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.
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.
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.

The first step towards your breast reduction is a personal consultation at our location in Düsseldorf. Our experienced surgeons will explain the various surgical methods and help you choose the right technique for you. We take the time to understand your aesthetic wishes and explain to you in detail how we can realize them.
We often recommend combining breast tissue reduction with a breast lift to achieve a harmonious and aesthetic result. Depending on requirements, we make the incisions either around the nipple, in an L-shaped line or in an inverted T-shape. Only when all questions have been answered will we make an appointment for the procedure. This will take approximately 180 minutes and take place under general anesthesia, which is why you should also plan to spend some time in our recovery room. After the operation, you will receive detailed instructions on aftercare.
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 various methods of scar treatment to improve their appearance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
