Breast Reduction & Lift

Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes surplus glandular tissue, fat and skin and lifts the remaining breast, easing the physical burden of very large, heavy breasts — grooved shoulders, back and neck pain, rashes in the fold and difficulty exercising. At Medical Institut in Plzeň the procedure starts from 80,000 Kč and is performed under general anaesthesia by the clinic's plastic surgeons. A separate breast lift (mastopexy with reshaping,…

During reduction the surgeon removes tissue, repositions the nipple-areola to a natural height (usually keeping it attached to its blood supply), tightens the skin envelope and closes so scars follow predictable patterns around the areola and in the fold. Mastopexy follows similar skin-tightening principles without major tissue removal. Both suit women bothered by sagging, asymmetry or the symptoms of oversized breasts.

Expect a supportive surgical bra, swelling and tightness for several weeks, and a return to light activity within one to two weeks; scars mature and fade over many months. Heavy lifting and chest exercise are paused early on. Both procedures can affect future breastfeeding and nipple sensation, and scarring is permanent though placed discreetly — these are reviewed in the consultation along with realistic outcomes, which vary between individuals.
