Breast reduction

Due to genetic factors, hormonal causes, changes in weight and breastfeeding, breast changes can occur, large and sagging breasts can become a problem. The weight generated by the breast can lead to back and neck pain and changes in the spine in women. Frictional wounds can occur under the chest. The daily physical activity can be limited. The big breast creates difficulties when choosing clothes. For all of these reasons, the aversion of women can cause social and psychological problems, as well as a lack of self-confidence. As a result, breast reduction surgery is an aesthetic surgery that makes women’s breasts look better, as well as eliminating physical problems caused by heavy and sagging breasts.

What kind of surgery is breast reduction?

Many breast reduction techniques have been described today, all of which have their advantages and disadvantages. Some of these are breast reduction techniques with inferior pedicle, lateral or medial pedicle and central pedicle. Technical details can be very confusing. Although there are many techniques that have disadvantages and advantages, the choice of method is made according to the patient’s requirements. To achieve the best breast shape with the least scar, your surgery will be planned by choosing the most appropriate technique for you. Breast reduction surgery removes skin and breast tissue from the lower and side areas of the breast. The nipple is placed in the corresponding new position. A horizontal scar can be added to your scar, which can extend from the nipple around the nipple to your breast size. Her breast shape, which appears very upright and large immediately after the operation, will shrink slightly afterwards, which will reduce the swelling for up to 3 months and gravity will cause the breasts to tilt down very little, making them look much more natural. You will see that your scars, which appear conspicuous in the first few months, completely reduce the swelling within 3-6 months and thus the scar also has a color similar to your own skin color, which means that your scar becomes more indistinct. During this time, the use of scar creams and sunscreens will further reduce clarity.

How big will my breast size be?

We often hear this question from our patients. Women with very large breasts often come to us with a very small breast request. The breast is an important area for a woman and should definitely be of sufficient size. Your breast size is adjusted to your body size and the goal is to reduce it so that it does not generate weight and is aesthetically large enough.

At what age can this surgery be performed?

It is better to plan breast reduction surgery after breastfeeding and weight loss changes have ended. However, a woman over the age of 18 who has not yet had a pregnancy can also undergo breast reduction. Surgery can also be planned for a young patient, and the decision is entirely up to the patient, whose breast size restricts her life, suffers from serious problems in social life and has not yet breastfeed. If appropriate surgical methods are used, breast reduction surgery will not affect breastfeeding and the nipple sensation will also be preserved. However, there may be a decrease in breastfeeding capacity or breastfeeding due to a decrease in breast tissue due to surgery and cuts around the nipple.

What needs to be considered before and after the operation?

Before the operation, a series of examinations, including breast ultrasound, are performed to determine whether there are conditions that can prevent surgery, which are evaluated by the anesthetist. The operation time for breast reduction can vary between 3 and 4 hours. The next morning of the operation, you are discharged with a special bra, which you would have to wear for about 4 weeks, and can then return to your everyday life. If you stay away from strenuous exercise and exercise for the first month, and you have to strain your arms, you can avoid problems that may arise due to difficulties in the operating area. Since we use absorbable and subcutaneous sutures, there are no scars in sight and no sutures have to be pulled afterwards. However, your temporary check-ups will be carried out in the first week. The swellings disappear, the breast takes its final and more natural shape after 3-6 months. Although your scars will look swollen and red in the first month, you will find that your scars change to your own skin color and gradually become less visible. If you use the creams that we recommend for about 3-6 months and if you protect yourself from the sun, your scars will be less visible.
