Breast reduction in Düsseldorf
by Aesthetify
For many people, a full breast embodies the classic ideal of female beauty. However, larger-than-average breasts can also be a burden for the women concerned: The weight can lead to chronic back and neck pain, tension and postural problems. In addition, there are often other restrictions in everyday life – when doing sport, when buying clothes or due to the feeling that the breasts are sagging or appear asymmetrical.
If you suffer from these complaints, a breast reduction can bring noticeable relief. At the Aesthetify Clinic in Düsseldorf, we combine many years of experience with modern medical expertise to fulfill your desire for smaller, harmoniously proportioned breasts.

Breast reduction in Düsseldorf: Our procedures
Breast reduction surgery (mammary reduction) reduces breast volume to reduce weight and improve freedom of movement in everyday life. The aim of the procedure is to relieve pressure on the spine and alleviate complaints such as back, neck and shoulder pain.
Our surgeons in Düsseldorf individually adjust the breast size to the body proportions during breast reduction to create a harmonious shape in addition to the health benefits. Different procedures are used depending on the initial situation and the desired result.
T- or L-cut
This method is ideal if a significant reduction of the breasts is desired. The incision is made around the nipple, vertically downwards and along the breast crease to create a T-shape or, if the reduction is less extensive, an L-shape. This technique can be used to reduce larger breasts by several cup sizes.
O-cut
The Benelli method, often referred to as the O incision, is suitable for slight reductions. A circular incision around the areola ensures that hardly any excess skin needs to be removed. This procedure is particularly gentle and leaves only minimal scarring.
L-cut
The L-cut technique, also known as the Lejour technique, is suitable for more moderate procedures of up to 500 grams per side. Here, only a single, vertical incision is made. This results in significantly fewer visible scars.

Breast reduction in Düsseldorf - important information
Scars
As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction surgery leaves scars. However, our specialists in Düsseldorf make the incisions in such a way that the scars are as inconspicuous as possible. If you are still unhappy with the scars, we can offer you effective options to improve their appearance.
Recovery and return to everyday life
To give the wound enough time to heal properly, you should rest for a few days after the operation. You will be able to resume light work after just a few weeks. You should wear a special support bra for at least six weeks to support the healing process and relieve pressure on the tissue.
What you should look out for - before and aftercare
To ensure that your breast reduction in Düsseldorf is a complete success, there are a few important points to bear in mind:
Before the surgery:
- Do not take blood-thinning medication such as aspirin for at least 14 days before the procedure.
- You should also stop taking hormone-containing medication such as the contraceptive pill in good time in consultation with your gynecologist.
- Reduce your alcohol and nicotine consumption to a minimum. This promotes wound healing and reduces the risk of complications.
After the surgery:
- Wear a special support bra for at least six weeks to stabilize the tissue and reduce swelling.
- Avoid sudden movements and lifting heavy loads for up to two weeks.
- Sleep on your back for the first few weeks.
- Start caring for your scars after about two weeks by using special creams or silicone gel.
- Light sporting activities can be resumed after around three to four weeks. However, you should wait six to eight weeks for more intensive training.
- Protect the scars from direct sunlight for at least six to twelve months.
Risks, side effects, long-term consequences
Every operation carries potential risks – and breast reduction surgery is no exception. These include wound healing disorders, post-operative bleeding or sensitivity disorders. However, such complications rarely occur. Sensory disorders after breast reduction usually disappear after a while. Our team in Düsseldorf does everything it can to minimize risks and offer you a safe and satisfactory result.

FAQ
Can a breast reduction also help with breasts of different sizes?
Yes, a breast reduction is an excellent way to compensate for asymmetries between breasts of different sizes. Our experienced surgeons in Düsseldorf will carefully analyze your individual situation and plan the procedure so that your breasts look symmetrical and harmonious after the operation. Precise adjustments in size and shape not only improve the aesthetic appearance, but also restore balance, which can have a positive effect not only on your physical but also on your emotional well-being.
Is the nipple also reduced during breast reduction surgery?
In many cases, the nipple is also adjusted as part of the breast reduction. This can affect both the size and the position. In Düsseldorf, we use modern techniques to ensure that the nipple is proportionate to the new breast size. Our surgeons take care to preserve the sensitivity and function of the nipple as much as possible. We will be happy to clarify in a personal consultation which adjustments make sense in your case.
Is it still possible to breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Whether you will still be able to breastfeed after the procedure depends on the surgical method chosen and the extent of the procedure. We make every effort to proceed as gently as possible in order to preserve your ability to breastfeed. Care is taken to ensure that important structures such as mammary glands and milk ducts are not damaged, as far as medically feasible. We will be happy to discuss your individual wishes and the best options in detail during your consultation.
Will scars remain?
As breast reduction is a surgical procedure, scars cannot be completely avoided. However, our surgeons in Düsseldorf make the incisions as precisely and inconspicuously as possible so that the scars are barely visible after healing. We also offer you modern methods of scar care to further improve the appearance. With the right aftercare and consistent protection from UV radiation, the scars can fade over time and become less noticeable.
Can a breast reduction be combined with a breast lift?
Yes, a combination of breast reduction and breast lift is not only possible, but is often recommended to achieve optimal results. After the breast reduction, the lift ensures that the breast has a harmonious shape. Our team will discuss with you whether this combination makes sense for you and explain the procedure to you. The aim is to create a natural-looking breast shape that meets your individual wishes.
