The procedure leaves scars, the length of those depends on the degree of hypertrophy and ptosis. The scar is usually in the form of an inverted “T”, “L” or “I”. Of course, plastic surgeons try their best to minimize scarring as much as possible and monitor the patient after the operation to make sure that the scars are healing properly. Once the breasts take on a symmetrical curve the scars with being subjected to personalized care. Dermopigmentation allows the visible scars to be reduced, particularly around the areola.
The outcome of the breast reduction surgery is better if the wound is restrained i.e. if the texture of the patient’s tissue is satisfactory and the care regime is perfectly followed.

Should you get a breast reduction surgery?
Some women face some serious problems on account of having very large breasts whether this is due to the genetic predisposition, hormonal changes or after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is a real both every-day and health complication as they often suffer from headaches and neck/backaches. Breast reduction is a procedure for surgically reshaping exceptionally large breasts to increase comfort and satisfaction. Large breasts can dominate a woman’s appearance and give an unbalanced physical profile. Breast uplift with reduction surgery can reduce breast size and make them look better and firmer.
How to get ready for your breast reduction surgery in the Czech Republic?
Make sure you will get time off work when you need to travel to the Czech Republic(depending on the operation and the nature of your job). You will need support and help from the family and friends in the recovery period (avoiding physically demanding jobs, important social events, etc.); if needed (and possible), arranging for children care. No acute illnesses should occur in the period of at least three weeks before the planned breast reduction operation (a viral disease, a cold, etc.). If so, it is necessary to inform us. Get a baseline mammogram before breast reduction surgery and perhaps the one after surgery to help detect any future changes in your breast tissue.
One week before the surgery, do not take any medications containing acetylsalicylic acid (such as Acylpyrin, Aspirin, Alnagon, Miron, etc.). It might increase bleeding during and after breast reduction surgery. Ideally, one month (minimum two weeks) before the procedure women should stop taking hormonal contraception or replacement to prevent thromboembolism. Consult your GP or your surgeon in Prague regarding other medications you take regularly. Bring your usual medicine and pills, if possible in the original packaging. It is recommended to stop or considerably reduce smoking two weeks before the operation. If you are a smoker, don’t forget to bring nicotine patches with you. Breast reduction surgery requires the use of an elastic bra after the procedure. You can either bring your own, or you can buy them at the clinic. We recommend buying them after the consultation with your surgeon who will try the elastic garments on and decide which size and type are suitable for you.
Ideally, women should not have their period when operated. If they do, they need to inform their doctor.
