We acquire the firmness by moving the breast tissue, together with nipple and areola, higher up. We then remove part of the breast tissue, remodel the remaining tissue and tighten it with inner sutures. The surgeon may also change the size of areola during the procedure.
We specialize in breast surgery and therefore you may rely on great expertise of our surgeons who will recommend you a particular surgical method during an in-person consultation and explain to you all the details of the procedure.

Reviews
Dear Doctor Holuša,
yesterday I had my final follow-up after breast reduction and breast lift. I would like to thank you again for what you have done for me; I am really glad I underwent the procedure. I wish you success in your profession and, particularly, many satisfied women.
I.S., Czech Republic
Methods
Single scar
Globally, the most popular method of breast reduction for medium-sized breasts. It is also called Lejour or "vertical scar".
The result is a scar around areola and a single vertical scar down to the inframammary fold.
Short horizontal scar (L technique)
This technique is suitable for reduction of medium-sized breasts. The procedure is similar to the previous technique (Single scar), however a short horizontal incision directed to the side of the inframammary fold is added - so called L technique or B technique,
or, if necessary, an incision directed to the side and to the centre - "short horizontal scar".
Method for large breast reduction: so-called anchor
If a reduction of large or very over-sized breasts is required, it is necessary to apply a classical and time-tested method.
This result is a scar rounding areola, a vertical scar from the areola to the inframammary fold and a rounded horizontal scar in the inframammary fold under the whole breast, so-called anchor - or "inverted T-scar".
Surgical process
- We will explain everything to you during an in-person consultation before the procedure to prepare you carefully for the surgery.
- We will take necessary photographs before the surgery and the surgeon will draw his approach directly on your skin.
- During the whole time, the surgeon directs all of his attention only to you and you may use this time for any possible questions.
- The plastic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The whole procedure will be performed on the day of your admission to the Clinic and takes about 2-4 hours, depending on the scope.
- After breast reduction, usually a one-day hospitalization is needed.
During breast reduction, excessive breast skin and excessive hypertrophied breast tissue are removed. Then the nipple and areola are moved up. The areola can be also diminished if need be. - Mammary gland is sutured in the required higher position to the pectoral muscle with inner absorbable sutures.
- A special post-operative brassiere will be prepared for you after the surgery. Wear it to ensure the optimal healing process and overall recovery.
Recovery
Hospitalization is usually overnight or one day, in case of gigantomastia. When you leave the Clinic, you will receive a final report, including instructions for the first days after the surgery and a postoperative care package (painkillers, antiseptic soap, disinfection and other products to treat the wounds.)

When you leave the Clinic, you will receive a final report, including instructions for the first days after the surgery and a postoperative care package (painkillers, antiseptic soap, disinfection and other products to treat the wounds.)
Find a person who will drive you or accompany you after you are released from the Clinic. You cannot drive yourself. A taxi can be called upon request.
You have to rest about one week after breast reduction, then you can resume your job.
The first follow-up is 7 to 14 days after the surgery. You have to wear a postoperative medical brassiere for at least 14 days day and nights, eventually only at night.
You can participate in sports in approximately 6-8 weeks.
After 6 weeks you can sunbathe, however you should not expose the scars to UV radiation at least 6 months after the surgery. It is necessary to protect the scars by covering them with a sticking plaster or a high UV protection cream, otherwise they get dark.
When treated correctly, the scars fade out and almost disappear within six to twelve months, however never completely! It is possible to improve the scar appearance by a special laser treatment, 2-3 months after the procedure at earliest. The scars can also be treated with special products which are available at the reception.

Possible risks of breast reduction
Rádi bychom vás upozornili na možná rizika, která s sebou tento zákrok (redukce prsou) může přinést.
Obecná rizika operace v celkové anestézii
Jde o všeobecně známá, možná rizika při operacích v celkové anestézii.
(krvácení - hematom, infekce, plicní embolie, špatné hojení, rozestup operační rány, tvorba keloidních jizev atd.).
Specifická rizika pro daný zákrok
Každý druh zákroku má svá specifická rizika. U této operace (redukce prsou) jsou to tyto:
Kožní záhyby a asymetrie
V dolní části prsou bývají asi 2 měsíce po operaci kožní záhyby, vlnky a nerovnosti, které téměř vždy spontánně vymizí. Mohou se objevit rozdíly ve velikosti, tvaru a postavení prsou a prsních dvorců, u velkých prsou je velmi obtížné až nemožné docílit úplné symetrie.
Změny citlivosti bradavek
Můžete se setkat s komplikacemi, souvisejícími se změnou citlivosti bradavek, dvorců či kůže prsou. Citlivost může být zvýšená nebo naopak snížená.
Tyto změny se ve většině případů během několika měsíců až jednoho roku upravují k normálu. V některých případech jsou však tyto změny trvalé.
Porucha prokrvení okrsku tkáně prsu nebo kůže
Tato porucha se týká většinou dvorce nebo oblasti kožních cípů v případě „T" jizvy. Ve výjimečných případech může vést k odumření této tkáně.
Při operaci velmi velkých prsou se objevuje též určité, byť minimální, riziko nutnosti podání krevní transfuze.
