Breast Reduction

Breast reduction at MEDICent removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to relieve the physical burden of disproportionately large breasts — chronic back and neck pain, bra-strap grooving, skin irritation in the inframammary fold, and restricted sport. The operation simultaneously lifts and reshapes the breast, so patients gain both relief and a firmer, higher contour. Performed under general anaesthesia (included in the 75,000–95,000 Kč price) by doc. MUDr. Tomáš Kempný, Ph.D., with one-day monitored hospitalisation.

Breast reduction consistently ranks among the highest patient-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery, because it solves daily physical problems rather than purely aesthetic ones. **Who benefits:** Women with breast hypertrophy commonly report chronic neck, shoulder, and upper-back pain; deep bra-strap grooves; intertrigo (skin maceration) beneath the breasts; difficulty finding clothing; and avoidance of running and sport. Reduction addresses all of these by removing the excess weight at its source. **The procedure:** Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon removes surplus gland, fat, and skin through an anchor or vertical incision pattern, reshapes the remaining tissue into a smaller, firmer breast, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to the new breast mound. The operation typically takes 2.5–3.5 hours. The amount removed is agreed at consultation against your frame and goals. **Recovery:** One-day hospitalisation with continuous monitoring, then home recovery in a surgical bra for about six weeks. Most patients describe the relief from weight as immediate — often noticeable as soon as they stand up. Desk work within 1–2 weeks; lifting and sport after 6 weeks. **Considerations:** Breastfeeding ability after reduction varies with technique and extent; sensation changes are usually temporary but occasionally persist. Scars follow the incision pattern and fade substantially over a year. These trade-offs are covered honestly at the consultation with the operating surgeon.
