In most cases reduction mammoplasty already includes elements of a breast lift. During the surgery a new breast contour is formed and the areola is repositioned. This helps achieve a more aesthetic and harmonious breast shape.

Reduction Mammoplasty (Breast Reduction without Implants)
Reduction mammoplasty allows breast volume to be decreased, improves breast shape, and helps reduce physical discomfort associated with excessively large breasts.
Reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at decreasing breast size by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. The operation helps create a more proportional breast shape, reduces strain on the back and shoulders, and improves the overall balance of the body. The procedure is performed without the use of implants and focuses on achieving a natural breast contour.
About the service
Reduction mammoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the volume of the breasts. During the surgery, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, after which a new and more compact breast shape is formed.
The procedure is not performed only for aesthetic reasons. In many cases excessively large breasts may cause physical discomfort, including pain in the back, neck, or shoulders.
Reduction mammoplasty helps decrease the load on the musculoskeletal system and may significantly improve a patient’s comfort and quality of life.
Indications for reduction mammoplasty
Breast reduction surgery may be recommended for both aesthetic and medical reasons.
The most common indications:
• excessively large breast size
• back, neck, or shoulder pain
• skin irritation under the breasts
• limitations in physical activity
• discomfort in daily life
During the consultation, the doctor evaluates tissue condition, breast shape, and determines the optimal amount of correction.
How the surgery is performed
Reduction mammoplasty is performed in an operating room under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin.
After this, a new breast contour is formed and the areola is repositioned to achieve a more natural placement. As a result, the breasts become smaller, lighter, and more proportional to the body.
The duration of the procedure depends on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed and the individual characteristics of the patient.
Individual approach and surgical planning
Before the surgery, a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon is performed. The doctor evaluates anatomical features, skin condition, and the degree of tissue sagging.
Careful surgical planning helps determine the optimal reduction volume and the desired breast shape. Modern techniques allow surgeons to combine breast reduction with reshaping procedures to achieve a balanced and natural result.
Indications for reduction mammoplasty
Reduction mammoplasty is performed when excessively large breasts cause physical discomfort. The procedure may be recommended in cases of back, neck, or shoulder pain, as well as limitations in physical activity. In some cases the surgery is also performed to improve body proportions. The final decision about surgery is made after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
Contraindications for reduction mammoplasty
Contraindications may include acute infectious diseases, blood clotting disorders, or severe chronic conditions. The surgery is also not performed during pregnancy or when active inflammatory processes are present in the treatment area. Before the procedure, the patient undergoes a medical examination to assess possible risks.
Preparation for reduction mammoplasty
Preparation for surgery includes a consultation with a plastic surgeon and the necessary examinations. The patient may be advised to undergo laboratory tests, ultrasound examinations, or other diagnostic procedures. Some time before surgery the doctor may recommend limiting smoking and avoiding certain medications. Following these recommendations helps prepare the body for surgery.
Recovery after reduction mammoplasty
After the procedure, patients are advised to wear special compression garments and limit physical activity. During the first days swelling or mild discomfort may occur. These symptoms gradually decrease as healing progresses. The final result of the surgery develops over several months.

Frequently asked questions about reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction without implants)
Mammoplasty
How much the breasts can be reduced
The amount of reduction is determined individually during surgical planning. The surgeon considers the patient’s anatomy, tissue condition, and desired outcome. The main goal is to achieve balanced and natural-looking proportions.
Will there be scars after the surgery
Since reduction mammoplasty involves surgical incisions, scar formation is a natural part of the healing process. However, incisions are carefully planned so that scars remain as discreet as possible. Over time scars usually become lighter and less noticeable.
Does the surgery affect sensitivity
In some cases sensitivity in the breast or areola area may temporarily change after surgery. This is related to the healing process of the tissues. Sensitivity usually gradually returns as recovery progresses.
When it is possible to return to an active lifestyle
Returning to normal activities occurs gradually. The doctor provides recommendations regarding physical activity and temporary restrictions during the recovery period. Full recovery may take several weeks.
Can breast shape change over time
Over time breast shape may change due to natural aging processes, weight fluctuations, or hormonal factors. However, the results of reduction mammoplasty usually remain stable for many years. Following medical recommendations helps maintain the achieved result.
