Oversized breasts can be a daily burden for many women. It is often not only the self-image that suffers, but above all the body: the constant weight on the shoulders and back can cause tension, postural damage and chronic pain. At Aesthetify in Berlin, we tackle this problem with a specialist breast reduction. This procedure takes pressure off the spine and muscles, relieves discomfort and at the same time gives you new self-confidence – a feeling as if a heavy burden has finally been lifted.

Information on breast reduction
For many women, a breast reduction can provide noticeable relief in everyday life – both physically and emotionally. The aim of the procedure is to reduce the breast volume, harmonize the shape and thus both alleviate discomfort and achieve an aesthetically pleasing result. At Aesthetify in Berlin, you will be assisted by experienced specialists who will provide you with comprehensive advice, gentle guidance and select the optimal treatment method for your breast reduction.
Methods for breast reduction in Berlin
Our Aesthetify specialists in Berlin select the incision for a breast reduction according to the respective anatomical conditions and the desired results. Two proven procedures are available:
I-cut (Lejour method)
The so-called Lejour method is ideal for moderately enlarged, slightly sagging breasts. The skin opening runs in a circle around the areola and vertically to the underbust crease – a slender “line” that leaves only minimal scarring. At the same time, the technique allows a reliable lift and shapely contour.
T-cut (Strombeck method)
The T incision is used when a lot of volume needs to be removed and heavily sagging tissue needs to be reshaped. In addition to the vertical line, a second scar runs along the underbust crease, creating an inverted “T”. The larger access area gives our surgeons the necessary scope to precisely reduce and lift even pronounced breast shapes.
Breast reduction procedure
Step 1 – Advice and planning
During your initial consultation at our Berlin clinic, you will explain your wishes and any concerns you may have about breast reduction. Our specialists will examine your breast shape, explain possible surgical methods and answer all your questions. At the end, you will be fully informed and receive an individual treatment plan.
Step 2 – Operation
On the day of the operation, you will come to our clinic fasting. Your surgeon will mark out the incision and discuss the procedure once again. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia by an experienced team and takes three hours or more, depending on the method.
Step 3 – Healing and result
You should take it easy for about two weeks after the operation. Sport and physical activity are possible again after about six weeks. The first results can be seen after just a few weeks, the final result is visible after around six months.

Interesting facts about breast reduction
Duration & incapacity to work
A breast reduction at our clinic in Berlin usually takes two to three hours, depending on the technique and extent of tissue removal. You should expect to be unable to work for around ten to fourteen days. An earlier return to work is often possible for physically light activities, whereas professions involving heavy lifting or intensive movement require a break of several weeks. Start sporting activities cautiously: you can go for walks after a few days, but you should wait a few weeks for cardio training and heavy exertion.
Scar healing
During a breast reduction, slight scars occur vertically from the nipple to the crease under the breast (I incision) and, if necessary, also along the crease (T incision). Our doctors in Berlin take an extremely gentle approach and place the scars in such a way that they are barely noticeable once they have healed properly. With consistent care, they usually develop into narrow, light lines. We are happy to offer you other methods to reduce them further afterwards.
Combination treatments
Many of our patients in Berlin combine the breast reduction procedure directly with a breast lift. As the skin loses tension after tissue removal, the additional lift gives the breasts firm support and a harmonious shape. At the same time, any asymmetries can be evened out, creating a particularly aesthetic and harmonious result. The lift and breast reduction are performed in just one procedure.
Risks & side effects
Like any surgical procedure, breast reduction also involves certain risks. Rare but possible complications include post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders and temporary changes in nipple sensitivity. Slight swelling and bruising are normal and will subside within a few weeks. At Aesthetify, we discuss all eventualities in detail, take preventative measures and monitor your healing process to keep risks to a minimum.

FAQ
How much tissue is removed?
This depends entirely on your expectations and the medical recommendations. It is usual to remove between 200 and 1500 grams per breast. In most cases, this is sufficient to alleviate discomfort and achieve a harmonious silhouette.
Is the ability to breastfeed maintained?
Usually yes – it all depends on how much tissue is removed. If it is a moderate breast reduction, the glandular tissue usually remains intact so that breastfeeding is still possible later on. If large amounts are removed, the likelihood that breastfeeding will only be possible to a limited extent or not at all is reduced.
Does breast reduction also work for breasts of different sizes?
Absolutely! Asymmetries can be ideally balanced out during a breast reduction. If necessary, we can also operate on just one breast in Berlin to create an even overall appearance.
Is the nipple adjusted?
If desired, we can move or reduce the areola so that the size, shape and position match the new breast. This is done during the same operation.
When will the result be visible?
Immediately after the operation, the breast appears even larger due to swelling. After around three months, the final shape becomes clearly visible, but it usually takes six months for all tissue structures to heal completely and the final result to be visible.
