Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing breast size, indicated for patients with excessively large breasts, a condition known as macromastia or, in more severe cases, gigantomastia. This issue can cause not only aesthetic discomfort but also physical and psychological problems. The goal of breast reduction surgery isn't limited to just reducing breast volume, but also includes reshaping the breasts and repositioning the nipples to achieve a harmonious appearance proportionate to the rest of the body.

"For very large breasts or people requiring rapid intervention for health reasons, a quick and non-invasive technique involving removal of excess tissue and grafting of the nipple-areola complex (Thorek technique) may be indicated. In severe cases - removal exceeding one kilogram or orthopedic indications - the procedure can be performed through the local health service."
Prof. Carlo Tremolada
About the Treatment
What is breast reduction surgery
Breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce breast size, particularly suitable for women suffering from physical or psychological issues related to overly large breasts. This surgery focuses not only on aesthetics but primarily on improving the patient's quality of life by alleviating symptoms associated with large breasts. These symptoms include chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, breathing difficulties, skin irritations due to excessive breast weight, and postural problems that can negatively affect the spine.
How breast reduction surgery is performed
The procedure involves several key phases. First, the surgeon removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, reducing overall breast volume. Then, the breast is reshaped to achieve a more harmonious form proportionate to the patient's body. An essential part of the process is repositioning the nipples, which are moved to a higher, more natural position, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing result. In some cases, the areola diameter may also need to be reduced to maintain proper proportions. The post-operative period requires certain precautions: wearing a supportive bra is recommended to support the tissues and promote healing, and avoiding intense physical exertion is recommended for the first few weeks. Scars, initially visible, gradually fade over time thanks to modern surgical techniques and proper healing management.
Benefits and results of breast reduction surgery
Breast reduction surgery is much more than just a cosmetic procedure: it represents a concrete solution to improve patients' physical and psychological well-being. By reducing breast weight, chronic neck and back pain are alleviated, improving posture and enabling greater freedom in daily movements and during physical activity. Aesthetically, the breasts appear more proportionate and harmonious, perfectly adapting to the body structure.
The decision to undergo breast reduction surgery is made in close collaboration with the surgeon, who carefully evaluates the patient's needs and health. The procedure is suitable for women of all ages who have completed breast development, and is also ideal after pregnancy or breastfeeding to correct changes in shape and volume.
