Thus, I focus my attention very specifically on the location of the removed tissue. This has a very serious background, which unfortunately not every plastic surgeon pays attention to: Breast cancer affects about one in eight women in Europe. When the cancer occurs, in about 75 percent of the cases it is found at the top outside or at the top inside of the breast. Therefore, during breast reduction, I specifically remove this &#8220;more endangered&#8221; breast tissue and not the &#8220;healthiest&#8221; tissue at the bottom or in the middle of the breast.<\/p><p>I perform breast reduction in the hospital and under general anesthesia. I fix the remaining breast tissue to the chest wall with sutures, forming an inner bra. With this technique, the &#8220;d\u00e9collet\u00e9 can be excellently refilled&#8221;. The skin is appropriately tightened and well sutured. Existing inequalities can be largely evened out, although perfect symmetry does not occur in nature. Drains ensure that the wound water can drain off after the breast reduction.<\/p><h3>What to consider after breast reduction?<\/h3><p>After the breast reduction, a firm elastic bandage is applied, which is exchanged for a tight-fitting bra (sports bra) after two days. After breast reduction, the breast is &#8220;over tightened&#8221; as in breast lift, because the tissue is still yielding and the final shape can be seen only after about six weeks. In some cases there is bruising or numbness, but this usually disappears completely.<\/p><p>The sports bra should be worn for about six weeks after breast reduction. Smoking, sports, sauna visits and strong sunlight should be avoided during this time, otherwise healing problems may occur. The ability to breastfeed is not changed by this surgical technique. After two to three weeks, patients are fully fit for work again. The <strong>costs<\/strong> are covered by health insurance, if at all, in cases where at least 500 g of tissue per breast are removed.<\/p><h3>Breast reduction in Zurich &#8211; with your expert for plastic surgery<\/h3><p>Are you interested in <strong>breast reduction in Zurich<\/strong>?
