Breast reduction Frankfurt

Breast reduction (mammary reduction) with Dr. Nichlos in Frankfurt: For beautiful breasts that make you feel good again!

The media likes to portray ample breasts as attractive and a sign of femininity. For women, however, they are often a physical and psychological burden and cause complaints such as posture problems and back pain. Things like sport or doing physical work become a torture due to voluminous breasts and are often associated with pain. Added to this are unpleasant looks and comments and the futile search for well-fitting clothing. Many affected women therefore wish to reduce their bust size.

In order to reduce the volume of the breast and give it a beautiful and appealing appearance, a surgical breast reduction (mammary reduction) is an option. During the procedure, the breast tissue is surgically reduced, the breast is tightened and reshaped into a feminine, round form.

In our practice for plastic and aesthetic surgery in Frankfurt, reduction surgery is one of the most common procedures. Dr. Nichlos attaches great importance to aesthetics and sculpts your new breasts so that they harmonize perfectly with your body. Make an appointment for a consultation right away!

What is a breast reduction?

In breast surgery, breast reduction is used to surgically reduce a very voluminous bust and reshape the breast in the process. The reason for this is not so much the appearance, but rather physical and psychological problems caused by the weight or size of the breasts.

As part of the operation, excess glandular and skin tissue is removed and the breast is then reshaped into the shape you desire. The aim of this procedure is to achieve smaller and lighter breasts that no longer cause discomfort and make you feel good about your body again.

What methods are available for breast reduction?

In plastic and aesthetic surgery, there are various surgical techniques and incision techniques that can be used for breast reduction (mammary reduction). Which of these is used in each individual case depends, among other things, on the extent of the desired breast reduction.

What are the reasons for a breast reduction?

Women come to our practice seeking breast reduction for a variety of reasons. Many have been suffering from their ample bust size for years, are in pain or are confronted daily with stares and offensive remarks, so that they avoid certain situations.

Below you will find an overview of the most common reasons for a breast reduction:

Breast reduction in Frankfurt

What happens before breast reduction?

Before your breast reduction in Frankfurt, you will first come to our practice for a thorough medical history and breast examination. You will then meet with Dr. Nichlos for a personal consultation. In a relaxed atmosphere, you can explain to the plastic surgeon your reasons for wanting a breast reduction and describe in detail what the ideal end result or your dream breast looks like for you.

During the consultation, Dr. Nichlos will explain to you which surgical options are available for your specific case. Once the best surgical technique for you has been found, he will explain the exact procedure and what you need to pay attention to before and after in order to achieve the best possible result. For example, it is important that you maintain your desired weight for some time before the operation. Significant fluctuations in weight after the procedure can affect the results of the operation.

The costs are also discussed during the consultation. Due to the very individual circumstances, it is usually not possible to give a fixed amount. We will therefore provide you with a detailed cost estimate following the consultation. You can use this to check whether the costs will be covered by your (private) health insurance.

Important: Smoking (including e-cigarettes) increases the risk of complications such as circulatory or wound healing disorders. You should therefore stop smoking or at least refrain from smoking for 2 weeks before and 3 weeks after the operation.

How does the operation work?

The operation takes about 2-3 hours and is performed by us at the Berger Clinic in Frankfurt am Main under general anesthesia. After the anaesthetist has induced anaesthesia and the surgical area has been thoroughly disinfected, Dr. Nichlos first makes the necessary incisions and then removes the appropriate amount of breast tissue and glandular tissue, depending on the initial size and the desired final size. This is usually 200 to 1,500 grams per side of the breast.

The specialist will then tighten the skin and reshape the breast according to your wishes. The nipples often also need to be reduced and/or repositioned. In some cases, it is necessary to suction out excess fat to give the breast the desired shape.

Good to know: Suture removal is no longer necessary due to the self-dissolving sutures. We also only use drains in individual cases.

Immediately after the reduction, the breast is initially still swollen. It takes some time for these swellings caused by the operation to subside. Experience has shown that the final result is visible after about 3-6 months. To support the healing process, we ask you to attend your check-up appointments with us and to follow our aftercare instructions.

What happens after breast reduction?

In the first week after the operation, you should definitely allow yourself plenty of rest and take it easy physically. After 5 to 7 days, most of our patients are able to socialize again, and after 1-2 weeks (depending on the type of professional activity) they are also able to work again.

It is important for a good healing process that you do not lift anything heavy for the first 4-6 weeks and wear a compression bra. During this time, you should also refrain from sport and physical exertion so that the result can stabilize. Experience has shown that it is also advisable to sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated for the first few weeks after reduction surgery.

The initially visible scars from the operation will fade over time, which you can actively support with good scar care. We will be happy to give you further tips and information on how you can further reduce the visibility of the scars as part of your aftercare.

What risks and complications are associated with a breast reduction?

Like any operation, breast reduction surgery is associated with certain risks and can cause complications. These include bleeding or post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders and infections. However, these risks can be reduced to a minimum by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Nichlos and adhering to strict hygiene standards.

Breast reduction surgery may also result in a loss or reduction of nipple sensitivity. Initially, swelling and bruising may occur in the surgical area. In some cases, there may also be a feeling of tightness, but this will subside after a while.

During your pre-operative consultation, Dr. Nichlos will inform you about the risks and possible complications from anesthesia to surgery.

  • Zunächst wird eine spezielle Tumeszenzlösung in das Fettgewebe eingebracht. Diese dient dazu, das Gewebe schonend vorzubereiten, Blutgefäße zu verengen und die Fettabsaugung kontrollierter und gleichmäßiger durchführen zu können. Gleichzeitig erleichtert sie das Lösen der Fettzellen aus dem umliegenden Gewebe.

Im nächsten Schritt erfolgt die eigentliche Liposuktion. Dabei wird das Fett gezielt und präzise abgesaugt, um die Körperkonturen zu definieren und harmonische Übergänge zu schaffen. Die Technik und Tiefe werden individuell an Region, Fettverteilung und Hautbeschaffenheit angepasst.

Ergänzend kommt eine Laserstraffung zum Einsatz. Der Laser wird genutzt, um die behandelten Areale zusätzlich zu unterstützen und die Hautstruktur im Anschluss an die Liposuktion zu verbessern 🔬

Wie bei jeder Behandlung steht eine individuelle Planung im Vordergrund – abgestimmt auf Anatomie, Ausgangssituation und medizinische Voraussetzungen.

  • Lipödem ist eine Erkrankung, über die sich viele Mythen halten.
Einer der häufigsten: dass Lipödem gewichtsabhängig sei oder durch Ernährung „verschwindet“.
Tatsächlich handelt es sich um eine eigenständige, chronische Erkrankung des Fettgewebes, die nichts mit fehlender Disziplin zu tun hat. Genau deshalb ist Aufklärung so wichtig.

  • Bei dieser Behandlung wurde eine Rücken-Liposuktion mit der gezielten Auffüllung der Hip Dips durch Eigenfett kombiniert ✨

Im ersten Schritt erfolgt eine genaue Analyse der Rückenregion: Fettverteilung, Hautqualität und Übergänge zur Hüfte spielen eine entscheidende Rolle. Ziel ist eine gleichmäßige, natürliche Kontur ohne harte Kanten.

Das entnommene Fett wird anschließend sorgfältig aufbereitet, damit ausschließlich geeignetes Eigenfett für den Transfer verwendet wird. Für die Hip Dips wird das Fett schichtweise eingebracht, um die seitliche Hüftlinie sanft zu harmonisieren und Volumendefizite auszugleichen.

Ergänzend wurde der Rücken mit dem Leonardo Laser behandelt @lipolas_laserlift_dach @lipolas_laserlift Diese Laserstraffung kann die Hautstruktur unterstützen und das Konturergebnis zusätzlich verfeinern.

Jede Kombination aus Liposuktion, Eigenfetttransfer und Laserbehandlung wird individuell geplant und medizinisch abgestimmt.

Natürlich versuche ich nicht absichtlich beschäftigt zu wirken – aber Medizin ist nun mal kein Job, bei dem man einfach auf „Pause“ drückt. Zwischen OP, Gesprächen, Planung und Verantwortung gehört volle Konzentration einfach dazu.

In diesem Fall wurde eine Brustverkleinerung durchgeführt, weil die Patientin unter einer sehr ausgeprägten Brustform gelitten hat, die körperliche Beschwerden verursacht hat.
