Breast Reduction

The breast, symbol of femininity, helps to make every woman’s body beautiful. Not always a very large breast is a symptom of beauty, its size must be proportionate with the rest of the body and ensure balance with and among other forms. A woman may feel uncomfortable in an inharmonious body, feel observed but not appreciated. Moreover, a large breast can cause back and neck pain, also it can make it difficult to perform particular physical activities.

Luckily, there is a solution to all this: reduction mastoplasty. It is a surgical operation aimed to reduce volume and weight of the breast, giving it a more natural and comfortable size. In this way, every woman can appreciate her body back, see balance and harmony in its forms, like herself and perform sport activities with much freedom.

A woman may feel uncomfortable in an inharmonious body, feel observed but not appreciated.

In this way, every woman can appreciate her body back, see balance and harmony in its forms, like herself and perform sport activities with much freedom.

It starts with the first visit which is the most important phase. Firstly I make sure my patient is in good health. Based on the peculiarities of her breasts, I identify the most appropriate solution for the most natural and aesthetically perfect result possible. In some cases, I can also use liposuction to reduce the size of the breast in particular on the lateral sides of the breasts

The operation takes place under general anesthesia and it takes about three hours. Upon awakening, I prescribe a painkiller to sedate the pain. I apply a compression bandage which I replace with a lighter one after 48 hours and after dressing the wounds. For about two months I recommend using, 24 hours a day, a sports bra to give support to the breast without generating strong pressure. Also in this case recovery is very important. In the following days after surgery, you should avoid work andfor about six weeks, excessive physical exertion.

And the result of all this? A balanced breast in proportion to the rest of the body. In this way every woman can feel more confident and have the pleasure of showing the beauty and harmony of her forms.

FAQ

Doubts or questions? It’s only natural to have any! Below I try to answer the most frequent ones. For further clarification you can write to me at any time, I will answer as soon as possible.

Yes, since it is general anaesthesia, you should not eat or drink for about six hours before the operation.
Yes. In order to promote rapid recovery and reduce the risk of infection, smokers should refrain from smoking, starting at least two weeks before the operation.
It is not recommended, but there is a possibility that it is necessary to stop taking them.
There are three breast reduction techniques: traditional, with vertical incision and without scars. Traditional: I make two different incisions: one around the nipple and the other round the breast before removing excess fat and skin. once both incisions are made I place the breast, nipple and areola in a higher position, stretch the skin around the breast and sew the incisions. With vertical incision: it is a less invasive incision, but not suitable for women who has extremely large breasts. The incision is made around the areola, in a vertical way along the breast surface, downwards. Without scarring: I use liposuction to reduce breast size. After making small incisions under the armpit in the fold of the breast or in the upper external part, I drain the excess fat and close the incisions.

The first appointment

It is the basis of my aesthetic renewal process, in which I like to establish a direct relationship with my patient.

The surgery

I operate with my patient's wishes and achievable results in mind to ensure an excellent result and a swift post-operative course.

After the surgery

I will see every patient personally in their follow ups, monitoring the patient until his complete recovery. Every one of my patient will have contact with 24 hrs for any advice and I give a life time care.

I had a breast augmentation with Dr Marcellino and my experience was outstanding. I had seen a few surgeons already by the time I met Dr Max and as soon as I had my consultation, I knew I had found the right surgeon. He has a very relaxed demeanour which immediately puts you at ease and he takes a lot of time to go through all the questions you might have. I'd done my research on his track record so knew I was in good hands. The operation went smoothly and I can't believe it has been 5 months already - I'm delighted with the results and only wish I had done it sooner!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr Max Marcellino and I am so happy with the results. I had been wanting a breast enlargement for years + I did a lot of research into the procedure and different surgeons in London and I wasn’t happy with any surgeon until I came across Dr Marcellino, who was recommended to me by a relative. Probably the best decision I ever made, having this surgery done by him as he is simply amazing! From the first appointment to my surgery and now in my recovery he and his team have been beyond excellent. I was very nervous about my surgery, I wasn’t too sure what to expect but the anaesthesiologists were amazing with keeping me calm as well as my Nurse ‘Esther’. Really made me feel comfortable and reassured me that everything will be okay and it did. Nearly a month into my recovery and I couldn’t be happier with my results, I am so glad that I chose Dr Marcellino because realistically I wouldn’t of had the surgery done if I didn’t find him.Thank you so much for making my confidence boost and making me feel beautiful :) I really recommend Dr Marcellino, and all the staff at The London Welbeck Hospital :)
I got a blepharoplasty done and I could not be more Happy with the results and healing process.

I would 100 recommend dr Marcellino and his plastic surgery staff. I had a breast reduction and breast lift and I am over the moon with the results that exceed my expectations. Thanks Massimiliano !
The most loveliest team! So much reassurance. I was SO nervous on the morning of my surgery, but they calmed me down to the point of me being asleep, then as soon as I came rounds they were SO lovely! They’re always on hand to help 24/7 with questions etc. Dr Marcellino’s work cannot get any better! So much of a confidence boost. So glad I chose him, and his team and I got it done! 🤍
I had an arm liposuction and breast augmentation with Dr. Marcellino exactly 20 days ago. From the first visit I was followed by him and on the day of the surgery we chose the size of the prosthesis that was best suited with my body. I was advised by Dr. Marcellino and I could not have made a better choice! The result of the breasts is wonderful, not to mention the finally thinner arms.The doctor is always available despite the distance that I live in Milan, he is always there for me.I can't wait to be able to wear low-cut dresses and bathing suit!
Cannot thank Dr Marcellino enough!! So SO happy with my results from my breast augmentation! Best decision I’ve ever made and you have all been amazing - from start to finish. The BEST!! Thank you xx
Mettere 5 stelle è riduttivo,se avessi potuto ne avrei messe di più, che dire oggi a distanza di un anno e mezzo sono felicissima di aver scelto il dott.

Ne ho sentiti tanti e ho stolkerato tantissimi profili di altri medici prima di scegliere lui, e ho fatto bene!!!! Il TOPPPPP
