Breast reduction surgery is a transformative procedure that not only reshapes the body but also restores comfort, balance, and confidence. For women experiencing discomfort due to large, heavy breasts — whether physical, emotional, or both — this procedure offers lasting relief and aesthetic harmony.
Dr. Dora Evangelidou is a European board-certified plastic surgeon and leading specialist in breast surgeries, including complex secondary and corrective cases. Her breast reduction approach prioritizes tissue preservation, nerve integrity, and a scar-minimizing technique, supported by her holistic SOMA™ Protocol — combining precision microsurgery, anti-inflammatory recovery support, and aesthetic artistry.
You may benefit from a breast reduction if you experience:
Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain due to breast weight
Bra strap indentation or bra line depression deformity at the shoulder level from chronic tension
Persistent skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts — often accompanied by moisture buildup — which may occasionally lead to fungal infections such as candida
Difficulty finding properly fitting bras or clothes
Lifestyle limitations (exercise, sleep, posture)
Emotional distress or body image concerns
SOMA™ Protocol: A signature recovery strategy integrating functional medicine, BioWell™ energy scanning, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and scar optimization.
Microsurgical Precision: Techniques that protect nerves and blood supply for a safer, more elegant outcome.
Customized Aesthetics: Each reduction is tailored not only for relief but to achieve ideal proportions and natural upper pole fullness.
Dual Certification: Dr. Dora holds dual Master's degrees in Aesthetic, Oncologic Breast Surgery, and Microsurgery, awarded by the prestigious Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. This advanced academic foundation enhances her precision, aesthetic vision, and unique expertise in shaping, restoring, and reconstructing the breast with microsurgical finesse.
Holistic Recovery: Postoperative care includes lymphatic support, wellness coaching, and regenerative skin treatments.
Surgery Duration: 2.5–4 hours
Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety. In selected cases, light sedation may be considered. Tailored to each case.
Incisions: Depending on the degree of ptosis (sagging), your incision type will be customized. Common techniques include:
Inverted-T (Anchor): Suitable for significant sagging, with incisions around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease
Circumferential-Vertical (Lollipop): A vertical incision from the areola to the crease, ideal for moderate sagging
Periareolar Lifting: Incision confined to the edge of the areola, typically used for mild sagging
Supplement-based immune and gut support: Backed by evidence-based data, this is part of your personalized pre- and post-op care to support resilience, healing, and reduced systemic inflammation.

Dr. Dora uses nerve-sparing techniques to preserve nipple sensation whenever safely possible. However, there is no guaranteed outcome, as this also depends on each patient’s unique anatomy and nerve distribution. While there is no way to predict this in advance, permanent loss of sensation is considered a very rare occurrence in our practice.
With older surgical techniques, the chances of losing the ability to breastfeed could reach up to 100%. Dr. Dora uses the latest methods and tissue-preserving strategies, applying precision surgery to maximize the likelihood of maintaining breastfeeding capacity. While individual outcomes still depend on anatomy and glandular integrity, her approach is designed to offer the best possible chances for future lactation.
Yes — asymmetry is very common and will usually improve during your surgery for better balance and shape. However, many times the cause of asymmetry is not limited to breast volume alone. Other contributing factors — such as chest wall differences, rib cage shape, pectoral muscle imbalance, or even scoliosis — cannot be corrected with breast surgery. These structural asymmetries will likely improve in overall appearance but may not be completely eliminated.
Yes — every breast reduction includes a lifting component to reshape and elevate the breast into a more youthful position.
We advise completing family planning before surgery, but many women choose to proceed beforehand for relief. Future weight fluctuations or pregnancies may affect results slightly but do not typically reverse them.
Scars fade significantly over 6–12 months and are placed in discreet areas. With SOMA™ scar care protocols, many patients report minimal long-term visibility. Dr. Dora is a leading plastic surgeon well known for her scar-minimizing approach and signature techniques in scar handling, offering refined results with exceptional attention to detail.
