Breast reduction
Breast reduction is a procedure that many women resort to because they want to have a more balanced look, or to alleviate the discomfort caused by big breasts.
As indicated by the name, breast reduction is a surgical procedure that dr. Speziale recommends to his patients that look to reduce the size of their breasts, achieving harmony between the size of the mammaries and the rest of the body and improve their posture as well.
Through the mammary reduction surgery, dr. Speziale is able to reduce the fat, the glandular tissue and the skin of the breast to make them lighter, firm and of course smaller. This surgery can also reduce the size of the areola (the skin around the nipple and slightly darker)

- Sagging breasts and stretched skin.
