FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Reduction

This procedure takes place under general anaesthesia and lasts on average 2 hours. The surgeon makes an incision under the breasts and removes glandular and fatty tissue and skin. If necessary, the nipples are repositioned to fit the breast’s new shape. Usually, two scars appear; in the fold under the breast and from the areola downwards (anchor scars).

After the procedure, your smaller breasts will be wrapped in compressive bandages, so you won’t immediately be able to see them. During the first period, your breasts will be swollen. You will notice the result after 6 months. The result is attained in one year, and by then, the scars will have taken on the color of your skin.

Your breasts will be firmly connected bandaged after the surgery. The bandage can be removed after 48 hours. You will wear a special postoperative bra immediately after the surgery. This bra looks like a sports bra and gives your breasts the support they need. Wear this bra for as long as necessary. Most patients experience a sensation of pressure on the chest. However, the pain is mostly not so bad and can be easily controlled with pain medication. Sometimes drains are inserted to drain wound fluid. For the first six weeks after surgery, lifting your arms higher than your shoulders, lifting things, or exercising is not recommended. After those 6 weeks, you can slowly start moving usually. Make sure, however, that your breasts remain well-supported.

Like all surgeries, breast reduction involves risks and there is a risk of complications. The risks include:

  • Unsightly scarring
  • Bleeding (haematoma)
  • Infection
  • Poor wound healing
  • Changes in (the sensation of) the nipple, temporarily or permanently
  • Sore breasts

Breastfeeding may not be possible after having a breast reduction, as some of the milk ducts leading to the nipples are removed as well.

The treatment is always extremely professional, careful, and as much painless as possible; the doctors and team are extremely friendly, helpful, and conscientious. And all this in a beautiful and well-maintained building, as of recently on Statenlaan in Scheveningen!

Brest Augmentation

A very good clinic and professional. The feel and look of the clinic are very special, and the same way they treat the patients. They were there for me whenever I needed them, and I felt like they were just one step away from me. I appreciated this for such a big time.

BodyTite

I felt safe at Essential Aesthetics, which is exactly what I was looking for. I am incredibly satisfied with the results of my BodyTite treatment—better than I expected. The recovery was much easier than I had anticipated, especially compared to a tummy tuck, for which I initially had a consultation scheduled at Essential Aesthetics. With BodyTite, subcutaneous fat is removed through melting while simultaneously tightening the skin. Thanks to this choice, I now have a flat stomach *without* any visible scars. In short: I recommend this clinic 100%. If you are still in doubt, this is your sign to book a consultation ♥️

Skin Improvements

I have been coming to Essential Aesthetics for years and am very satisfied with both the way the owner and team treat me and the treatments. I myself have had my eyelids lifted, had a muscle relaxants treatment and am currently undergoing treatment for hair loss and laser therapy for collagen stimulation. The team is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible. If you’re looking for high-quality aesthetic treatments in a welcoming and expert environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Essential Aesthetics!

Breast Reduction treatment Details

GalaFLEX® is a temporary, absorbable scaffold that strengthens, stabilizes, and supports weakened soft tissue. It was designed to provide support immediately after breast surgery, which allows your body to heal and create a healthy new tissue plane of primarily mature collagen. GalaFLEX® scaffolds are made from a biologically derived polymer known as poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB™), which breaks down over time into CO2 and H2O, a process similar to absorbable stitches. This means your body knows how to metabolize and absorb entirely the scaffold safely and naturally. GalaFLEX® scaffolds are offered in various shapes for use in breast surgery procedures. Each GalaFLEX® scaffold is selected by your surgeon specific to your body’s shape and needs.
During surgery, your surgeon will place the GalaFLEX® scaffold internal bra under your tissue. The unique knit pattern of the scaffold encourages rapid cellular infiltration and the formation of new collagen which is a key component of healthy skin tissue. This newly formed tissue is pliable yet provides strength, support and stability to the elevated tissue. After 18-24 months, the scaffold is essentially completely absorbed and eliminated from the body as water and carbon dioxide through natural physiologic pathways. No polymer metabolites remain after the degradation process is complete. The collagen tissue that remains is 3-4 times the original tissue strength.
The GalaFLEX® Family of Scaffolds are used in patients who need additional support because of weakened or deficient soft tissue, in breast surgery procedures. The GalaFLEX® Family of Scaffolds are used in breast procedures such as reduction mammoplasty, augmentation and revision surgeries. Patients seeking to strengthen and stabilize weakened tissue during breast surgery may be a candidate for GalaFLEX® scaffold.
1 Month – Healthy cells grow into the scaffold. 7 Months – Mature collagen is prevalent and provides reinforcement to the elevated tissue. 1 Year – A new healthy tissue plane 3-4 times stronger than the original tissue remains as the scaffold absorbs. 1,5-2Years – The scaffold absorption process is essentially complete. Actual results may vary
Patients seeking to strengthen and stabilize weakened tissue during breast surgery may be a candidate for GalaFLEX® scaffold. Please consult our surgeons to discuss if GalaFLEX® scaffold may be suitable for you. Here are some questions you may want to discuss with your surgeon: How would you describe the quality of my breast tissue? Do I have risk factors for weakened breast tissue? Will my tissue alone provide enough strength and support? Does my tissue need additional soft tissue support? Do I need a GalaFLEX® Internal Bra™? Clinically proven Comprehensive portfolio of biocompatibility testing reviewed by FDA and Notified Body during regulatory approval process for P4HB products. Produced by a safe biological fermentation process, standard in pharmaceutical production. Not of animal origin, Not synthetic. P4HB devices implanted in more than 3 million patients worldwide. P4HB extensively researched with more than 60 clinical and scientific publications. GalaFLEX® does not interfere with diagnostic mammograms or ultrasound techniques. Intended Use The GalaFLEX® Family of Scaffolds is intended for use, as an adjunct to sutures, for the reinforcement and repair of soft tissue where weakness exists and where the addition of a reinforcing material is needed to obtain the desired surgical result in patients undergoing breast surgery. The GalaFLEX® Family of Scaffolds is designed to be used in patients undergoing soft tissue repair and reinforcement in medically necessary breast surgery procedures where the existing soft tissue is deficient to support the surgical repair. Examples of such breast surgery applications include reduction mammoplasty and breast revision surgery to correct a medical condition. The GalaFLEX® Family of Scaffolds may also be used in cosmetic breast procedures.
As we age so does our skin. After the age of 20, our skin loses about 1% of its collagen each year. This gradual loss of collagen is what causes skin to become thinner and less elastic, resulting in natural sagging and wrinkles. There are many factors that can accelerate this effect, including: Gravity Smoking Weight loss Sun & UV exposure Menopause (Causing an annual decrease of over 1% of skin thickness and 2% of collagen) Pregnancy Diet Previous surgery (Scars only heal to 80% of their initial strength) In most breast surgery procedures, compromised and/or weakened soft tissue is tightened. Unfortunately, the tissue itself will not be stronger and gravity may once again cause tissue to droop or sag. This is why many surgeons choose to use a soft tissue support scaffold-like GalaFLEX®. Not only does it provide internal breast support to newly lifted and tightened tissue immediately after surgery, but it also allows soft tissue to heal stronger.
Clinical studies show that within 10 years following surgery, between 32% – 48% of patients undergo a second surgery to revise their initial surgical results. The most frequent reason for revisionary surgery among aesthetic implant patients was the development of ptosis (42%) or sagging of the tissue.
