Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction may be considered for aesthetic reasons and to address symptoms associated with breast hypertrophy, such as heaviness, neck, shoulder or back discomfort, restricted movement and skin irritation. The procedure removes excess glandular tissue and skin and reshapes the breasts. The extent of change varies between individuals.
Recovery After Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately three hours. An overnight stay is usually required. Returning to work may be possible after 2–3 days, depending on recovery. A supportive surgical bra is worn for approximately one month, while lifting weights and exercise should be avoided for 3–4 weeks.
The appearance of scars depends on the person’s skin and healing response. Incisions are positioned so that they can usually be covered by underwear or swimwear. The result is intended to be long-lasting, although substantial weight changes or pregnancy may affect breast shape over time.

I visited Dr. Moutsoudis’s clinic. He is an excellent doctor who explains everything about each procedure. I personally had injectable treatments on my face and was completely satisfied 🙏. I also had Dermapen with the girls, with a perfect result. Wonderful atmosphere and clinic!! Thank you!! 🙂

For me, Dr. Moutsoudis is the best plastic surgeon. We went through a procedure together, and from the beginning he told me that recovery would be difficult, while other doctors do not say these things. He was completely honest and informative from the first appointment to the last. Even after the procedure, he came to see me three times at the clinic within 12 hours, and to this day, 18 days after the procedure, he shows concern almost daily about the healing process. His phone is always on, and he answers any question I have immediately, even at weekends. He has been by my side from the first moment to the last. Above all, the doctor is a very good person and an excellent doctor!! His results speak for themselves! Of course, I could not fail to mention his impeccably trained team: all excellent professionals, very caring, knowledgeable, kind and principled! My experience at Dr. Moutsoudis’s clinic will remain unforgettable! I am grateful and recommend him without reservation!

I have no words for the doctor. Five stars are far too few. I visited the clinic a short while ago, and he explained everything to me with great patience. Very approachable and, above all, a wonderful human being!!! And the result was fantastic!!!! By far the best plastic surgeon!!
