class=\"service-page-para\">\n<div class=\"\">Added to this is often the feeling that the breasts no longer suit one\u2019s body proportions or have changed significantly over the years.<br \/>\nThis is precisely why Dr Wiedner does not view breast reduction as merely a reduction in volume.<br \/>\nHer aim is rather to achieve breasts that:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>easier<\/li>\n<li>more harmonious<\/li>\n<li>more flexible<\/li>\n<li>and becomes more stable in the long term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"\">For her, it is not about removing as much tissue as possible.<br \/>\nIt is about restoring harmony between function, form and natural proportions.<\/p>\n<h2>When breast size becomes a physical burden<\/h2>\n<p>Many female patients have been trying to manage their symptoms using conservative treatments for years.<br \/>\nPeople cut back on exercise, try out special bras, or increasingly come to terms with pain in their daily lives.<br \/>\nThis often leads to emotional distress as well.<br \/>\nThe breast is no longer seen as a natural part of one\u2019s own body, but increasingly as something heavy, burdensome or restrictive.<br \/>\nThat is precisely why, in Dr Wiedner\u2019s view, modern breast reduction surgery means far more than just a cosmetic change.<br \/>\nIt can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improve flexibility<\/li>\n<li>Reduce pain<\/li>\n<li>Relieve pressure on the spine<\/li>\n<li>and significantly change the way many female patients feel about their bodies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"read-more-content-id\" class=\"read-more-content \">\n<h2>Modern breast reduction surgery is all about shaping and stability<\/h2>\n<p>In the past, breast reduction surgery often involved mainly the removal of skin and tissue.<br \/>\nWe now know that, in the long term, good results depend much more on internal stability and the biological quality of the tissue.<br \/>\nLarge and heavy breasts in particular often have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>soft tissues<\/li>\n<li>stressed skin<\/li>\n<li>and reduced elasticity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If only volume is removed without properly reorganising the internal structures, the breast may sag again or lose its shape in the long term.<br \/>\nThis is why modern approaches to internal stabilisation \u2013 comparable to an \u2018internal bra\u2019 \u2013 play a key role.<br \/>\nThis involves specifically reshaping and stabilising deeper tissue structures in order to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>greater stability in the long term<\/li>\n<li>better projection<\/li>\n<li>to create softer contours and more harmonious proportions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is precisely what helps prevent problems later on, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>further sagging<\/li>\n<li>loss of shape<\/li>\n<li>or instability in the lower chest can often be significantly reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Dr Wiedner\u2019s view, long-lasting, attractive results in breast surgery are achieved not by applying maximum tension to the skin, but by ensuring a stable internal tissue structure.<\/p>\n<h2>Different techniques and cuts<\/h2>\n<p>Over the years, numerous breast reduction techniques have been developed.<br \/>\nThese differ not only in the scar pattern, but above all:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> in the internal tissue structure<\/li>\n<li>stability<\/li>\n<li>blood circulation<\/li>\n<li>and long-term shape control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For some patients, vertical or so-called Lejour techniques can produce very elegant results \u2013 particularly in cases of moderate breast size and good skin quality.<br \/>\nSuch procedures often result in fewer horizontal scars and appear very attractive at first glance.<br \/>\nAt the same time, even scar-minimising techniques have their limitations.<br \/>\nThis is particularly true in cases of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>very heavy breasts<\/li>\n<li>significant excess skin<\/li>\n<li>soft tissue<\/li>\n<li>or more pronounced sagging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reducing the cutting path too much may, in the long term, lead to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tensions<\/li>\n<li>further slackening<\/li>\n<li>loss of shape<\/li>\n<li>or lead to a lack of stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In such situations, more stable techniques \u2013 often involving an inverted T-incision \u2013 are anatomically more appropriate.<br \/>\nThey allow for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>better shape control<\/li>\n<li>more stable internal tissue structure<\/li>\n<li>and more stable results in the long term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Dr Wiedner, therefore, a smaller scar does not automatically mean a better result.<br \/>\nThe key factor is always:<br \/>\nWhich technique is best suited to the patient\u2019s anatomy, tissue quality and long-term resilience.<\/p>\n<h2>The importance of fabric quality<\/h2>\n<p>A key factor in achieving long-lasting, attractive results from breast surgery is the quality of the tissue itself.<br \/>\nJust after:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pregnancies<\/li>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>significant fluctuations in weight<\/li>\n<li>or in cases of genetically soft tissue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>the breast\u2019s biological resilience is often reduced.<br \/>\nA breast reduction can alter the shape and weight of the breast \u2013 but it cannot fully restore the biological quality of the tissue.<br \/>\nThat is why Dr Wiedner is increasingly incorporating regenerative approaches into her surgical planning.<br \/>\nThese include, in particular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Autologous fat transfer<\/li>\n<li>regenerative tissue engineering<\/li>\n<li>and biological support for healing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is not about adding extra volume, but rather about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>better fabric quality<\/li>\n<li>smoother transitions<\/li>\n<li>improved skin texture<\/li>\n<li>and long-term stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In her view, it is precisely the combination of structural surgery and biological regeneration that plays a key role in ensuring that results remain stable, natural and durable in the long term.<\/p>\n<h2>Naturalness rather than maximisation<\/h2>\n<p>Dr Wiedner deliberately adopts a calm and anatomically oriented approach.<br \/>\nHer goal is not to have the smallest possible breasts.<br \/>\nThe focus is on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>functional relief<\/li>\n<li>harmonious proportions<\/li>\n<li>long-term stability<\/li>\n<li>Mobility<\/li>\n<li>and a breast that blends naturally into the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For her, the most challenging form of modern breast surgery is not the most significant change.<br \/>\nIt is a result that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>reduced symptoms<\/li>\n<li>takes the strain off the body<\/li>\n<li>Improved mobility<\/li>\n<li>and at the same time has a soft, natural and enduringly harmonious effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Scars and long-term harmony<\/h2>\n<p>Understandably, many female patients are particularly concerned about scarring.<br \/>\nFor Dr Wiedner, however, long-term stability is a far greater priority than minimising scarring at any cost.<br \/>\nReducing the cutting path too drastically can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>undermine internal stability<\/li>\n<li>Increase the tension<\/li>\n<li>and, in the long term, lead to a loss of fitness once again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That is why, in her view, the aim is not to minimise scarring as much as possible, but to achieve an anatomically sound shape and long-term harmony. At the same time, she naturally pays attention to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>as fine a grain as possible<\/li>\n<li>low voltage<\/li>\n<li>get well soon<\/li>\n<li>and natural transitions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Audits and complex initial situations<\/h2>\n<p>Many patients now arrive having already undergone preliminary treatment or surgery.<br \/>\nThese include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>previous breast reduction operations<\/li>\n<li>Breast lifts<\/li>\n<li>Implants<\/li>\n<li>Asymmetries<\/li>\n<li>or tissue problems following previous operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Surgical procedures in particular require:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a thorough understanding of anatomy<\/li>\n<li>Experience in tissue physiology<\/li>\n<li>and highly personalised planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Often, the real challenge lies not in performing \u2018more\u2019 surgery, but in reducing tension, soothing the tissue and restoring natural proportions.<br \/>\nIt is precisely in this respect that Dr Wiedner sees a key difference between standardised breast surgery and truly personalised breast surgery.<\/p>\n<h2>Your personalised approach<\/h2>\n<p>Dr Wiedner does not view breast surgery as a race to achieve the most dramatic transformation.<br \/>\nTheir aim is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>functional relief<\/li>\n<li>natural harmony<\/li>\n<li>long-term stability<\/li>\n<li>softer contours<\/li>\n<li>and a breast that blends naturally into the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>She does not wish to create an artificial shape.<br \/>\nShe aims to restore balance to the tissue, shape and proportions.<br \/>\nIt is precisely in this that she sees the true value of modern breast reduction surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Added to this is often the feeling that the breasts no longer suit one\u2019s body proportions or have changed significantly over the years.
