Breast reduction – For more lightness and quality of life
Many women desire a well-shaped yet naturally proportioned bust.However, when the breasts are very large or heavy, this can lead to both physical and emotional discomfort. An oversized bust is difficult to conceal, limits clothing choices, and often causes back pain, neck tension, or poor posture.
If you find your breast size to be bothersome or painful, a surgical breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) in Leipzig may offer a long-lasting solution. During this procedure, excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin are removed to reduce the breast volume and create an aesthetically pleasing shape. In many cases, the surgery is combined with a breast lift to achieve a more youthful and balanced contour.
At our clinic in Leipzig, Dr. Christian Graß takes the time to provide detailed, personalized consultations and planning. With years of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, he delivers natural-looking results using gentle, scar-conscious techniques—always tailored to your body and your individual goals.
Discover how breast reduction can restore your quality of life—we would be happy to advise you personally at our clinic in Leipzig.
When is breast reduction advisable?
Breast reduction is recommended when overly large breasts cause functional discomfort or are perceived as aesthetically unattractive. Common reasons for this procedure include:
-
Back pain, neck tension or posture problems
-
Cutting bra straps or skin irritation in the under-breast fold
-
Restrictions on sporting activity
-
Problems with choosing clothes
-
a subjectively perceived imbalance between body shape and breast volume
Psychological stress caused by looks or comments in everyday life also plays a role for many patients in their decision to have a breast reduction.
Advantages of breast reduction
A professionally performed breast reduction has many benefits – both physical and mental:
-
Relief from pain and tension
-
Better body awareness and more self-confident appearance
-
More harmonious body proportions
-
Improved posture and mobility
-
Larger selection of clothing and underwear
-
Natural, aesthetic result
Thanks to modern surgical techniques, your breasts will be individually reshaped—adapted to your body shape and with as little visible scarring as possible. In many cases, the nipple will also be repositioned to achieve a harmonious overall appearance.

Before the operation - Personal consultation & planning
Before the procedure, we welcome you to our practice in Leipzig for a detailed consultation. Dr. Graß will take the time to understand your symptoms and expectations and work with you to develop a customized surgical strategy. Your body proportions, tissue condition, and your desired outcomes play a key role.
Important: Two weeks before surgery, blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin) should be discontinued in consultation with your doctor. Nicotine consumption should also be avoided if possible to promote wound healing.
The operation
Breast reduction usually takes 2 to 3 hours and is performed under general Anesthesia – usually with a short hospital stay.
The incision placement depends on the breast size and skin texture. In most cases, the following incisions are made:
-
An incision around the areola (later barely visible)
-
A vertical cut from there to the inframammary fold
-
If necessary, a horizontal cut in the fold
Dr. Graß removes excess glandular and fatty tissue, as well as stretched skin. The nipple is repositioned upwards if necessary and reshaped to an anatomically correct position. The remaining tissue is then reshaped, the wound edges are carefully sutured, and the breast is stabilized with a supportive bandage.
Aftercare – Healing & Results
After the procedure, you will stay overnight in the clinic for observation. The following day, you will have an initial check-up, after which you can return home.
For approximately 4–6 weeks, you should avoid physical exertion and consistently wear a special support bra. Sports, heavy work, or raising your arms above shoulder height are taboo during this time. Saunas, tanning beds, and direct sunlight should also be avoided to support scar healing.
We'll be there to support you during aftercare, including tips on scar care, pain management, and everyday behavior. The stitches usually dissolve on their own or are removed during a follow-up examination.
Risks of breast reduction
As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction surgery carries certain risks. These include:
-
Postoperative bleeding or bruising
-
Wound healing disorders
-
Infections
-
Temporary numbness of the nipple
-
Asymmetries or scarring
Thanks to many years of surgical experience and strict hygiene protocols, we keep these risks as low as possible in our Leipzig practice. If you have any questions or concerns after the surgery, we are available to assist you at any time.
