Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery, medically known as breast reduction, is a surgical procedure aimed at eliminating the physical and aesthetic problems caused by excessively large breasts. A large breast structure can lead to back, neck, and shoulder pain, posture disorders, and a decrease in the quality of daily life over time. In addition, aesthetic and functional problems such as limitations in clothing choice and sports activities can be seen. The primary goal of breast reduction surgery is not only to make the breasts smaller, but to create a light and functional breast structure compatible with body proportions. Thanks to modern surgical techniques, while the aesthetic appearance is preserved, the physical comfort of the patient can also be significantly increased.
Who is Breast Reduction Suitable For?
Breast reduction surgery is suitable for individuals who experience physical discomfort due to the weight of their breasts, have difficulty in daily life activities, and are aesthetically dissatisfied with their breast size. It is also frequently preferred in patients who experience rashes and skin problems in the inframammary (under-breast) area. In the pre-operative evaluation, the amount of breast tissue, the position of the nipple, skin elasticity, and the structure of the rib cage are examined in detail. This analysis forms the basis of the personalized surgical planning.
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia. During the surgery, the breast is reshaped by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. The nipple and the surrounding tissue are moved to the ideal anatomical position. Incisions are planned in a way that the scars will become less distinct over time. The duration of the surgery may vary depending on the amount of tissue to be removed and the technique to be applied.
Recovery After Breast Reduction
It is normal to see edema and sensitivity in the post-operative period. These effects decrease over time. Most patients can return to their daily lives within a few weeks. It may take a few months for the final results to fully emerge. Breast reduction surgery is a procedure that significantly increases the quality of life both aesthetically and physically with correct planning.
