Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is a primarily functional and, to a lesser extent, cosmetic surgery that aims to reduce breast size in women by removing skin, fat, and glandular tissue. This way, you can eliminate the discomfort associated with huge breasts and achieve a chest size proportional to the body. If you gain weight or have hormonal changes, breasts may grow back. Over time, looseness will occur in the breast tissue, which changes the breast tissue.

Significant excess weight and smoking increase the risk of complications. If you smoke, you should stop smoking six weeks before and four weeks after surgery. You will achieve the look of your dreams with breast reduction in Turkey. Thus, you will both increase your self-confidence and relieve your discomfort.

Who are Ideal Candidates for Breast Reduction?

Ideal candidates for breast reduction in Turkey are all women who are uncomfortable with the size of their breasts and want to have more aesthetic breasts.

Breast Reduction Procedure

Take a closer look at breast reduction steps in Turkey:

  • Preparation

It would be best if you prepared well for the operation. Your weight should be as close to an average BMI of 25.

Smoking is the leading cause of complications such as infection and tissue death. For this reason, you should stop smoking at least four weeks before the surgery. Different types of drugs can affect the operation and cause bleeding problems. Therefore, in conjunction with the preliminary examination, you will talk to the specialist about how to deal with the drugs you are taking.

  • Anesthesia

You will receive anesthesia for breast reduction in Turkey. Since you will operate under general anesthesia, you must fast in the clinic. You must not eat or drink anything six hours before the meeting time. However, you can drink clear liquids such as water or tea up to two hours before the procedure.

  • Incision and procedure

Incision guidance for breast reduction in Turkey may be different. Which one to choose depends on how much it reduces and how high the nipple rises. The surgeon lifts the nipple area by making it smaller. However, it maintains its connection with the underlying glandular tissue. Thus, breastfeeding is possible later, and the sense of touch damages as little as possible.

  • Final

Your incisions are closed, and the surgeon recommends that you wear a bra suitable for your new size at the end of the surgery. You should wear this bra day and night for the first two weeks and daytime for the next three months.

Recovery After Breast Reduction

After the anesthetic wears off, the nurse will ensure that you take the necessary painkillers to keep your pain to a minimum:

  • Since this is important to limit the risk of blood clots in the legs, you will already have to get up and walk during hospitalization. You will discharge when you feel well after the operation.
  • Our surgeon will give you aftercare instructions.
  • After the operation, you should take 1-2 weeks off work. However, if you have a physically demanding job, you may require up to three weeks of sick leave.

How Much Does Breast Reduction Cost?

The breast reduction cost in Turkey is almost three times cheaper than in the UK, the US, and other countries. However, breast reduction prices in Turkey may vary depending on the surgeon’s experience, anesthesia, and many other factors.

Breast reduction results in Turkey are highly successful. You will have smaller breasts. The result is considered permanent due to the natural aging phenomenon that will always occur over time. But if you gain weight or experience hormonal changes, breasts may grow back. How good the results are will depend on the shape and size of your breasts before surgery.

It would be best to avoid heavy lifting and physical activities for 4-6 weeks after the surgery. The elbows are kept below shoulder level for three weeks after the surgery. It is essential to have a particular sports bra that supports the breasts during this period. This is to ensure the best possible cosmetic result. If the stitches aren’t self-dissolving, they remove after 10-14 days.

It would be best if you didn’t expose your scars to the sun for a year. Sunbathing can make scars more visible.
