Breast reduction surgery at Estela removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, lighter, and better-proportioned breast, while simultaneously repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a natural height. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia at St. Anna Faculty Hospital and takes two to three hours. As well as the aesthetic improvement, many patients experience significant relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain associated with large breasts, along with an improved ability to exercise and wear fitted clothing. A minimum one-night hospital stay is included. Sutures and drains are managed at follow-up appointments, with return to work typically at two weeks.
