Breast Reduction in Berlin

‘How to get smaller breasts’ is a question that comes up more often than you might think. There can be many reasons – both physical and emotional – for wanting a breast reduction. From a medical point of view, large breasts can lead to a number of physical complaints, particularly with regard to postural problems and the associated back and neck pain. Many women therefore opt for breast reduction surgery. In Berlin, the AIVA team led by Dottore Andrea Caletti will be happy to advise you if you are considering such a procedure. The English-speaking staff at our clinic in Germany’s wonderfully cosmopolitan capital are more than happy to welcome international guests from all over the world!

Breast Reduction at AIVA in Berlin Procedure & benefits

Breast reduction surgery due to chronic back pain is not uncommon. The weight pulling the body forward causes poor posture that is difficult to correct. Sporting activities can also become more difficult. However, it is not only physical discomfort that can trigger the need for breast reduction surgery – emotional well-being can also be affected by very large, possibly bulky or disproportionate breasts. Would you like to feel good about your body again? We can help you with advanced methods and an exceptionally trained eye for aesthetics.

AIVA – Combining Health & Beauty

At AIVA in Berlin, we aim to achieve our goal of combining health and beauty by offering a breast reduction – also known as a reduction mammaplasty or more colloquially as a boob reduction – that is individually tailored to your body type and expectations. What sets us apart from other clinics? We combine innovative treatment options for a vital life. And we place great emphasis on personalised advice.

Various surgical procedures can be used for breast reduction, making it possible to decrease your breast size from a size F, E or D to a size B, for example. Only one breast can be reduced if the breasts are not of the same size.

The different techniques at a glance:

  • Lejour method: This procedure allows breast reduction with minimal incisions, often in combination with a breast lift. The incision is made around the nipple and vertically downwards to the inframammary fold. Excess skin is removed during the procedure.
  • T-incision: Here, the Lejour incision is extended by a horizontal incision below the vertical incision. The repositioning of the nipples may impair sensitivity and the ability to breastfeed. This breast reduction technique is used at AIVA in Berlin for larger breasts and in cases of severe ptosis (sagging breasts).
  • Hall-Findlay method: This method is suitable for different breast sizes and shapes. The nipples are moved together with a strand of glandular and fatty tissue, without separating nerves and blood vessels. This allows you to lose excess fat and breast volume without the risk of losing nipple sensitivity or the ability to breastfeed.

Your benefits after a breast reduction at AIVA in Berlin:

  • Reduced back and neck pain, improved quality of life
  • Increased self-confidence and positive body image
  • Greater freedom of movement, even when exercising
  • More flexibility in choosing bras and clothing
  • Reduced skin irritation under the breasts
  • TREATMENT

    Before the treatment

    1. Examination: We start by discussing your physical condition, any complaints and what you want to achieve. Your breasts will be examined in detail and you will have a mammogram to rule out any existing diseases, among other things. We can also show you before and after pictures to help you make your decision.
    2. Consultation: Before the breast reduction, your plastic and aesthetic surgeon at AIVA in Berlin will advise you of the possible risks and explain the different methods and costs. We will then inform you of the date of your operation and what you should bear in mind beforehand.


    The day of treatment

    1. Preparation & general anaesthetic: On arrival at our institute in Berlin, you will be prepared for the operation and informed again about the procedure. Under general anaesthesia, accompanied by an experienced anaesthetist, you will not be aware of the procedure.
    2. The operation: The incision method differs depending on the surgical procedure for the breast reduction:
    3. Lejour method: This near-scarless procedure is suitable if you have breasts that are not extremely large or saggy. A precise incision is made around the areola and then vertically down to the inframammary fold. Your specialist at AIVA in Berlin will then remove excess fat, glandular and skin tissue, reshape the breast and tighten the skin. The nipple is not moved.
    4. T-incision: For very large or severely sagging breasts, the Lejour incision is supplemented by an additional horizontal incision in the breast crease. This allows more excess tissue to be removed and the breast to be effectively reduced in size. The breast is then reshaped and the nipple is moved upwards. Sensitivity and the ability to breastfeed may be affected.
    5. Hall-Findlay method: In this modern technique, a central strand of fat and glandular tissue is formed after the circular incision around the nipple and the vertical incision in order to maintain the nerve supply and blood flow to the nipple even in the raised position. Sensitivity and the ability to breastfeed are maintained. After tissue removal and volume reduction, the breast is formed to the desired shape and the nipple is repositioned.
    6. Conclusion: After the breast reduction, the incisions are carefully sutured. The AIVA team in Berlin will look after you during the recovery phase.


    After the operation

    1. Short hospital stay: One night in hospital is recommended for observation and initial wound care. The breast may be swollen and tender for a few days.
    2. Aftercare & monitoring: You will wear a pressure bandage for the first few days after the operation, followed by a sports bra for four weeks. In the first few weeks after the breast reduction, regular check-ups at our clinic in Berlin are important. After the wound has healed, the stitches will be removed.
    3. Results: The swelling after the operation can last for several weeks or months. After about four to six months, you can look forward to the final result – smaller, firmer and tighter breasts.

Combining Treatments for a Harmonious Body Image

A breast reduction at AIVA Aesthetics in Berlin is just one way to optimise your breast region. Perhaps you are not dissatisfied with the size of your breasts, but with their sagging shape or loose skin? Then a breast lift can help you achieve the look you want. Breast augmentation can help to restore volume to sagging breasts.

Many patients also suffer from uneven breast size, which can be distressing when looking in the mirror, but also makes it difficult to buy bras and clothes. Both breasts can be made to look the same during breast reduction surgery.
