Breast reduction Stuttgart

Who is a breast reduction in Stuttgart suitable for?

A breast reduction in Stuttgart is suitable for women who wish to have smaller breasts. The reasons for this can be both aesthetic and health-related. Excessively large and heavy breasts often lead to postural or back problems and thus considerably restrict the women concerned.

What methods are available for breast reduction?

The breast reduction in Stuttgart is planned with regard to the incision technique so that the results harmonize optimally with your body shape. Tissue is primarily removed from the lateral and lower breast areas. Dr. Schumacher uses the remaining upper parts of the glandular tissue to reshape the breast. Another option is combined breast surgery consisting of breast reduction and liposuction. By removing excess fatty tissue from the lateral bra area, a particularly harmonious and aesthetic breast shape can be created.

To what extent can we reduce the size of breasts in Stuttgart?

A maximum amount of tissue that can be removed during a breast reduction cannot be specified in general terms. In a personal consultation, Dr. Schumacher will discuss with you in detail which options a breast reduction in Stuttgart offers for your specific situation.

Blood-thinning medication, such as aspirin, should be avoided for around 2 weeks before the procedure. The consumption of nicotine and alcohol should also be avoided at best during this time. If you are dependent on certain medications, please let us know during your consultation so that we can find a solution together.

How does a breast reduction in Stuttgart work?

Consultation
Breast reduction is a comparatively major procedure from which you will ideally benefit for the rest of your life.

The procedure usually takes several hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Several incisions are made in a circle around the nipples and in the lower breast area. The excess tissue can then be removed through these incisions. In the next step, Dr. Schumacher forms a new breast from the remaining tissue. It is often advisable to also reduce the size of the areolas so that they are later in a harmonious relationship to the rest of the breast. Finally, the incisions are sutured and bandaged. You can recover from your breast surgery in inpatient care in Stuttgart.
