Breast reduction

YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL, FIRM BUST THAT SUITS YOUR OWN BODY.

When breasts become a burden. Breasts that are too big can cause psychological and physical problems. Whether in everyday life or during sports, neck, shoulder and back pain as well as spinal problems and posture problems can arise and the soul can also suffer.

WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE OPERATION

Many women suffer from their large breasts. The breasts are large, heavy and sagging, the patient no longer feels comfortable with her breasts, suffers from back pain and the breasts are a nuisance in everyday life and during sports. After more than a thousand operations in breast surgery, Dr. Bartsch has gained a lot of experience. He makes an exact analysis of the surface changes, lack of volume or loss, gravity and proportions.

After a comprehensive initial consultation, in which wishes and possibilities are discussed with the patient, the “desired bust” can be depicted by means of 3D planning. The patient sees in the 3D scan exactly what her breast could look like after the operation, gets certainty and can thus better imagine the result. You can see exactly which implant fits your own body best and see how your own breast could look after the operation. It is also important for me to tell the patients honestly and also to show them what is possibly “not possible” with their physical condition. Honesty is our top priority so that no false hopes are raised.

There are findings that show a medical indication, for example, if the large bust is proven to cause significant physical discomfort. If this is the case, the costs for a breast reduction are partly or completely covered by the health insurance. For many health insurance companies, the minimum amount of fat and glandular tissue to be removed is 500g per breast.

THIS HAPPENS DURING AND AFTER THE OPERATION

To reduce the volume of the breasts, glandular fat tissue is removed and the breast is reshaped. In most cases, a breast reduction is performed with a T-incision, as both skin and glandular tissue must be removed. Breast reduction is performed under a light general anaesthetic. The operation itself takes 1.5 – 2 hours.

The breast reduction procedure takes place in Vienna as a day clinic and under general anaesthesia. An overnight stay in the clinic is rarely necessary nowadays for medical reasons. On discharge you will be given a support bra to wear for 6 weeks. You will be able to work again after 1 to 2 weeks, but you should refrain from sporting activities for the first 6 weeks. After 2-3 days, the plaster will be changed and after approx. 2 weeks, the stitches will be gently removed.

Our team and we doctors are always available for you should you have any questions. In case of emergency, you can always reach us on our mobile number.

Further check-up appointments in our surgery are important in order to optimally accompany the healing process and will be arranged with you before the procedure.

Proper scar care is important. If you are prone to increased scarring, we can treat this with laser and medical needling (cost € 90,- per session).

After a successful operation and waiting for the healing process, you will have no pain, can breastfeed and do any sport without any problems.

Testimonials

Dr. Rolf Bartsch

The female breast is the most individual and personal thing of all. Patients who suffer from the weight and size of their breasts want a breast that is proportionate to their body. In a comprehensive consultation and a 3D scan of your breast, we can simulate the “desired breast” together and see how it could look on your own body.
