Breast reduction
Large breasts are not always perceived as positive. Large breasts can lead to physical limitations in everyday life, postural problems and even severe pain. In addition, patients are often subjected to a great deal of suffering. The surgical procedure of breast reduction is one way to correct the size, shape and volume of the breast. Existing asymmetries can be corrected. The excess skin, fat and glandular tissue can be removed. Often a breast reduction is performed in combination with a breast lift or an internal bra. The necessity must be discussed individually with the doctor on site.

When does a breast reduction make sense?
A breast reduction can be useful if large breasts cause physical discomfort, such as back pain, neck tension or skin irritation. It can also help to increase self-confidence and improve quality of life, especially if breast size restricts everyday life or sporting activities.
What should I bear in mind after a breast reduction?
There are some important points to consider after a breast reduction:
1. rest and recuperation: Allow yourself sufficient rest and avoid physical exertion, especially in the first few weeks.
2 Dressing and care: Keep the dressing clean and dry and follow your doctor's instructions for wound care.
3. supportive clothing: wear a well-fitting, supportive bra (compression bra) to aid healing.
4. avoid pressure: Be careful not to put too much pressure on the breasts and avoid lifting heavy objects.
5. pain control: take painkillers according to your doctor's instructions and report any unusual pain or symptoms.
These measures help to promote healing and minimise the risk of complications.
How long does it take to heal after a breast reduction?
Healing after a breast reduction usually takes several weeks. Most patients feel ready to resume their daily routine after around 1 to 2 weeks, although physical activity and sport should usually be restricted for around 4 to 6 weeks. The final results are often only visible after a few months, when swelling has subsided and the breast shape has stabilised. It is important to follow your doctor's specific healing instructions.
What could be the reasons for a breast reduction?
The reasons for a breast reduction are often physical complaints such as back pain and neck tension caused by large breasts. Many women also want improved self-confidence and a more harmonious body proportion. In addition, changes after pregnancy or weight changes can increase the desire for a reduction.
Do I have to lose weight for a breast reduction?
It is not essential to lose weight before a breast reduction, but many doctors recommend achieving a stable weight. A healthy weight can improve the outcome of the operation and reduce the risk of complications. If you plan to lose weight, it makes sense to do so before surgery to promote optimal healing and long-term results.
Is a breast reduction painful?
Breast reduction surgery can be associated with pain and discomfort after the operation, but this is usually well controlled with painkillers. Many patients report a pressing or pulling sensation, especially in the first few days after the procedure. The intensity of the pain varies from person to person, and most people experience a noticeable improvement within one to two weeks.
How much does a breast reduction cost?
The cost of a breast reduction can vary greatly depending on the clinic, doctor, location and individual circumstances. In Germany, prices are generally between 5,000 and 10,000 euros. At our clinic, prices for a breast reduction start at 2,500 euros. It is also important to consider possible additional costs such as anaesthesia, hospitalisation and aftercare. It is also possible that the health insurance company will cover the costs if the breast reduction is necessary for medical reasons. It is therefore advisable to clarify this with your health insurance provider in advance. You can also finance the costs of a breast reduction with us. Talk to us!
What should I not do after a breast reduction?
After a breast reduction, you should avoid heavy physical exertion and lifting heavy objects for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Sleeping on your stomach and bathing or swimming in the first few weeks is also not advisable in order to minimise the risk of complications. It is also important to avoid pressure on the breasts and to wear comfortable, supportive clothing.
When should you not have a breast reduction?
Breast reduction surgery should be avoided if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the breast size and shape may change afterwards. It is also advisable to wait if you have certain health problems, such as severe cardiovascular disease or poor healing conditions. You should also consider whether you are planning to lose weight in the near future, as this could change the outcome of the operation.
For which cup size should I have a breast reduction?
Breast reduction is often considered when the cup size is felt to be inappropriately large, often from cup sizes D or E. Ultimately, however, the decision depends on individual complaints, physical complaints such as back pain and personal wishes. It is important to discuss the reasons and expectations in a consultation with a specialist to find the best solution for you.
How long does a breast reduction operation take?
Breast reduction surgery usually takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual circumstances. The exact duration may vary depending on whether additional procedures are performed. After the operation, you will often stay in the clinic for a few hours for observation before you can go home.
How long in hospital after breast reduction surgery?
After breast reduction surgery, you will usually stay in hospital for 1 to 2 days. In some cases, the stay may be shorter if the procedure is uncomplicated and there are no complications. However, the final decision depends on your state of health and the recommendations of the doctor treating you.
