Relief for the body and mind:
Breast reduction
The reasons for a breast reduction are very individual. Back pains and tension are common adverse effects of breasts which are too large and heavy. With the breast reduction, the breast is both reduced in size and, if necessary, lifted in a single operation.
Goal of the operation:
- Relief of posture problems, back pains, etc.
- Finally be able to wear a standard commercially available bra size
- No more painful constrictions from bra straps
- A new, untroubled and freer attitude towards life
The procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia in the scope of an inpatient hospital stay of 1 to 2 days. A lift performed in outpatient treatment under local anesthesia is possible in select cases. Since we have a wide range of operative techniques for breast reduction at our disposal, the technique which is best suited to you must be selected ahead of time in individual consultation.
We will be glad to advise you at our practice - free of charge and under no obligation.
