Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing large mammary glands that create problems both in terms of health and aesthetics. Disproportionately large and heavy breasts can cause a number of problems, ranging from back pain, poor posture, fatigue, diaper rash under the breasts, to skeletal deformities. In addition, large breasts give an unaesthetic appearance, make it difficult to choose clothes and, at the same time, lead to a loss of self-confidence, which leads women to resort to Breast Reduction surgery.
Breast Reduction surgery can be described as a practice that allows women who complain of large breasts to feel comfortable in every sense.

Breast Lift and Reduction:

In some cases, during a preliminary study of patients who came to us due to breast deformity, it turns out that the desired shape can be achieved not with a reduction operation, but only with a lift. For this reason, it is possible to determine which type of operation will be most suitable for the patient only during the examination. Too large breasts lose their resistance to gravity over time, as a result of which, in most patients, a violation of posture, numbness, and even a loss of sensitivity and strength in the hands can be observed. Given all these data, Breast Reduction surgery will create a beautiful shape of the breast and, above all, improve the quality of life of the patient by relieving discomfort.

Who Can Have Breast Reduction Surgery?

• Those with disproportionately large breasts;
• Those who, in addition to large breast volumes, have sagging;
• Those who have skin diaper rash, back pain and poor posture;
• Those who have large breasts that interfere with physical activity;
• Those who have folds in the back under the bra due to heavy breasts;
• Those who experience a loss of self-confidence due to an unaesthetic appearance;
• Those with orthopedic problems such as hand numbness, loss of sensation, poor posture.

All of these concerns fall into the profile of candidates suitable for Breast Reduction surgery. If you are also thinking about Breast Reduction surgery for one or more of the above reasons, then you can resort to reduction mammoplasty, which will successfully and effectively solve not only aesthetic problems, but also health problems.

How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Breast Reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the operation, excess fatty tissue and excess skin are removed from the breast. At the same time, the areola, which has grown over time, decreases to the appropriate size. By lifting, the biggest problem of large breasts is solved – sagging and then stitches are applied. During Breast Reduction surgery, nipple reduction is performed taking into account the size of the breast and using individual methods for each patient. The shapes of the sutures may vary, depending on the method used, but inverted T sutures are commonly used, which fade over time and do not cause aesthetic problems for patients.

How Many Scars Will Remain After Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast Reduction surgeries are aimed at obtaining the most aesthetic appearance with the least amount of scarring, so such operations must be carefully planned and bring maximum benefit to the health and aesthetic appearance of patients. The scar from an inverted T-shaped incision, performed vertically under the nipple and continuing longitudinally under the mammary gland, fades over time and becomes almost invisible, since its main part is located under the breast. But since the size of the breasts of patients is different, the methods used and the scars from the incisions will also be different. Whatever method is used, the topic of scar-scar is the most important, deserving the most attention, therefore, operations are performed with a minimum number of scars and thus, the most comfortable recovery period is ensured.

Prerequisites For Performing Breast Reduction Surgery:

The planning of Breast Reduction operations is always carried out taking into account both the aesthetic appearance and the health of the patients. Breast Reduction should be performed taking into account age, breast volume, the likelihood of future motherhood and breastfeeding. 

The operation, which lasts approximately 1 hour, is performed with the least number of incisions, is aimed at achieving the sizes previously agreed with the patient and ensuring the most comfortable recovery process. A quick recovery and a trouble-free postoperative period, in addition, have a positive effect on the patient’s psyche. 

Despite the possibility of re-growth of breast tissue as a result of excess weight gain, the breast will never return to its previous preoperative shape and will retain its aesthetic appearance until the end of life. In addition, there are no barriers to breastfeeding after Breast Reduction surgery. The operation is aimed at removing excess fatty tissue, and not the mammary glands. During Breast Reduction surgery, the nipple is moved to the desired area with sensitivity taken into account. 

Maintaining the same sensitivity of the nipple is directly related to the amount of fatty tissue removed from this area, as well as ensuring sufficient blood circulation. Nipple sensitivity is essential for breastfeeding and duct stimulation. In addition, it is mandatory to create symmetry between the mammary glands and nipples.

After Aesthetic Breast Reduction Surgery:

Because the size, symmetry, and degree of sagging breasts vary from woman to woman, the methods used will also differ. However, we primarily provide the most comfortable recovery period due to the minimum number of scars. On average, within a few weeks, scar marks begin to fade. Immediately after the operation, patients feel relief; there is a decrease in pain in the lower back and back, and even their complete disappearance, and other health problems are also solved. Patients receive beautifully shaped, aesthetic breasts.
