Breast procedures we offer
A personalized approach to every need – Breast Surgery at Clínica EGOS
Breast or mammary surgery is a procedure aimed at altering the appearance of the breasts in both women and men, and it is performed for various purposes.
EGOS Treatments for Breast Surgery
If you’ve always wanted a fuller chest, a larger breast shape, or feel that your breasts have lost volume, shape, or size due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, then breast surgery at Clínica EGOS is the procedure for you.
Medical reasons for breast surgery
There are several medical reasons for undergoing breast surgery. One of the most common is breast reduction, which helps relieve discomfort such as back and neck pain associated with enlarged breasts. It also makes it easier to participate in physical activities and choose suitable clothing.
On the other hand, breast augmentation can address emotional concerns related to small breasts or be used for breast reconstruction following a mastectomy. Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, is performed to correct breast sagging due to factors like aging or weight loss, enhancing both appearance and comfort when wearing bras. Additionally, breast reconstruction helps improve body image and self-esteem after a mastectomy, using options such as implants, tissue grafts, or skin flaps. Finally, nipple correction surgery targets issues like inverted or supernumerary nipples, which can affect breastfeeding and cause discomfort. Before considering any procedure, it is essential to consult a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss personalized options and potential risks
Breast cancer treatment
Lumpectomy and mastectomy: This involves the removal of part or all of the breast, along with surrounding lymph nodes, as a key component of surgical treatment to eliminate breast cancer.
Preventive measure
Preventive mastectomy: In certain cases, breast removal is performed as a preventive measure, thereby reducing the risk of developing breast cancer in the future.
Removal of non-cancerous lumps
Removal of non-cancerous breast lumps: When non-cancerous breast lumps are identified, their removal is carried out for diagnostic purposes or to address specific medical concerns.

Follow exercise recommendations
Stick to the exercise and activity guidelines provided by your surgeon to avoid wound reopening.
Scar protection
Avoid direct sun exposure for about a year to preserve scar integrity.
Driving and sleeping posture
Avoid driving during the first postoperative week and sleep in an upright position for a more comfortable early recovery.
Consistent use of a sports bra
