Breast Reduction - Breast Hypertrophy
Do you suffer from breast hypertrophy (overly large breasts) causing pain and discomfort? Breast reduction in Tunisia is an aesthetic and functional surgery that allows reducing breast volume, relieving back pain and improving the silhouette. Performed by experienced plastic surgeons, this procedure offers natural and lasting results at competitive prices.
What is the principle of breast reduction?
The procedure consists of removing excess skin and mammary gland, which reduces breast volume, lifts them and improves their shape. This procedure gives a younger-looking breast and improves the silhouette.
Is there a scar?
Breast reduction scars vary according to the technique. The anchor scar is the most common. Shorter scars are possible for moderate reductions. Exclusive liposuction leaves no visible scar. This technique is suitable for predominantly fatty breasts.
What anesthesia is used?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. It guarantees patient comfort. It allows the surgeon to work safely.
How long must one stay at the clinic?
Hospitalization is 1 to 2 nights depending on the extent of the procedure. Post-operative evolution also influences the duration. Same-day discharge is possible for some patients.
When can professional activities be resumed?
Return to work is generally possible between 5 and 10 days. The exact duration depends on the type of procedure. Your body's natural ability to recover influences the duration. A longer break may be necessary for physical work.
Is there pain after the procedure?
Pain is usually minimal after breast reduction. It is easily relieved by prescribed painkillers. Discomfort and a sensation of tension are normal in the first days.
When can the first shower be taken after the procedure?
A shower is recommended from the day after the procedure. Dressings must remain dry and be protected during the shower.
Must a bra be worn after the procedure?
Wearing a bra is important after breast reduction. A non-underwired bra is recommended during the first month. All types of bras are allowed after the first month.
Must sports be stopped?
Return to activities after breast reduction is progressive. Upper body sports must be stopped for a minimum of one month. Heavy lifting is discouraged for 1 month.
Should the breasts be massaged or creams applied after the procedure?
Scar care after breast reduction is important. A healing cream is prescribed by the surgeon. A moisturizing cream is recommended in the following days. Massages are forbidden during the first month.

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Reduction in Tunisia
1Is breast reduction a painful procedure?
Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia, which makes the procedure painless. After surgery, moderate pain is controlled with painkillers. Most patients describe discomfort rather than intense pain, with rapid improvement from the first days.
2Does breast reduction affect the ability to breastfeed?
Breast reduction can affect the ability to breastfeed, as it modifies the milk ducts and may reduce milk production. Patients who wish to breastfeed in the future should discuss this risk with their surgeon. A surgical technique preserving the nipple-areolar pedicle can improve breastfeeding chances.
3Can breast reduction be combined with liposuction?
Yes, in some cases, breast reduction can be combined with liposuction of the breasts or adjacent areas (arms, back, armpits) for a more complete silhouette remodeling. This combined approach allows removal of excess fat and skin for a more harmonious result.
4How long is the hospital stay for breast reduction in Tunisia?
Hospitalization for breast reduction generally lasts 1 to 2 nights. Same-day discharge is possible in some cases for moderate reductions. A period of a few days of rest at home is recommended after discharge.
5Are the scars from breast reduction visible?
Scars are generally placed around the areola and vertically down to the inframammary fold (inverted 'T' shape). They are designed to be discreet and fade over time. For moderate reductions, shorter scars (peri-areolar) may be possible. Good healing depends on post-operative care.

Returning to sports is progressive. Walking is allowed from the first days. Light physical activities can resume after 2 to 3 weeks. Sports involving the arms and chest (tennis, swimming, weightlifting) are only allowed after 4 to 6 weeks, on the advice of the surgeon.
