A breast reduction is not only an aesthetic but also a functional decision to make daily life easier.
Breast reduction is performed by removing excess tissue, fat and skin. The breast is reshaped and tightened.
Surgical techniques:
Each method is individually tailored to your needs in order to achieve an aesthetic and functional result.
A breast reduction is medically necessary if there are health problems such as:
Yes, in certain cases the health insurance company can cover the costs. The prerequisite is that there is a medical necessity, proven by:
The cost coverage must be applied for before the operation, and we will be happy to assist you in preparing the documents.
This depends on the chosen surgical technique. Modern procedures often preserve the ability to breastfeed, as the areola and milk ducts are spared in most cases. We will discuss your wishes during the consultation to find the best method for you.
Scars are a natural part of any operation. However, we position the incisions so that they are as inconspicuous as possible later on (e.g. in the breast crease). With the right scar care, they will fade considerably over time.
Healing takes place in several phases:
Regular check-ups ensure that everything is healing well.
Yes, sporting activities are possible again after the healing phase. In the first 6-8 weeks You should refrain from sport for the first few days so as not to impair healing. You can then slowly start with light training.
You will not feel any pain during the operation as the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. After the operation, you may experience slight pain or a feeling of tension, which can be easily controlled with painkillers. This discomfort usually subsides after a few days.
The amount of tissue to be removed depends on your complaints and wishes. In many cases, the weight is significantly reduced without affecting the natural shape of the breast. In the case of a medical indication, the amount of tissue removed can also be decisive for the assumption of costs by the health insurance company.
Yes, for men with Gynecomastia (enlarged mammary gland tissue) or Lipomastia (fatty tissue in the breast), a breast reduction can be performed. This is often possible using minimally invasive techniques to restore the male breast shape.
Yes, in many cases the breast is lifted at the same time as the reduction. This harmonizes the breast shape and achieves an aesthetic result. We discuss this individually during the consultation.
The costs vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the method chosen. They are usually between 5,500 € and 8,500 €. In cases where there is a medical necessity, the health insurance company may cover the costs.
