Breast reduction means the surgical tightening of skin and fatty tissue to form a raised and firmer breast. In technical terms, the procedure is also called mastopexia.<\/p>\n
The specialist removes excess skin tissue, remodels the breast and positions the nipple anatomically correctly upwards. This creates a naturally proportioned breast that fits your figure better. At the Bodenseeklinik in Lindau, we regularly carry out this tightening \u2013 using modern cutting techniques such as the T-section (Inverted-T) depending on the initial findings and desired result.

The T technique is superior to the Lejour technique in the possibility of aesthetic design.<\/pee> Depending on an additional loss of volume, the breast lift can also be combined with the insert of a breast implant.<\/pee>Each breast lift is individually planned \u2013 with the aim of achieving a natural, aesthetic and permanently stable result.<\/pee><\/div>\nRead more<\/span>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”heading_class checkmrk_list one_side_hightedbox ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nAdvantages of a breast lift<\/h3>\n

Breast lift surgical methods and cutting techniques<\/h3>\n
The choice and extent of the appropriate method \/ surgical technique depend on the size of the breast, the tissue, the connective tissue with elasticity, the skin quality with tension and the individual specifications of the patient. At the Bodenseeklinik, our experienced specialists\/specialists use the T-cut technique or the O-cut technique for small breast corrections:[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code module_class=”checkmrk_list” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n- T-section (Pitanguy method): classic technique in heavily hanging breasts, combining vertical and horizontal cut in the lower breast fold with a cut around the nipple.<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- O-section (periareolary method): annular tightening around the wart court, usually with small corrections<\/li>\n
<\/ul>\n
In all breast lift techniques, the nipple is reduced. In the T-technique, the nipple together with nerves and blood vessels is moved upwards ("lifting") on its tissue substrate in order to maintain sensitivity and lactation as best as possible. The nipple is not separated and retransplanted. Excess skin tissue and, if necessary, Breast tissue is removed, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped and stably fixed and closed. The duration of the process is between 1 and 3 hours. <\/pee>Which breast lift procedure is suitable for our patients and the possibilities of the respective breast surgery Our surgeons discuss with you in the consultation appointment.

Breast lift \/ Mastopexia \u2013 Difference to breast reduction \/ Breast reduction<\/h3>\n
As part of a tightening of the breast, usually only skin in the breast area is removed. Mammary gland tissue is not removed during a breast lift. The breast volume is maintained by the redistribution of the existing fatty tissue. [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code module_class=”checkmrk_list” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
By removing excess skin coat, the breast can become slightly smaller. If due to a previous weight loss or pregnancy, as well as lactation, the breast hangs, the cleavage of the breast is emptier, the simultaneous insertion of breast implants \/ breast augmentation in the course of breast lifting may become necessary.<\/pee><\/div>\nRead more<\/span>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_class=”mobile_flex_reverse” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/bodensee.ak86.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bruststraffung-Brustverkleinerung-img.jpg” alt=”What is Lipofilling of the Lips?” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”img_shine custom_image_radius_class” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”heading_class mb1rem” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nBreast lift with breast implants<\/h2>\n
Breast lift is also possible in a combination procedure with breast enlargement. At the beginning of the operation, a breast implant is inserted into the breast according to the analysis and discussion before the operation. This causes the breast to lack volume. It is replenished and adjusted to the size before pregnancy or weight loss. In a second step of the method, the excess skin is removed over the inserted breast implant. At the end of the tightening of the chest, it is firmer, fuller and higher.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The duration of the op is 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.

A breast lift with simultaneous lipofilling is not recommended in contrast to a breast lift with breast implants due to risks and complications. We perform a lipofilling of the breast on request in a separate second operation if necessary, if breast implants are not desired.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ module_class=”custom_accrodian_sec ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”The procedure of the operation” admin_label=”Toggle 1″ module_class=”custom_faqtype_toggle checkmrk_list ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]The breast lift is usually stationary and in general anesthesia. The procedure lasts about three hours. After surgery, the breast is stabilized with a special bra or support bra to promote healing. Drainages provide drainage of wound secretions. Already the day after the operation, our patients are mobile. In the first few weeks after the procedure, you should avoid physical stress and wear the special bra around the clock. After about three to four weeks, sporting activity is possible again. The final result of the breast lift shows up after about six months.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Costs and reimbursement” admin_label=”Toggle 1″ module_class=”custom_faqtype_toggle checkmrk_list ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]The cost of a breast lift varies depending on the method, extent of tightening, individual findings, hospital stay and other materials. In the Bodenseeklinik you will receive a transparent cost estimate after the consultation. In some cases, the health insurance covers part or the entire cost of a breast lift. Purely aesthetic motivation is a self-paying performance. The price\/cost of a breast lift is 4000\u20ac additional incidental costs.

The scars fade within a few months and adapt to the surrounding tissue. The nipples can be temporarily sensitive or slightly deaf \u2013 the sensation normalizes in the course of healing. The Bodenseeklinik accompanies its patients during the entire follow-up phase after tightening. Regular checks ensure that the result is optimal and that you are satisfied in the long term.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Risks of breast lift” admin_label=”Toggle 1″ module_class=”custom_faqtype_toggle” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Like any surgical procedure, breast lifts carry certain risks.

Result and follow-up checks after breast lift<\/h2>\n
The final result of a breast lift can be assessed after about six months. After-checks we recommend to remove the thread knots and mini-tapes after 3 weeks. At this appointment, we discuss scar care with our patients. As part of the further treatment period, we see our patients again after 6 months and after 1 year. <\/p>\n
After healing after breast lifting, the breast then acts naturally, tightly and harmoniously. Weight fluctuations, pregnancy or the natural aging process can change shape over the years \u2013 A renewed breast lift is possible in principle.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code module_class=”checkmrk_list” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
