All 34 Clinics that provide Breast Reduction in Czech Republic

Oversized breasts can be the cause of other physical and psyhcological problems, including lower back pains and worries about your general appearance. Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is designed to reduce the size of your breasts in order to allieviate these problems.

Breast reduction surgery can also be performed on individual breasts in the case where there is some asymmetry between the two breasts.

Length

The procedure can last up to four hours.

Procedure

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and involves repositioning the nipple and its surrounding tissue and removing excess fat cells from the lower breast and underarm area. The goal is to achieve a natural shape to the breast and retain as much sensation and function as possible.

Recovery

You will be required to stay for between 1 and 3 days, and stitches are usually removed between 1 and 2 weeks later. Typically you are required to rest for between 2 and 6 weeks after the operation.

Risks

There can be significant scarring depending on the quality of the surgical stitching, and there can be up to three different scars per breast depending on the exact procedure required. There can be excess skin left after the breast reduction itself which can require another operation later on to remedy. There is also the risk of loss of sensation and function in the nipple itself.

A guide to plastic surgery regulations in the Czech Republic

The Ministry of Health is responsible for the health policies of the Czech Republic. It oversees a number of institutions such as the Institute of Health Information and Statistics and the Drug and Technology Control Institute.

Registration of physicans is handled by the Czech Medical Chamber, which is independant of government. The Chamber publishes the ethical code that physicians in the Czech Republic must abide by, the code is enforced by the Disiplinary Council. The Chamber is also responsible for registering recognized surgical specialists such as plastic surgeons.

Plastic surgeons must belong to the Society for Plastic Surgery (Společnost plastická chirurgie). The society is currently reorganizing its membership structure, allowing full membership only to specialists in Plastic Surgery: At present the society is open to surgeons in related fields such as Otolaryngology. Once membership is restructured the Society plans to list its membership online.

The Czech Society for Aesthetic Surgery is a younger organization whose membership is focused on cosmetic surgeons. The society has an online list of its members, all of whom are full plastic surgeons.
