Do you suffer from physical discomfort such as back pain, neck pain or limitations in your everyday life due to overly large breasts?
Then breast reduction surgery at corrigé luzern may be the right solution for you.
At corrigé, we support women who wish to have their breast size corrected for health or aesthetic reasons.
When is breast reduction surgery advisable?
Breasts that are too large can cause physical and emotional stress:
- Pain in the back, shoulders and neck
- Pressure marks from bra straps
- Restricted activities in everyday life or during sports
- Difficulties in choosing clothing
- Inflammation in the breast fold
- Psychological discomfort with your own breast size
- Negative experiences due to disturbing looks or comments from other people who constantly focus on your breasts
The aim of breast reduction is to bring your breasts into harmony with your body so that you have a better quality of life, greater freedom of movement, more self-confidence and feel comfortable in your own body.
The procedure – your breast reduction in Lucerne
The operation takes around 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthetic in a modern operating theatre.
Excess skin, fat and mammary gland tissue are removed and the breast is reshaped.
The scar is located:
- around the areola
- perpendicular to the breast fold
- rarely additionally in the underbust fold (inverted T-incision)
After breast reduction surgery, our patients go home or stay in the clinic for one to two nights to spend the initial healing phase in a medical environment under doctor supervision.
At the end of the procedure, a wound drain is inserted for one to two days to remove excess fluid from the surgical area.
You will then wear a special support bra for a period of six weeks to aid healing and relieve pressure on the tissue.
You should expect to be unable to work for around two to three weeks before returning to work.
For activities involving heavy lifting or intensive use of the arms and hands, we recommend a recovery period of four weeks.
Sports activities are usually possible again after about four weeks, depending on the individual healing process and medical assessment.
The final result will be visible after about 6–9 months, when the swelling has completely subsided.
Your new breast shape will look natural, firm and proportional and will be tailored to your individual anatomy and lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions about breast reduction surgery in Lucerne
Many patients research the topic extensively before making a decision. This is a good thing, because breast reduction is a personal decision in which trust, information and medical quality are crucial.
Below, we answer some frequently asked questions that may be helpful to you:
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia at our cosmetic surgery practice in Lucerne and takes around three hours. During the procedure, excess tissue consisting of skin, mammary gland and fat is removed. The remaining tissue is then reshaped to create an aesthetically pleasing breast that is in proportion to the rest of the body. The operation takes place in a modern operating theatre under the highest medical standards.
After the operation, scars remain around the areola and perpendicular to the breast fold. In rare cases, an additional incision in the lower breast fold is necessary (T-incision). Our experienced specialist Dr Eva Rüegg chooses the technique that will ensure the scars heal as inconspicuously and optimally as possible. Over time, they fade significantly, especially with consistent scar care. Our team will accompany you through all phases of the treatment and give you helpful tips for optimal aftercare.
After breast reduction surgery, you should allow yourself sufficient time to recover. Patients who work in an office or do not perform physically demanding tasks can usually return to their normal daily routine after about two weeks. If your job requires heavy use of your arms, hands or back, such as in nursing or manual labour, you should expect to be out of work for three to four weeks. Our goal is to provide a sustainable solution that improves your quality of life in the long term without causing unnecessary stress during the healing phase.
Yes, every breast reduction automatically includes a breast lift. The procedure aims not only to reduce the size of the breasts, but also to reshape them aesthetically. The breasts are lifted, reshaped and the skin is tightened so that your new breast size is in harmony with your body anatomy. This creates a natural-looking result that takes your individual wishes and needs into account.
During breast reduction surgery, the nipple and areola are moved upwards in an anatomically correct manner. This is necessary to support the new breast shape and create an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. Thanks to our specialist's many years of experience, the position of the nipple is precisely adjusted to your new breast size, with great sensitivity to proportions and symmetry.
The price for breast reduction surgery starts at a flat rate of CHF 15,300. Costs may vary depending on individual findings, anatomical conditions and the complexity of the procedure.
We will provide you with a transparent and binding cost estimate during a personal consultation.
Health insurance companies rarely cover the costs unless there is a proven medical condition.
Our beauty clinic in Lucerne offers you not only medical excellence, but also personalised care on an equal footing. Under the direction of PD Dr Eva Rüegg, you will benefit from the highest level of experience in breast surgery, whether for breast augmentation, breast reduction or breast lift. Each treatment is individually tailored to your anatomy and your life situation.
