Breast reduction in Zurich

Breast reduction, known in technical terms as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of large breasts. Unlike many other cosmetic surgical procedures, the focus is not solely on appearance. Many clients have suffered for years or even decades from heavy breasts and finally want relief.

During breast reduction surgery in Zurich, excess glandular tissue as well as skin and fatty tissue are removed. Through precise redistribution of the remaining tissue, the breast is given an aesthetic shape that appears feminine without dominating the body silhouette too much. The relief is immediately noticeable and has long-term longevity.

Breast reduction in Zurich can be performed for health reasons if heavy breasts cause discomfort, or for aesthetic reasons. Very often, both factors play a role when women decide to have their large breasts reduced.

Reasons for breast reduction in Zurich may include:

• Physical limitations due to large and heavy breasts
• Discomfort such as chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
• Unwanted attention due to large breasts
• Emotional stress and lack of self-confidence
• Changes in shape—large breasts tend to sag more easily
• The desire for an easier, more active lifestyle

Our team of experts led by Dr. Köhler takes both health and aesthetic aspects into account to achieve a result that will finally make you feel completely comfortable again.

The goal of your breast reduction in Zurich is an improvement in your quality of life and zest for life. We want to finally relieve you of the burden you have been carrying for so long—perhaps your entire life.

Breast reduction does not have to mean a loss of femininity. The breast is carefully sculpted and adapted to your body shape to create a sensual, feminine décolleté that finally harmonizes with your silhouette.

Breast reduction in Zurich is designed to pave the way for a whole new, lighter body image.

Preparation for treatment

Before your breast surgery, we invite you to Zurich for a detailed consultation. Dr. Köhler will explain all the details of this life-changing procedure and what to expect after the operation. Important aspects such as incisions, risks, and aftercare will be discussed in detail. The condition of your breasts will be documented with photos.

It is important to us that you are in the best of health at the time of your breast reduction. Therefore, some preliminary examinations may be necessary. Hormonal causes for enlarged breasts should be ruled out, as otherwise there is a risk of renewed breast growth after the reduction.

If possible, refrain from smoking and taking blood-thinning medication before and after your breast reduction in Zurich.

Performing breast reduction

Breast reduction surgery in Zurich is always performed under twilight sedation. This means you are spared the stress of general anesthesia. You can drive home on the same day, accompanied by someone else.

The exact procedure for breast reduction can vary from person to person. Usually, several incisions are made around the nipples, down to the crease under the breast, and, if necessary, along the breast crease. Excess skin, glandular tissue, and fatty tissue are removed through these incisions. The remaining tissue is repositioned to give the breast a beautifully rounded shape. If there is significant tissue sagging, a subtle breast lift may also be performed.

Another important aspect of breast reduction in Zurich is the adjustment of the nipples. In almost all cases, the nipples must be moved upward so that they return to their original, youthful position. Dr. Köhler prefers to relocate the nipple complex while preserving the Blood vessels and milk ducts in order to avoid loss of breastfeeding ability. Correction of the shape and size of the nipples is also possible.

Follow-up care

After your breast reduction in Zurich, we recommend a few weeks of rest. During this time, you will wear a special support bra and an adhesive bandage, which should be changed at regular intervals. Make sure you get plenty of rest during the first week and avoid overhead positions and sudden arm movements.

In the days following your breast surgery, we recommend sleeping in a slightly elevated position on your back. You should refrain from physical exertion and sports, especially in the first 14 days. Then you can slowly integrate light activities back into your everyday life. Direct sunlight and tanning beds should be avoided for several months so that the Scars heal as discreetly as possible.
