breast reduction

Lightness, freedom of movement, body balance
Very large breasts can be a burden not only aesthetically but also physically. Back, shoulder or neck pain, pressure marks from bra straps, or limitations when doing sport and physical activity can have a significant impact on everyday life.
A breast reduction can help to alleviate these symptoms and harmoniously adapt the breasts to the individual’s body proportions.
The aim is not simply to make the breasts as small as possible. The focus is on achieving a natural breast shape and size that suits the individual’s body and feels right.
WHEN MIGHT A BREAST REDUCTION BE APPROPRIATE?
-
A breast reduction may be appropriate in cases of:
-
Back, shoulder or neck pain
-
Postural problems
-
Pressure marks caused by bra straps
-
skin irritation in the inframammary fold
-
restrictions on sport and physical activity
-
breasts that are disproportionately large in relation to body height
-
psychological distress caused by breast size
-
a desire for more harmonious body proportion
-
The most appropriate treatment always depends on the individual’s specific circumstances and personal wishes.
WHEN BREASTS BECOME A PHYSICAL BURDEN
Large, heavy breasts can affect posture, freedom of movement and general well-being.
Many patients find that sport and physical activity, in particular, are uncomfortable or restrict their movements. Choosing clothes can also be more difficult due to the size of the breasts.
A breast reduction can help to noticeably relieve the strain on the body and allow for greater freedom of movement in everyday life.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BREAST REDUCTION?
During the operation, excess breast tissue and skin are removed. At the same time, the breast is reshaped and lifted. The position of the nipple is also adjusted to suit the new shape of the breast.
The extent to which the breast is reduced and the most suitable surgical technique depend on the individual’s anatomy, their current symptoms and the desired outcome.
BREAST REDUCTION + LIFT
A breast reduction procedure generally involves more than just reducing the volume of the breasts. At the same time, the breasts are lifted and reshaped.
This allows the volume, shape and position of the breasts to be rebalanced more harmoniously.
The aim is to achieve a natural-looking breast shape that complements the figure and the individual’s body proportions.
