In Madrid, breast reduction patients are seen at the Instituto de Benito clinic on C. de Serrano, 87, ground floor, in the Salamanca district, and the surgery is performed at Hospital San Francisco de Asís.
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to give a smaller, lighter and lifted breast in proportion to the body. Besides the aesthetic change, it usually relieves the back and neck pain and the chafing that very large breasts cause. It is done under general anesthesia, takes two to three hours and usually involves one night in hospital.
The price starts at €8,500 and depends on the volume to be removed, the technique and how much the breast has dropped. Financing is available for up to 48 months, 12 of them interest-free. In Madrid you are seen by Dr. Lucrecia Villanueva.
Why it matters who operates on you in Madrid

What the process is like in Madrid
From first contact to discharge, this is what happens and where if you have breast reduction surgery in Madrid.

Consultation
At our Madrid clinic, with the surgeon who will operate on you. Your case is assessed, the technique is defined and you leave the visit with a fixed written quote. It lasts around an hour and costs €80, which is deducted if you decide to go ahead with surgery.
- 02
Pre-operative tests
Blood tests, an electrocardiogram and an X-ray, included in the price. If you are coming from out of town, they are scheduled on the same day as your consultation to save you a trip.
