Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty) – A More Comfortable and Aesthetic Appearance
Overly large breasts can cause not only aesthetic concerns but also physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain. With breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty), we reduce breast size and create a more proportionate and comfortable shape that suits the body structure.
Many of our patients often ask about the surgery process, recovery period, and expected results. In this article, we provide detailed information about breast reduction surgery.
What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is a procedure in which we remove excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue to reduce the size of the breasts and reshape them. This surgery allows our patients to achieve lighter, firmer, and more proportionate breasts that enhance their overall comfort and appearance.
With this procedure, we:
✔️ Reduce the weight of the breasts.
✔️ Reshape the breasts to create a firmer and lifted form.
✔️ Reposition the nipples to an ideal position.
✔️ Help alleviate shoulder, back, and neck pain.
✔️ Improve daily movement and physical comfort.
Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery?
This procedure is ideal for patients experiencing physical or aesthetic discomfort due to overly large breasts. Common reasons why our patients undergo breast reduction surgery include:
- Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain due to heavy breasts
- Sagging breasts and downward-facing nipples
- Posture problems and shoulder indentation from bra straps
- Discomfort during physical activities and restricted movement
- Skin irritation, rashes, and discomfort under the breasts
- Difficulty finding well-fitting clothes and feeling disproportionate to body structure
We evaluate each patient's breast structure and expectations to create the most suitable surgical plan.
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
One of the most frequently asked questions is how the procedure is performed. We perform breast reduction surgery under general anesthesia, and the operation typically takes 2-4 hours.
✔️ Removing Excess Tissue and Skin: We remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size.
✔️ Repositioning the Nipple: We move the nipple to a higher, more natural position to enhance symmetry and aesthetics.
✔️ Reshaping the Breasts: We sculpt the breasts into a firmer and more proportionate shape that complements the body.
During the procedure, we take special care to preserve nipple sensitivity and functionality.
Recovery Process After Breast Reduction Surgery
To ensure a smooth recovery process, we closely monitor our patients post-surgery. In general:
- Mild swelling and tenderness are normal in the first few days.
- Most patients are discharged within 1-2 days.
- A special medical support bra is recommended for optimal healing.
- Strenuous physical activities should be avoided for a certain period.
- Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks.
While the results of breast reduction surgery can be long-lasting, we remind our patients that natural changes in breast tissue may continue over time.
