Breast reduction, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and weight of the breast. Many women opt for this operation to alleviate complaints such as back or neck pain, skin irritation or restrictions on certain activities. Of course, an improvement in breast aesthetics is also relevant for the women affected. By removing excess skin, fat and glandular tissue, a breast shape and size proportional to the body is achieved.
Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon removes excess tissue and tightens the remaining breast, primarily to achieve a smaller volume but also a harmonious shape. In addition, the nipple is always lifted or repositioned. In this way, an aesthetically pleasing result can be achieved. The operation takes about 3 hours, depending on the initial volume.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks and possible complications with breast reduction. These can include temporary swelling, bruising, infection, irregular scarring and asymmetry. It is important that you receive thorough and individual advice from the surgeon before the operation and that all your questions are clarified.
After the operation, you should take it easy for a few days and follow your surgeon's instructions to support the healing process and achieve the best possible result.

(Initial consultation to the value of CHF 150 will be credited when a procedure is carried out)
If you are not sure which aesthetic treatments are best suited to your individual needs, we recommend a no-obligation consultation with one of our dermatologists. The consultation costs CHF 100 and takes about 20 minutes. This amount will be deducted from the cost of your aesthetic treatment. The consultation costs and aesthetic services must be paid directly on site after the procedure. In order to be able to assess your facial skin in the best possible way, please come to the aesthetic consultation without make-up.
The following payment conditions apply to so-called self-pay services, which are not covered by TARMED and are therefore not covered by health insurance: 30 days total amount, or the option to make partial payments of your choice with attractive interest rates (minimum payment 5% of the outstanding amount per month). In case of insufficient creditworthiness, no invoice can be issued and the amount is due immediately after the treatment on site. If necessary, creditworthiness can be clarified in advance.
Appointments that have already been made can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. Please inform us by phone, email, Whatsapp or a voice message on the answering machine. To cancel an appointment booked online, use the cancel button in the confirmation email. If an appointment is canceled less than 24 hours before the appointment or not canceled at all (no-show), the patient is liable for compensation. If a treatment can no longer be carried out due to a patient delay, the obligation to pay compensation also applies.
