The steps of a breast reduction

During the consultation you will speak to the medical consultant and the plastic surgeon. The medical consultant will first provide you with information about the treatment, the pre- and aftercare. She will be your personal point of contact during the entire treatment process. The actual consultation follows with the plastic surgeon.

At SB Esthetic Surgery you always see the doctor who will treat you later.You discuss your wishes and expectations together.

During the consultation, the doctor will discuss the various treatment options with you.Whatever you choose, you are assured of the very best care at SB Esthetic Surgery.In most cases, the health insurer reimburses a breast reduction.However, there are rules attached to this .You may be eligible for reimbursement if you suffer from back, neck or shoulder complaints or if you suffer from chronic blemishes under the breasts.Your BMI also plays a role.The doctor can assess whether you are eligible for reimbursement.

Before the treatment, we take photos for your medical file. A breast reduction is performed under anaesthetic. SB Esthetic Surgery uses special anesthetics that prevent you from feeling nauseous when you wake up.The surgeon reduces the size of the breasts by removing skin and glandular tissue at the bottom. To give the breasts a natural shape, a dart comes down from the areola. Often the nipple is also moved upwards. A breast reduction therefore always leaves scars: around the areola, from the nipple straight down and under the breast (the so-called anchor shape).
