Get rid of back and shoulder pain and achieve the ideal breast size, natural looking
Excessively large breasts can cause health and emotional problems. In addition to personal perception problems, you may also experience physical pain and discomfort.
The weight of excess breast tissue can reduce your ability to live an active life. The emotional discomfort and self-consciousness that is often associated with a larger breast can be a serious health problem as well as physical discomfort and pain.
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat, glandular and skin tissue from the breasts, making them smaller.
During the procedure, the nipples are also lifted, and the areolas (darker skin around the nipples) are reduced as needed. In breast reduction surgery, a breast lift is performed at the same time to ensure a harmonious breast shape.
Breast reduction surgery can be done by women of any age. It is recommended to perform the procedure after the breasts are fully developed.
Breast reduction surgery is intended for people who have excessively large breasts that cause the following difficulties:
Breast reduction allows you to feel better and more feminine. Your new breasts will be proportional to the rest of your body to achieve a harmonious look.

Women decide to have this surgery for various reasons, but all with the aim of improving the overall quality of life.
During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, you will discuss your expectations from the procedure. This includes planning a realistic and healthy breast size.

Before breast reduction, it is necessary to perform a consultation examination with our plastic surgeon. The success and safety of the breast reduction procedure largely depends on your complete honesty during the consultation. The surgeon will ask you a series of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.
During the examination, the surgeon will assess your general health and instruct you in the necessary procedures before the procedure. They will also evaluate the appearance of your breasts, including the position of the nipples and areoli, the condition of the skin, and the shape of the breasts.
You will then discuss the possibilities of the procedure, the outcomes of breast reduction, and possible risks and complications.
Given that breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia, the following tests should be performed before the procedure:
You will also talk to the surgeon about your medical history: medications you take, allergies, smoking habits, previous surgeries, and the like.
Before breast reduction, it is advised to quit smoking, at least 6 weeks before surgery. If you are planning a more drastic weight reduction, it is recommended to do the same before the breast reduction procedure. Sudden changes in weight can affect the desired result.
Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon questions about whatever is bothering you. It is very important to understand all aspects of breast reduction surgery, especially in the context of your personal health history.
Breast reduction is a procedure that includes the reduction of breast tissue, reshaping and lifting the breasts, and correcting the position of the nipple. If necessary, it is also possible to reduce the areola in order to achieve the desired result.
On the day of the operation, after admission, the medical staff of the clinic will escort you to your room.
Your plastic surgeon will then talk to you once again about the course of the procedure and answer all your questions. The anesthesiologist will then do all the necessary preparation for general anesthesia.
On average, breast reduction surgery takes 180 – 240 minutes. Depending on your physique, breast shape and volume, and your wishes, the plastic surgeon decides on a suitable breast reduction technique.
The amount of skin is reduced, the nipples usually have to a more natural or anatomically correct position and a certain amount of breast tissue is removed. The rest of the breast tissue is conveniently shaped.
The final scar is most often in the shape of an inverted letter T. Upon completion of breast reduction surgery, the incisions are closed with stitches located under the skin.
After you wake up, you will stay in your recovery room after the surgery. If you feel well, and your good condition is confirmed by medical staff, you will be discharged to home care. This is usually within a few hours after the procedure.
After breast reduction surgery, your plastic surgeon will introduce you to the rules of care and speedy recovery.
Swelling and pain in the breasts are common, which can be relieved with painkillers and resting in an upright position on two to three pillows. You will get a sports bra that needs to be worn constantly.
A few weeks after the breast reduction, your breasts will be sore. Due to swelling, there may be a change in the sensation of the breasts, this is normal and is not a cause for concern. For most women, the sensation returns after a few weeks or months.
About two weeks after breast reduction surgery, it is possible to return to work. Keep in mind that for the first 3 to 4 weeks, it is necessary to refrain from intense physical activity and lifting heavy things.
Try to take as much rest as possible, it is recommended to be absent from work for at least 2 weeks after the procedure. After breast reduction surgery, your body needs time to fully recover.
Over time, scars that are initially red and swollen become increasingly inconspicuous. Over the course of a few months, the scars will fade more and more to the normal color of the skin.
Smoking and tobacco consumption are very harmful to the body and slow down its ability to heal, so it is advised to quit smoking before and after the procedure.
To achieve the desired results, it is crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions. It is important to limit physical activity during recovery, that is, not to subject surgical incisions to excessive force or sudden movements.
