Big and heavy breasts?

I will help you to get a smaller cup size that fits your body

A breast reduction is often also a breast lift. Your breasts will be reshaped to fit your body better. Your breasts will no longer be a source of physical discomfort. A smaller cup size can make a big difference.

You can have a breast reduction at any age. Once your breasts are fully grown, a breast reduction is possible. As a rule, this is from the age of 18. A breast reduction removes excess fat, glandular and skin tissue.

Because the shape of your breasts will change, your nipples also have to be moved. I will try to make scars as invisible as possible. It is also possible to make your areolas smaller.

 

“My breasts did not match my body. They were too big, too heavy and sometimes really painful. I was also ashamed. Exercising was not pleasant for me, but now it is.”

 

Astrid (32 years old)

Frequently asked Questions

Do I have to worry about ugly scars?

A breast reduction causes scars. Not all scars will be in the crease of your breast. Making the scars invisible as much as possible is a very important part of the treatment.

Does the insurance reimburse this procedure?

If you have had the breast reduction done for cosmetic reasons, this operation will not be reimbursed. If you have done the reduction to get rid of your back pain and neck pain, you may be reimbursed. Ask your insurance company. Often the requirement is a cup size DD or larger and a period of posture therapy (physiotherapy, Mensendieck or Caesar therapy) that has not helped or only temporarily.

Is breast reduction painful?

The procedure takes place under anesthesia, so you will not feel anything. In the period after the breast reduction, you may have to deal with sensitive and sometimes painful breasts. You will therefore have to use painkillers.

When can I get back to work?

Most of the time you can return to work after two weeks. Allow a period of one and a half months to two months before you can start exercising again and do heavy physical work. During this period, you should also wear a sturdy sports bra day and night.

Doctor Xander R. Bakker

I am an experienced plastic surgeon, specialized in cosmetic surgery. I have been working as a plastic surgeon since 2005. For a long time, I have been working as an all-round plastic surgeon in several leading hospitals. Therefore, I have gained a lot of experience. Plastic surgery of the face has always had my special attention.

My work requires a personal and tailor-made approach. This is what makes my work so fascinating. Every time I ask myself: ‘Will I be able to bring a change, which makes the patient happier?’ It is always great when this is possible, but sometimes it also means saying ‘no’.

I focus completely on aesthetic plastic surgery. My areas of interest are the face, breast corrections, liposuction and lipofilling of the face and body. By attending many international conferences and courses I stay up-to-date. This way you can be assured that I always deliver state-of-the-art work.
