Breast Reduction in Turkey

Breast reduction is an operation aimed at reducing the size of the breasts. It is performed by a plastic surgeon. This procedure is usually applied by women to alleviate physical discomfort due to large and heavy breasts or for aesthetic reasons. Large breasts can cause problems such as back pain, neck pain, poor posture, shoulder scars and even skin irritation.

Breast reduction usually involves the reduction of breast tissue, skin and sometimes the nipple.

Breast reduction should be performed depending on the patient's personal preferences, health status and the surgeon’s recommendations. However, as with any surgical procedure, those considering this procedure must be thoroughly informed about the risks and expectations.

Breast Reduction Methods

• Vertical (Lollipop) breast reduction

In this technique, a vertical incision is made on the breast to reshape the breast tissue and skin. These incisions go down from the nipple and continue to the lower part of the breast. This method is often preferred for smaller breasts.

• Inverted T (Anchor) breast reduction

This technique is a more extensive procedure in which a T-shaped incision is made from the nipple to under the breast and from under the breast to under the rib cage. This method removes more tissue and skin and can therefore be used for larger breast reductions.

• Tissue removal method

Doctors reduce the breast by removing the desired amount of excess breast tissue and skin. The nipple is usually repositioned during this procedure.

• Liposuction

This technique utilizes fat suction to reduce breast tissue. It can be effective in breasts that usually contain a large percentage of fat but require tight skin.

Breast Reduction Healing Process

• For the first few days after surgery, bandages or dressings may be used on the breasts. There may be pain and discomfort, so use prescribed painkillers regularly.
• Swelling and bruising are normal after surgery. These reduce over time, but they may last for several weeks or months. Scars vary, usually fading and healing over time.
• The first few days focus on rest and healing. No heavy lifting or intense exercises should be done for the time recommended by the doctor.
• Special support underwear or bras should be worn for the period recommended by the surgeon.
• Regular check-ups and follow-up visits as recommended by your surgeon are beneficial for the healing process.
• Smoking and alcohol use is prohibited. Do not consume as it will delay recovery.
• Eat a healthy diet. You should be careful not to gain or lose weight.

Everyone’s healing process can be different, so following your doctor’s recommendations and instructions is an important part of supporting a healthy recovery.
