BREAST REDUCTION

A well-formed breast that fits your own body is a wish that we cannot influence by ourselves. The size and shape of the breast is determined by genetics. These are only rarely being changed, e.g. by hormones (particularly during pregnancy and breastfeeding) or after a significant weight gain or loss.

In contrast to other body regions which we would like to change, e.g. if you want a flatter belly, we cannot change the breast. If the size of your breasts cause a restricted quality of life, the breast reduction can be a suitable method to fulfill the desire for change.

First of all, in a detailed discussion it must be determined what exactly does not correspond to your idea and causes a low self-esteem.

There are different methods that have different goals. It must be determined if only a breast reduction achieves the optimal result or if a breast lift is also necessary.

In addition, in the case of asymmetrical breasts it should be considered whether a breast adjustment is necessary.

For Whom is an Breast reduction Suitable and How is it Performed?

While some women long for nothing more than a larger breast, there are also women who have complaints such as back, neck and headaches, or even spinal damage, due to proportionally large breasts.

Dissatisfaction with the visual appearance of the breasts is often added to everyday complaints. A breast reduction can ensure that these symptoms are minimized and that you can also feel optically well again.

During a breast reduction, excess glandular, fatty and skin tissue is being removed from the lower part of the breast.

A new breast is formed from the upper glandular body. The areola and the nipple are also being positioned upwards. This surgical method has the advantage that breastfeeding is still possible if you want to have children.

There are different techniques that are used depending on the size and nature of the breast. The periareolar surgical technique is suitable for a minor correction, while the T-section breast reduction involves the tightening of the breast at the same time.

In some cases, liposuction of the outer chest area should also be considered to reduce the width of the breast and optimize the shape.
