Breast Reduction

Breast reduction at AESTHGERY Plzeň removes excess breast tissue to reduce disproportionately large breasts, relieving physical complaints such as back and neck pain while creating an aesthetically balanced shape. It suits women whose breasts functionally limit everyday life or sport. MUDr. Kamila Šormová uses an incision pattern around the areola, vertically down to the breast fold, and within the inframammary crease; the nipple remains connected to its tissue, preserving sensitivity. Drains are placed after surgery and removed after about five days. Recovery takes approximately three weeks with a one-to-two-day clinic stay.

Breast reduction is consistently rated among the highest patient-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery, because it solves a daily physical burden — chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, bra-strap grooving, skin irritation under the breasts, and limitation in sport — while simultaneously improving shape and proportion. **Technique:** At AESTHGERY the incisions follow the standard anchor/inverted-T or vertical pattern: around the areola, vertically to the inframammary fold, and along the fold itself as needed. The surgeon removes the planned excess of glandular tissue, fat, and skin, reshapes the remaining breast into a firmer, higher cone, and repositions the nipple-areola complex upward. Crucially, the nipple stays connected to its underlying tissue pedicle throughout, preserving blood supply and sensitivity. **Stay and drains:** The operation is performed under general anaesthesia in the clinic's own operating theatre, with a one-to-two-day stay in an ensuite patient room. Drains evacuate post-operative fluid and are removed after approximately five days at a clinic check. **Recovery:** A supportive surgical bra is worn during healing; lifting, vigorous arm work, and sport are restricted in the early weeks. Overall recovery takes around three weeks, after which most everyday activities resume. The relief from back and neck strain is typically felt as soon as the early swelling settles. Scars mature and fade substantially over 6–12 months. **Candidates:** Women with breast hypertrophy causing physical complaints or marked disproportion — including after weight change or pregnancies. Smaller asymmetry of the opposite breast can be balanced within the same operation. At the Thursday consultation Dr. Šormová examines tissue composition and skin quality, discusses the achievable size, and provides an individual quote.
