Breast Reduction

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure sought by individuals with large breast volume due to both aesthetic concerns and physical discomfort. This surgery involves the removal of excess fat, skin, and tissue, resulting in smaller, proportionate, and aesthetically pleasing breasts.

Who is it Suitable For?

Breast reduction surgery may be suitable for individuals experiencing the following conditions:

• Those experiencing back, neck, and shoulder pain due to large breast volume
• Those who have difficulty with physical activities due to overly large breasts
• Individuals facing clothing issues and having aesthetic concerns
• Those who experience sagging and volume loss in their breasts after pregnancy or weight loss

Procedure Process

Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgery process includes the following steps:

• Pre-operative examination and assessment
• Taking necessary measurements and planning the surgery
• Surgically removing excess tissue and fat from the breasts
• Reshaping and lifting the breasts

The surgery process usually lasts between 2 to 4 hours.

Recovery Process

The recovery process after surgery varies from person to person, but generally progresses as follows:

• It is recommended to rest and avoid heavy activities for the first few days.
• Stitches are usually removed within 1-2 weeks.
• The complete recovery process may take 4-6 weeks.
• Swelling and bruising that may occur after surgery will decrease over time.
