Breast reduction in Dortmund

Go through life lighter at last!

// Treatments / Breast surgery / Breast reduction

A beautiful breast is important to women. For most, this also includes the right size. It shouldn’t be too small or too big. Women with overly large breasts often suffer from the volume and heaviness of their breasts. Large breasts cause pain in the back and neck, restrict mobility and are “stared at”. They can be a medical problem, but they are very often at odds with aesthetic expectations.

However, psychological stress due to overly large breasts is not necessary and should not be expected of any woman. Breast reduction, also known as mammary reduction, offers women today the opportunity to go through life more easily and enjoy a better body image.

At UNIQAESTHETICS®, our experienced specialists in aesthetic and plastic surgery have been performing breast reduction operations for many years, fulfilling women’s desire for beautiful, shapely breasts. At our private clinic, we attach great importance to the highest medical standards, comprehensive care and natural-looking results.

Large breasts can be a burden: The case for breast reduction.

A voluminous, heavy and sagging breast can cause various physical complaints. Women with very large breasts tend to have poor posture in the cervical and thoracic spine, which in extreme cases can lead to a slipped disc. In addition to back, neck and shoulder pain, many also suffer from the painful cutting in of bra straps as well as skin irritation and eczema in the underbust area.

In addition to orthopaedic problems, women with large breasts often feel restricted in their mobility, e.g. during sporting activities. Not to be underestimated are the uncomfortable body sensation and the emotional pressure that many women feel because they obviously do not conform to the “norm”.

Whether for medical or aesthetic reasons, there are many good reasons why a breast reduction is a sensible procedure – for the body and general well-being.

Reasons for a breast reduction

– Back pain and even postural problems
– Problems in the shoulders and neck

The different treatment methods for breast reduction.

During a breast reduction, excess skin, fat and glandular tissue is removed and the remaining tissue is shaped into a smaller breast. This can be done in different ways, depending on the breast size, whether a breast lift is desired at the same time or whether, for example, the ability to breastfeed should be maintained. The methods differ in the respective incision technique: i-, O- or T-method refer to the shape of the incision.
i method, if a moderate amount of tissue is to be removed in the lower breast area
O method, if only the areola needs to be tightened; very scar-saving
T method, if a lot of breast tissue is to be removed

As part of the operation, the areola is usually reduced to a diameter of around 4 cm and usually repositioned.

What is your desired cup size? Would you like a direct breast lift to reshape your breasts? At UNIQAESTHETICS® in Dortmund, after an intensive preliminary examination, we discuss with our patients their personal wishes and the most suitable treatment option for them. Our goal is always a breast shape that corresponds to the respective body proportions and creates a harmonious overall appearance.

A breast reduction is performed under general anaesthetic and takes up to four hours. For the next two days, drains are placed during the operation to drain the wound water and prevent wound healing problems. The scars should be spared for the first six to eight weeks, after which the traces of the operation will have largely healed.

1st consultation
First, we answer all your questions in a detailed consultation. We clarify possible complications and discuss your wishes.

2. preliminary examination
Before a surgical procedure, we always carry out a thorough preliminary examination, which includes a mammogram or ultrasound examination, for example. This allows us to ensure that there are no pathological changes in the breast.

3. surgical procedure
Depending on the previously determined incision technique, the operation is performed in which we remove glandular and fatty tissue as well as excess skin. At the end, we place drains to drain the wound water and to prevent bruising and healing problems. Breast reduction surgery takes up to 4 hours. Afterwards, you will stay with us for 1 to 2 days for observation.

4. wound care and aftercare
After the operation, we will fit you with a compression bra, which should be worn consistently during the day and at night for 6 weeks. It takes a while for the breast to find its new position. Breasts that are initially quite stiff will recover over time, lowering and softening again so that they look completely natural after a few months.

5. support and monitoring
We will regularly monitor the results of the operation and provide you with behavioral recommendations as part of your aftercare. You can rest assured that we will always let you know in good time what is good for your healing process and what you should avoid for the time being.

The most frequently asked questions about breast reduction

When does health insurance pay for a breast reduction?

As a rule, the health insurance company will pay for a breast reduction if there are medical reasons. An examination by the attending physician and approval from the health insurance company is required.

When can I start sleeping without a bra after breast reduction?

It is recommended to wear the support bra day and night for 6 weeks. The surgeon will give precise instructions as he can judge when the breasts are sufficiently healed and stabilized.

When does a breast reduction make sense?

Reasons for a breast reduction include physical complaints, restrictions in everyday life, psychological effects and medical indications.

How does a breast reduction affect breastfeeding?

This varies greatly from woman to woman. Milk production and the ability to breastfeed can be affected by a breast reduction. It is always advisable to discuss the individual situation and family planning with the surgeon in advance. However, thanks to today’s surgical techniques, a very large percentage of women are still able to breastfeed.

How long is the healing process for a breast reduction?

Swelling, bruising and slight pain may occur in the first few days. During the first few weeks, physical activity is limited and the surgical scars must be protected. Complete recovery can take several months, only then will the breasts have assumed their final new size and shape.

How much can a breast be reduced in size?

A breast can be reduced by several cup sizes, provided that sufficient breast tissue remains to ensure blood flow to the tissue and nipple function. The ultimate goal is a breast size that is proportional to the body shape.
