Breast Reduction (Redukční Mammaplastika)

Breast reduction at SANUS Hradec Králové addresses macromastia — excessively large breasts causing back pain, postural problems, skin irritation, and restricted activity. The operation is performed by specialist plastic surgeons under general anaesthesia in the clinic's ISO 9001-certified surgical suite. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed and the breast reshaped to a proportionate size, with the nipple repositioned for a natural result. SANUS handles over 4,000 surgeries per year, and the plastic surgery team has accumulated detailed patient testimonials covering their technical precision and post-operative care. The procedure may qualify for partial insurance coverage when medically indicated.

Breast reduction (redukční mammaplastika) at SANUS Hradec Králové is indicated for women whose breast size causes chronic back or neck pain, postural strain, skin fold irritation beneath the breast crease, or significant functional limitations during sport and daily activity. The procedure removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the breast to a more proportionate size and simultaneously lifting the nipple-areola complex to a natural position on the new breast mound. At SANUS, surgery is performed by the dedicated plastic surgery team in the clinic's main surgical suite at Labská kotlina 1220/69, Hradec Králové. The facility is certified to ISO 9001 and handles over 4,000 operations per year across all specialties, supporting a high-throughput, process-driven approach to surgical safety and aftercare. During the pre-operative consultation, the surgeon assesses breast anatomy, discusses the planned incision pattern (commonly an inverted-T or vertical scar approach), the expected degree of volume reduction, and the realistic scar outcome. Patients with a genuine medical indication — such as documented spinal pain or recurrent intertrigo — may be eligible for partial reimbursement from Czech public health insurance; the clinic can advise on the documentation required. Surgery typically takes 90–120 minutes under general anaesthesia (anaesthesia fee 8,000 Kč for procedures over 60 minutes). Patients spend one to three nights at the clinic in a well-appointed inpatient room with nursing care and full catering. On discharge, a supportive post-surgical bra is worn continuously for four to six weeks. Swelling and bruising settle over two to four weeks, and the final breast shape stabilises over six months as scars mature. Strenuous upper-body exercise, heavy lifting, and swimming are restricted for six weeks post-operatively. Scar management with silicone gel or sheeting may be recommended from six weeks onwards. All follow-up appointments are with the operating surgeon. Contraindications include active infection, blood clotting disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, and active cancer. Smoking significantly increases wound-healing risk and is requested to cease at least four weeks before surgery.
