Breast reduction
The course of the procedure
The procedure of making breasts smaller is also called breast reduction. In this procedure, sagging and overly large breasts are shaped by relocating the areola and nipple and removing excess skin or even excess gland and fat.
How the examination is carried out
During the pre-operative consultation, the doctor will examine the breasts, assess the client’s overall health, the medications she is taking, and may recommend a specialist examination. Before any breast surgery, we recommend at least a sonographic breast examination well in advance.
What is the preparation before the procedure
In preparation for surgery, it is necessary to:
- discontinue all medication causing increased bleeding
- consider, in order to reduce the risk of embolism, discontinuing contraception three weeks before the procedure
- maintain a 2-3 week interval since the last infectious disease
- not smoke – in order to improve healing before and after the procedure
- not drink or eat anything 6 hours before the procedure
- not underestimate cleansing and hygiene on the day of surgery, and not wear make-up
The day before the procedure, we mark the operation plan on the patient’s skin. We will try on the bra and make photo documentation.
Performance of the procedure
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and takes about 2 hours. The technique used (Hall-Findlay) leaves a scar around the areola and vertically, the previously usual horizontal scar in the submental groove is not necessary.
Just after the operation
After surgery, a tight padded dressing is applied to the entire chest. Postoperative pain is not severe and is effectively relieved in the first few hours.
On the first postoperative day we will change the dressing – a sports bra will be put on and a special bandage will be put over it for the next 4 days.
What is the postoperative care
From the fifth day onwards, the wounds are covered with Steristrip patches, and we recommend wearing a firm “sports” bra. The next follow-up is one week after the operation. Resting mode is necessary for office work for a week, longer for more demanding work. Avoid physical exertion and sports for 3 weeks. Showering is possible from day 7, with patches left on – these remain on the wound with several changes for 4-6 weeks.
The final result of the operation can be assessed 6 months later, the development of scars can take even longer. In some cases, special care of the scar is necessary, via silicone slices etc.
Breast reduction
Price of the procedure
The price of the procedure depends on the amount of tissue removed.
Results
Before and after the procedure
Photographs of the operated areas taken before and after the procedure perfectly illustrate its optical effect. However, for many procedures, we should not forget about their health effects, such as increased mobility, pain reduction, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
You ask, we answer
What technique do you use for liposuction?
There are several techniques of liposuction. At the aestea clinic we use the so-called super-wet technique. In this technique, the affected area is first infiltrated with fluid and then the fluid is suctioned out together with the fat. The amount of fluid infiltrated is approximately the same as the amount of fat suctioned during the operation.
Is there a weight limit for surgery?
We often operate on patients who weigh over 100 kg, the maximum possible weight for surgery is 120 kg.
Does surgery guarantee complete elimination of the disease?
Removal of unwanted adipose tissue leads in most cases to pain reduction, improved mobility and overall life satisfaction. However, the removal of all fat, whether lipedema or otherwise, cannot be guaranteed. Similarly, liposuction can by no means be said to be the absolute and exclusive cure for lipedema.
Is it possible to operate on the upper and lower limbs at the same time?
For a number of reasons, we do not recommend liposuction of the upper and lower limbs in one operation.
When can I go back to work after surgery?
It depends on the extent of the operation, how many litres are suctioned, but also on the individual sensitivity and resistance of the patient. We recommend taking a leave of 1-2 weeks. After 2-3 weeks it is usually possible to return to normal life.
