Breast reduction surgery
This procedure reduces the size of the breasts by removing excess skin and breast tissue (mammary gland). Large breasts can cause health problems – pain in the cervical spine and back. We can relieve you of these problems by reducing the size of your breasts. Breast reduction surgery is ideal if you are no longer planning to become pregnant, as pregnancy causes changes in the mammary glands. We also recommend waiting at least six months after your last breastfeeding. The ability to breastfeed after breast reduction surgery depends on the amount of mammary gland tissue left and the surgical technique used.
Indications
large breasts that the client finds unattractive or that cause discomfort or health problems
Overnight stay
one night
Stitch removal
stitches are absorbable, so only the ends of the stitches are trimmed two weeks after surgery
Description of the surgical procedure
Consultation
An initial consultation is a very important part of the surgery. The client tells the surgeon why she has decided to undergo the procedure, and the surgeon explains what she can expect from the procedure and discusses all the options with her. The size of the breasts will be adjusted according to the proportions of the body and chest.
Before the procedure
Before each surgery, it is necessary to assess the overall health of each client. Preoperative examinations for general anesthesia are performed by a general practitioner or internist.
The procedure
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours to complete. During the operation, excess skin and mammary gland tissue are removed. The areola is placed in a suitable position and can be reduced if necessary. At the end of the surgery, the surgeon will insert surgical drains to remove excess fluid from the body. The resulting scars are determined by the technique of the surgery. There will always be a scar around the areola.
After the procedure
After the procedure, the scars are covered with a plaster, and the breasts are wrapped in a sterile bandage. After the surgery, the client is hospitalized at our clinic for one day. Before discharging the client, we change the bandage and provide the client with an elastic bra, which she will wear for six weeks. The first check-up takes place approximately one week after the surgery. A proper rest regimen is essential for the first two weeks after the surgery. After a two-week period, it is possible to return to normal office work. Sports can be resumed after six weeks at the earliest. We recommend sleeping on your back for one month after the surgery.
The stitches are absorbable, but we usually remove any remaining ends during the check-up which takes place two weeks after the surgery. Usually two weeks after the surgery, the client starts doing gentle pressure massage on the scars and applying silicone cream to them. The scars are less visible after two weeks and barely noticeable after a few months, but it is important to take care of them. Pressure massage should be performed twice a day for several months. The postoperative care bag that the client receives from us after the operation contains all the necessary medications and creams.
The next check-up will take place six weeks and three months after the operation.
Risks
No surgery is completely risk-free. However, these risks are minimized by a skilled and experienced surgeon, adherence to preoperative instructions, and conscientious postoperative care. The client is informed of the most common surgical risks before the procedure.
Frequently asked questions and answers
Yes, breast reduction surgery can significantly relieve back, neck and shoulder pain, since it reduces the strain on your back. Back, shoulder, and neck pain are among the most common reasons why clients decide to undergo breast reduction surgery.
The procedure may be covered by health insurance if approved by the insurance company’s review physician. However, our clinic does not offer contractual reimbursement from health insurance – the procedure is covered by the client.
Breast reduction can be safely performed on clients with a BMI of up to 30. At higher BMI values, the risk of surgical and postoperative complications significantly increases.
In most cases, yes. If there is breast sagging (ptosis), it is necessary to move the nipple and areola to a more natural position within the new breast contour.
Yes, the breast size and shape are discussed with the surgeon in advance.
The goal is to achieve maximum possible breast symmetry. However, it should be noted that natural asymmetry is common and may persist to some extent even after the surgery.
Yes, changes in nipple sensitivity after the surgery are quite common. The return of sensitivity is usually a gradual process – sensation returns to normal within months. In some cases, however, sensitivity remains permanently altered.
The ability to breastfeed depends on the extent of mammary gland removal and the technique used. For this reason, we recommend undergoing the procedure only after you have completed your reproductive plans, but at least six months after your last breastfeeding.
The breasts will be smaller, firmer, and lifted. The resulting shape will be natural even without a bra.
The result is long-lasting, but the breasts may grow back, for example due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, or significant weight gain.
Yes, further surgical breast adjustments are possible in the future according to the client’s individual needs and wishes.
It is very important to set realistic expectations with your surgeon before the procedure. Due to individual anatomy, it is not always possible to achieve perfect symmetry or your dream appearance.
The price of the procedure includes general anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospitalization, postoperative medication, a post-surgery compression bra and all post-operative care, including check-ups.
