Capio Privathospital's departments offer several types of breast reduction and breast lift procedures performed by plastic surgery specialists. We have extensive experience in creating natural results that give our patients increased well-being and satisfaction with the appearance and position of their breasts.

Many women are happy with the size of their breasts, but are unhappy that their breasts have started to sag or have lost their firmness. In these cases, a breast lift, which removes the excess skin, can give the breasts a natural lift that many women are happy with.
Conversely, some women are either physically or cosmetically bothered by large breasts. In these cases, we offer a breast reduction procedure that reduces the size of the breasts and gives them a lift, which together will alleviate the woman's discomfort. We can also help you with nipple retraction, nipple reduction and surgery for male breast formation, also known as gynecomastia. You can read more about gynecomastia on this page.
If your surgery is to take place for purely cosmetic reasons, you are always guaranteed at least one week of reflection time from the initial consultation to any surgery. This is the best way for us to ensure that you make a well-considered and informed decision. Among other things, it is important that we discuss the expected outcome so that you feel comfortable making the decision to have surgery. We recommend that you contact your local branch to learn more about your options.
Small breast lift: In a small breast lift, the surgeon only removes skin around the nipple. Therefore, you will only have scars around the nipple.
Intermediate breast lift: With an intermediate breast lift, you will have a scar around the nipple and vertically down from the nipple.
Large breast lift: With a large breast lift, you will have a scar in between the breast lift and in the furrow under the breast - a so-called anchor-shaped incision. Even a large breast lift does not add fullness to the top of the breast.
"Reduction-augmentation" - breast lift and implant: With reduction-augmentation, you get a scar similar to the large breast lift. However, the lower, heavy part of the breast tissue is removed (reduction), while upper fullness is added using implants (augmentation).
Extended breast lift: If you want a breast lift and fullness at the very top of the breast, but want to avoid implants, Capio offers something special: an extended breast lift. With the extended breast lift, you get a scar like the large breast lift, but instead of an implant, your own breast tissue is used to create fullness. The plastic surgeon sews the mammary gland onto the chest, reinforces/repairs the furrow under the breast and reshapes the shape of the breast to make it more perky.
Precautions before surgery
There are a number of precautions that are important to take before considering a breast lift or reduction.
At least one week must pass from the preliminary examination to the surgery if the procedure is considered purely cosmetic.
Asymmetry
The treatment always aims to create a natural result. Many women have naturally asymmetrical breasts and the aim during surgery is to achieve as much symmetry as possible. Despite this, there is a risk that complete symmetry may not be achieved. However, it is rare that such asymmetry requires subsequent correction.
The course of the surgery
The surgery lasts 2-3 hours. Immediately before surgery, the plastic surgeon will mark the new location of the nipple and incisions and thus the location of the scars. During the surgery, the surgeon removes excess skin and, in some cases, mammary gland tissue. If there is a lot of fatty tissue in the breasts, liposuction is also performed. The nipple is preserved.
