Breast reduction

Breast reduction, also called reduction mammaplasty, will reduce the size of your breast, and lift your breast. Patients undergoing breast reduction surgery seek relief of their long-standing symptoms related to their large and heavy breasts. Not only are patients affected by their shoulder and back pain, but they are also often limited in their physical, daily, and social activities, even not feeling confident in their daily lives. A breast reduction procedure, will make your breasts more proportionate to your body, improving your appearance, while also alleviating the emotional and physical load of large, heavy breasts.

During surgical breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), excess skin, fat and glandular tissue is removed. The nipple is placed in its anatomically designed position.

In most cases, a breast lift (mastopexy) is performed parallel to the reduction.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the extent of the intervention, it is necessary to spend two or three in the hospital. After surgery, a special support bra should be worn for six weeks. Sporting activities should also be avoided for at least six weeks. Usually, no suture removal is necessary as we use absorbable surgical sutures.
