Procedures
Breast reduction — reduction mammoplasty — removes excess fat, skin, and part of the mammary gland. It restores breast proportions balanced with your figure and relieves neck, back, and shoulder pain.
About the procedure
Large breasts are often a genuine burden — on the back, neck, and shoulders, during sport, and when choosing clothes. Breast reduction removes excess fat, skin, and part of the mammary gland; the aim is breast proportions balanced with a woman's figure. The procedure also has a marked positive effect on psychological wellbeing.
The surgeon chooses the technique and course of the operation individually — according to the original breast size and the desired final result. The incision most often runs around the areola and then down to the fold beneath the breast; excess fat, skin, and part of the mammary gland are removed, and the areola is usually made smaller and placed in a new position.
The benefits are expected in overall physical and psychological wellbeing — and they also show in improved sporting performance and a freer choice of clothing sizes.
Before the procedure
A thorough consultation with the plastic surgeon comes first: they examine the breasts, discuss the size and shape you are aiming for, and explain the placement of the incisions, the course of the operation, the aftercare regimen, and the possible risks. The consultation is free and carries no obligation.
The procedure
The procedure is performed in an operating theatre under sterile conditions, under general anaesthesia. The operation takes 2–3 hours and involves an overnight stay at the clinic.
You sleep through the entire operation under general anaesthesia, in the care of an anaesthetist — you feel no pain during the procedure.
The incision most often runs around the areola and from there down to the fold beneath the breast. The exact placement is chosen individually — according to the original breast size and the desired result.
The surgeon removes excess fat, skin, and part of the mammary gland. The areola is usually made smaller as well and placed in a new position to match the shape and size of the breast.
At the end of the operation, the wounds are closed with fine stitches and covered with a sterile dressing.
After the operation you stay at the clinic in post-operative care for 1 day (overnight). The next day the surgeon changes the dressings and discharges you into home care.
Aftercare
Day 0–1
You spend the night after the operation at the clinic in post-operative care. The next day the surgeon changes the dressings and discharges you into home care.
Week 2
Swelling, bruising, and breast tenderness usually subside — you can return to work and to everyday activities.
Week 4
For the first 4 weeks, avoid sport, heavier physical exertion, and lifting heavy objects. Do not sleep on your stomach for at least 6 weeks.
Weeks 6–8
You keep wearing the elastic (sports) bra — it helps the breasts settle into their new shape and position.
Month 6
The final result may only show after 6 months, once the breasts have settled into their new position.
Follow-up check-ups are arranged individually with your surgeon. Healing varies from person to person — always pace your return to everyday activities according to your surgeon's advice.
Large breasts are not just an aesthetic matter — the back, neck, and shoulders carry them. Reduction brings them relief.
Pricing
The price is final and covers all costs associated with the operation, including 12% VAT.
The price includes general anaesthesia, the procedure itself, an overnight stay at the clinic, and follow-up check-ups. A no-obligation consultation beforehand is free.
These prices apply to procedures from 1 January 2027. If your procedure is booked for 2026, the price quoted when you booked still applies.
Full price list of all proceduresPossible complications
After the operation, expect swelling, bruising, and breast tenderness. These effects usually disappear within 2 weeks.
As with any operation, complications may rarely occur — a haematoma (a collection of blood), a seroma (a build-up of tissue fluid), infection, or impaired wound healing, most often where the scars beneath the breast meet. A small firm area of fatty tissue (fat necrosis) can rarely develop as well. The risk is reduced by a gentle surgical technique, the elastic bra, and following the aftercare regimen.
Breast reduction is performed under general anaesthesia, so the related pre-operative examinations are required. We will explain everything you need at your consultation.
To reduce excessive bleeding, do not take medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid — such as Acylpyrin, Aspirin, or Anopyrin — for approximately 2 weeks before the operation.

A week ago I had a breast lift and reduction and liposuction of my abdomen and hips. Dr. Novák operated on me. I am completely satisfied, the operation went perfectly and the doctor is incredibly kind, human, funny .. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
