Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Reduction mammaplasty at this Hradec Králové practice addresses disproportionately large breasts by removing excess glandular tissue, adipose tissue, and stretched skin, then reshaping the remaining tissue into a firmer, higher-positioned mound. The nipple-areola complex is simultaneously reduced in diameter and relocated to a position appropriate for the new breast volume — a combined correction that creates natural-appearing breast proportions.

MUDr. Kloud selects the incision pattern based on the degree of reduction required and the existing anatomy. For moderate reductions in patients with reasonable skin elasticity, the vertical scar (lollipop) technique uses a periareolar incision and a vertical line down to the inframammary fold, limiting the scar burden. For larger reductions or breasts with significant ptosis, the classic inverted-T (anchor) technique provides greater reshaping control…

Surgery takes approximately two hours under general anaesthesia at Sanatorium Sanus, where patients stay for up to two post-operative nights. The pre-operative workup includes a GP examination approximately seven to ten days before surgery and a mammological assessment. Drain tubes are placed under each breast and removed at the first post-operative visit, typically on day one or two.
