Many women suffer from overly large breasts, often both psychologically and physically. The heavy load can lead to difficulties in sports activities and postural damage. Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is one of the most common breast procedures and is an excellent way to treat these types of complaints. With a breast reduction performed by Dr. Spiegl, patients receive a more harmonious breast shape that perfectly fits their body \u2013 leading to an increased quality of life and enhanced self-confidence.<\/p>\n<h3>Jump directly to your preferred topic?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#reasons\">Reasons for a breast reduction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#function\">How does a breast reduction work?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#process\">The process with Dr. Spiegl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#results\">Results of the surgery<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#costs\">Costs for a breast reduction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#surgeon\">Dr. Spiegl \u2013 experienced surgeon in Salzburg and Lower Austria<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"reasons\">Reasons for a breast reduction<\/h2>\n<p>The procedure at Dr. Spiegl&#8217;s clinics in Salzburg or Pixendorf is particularly advisable if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain occurs due to the weight of the breasts,<\/li>\n<li>athletic activities or movements are severely restricted,<\/li>\n<li>skin irritations or eczema occur in the inframammary fold,<\/li>\n<li>posture is negatively affected,<\/li>\n<li>psychological distress is caused by the size of the breasts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many patients report significant relief in everyday life, improved freedom of movement, and a positive change in their self-esteem after the operation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"function\">How does a breast reduction work?<\/h2>\n<p>During this surgery, the breast is not only reduced in size, but it is also lifted (mastopexy) and \u2013 if necessary \u2013 asymmetries are corrected. There are countless breast reduction techniques, fundamentally distinguishing between &#8220;scar-sparing&#8221; and the &#8220;anchor or T-cut&#8221; technique. Neither technique is suitable for all breast types; choosing the right surgical technique is extremely important here. The selected technique depends on factors such as breast size, skin quality, and individual desires.<\/p>\n<h3>The Anchor or T-cut Technique<\/h3>\n<p>The &#8220;anchor&#8221; or &#8220;T-cut technique&#8221; results in a scar around the areola, a vertical scar down to the inframammary fold, and a well-hidden scar in the fold itself. This technique allows for excellent breast shaping, and the results are long-lasting and visible very early on. Generally, wounds on the breast heal very well and ensure inconspicuous scars.<\/p>\n<h3>Scar-sparing Techniques<\/h3>\n<p>So-called scar-sparing techniques usually manage without the incision in the inframammary fold. However, shaping the breast is somewhat more difficult, and the patient selection is more limited. The results are also very long-lasting, but it often takes a bit longer for the patient to visualize the final result.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"process\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5671 size-medicenter-gallery-image alignleft img-articles\" style=\"box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.05), 0 15px 35px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 30px 60px rgba(0,0,0,0.15); filter: brightness(1.02) contrast(1.02); max-width: 480px !important; max-height: 720px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/test.drspiegl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b2.webp\" alt=\"Woman draped in white fabric, side view\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.drspiegl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b2.webp 533w, https:\/\/test.drspiegl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b2-200x300.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/>Your Breast Reduction Process with Dr. Spiegl<\/h2>\n<p>The entire process \u2013 from the initial consultation to complete healing \u2013 typically extends over several months.<\/p>\n<h3>Initial Consultation and Medical History<\/h3>\n<p>If you are interested in a breast reduction, you are welcome to arrange a consultation appointment with Dr. Spiegl. During your first appointment, questions will be answered without any time pressure, comprehensive advice will be given, and photo documentation will be created. If you decide to go ahead with the surgery after receiving the cost estimate (the price for a breast reduction starts at \u20ac6,600 incl. anesthesia and hospital stay), an operation date will be set. It is important to know that in Austria, by law, two weeks must pass between the consultation and the surgical consent.<\/p>\n<h3>Before the Surgery<\/h3>\n<p>Preparation is crucial: certain medications must be discontinued, nicotine abstinence is recommended, and fitness for anesthesia is checked. You will receive precise instructions directly from Dr. Spiegl or the anesthesiologist.<\/p>\n<h3>The Day of Surgery<\/h3>\n<p>On the day of the procedure, you will be received at the hospital, prepared for surgery, and placed under general anesthesia. The intervention takes approx. 1-2 hours depending on the technique. After a short recovery phase, most patients can leave the clinic on the same or the following day.<\/p>\n<h3>Post-operative Phase<\/h3>\n<p>In the first few weeks, you will wear a special compression bra that supports healing. Showering is possible after a few days, but heavy lifting or sports should be avoided at the beginning. Generally, you are fit for work after one week, and sports can be resumed after 3-4 weeks. The final result is visible after about 3-6 months.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"results\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5670 size-medicenter-gallery-image alignright img-articles\" style=\"box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.05), 0 15px 35px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 30px 60px rgba(0,0,0,0.15); filter: brightness(1.02) contrast(1.02); max-width: 480px !important; max-height: 720px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/test.drspiegl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/plastischer-chirurg-salzburg-36.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in a black one-piece garment, seated, front view\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/>Results of Breast Reduction<\/h2>\n<p>A breast reduction with Dr. Spiegl leads to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>noticeable relief for the back, neck, and shoulders,<\/li>\n<li>a lighter, more harmonious breast shape,<\/li>\n<li>improvement in posture and freedom of movement,<\/li>\n<li>a new, positive body sensation,<\/li>\n<li>a significant increase in quality of life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"costs\">Costs for a Breast Reduction in Salzburg &amp; Pixendorf<\/h2>\n<p>Prices for a breast reduction with Dr. Spiegl start at approx. \u20ac6,600.
