Before the operation at the Gl\u00fcckstadt Hospital, you will receive detailed advice from a specialist in plastic surgery. The doctor will advise you, taking into account your personal wishes and your initial situation. Under certain circumstances, a simultaneous tightening of the breast can be useful. It is also possible to perform liposuction in order to form an overall aesthetic picture.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tDepending on the initial situation, the breast reduction takes about 1.5 to 3 hours. The technique that achieves the shortest possible skin incisions is always used.\nIf the breast is lifted at the same time, a so-called T-cut is usually used, which is placed along the under breast crease.\nWhen breasts are reduced, excess skin and glandular tissue are removed first. This is followed by an aesthetic shaping of the breasts and placement of the nipples at the desired height.\n\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tAfter the operation\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\tAfter the operation, physical work should be avoided for about 2 weeks. If necessary, light activities can be carried out again quickly after the operation.\nThe freedom of movement of the arms, especially lifting, is restricted in the first few days. A feeling of tension in the breasts is also to be expected The strength varies depending on the personal pain sensitivity of the patient.\nWe recommend our patients to refrain from sporting activities for at least 2 weeks. After that, light training can be started according to personal preference. On the other hand, solarium visits and sauna sessions should be avoided for about 3 months.\n\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
