What is a breast reduction?
Together with the breast lift, a breast reduction is one of the most common breast operations in the Netherlands. Breasts develop during puberty. Their size and shape are often determined by genetic predisposition. Many women struggle with the shape of their breasts, which can be affected by, for example, gaining or losing weight, pregnancy and the condition of the skin and breast tissue. Our specialised doctors will gladly help you to achieve the desired results.
Breasts can easily start to hang when the skin loses its elasticity. Women often consider having a breast reduction done when they frequently suffer neck, shoulder and back problems. Also, from an aesthetic point of view, one can be unhappy with breasts that are too large. A breast reduction operation can help to reduce these problems and can bring the size of the breasts more into proportion with the shape of the body. A breast reduction will also help you to feel better about your breasts again.
