dolor de espalda, cuello, hombros, senos o cabeza

Pérdida de la sensibilidad en la mama, los brazos o dedos

Problemas al dormir o postura defectuosa como resultado del gran tamaño de las mamas

Surco pigmentado por el brassiere

Estrías (líneas similares a una cicatriz) en las mamas

Se requieren mamogramas (radiografías de mama) y exámenes de rutina de mama antes de la cirugía.
