Breast reduction mammaplasty in Madrid
Large, heavy breasts may contribute to back, neck, and shoulder discomfort, skin irritation, and difficulties with exercise or daily activities. Reduction mammoplasty reduces volume and reshapes the breast, with the aim of improving comfort and proportions. Benefits vary and symptoms should be assessed individually.
At Dr. Jorge Aso's clinic in Madrid, Spain, the team plans each reduction around your anatomy, health, symptoms, and expectations. The consultation covers realistic benefits, scars, limitations, and risks.
The clinic reports performing more than 200 breast reductions annually. Dr. Aso and the surgical team also have experience in reconstructive breast surgery, informing a medical as well as aesthetic assessment.
Main reasons why many women opt for breast reduction
Below, we detail the most common issues for which many patients decide to consider breast reduction surgery.
What is our breast reduction technique like?
Breast reduction surgery in Madrid is performed under general anesthesia in an operating room with all safety measures in place. The technique used by Dr. Jorge Aso is usually based on a T-type or mini-T incision, with the goal of reducing volume, improving shape, and achieving increasingly less visible scars.
What is breast reduction?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and weight. It aims to improve proportions and may relieve symptoms associated with large breasts.
At Dr. Aso's clinic, an individual assessment determines the appropriate amount of tissue removal and reshaping. Planning considers your anatomy, asymmetry, symptoms, and aesthetic goals. Perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.
Large breasts may contribute to back, neck, and shoulder discomfort. Reduction can help some patients, but the cause of pain and the likely benefits must be assessed individually.
From consultation to follow-up, the team explains the proposed procedure, limitations, risks, and aftercare so you can make an informed decision.
What is the first consultation for breast reduction in Madrid like?
The first consultation for a breast reduction is a very important step to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and satisfactorily. At Dr. Jorge Aso’s Clinic, we offer an initial consultation where we evaluate each patient's needs in detail.
Drains and dressings tailored to your procedure
Drains only when needed
Drains are not routinely used in many of our reductions. The surgeon may still recommend them when the findings or extent of surgery make them appropriate.
Postoperative support
Most patients wear a postoperative bra and small dressings rather than compression bandages. Your individual aftercare instructions will explain what is needed. Follow your care plan and report any unexpected symptoms.
How do we decide which is the best option?
In the consultation, we analyze your anatomy, the volume you want to reduce, the shape you wish to achieve, and the pros and cons of each alternative. We can also perform 3D simulations to compare the result with and without implants to help you make an informed decision.

Breast reduction in Madrid
Indicated for women with large breasts, especially after the passage of time, who wish to reduce their size and weight, improve shape and symmetry, and solve medical problems associated with excessively large breasts. Discuss your goals, potential benefits, and the limitations of surgery.
What is the breast reduction postoperative period like?
The postoperative period of a breast reduction is a key process to ensure proper recovery and satisfactory results. After surgery, it is common to notice discomfort or a feeling of tightness during the first few days, but these are usually well-controlled with prescribed medication and specific instructions from the medical team.
During the first few weeks, it will be necessary to wear a special postoperative bra, designed to keep the breast in the correct position and promote optimal healing. In most cases, patients can progressively resume their daily lives and return to work between 7 and 14 days, depending on the type of activity and individual progress.
At Dr. Jorge Aso’s Clinic, we perform close and personalized postoperative follow-up. The first check-up usually takes place a few days after the procedure, and subsequently, the progress of healing, inflammation, and tissue adaptation is monitored to ensure everything is evolving correctly.
Although functional and aesthetic improvement is usually noticed soon, the result continues to settle over the following weeks. Therefore, during the first month, it is advisable to avoid intense efforts, lifting weights, or practicing impact exercise, always following the guidelines indicated by the surgeon.
Breast reduction and the price of the procedure
The price of a breast reduction depends on the complexity of the case, the amount of tissue to be removed, the type of technique, the need for implants or lipofilling, and the specific characteristics of each patient.
This range is indicative and corresponds to July 2026. The final quote is confirmed after assessing your anatomy, goals, type of reduction, and whether it is advisable to include implants, lipofilling, or other complementary procedures.
What is usually included
- Consultation and surgical planning.
- Surgery, operating room, and anesthesia.
- Hospital admission when indicated.
- Postoperative follow-up.
Safety included
We do not value the price in isolation, but rather the safety of the process: hospital, anesthesia, coordinated team, and close postoperative control.
What may vary
- Degree of mammary hypertrophy.
- Complexity of the lift.
- Use of implants or lipofilling.
- Individual medical needs.
Fixed quote
After the assessment, we provide you with a clear and personalized quote, adapted to your case and the most appropriate technique.
Important: a breast reduction should not be chosen based on price alone. Planning, safety, the hospital, the team's experience, and subsequent follow-up directly influence the quality of the result and your peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about breast reduction in Madrid
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about our breast reduction procedure:
What is breast reduction?
Breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and weight and reshape the breast. It may improve comfort and proportions; the likely benefit depends on your symptoms and anatomy.
What are the main risks of breast reduction?
Possible complications include bleeding, infection, wound-healing problems, asymmetry, prominent scars, changes in sensation, loss of breastfeeding ability, and damage to the blood supply of skin or nipple tissue. Surgery and anesthesia also carry general risks, including blood clots. Your surgeon will explain the risks relevant to you. Read the NHS overview of breast reduction.
How is breast reduction surgery performed?
The technique typically uses incisions around the areola, vertically, and sometimes along the breast fold. Tissue is removed and reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned. The exact plan, including any use of an implant or fat grafting, is discussed individually.
How much does a breast reduction cost in Madrid?
The clinic's July 2026 indicative range is €6,500–€8,500. The final quote depends on complexity, technique, and any implants or fat grafting. Ask for an itemized written quote specifying what is included. Travel, accommodation, and optional premium support are separate unless stated otherwise.
Can breast prostheses or implants be used in a reduction?
An implant is not routinely necessary for breast reduction. In selected cases, a small implant may help with upper-breast fullness, but it adds implant-related risks and long-term follow-up. The benefits and drawbacks should be compared with reduction alone.
What about fat from one's own body?
Fat grafting may add modest fullness using your own fat if suitable donor areas are available. Some transferred fat may be reabsorbed, and the risks and limits of this additional procedure should be discussed.
What can I expect during the postoperative period?
Expect swelling and discomfort in early recovery and follow the prescribed care plan, including bra use and activity restrictions. Return to work and normal activities depends on healing and physical demands. Patients traveling from abroad need an individual plan for their stay, follow-up, and return journey.
Will there be visible scars?
Yes. Breast reduction leaves permanent scars, typically around the areola, vertically, and sometimes along the breast fold. Suturing and scar care aim to improve their appearance, but no laser or technique can guarantee an invisible scar.
When can I exercise or lift weights after surgery?
Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting until the surgical team advises that healing is sufficient. The timing depends on the extent of surgery, wound healing, and the activity; a general website timeline is not individual clearance.
Is it possible to perform breast reduction surgery if I have a very large breast size?
Very large breasts can be assessed for reduction. The amount that can be safely removed, nipple position, tissue blood supply, possible scars, and individual risks must be discussed during examination.
Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Breast reduction can reduce or permanently prevent breastfeeding. The effect depends partly on the technique and the amount of tissue and duct disruption. Discuss future pregnancy and breastfeeding plans before deciding on surgery.
Can I lose sensitivity after a breast reduction?
Temporary or permanent changes in breast and nipple sensation can occur. The risk varies with the extent and technique of reduction and must be considered before surgery.
