Breast Reduction Surgeries

Breast reducing surgeries

Big breasts are generally more of a medical problem than an aesthetic one. Neck and back pain, stance irregularities and hygienic problems are the most important complaints conveyed by the patients. The purpose of breast reduction surgeries is to give the person healthy and aesthetically pleasing breasts, that fit the person’s figure and the size of the chest wall.

This operation improves the life quality of many patients whether it is a visual or a health concern.

Even if it’s thought that these complaints are for older people, young people might also have comfort issues with the size of their breasts. Breast reduction surgery can also be completed safely for younger people.

Complaints of excessive breast growth are often found after pregnancy. However, nulliparous women ( women who have never given birth), who have non-proportional big breasts compared to  their body figure, are very high in number. This operation is one of the operations where the patients age, weight etc. is not a deciding factor. In breast reduction surgeries, the nipples are positioned  at the correct place on the chest. The breasts are given a proportional and compatible look with the body shape.

Even though this surgery is carried out to enhance the patients standard of life and to eradicate any health problems, plastic surgeons also aim to give the breasts an aesthetically pleasing look.

Due to the removal of the excessive breasts tissue, breast cancer risk is decreased.

Most of the techniques used do not harm the remaining breast tissue or the nipples. After the surgery there are no complications related to breast feeding or pregnancy. Breast reduction surgeries can be conducted on patients from the age of 18. The technique is decided upon once the patients breast tissue, skin, nipple etc.is taken into account. The patients expectations, pregnancy expectations and breast feeding needs are important when deciding which method to use.

Breast feeding after the breast reducing surgery

The breast feeding functions might be conserved during operation. If you indicate that you are planning to have a child in the future, this will determine which technique we will perform for the breast reduction surgery. This will be determined during your initial examination.

Scars after breast reduction surgeries?

During your examination, depending on your breast characteristics and your possible pregnacy expectations, the technique is decided. The technique determines the location of the scars and figures. The scars are described as reverse T, L or I figures.

Understandably, women are mostly concerned about the scars. The scars will look like a fingernail mark after a year. After the operation, the aesthetic view and the eradication of back problems and other health issues makes the scars less important. The better the breasts are shaped, the less emphasis that is placed on the surgical scars.

Women who have had this surgery are happy with the new look of their breasts and do not care about the marks. The success of the operation is also very important.

Breast reduction surgery without leaving a scar

Breast reduction can also be done with liposuction. For this, it is important that the patients breast characteristics are compatible. With this method, there is no incision,and thus, no scar after surgery.

Healing duration

These operations are undertaken under general anethesia and in hospital conditions. An overnight stay in the hospital is necessary. After approximately 7 days, you can return to your daily life and routines. For heavy workouts, you should wait for 3-4 weeks to pass.
