It all starts with a detailed consultation with us in Berlin. Here you can take your time to describe your symptoms, your expectations and perhaps also your concerns about breast reduction. Our specialists will listen to you, examine your current breast shape and explain clearly which surgical procedures – such as the I or T incision – are suitable for you. Together, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages, discuss the procedure from the day of surgery to aftercare and clarify all questions regarding anesthesia, healing time and scar care. If you would also like a firmer silhouette, breast reduction can easily be combined with a lift at our clinic in Berlin. At the end of the consultation, you will leave with a customized treatment plan – and the certainty of knowing exactly what to expect.
Our Aesthetify specialists in Berlin select the incision for a breast reduction according to the respective anatomical conditions and the desired results. There are two proven methods: the I incision (Lejour method) and the T incision (Strombeck method). The I incision 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 for reliable tightening and a shapely contour. The T-incision, on the other hand, 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.
Overlong straps, constant pulling in the neck and constricting bras – anyone who lives with very large breasts knows these everyday hurdles only too well. A breast reduction, which we perform in Berlin, takes weight off the shoulders and the mind at the same time: the procedure can provide physical relief and increase freedom of movement, clothing and self-perception.
The plus points at a glance:
At Aesthetify, quality and patient safety are our top priorities – both for breast reduction and all other treatments. Our surgical director in Berlin, Dr. René Raboch, is a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery with more than ten years of experience in aesthetic medicine. His career in renowned clinics has not only given him the highest level of precision, but also a keen sense of natural proportions. Supported by a well-coordinated team and state-of-the-art medical technology, every breast reduction is carried out individually at our clinic in Berlin – not an “off-the-peg” treatment, but a tailor-made concept that takes your wishes and anatomical conditions into account. Strict hygiene guidelines, continuous quality controls and close aftercare ensure that you know you are in safe hands from the first consultation to complete recovery.
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.
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.
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.
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:
After the surgery:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
