Breast Reduction Surgery

What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction is the removal of part of the breast tissue and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breast. Large breasts can cause not only aesthetic but also functional complaints:

• Back, neck and shoulder pain
• Postural problems
• Bra-strap marks on the shoulders
• Skin irritation and a tendency to rashes under the breast

The procedure therefore has both an aesthetic and a functional dimension.

How Is Breast Reduction Performed?

• Excess breast tissue and skin are removed, and the breast is reshaped.
• Various surgical techniques may be used; one of them is the inferior pedicle technique.
• Nipple position and symmetry are considered in planning.
• Duration and anaesthesia depend on the scope.

Who Is It Suitable For?

• Those with physical complaints caused by breast size
• People with aesthetic concerns and suitable general health
• Those planning pregnancy/breastfeeding: This should be shared with the physician, as timing and technique are evaluated accordingly.

Preparation Before Surgery

• Examination, necessary tests and imaging (if needed)
• Clarifying expectations
• Sharing medications and medical history

Recovery and Aftercare

1. First days: Swelling and tenderness may occur; rest is important.
2. First weeks: A recommended supportive bra and care are used; scar management begins.
3. Later period: Scars fade over time and the result gradually emerges.

The return to daily life varies by person and depends on the physician's advice.

Factors That Affect Breast Reduction Pricing

• The technique used and the scope of the procedure
• The amount of tissue to be removed and the reshaping needed
• The person's individual needs and health status

These factors become clear after examination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Reduction

• Will there be scars? The technique involves scars; with proper care, they are intended to fade over time. The scar pattern is explained during examination.
• Does it affect breastfeeding? It may vary by technique and situation; pregnancy/breastfeeding plans should therefore be shared in advance.
• Will my complaints decrease? Functional relief is among the goals; however, the outcome varies by person and is assessed during examination.
