Because oversized breasts can not only lead to physical discomfort such as postural disorders, tension in the shoulder and head area and headaches or limit the affected in their sporting activity, but also represent a strong mental stress.

Surgical techniques for breast reduction
Surgical techniques
For the procedure of breast reduction in our Mainz FONTANA KLINIK different starting situations require different cutting techniques:
- a vertical cut around the nipple (“keyhole pattern”)
- a cut around the nipple, which runs vertically downwards with an additional short cut in the breast fold (“L-shaped”)
- a cut around the nipple, which runs vertically downwards with another cut throughout the course of the breast fold (“T-shaped”)
Individual cut
Of course, what kind of cut management is the right choice for you? Dr. Niermann and his colleagues, after a detailed investigation, will explain in detail. The incision is dependent on individual factors such as size and volume of the breast, width of the breast base and skin condition. Your treating physician will always choose the incision so that any scars that develop are small and inconspicuous.
During the procedure, excess glandular and fatty tissue in the lower chest area is removed, then the nipple displaced upwards and possibly reduced in size. In some cases, breast reduction is associated with chest liposuction to improve the outcome in a very wide breast.
