Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery is an operation applied to large breasts that are not suitable for the person's anatomy. With this operation, it is possible to get rid of excess weight and the ideal breast appearance-symmetry is achieved. Thus, it is ensured that physical activities are carried out more easily, that those who suffer from back, waist and neck pain due to breast weight get rid of these pains, in short, the quality of life of the patient increases.

Large breasts cause scarring of bra straps on the shoulders, rash in the under-breast folds, and cause neck and back pain.

During this procedure, the breast is reshaped by removing skin, fat and breast tissue.
Breast reduction surgeries are performed with certain techniques and in line with planning. Tissue removal can be done classically by interfering with the tissues, or in some limited cases, it can be done together with liposuction.
During the operation, while the breast tissue is reduced, the sagging caused by excess tissue is also recovered.

In patients with very large or drooping breasts, the 'Inverted T' shaped 'incision' (incision line) may also extend along the fold under the breast. The incision surrounds the areola, extends downward and follows the natural line behind the breast. Excess breast tissue, adipose tissue and skin are removed, nipple and areola are moved up to their new place. Thus, new lines of the breast are shaped.
Operations performed on very large breasts are not considered as an aesthetic surgery because they meet the functional needs of the patient.
What kind of anesthesia is done in this surgery?
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 3-4 hours. Pain is minimal. There may be some limitation in arm movements for a while.

During the operation, small tubes called drains are placed in both breasts to expel the blood and fluids that may accumulate in the first 1-2 days. Drains are removed within 24 to 72 hours after the operation. A bra-like wrap is applied over the breasts or a surgical bra is worn. Patients can return to their normal lives in 5 days, and the stitches heal in 12 days.
Some loss of sensation may occur in the nipple and breast skin due to tissue swelling after surgery. This condition usually disappears within 6 weeks. In some patients, this loss of sensation may last for 1 year or longer. Rarely, it can be permanent.
After the operation, the breasts become smaller, lighter and firmer. The patient will have more beautiful, smaller and proportional breasts. Thus, women who get rid of excess weight live a more comfortable life.
