Breast reduction or reduction adjustment of excessive breasts solves not only an aesthetic problem but in many cases rather a health problem. Large breasts often cause poor posture and body overload, spinal problems (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar) including curvature, and thus frequent headaches, sometimes affecting breathing, causing leg swelling, which affects not only health but also the woman’s psyche.
Breast reduction or reduction adjustment of excessive breasts solves not only an aesthetic problem and problem with choosing underwear and swimwear, but in many cases rather a health problem. Since time immemorial, women’s breasts have been a symbol of female beauty. Often women are not satisfied with them, mainly with their size, and undergo breast plastic surgery with enlargement. The opposite, however, are women who are troubled by heavy, possibly misshapen breasts, as a result of drastic weight loss, repeated births, or due to genetic predisposition, also the cause may stem from aging, loss of elasticity, and thus significant breast sagging. Breast reduction is also often sought by young women who, due to excessive mammary gland formation, struggle with large breasts, and they bother them, for example, during sports, or create disproportionate symmetry to the body.
Breast reduction effectively removes and reduces excess skin, breast and fatty tissue in the breast area. Part of the procedure is modeling the remaining breast volume. In several cases, breast reduction also has a preventive character, eliminating the occurrence of many health problems.
Large breasts often cause poor posture and body overload, spinal problems (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar) including curvature, and thus frequent headaches, sometimes affecting breathing, causing leg swelling, which affects not only health but also the woman’s psyche. The area under large breasts (grooves under the breasts) is also prone to the formation of inflammatory processes, infections, or eczema. However, the removal of all these problems and improvement of quality of life can only occur after breast reduction.
Breast reduction is performed on adult patients; exceptionally, if serious health problems threaten, the procedure can be performed on younger patients.

Breast reduction significantly affects health, improves psychology, enhances the bust, removes sagging, and helps solve unaesthetic deviations by creating acceptable breast areas.
At Premier clinic, we have only premium equipment. We are the only ones in the Czech Republic to use unique German anesthesiological units that allow fully digital anesthesia administration. All our anesthesias are therefore performed as so-called low-flow anesthesia with premium anesthetic gas. This makes waking up easier for the client and virtually eliminates unpleasant effects of anesthesia.
Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia for approximately 2-3 hours. Incisions are made in predetermined and pre-drawn areas, during which excess sagging skin wall, excess fatty tissue, and part of the mammary gland are removed. The breasts are remodeled, the areola is repositioned, its size is adjusted as necessary, and then all wounds are surgically sutured with internal absorbable stitches. These also have the ability to strengthen the scar for proper healing.
Breast reduction is performed so that incisions cross around the areola, continue from the center of the areola downward, and under the breasts form a small segment resembling an anchor, always so that the scars are as inconspicuous as possible. Drains are inserted into the operated area, which during 24-48 hours serve the function of better blood and tissue secretion drainage, are a supporting tool for faster healing, and also eliminate inflammatory processes, etc. The treated area is disinfected and covered with sterile absorbent gauze. After breast reduction surgery, the patient is hospitalized with elastic bandaging or compression underwear around the chest for 1-2 days as needed, then the drains are removed and the patient goes home with instructions from the doctor for home care.

Breast reduction is an invasive surgical procedure that requires only a healthy patient. For breast reduction, pre-operative examination is also necessary, and for older patients, mammographic or ultrasound examination of the breasts is also advisable. Approximately 2-3 weeks before the procedure, we recommend discontinuing medications that may cause increased bleeding (medications containing acetylsalicylic acid). It is also desirable to limit smoking before and after the procedure.
Breast reduction is usually performed on women who have breastfed, approximately 6 months after completion.
After breast reduction surgery, the treated areas may be painful, with swelling and bruising that subsides within a few days. Breast reduction requires 1-2 days of hospitalization, after which drains are removed and the patient goes home with compression underwear, returning for dressing changes as agreed with the doctor. Post-operative care is important for breast reduction, including 2 weeks of rest on sick leave and wearing elastic underwear for about 2 months. Wearing it eliminates swelling, helps shape the breasts and promotes better healing. All stitches are absorbable, so no removal is necessary. To eliminate scars, it is advisable to supplement care with gentle pressure massages and apply quality moisturizing creams after about 14 days. Scars, if they remain, will fade over six months. Excessive physical exertion is also not recommended for 2 months after the procedure, and showering is preferable for hygiene.
The resulting effect is long-lasting, but everything depends on the quality and elasticity of the skin, individual healing ability, and proper adherence to post-operative care. If you maintain a stable weight, there is no need to repeat the procedure.
Women over 35 years of age are recommended to have regular preventive mammographic check-ups.
