Breast Reduction

Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to create smaller, lighter and better-proportioned breasts, and can relieve the neck, back and shoulder strain that very large breasts often cause. The nipple is repositioned and the breast reshaped for a balanced result. The published price starts from 28,000 zł.

Very large or heavy breasts can cause persistent physical discomfort — neck, back and shoulder pain, grooving from bra straps, skin irritation in the fold and difficulty with exercise — as well as affecting how clothes fit and how self-conscious a person feels. Breast reduction at Klinika Chirurgii Plastycznej Dr Nawrocki removes surplus breast tissue, fat and stretched skin, then reshapes the remaining tissue and repositions the nipple-areola to produce smaller, firmer and better-proportioned breasts. For many patients the relief of physical symptoms is as significant as the aesthetic change. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and generally takes around two to three hours depending on the volume removed and the reshaping required. As with a breast lift, incisions are needed to reshape the breast and are positioned to keep scarring discreet; scars fade over many months. A supportive surgical bra is worn afterwards, vigorous activity is avoided for several weeks, and most patients take a couple of weeks away from work. Some swelling and changes in sensation are normal and settle over time. Dr Nawrocki, with around three decades of surgical experience and membership of the Polish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, discusses the technique, scar pattern, anaesthetic, recovery and realistic outcomes at consultation. Individual results vary and the procedure carries the usual surgical risks reviewed beforehand. The published price starts from 28,000 zł.
