Breast Reduction in Turkey

Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure in which excess fat, tissue, and skin are removed from the breasts to obtain breast size proportional to the body. Having large breasts may cause physical and social discomfort such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, restricted activities, and difficulty in choosing clothes. With breast reduction surgery, the discomfort caused by large breasts is eliminated.

How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Before the operation, necessary laboratory tests will be performed, issues such as general health status, medications used, expectations from the surgery will be evaluated and surgery planning will be made. The surgery is done under general anesthesia. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to reduce the size by making an incision in the breast. The incision area is closed by reshaping the breast.

After Breast Reduction Surgery

It is usually necessary to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days after breast reduction surgery.

The breasts are wrapped with a bandage after the operation. Some materials can be placed in the operation area to drain excess blood or fluid. Antibiotics and pain medications may be recommended to reduce the risk of infection and pain. It is normal to have tenderness, swelling, and bruising on your breasts in the first days after surgery. It is generally recommended to avoid physical activity for 2-4 weeks during the recovery period.
