What is Breast Reduction?

Women with disproportionately large breasts may experience discomfort due to shoulder, neck, back, and lower back pain. Over time, large breasts can contribute to hunching of the back, skin irritation due to excessive sweating, and become a source of physical discomfort and self-consciousness.

Breast reduction surgery removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts to achieve a more proportionate size in relation to the body. This surgery can alleviate the pain experienced by women and improve body proportions, thus enhancing their self-confidence.

It should be noted that, like small breasts, large breasts can also be problematic for women. The restrictive effects of large breasts on daily life should not be overlooked. Women who feel discomfort due to the size of their breasts can achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing body shape through breast reduction surgery.

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is performed to improve physical health and achieve aesthetically proportionate breasts. It is a surgical procedure designed for women who are physically healthy, have realistic expectations, and experience physical limitations, pain, or skin issues due to overly large breasts. This surgery aims to reduce the size of the breasts and create symmetry between the two breasts.

Breast reduction surgery can be performed alongside breast symmetry correction and breast lifting procedures. The surgery involves the removal of an appropriate amount of fat, skin, and glandular tissue from the breasts.

A thorough discussion between the patient and doctor before the surgery is crucial. Factors such as the patient’s age, whether they plan to have children, and the size of the breasts will guide the choice of techniques used during the procedure.

How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The amount of fat, skin, and glandular tissue to be removed is planned during the preparation phase before the surgery.

During the breast reduction, incisions may be made in different areas of the breast. The location and method of incision depend on the amount of reduction required and the patient’s skin type. Techniques such as the nipple graft technique or flap technique may be used to reduce the breasts while maintaining proportional shapes.

After making the incision, the nipple may be reduced if necessary, excess breast tissue is removed, and the breasts are shaped. In cases of extremely large breasts, the nipple and areola may be transferred to the upper parts of the breast after reduction.

Once the procedure is completed, the incisions are closed. Scarring will occur but will fade over time, becoming less noticeable.
