BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY: Aesthetic and Health Benefits

Breast reduction surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address health issues arising from breasts being larger than necessary. This surgery provides a solution to alleviate discomforts such as back pain, posture irregularities, fatigue, sweating, and skin problems.

Breast Lift and Breast Reduction:

During preliminary consultations with patients with breast deformities, it may sometimes be understood that breast lift surgery alone can achieve the desired outcome instead of breast reduction. Therefore, the appropriate operation is determined during the patient's examination.

Who Can Opt for Breast Reduction?

Individuals considering breast reduction surgery may include those who:

●       Have breasts larger than a reasonable proportion

●       Experience sagging issues in addition to large breasts

●       Cannot wear desired clothing due to large breasts

●       Experience back, waist pain, and posture irregularities

●       Have restricted physical activities

●       Experience a loss of confidence due to breast size

●       Have orthopedic issues (numbness, loss of sensation, etc.)

How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Excess fat tissues within the breast and excess skin outside the breast are removed, and the size of the nipple is adjusted to the desired level. The operation may also include breast lift procedures to correct breast sagging. The issue of sagging in large breasts is addressed as part of the operation, and stitches are applied. Depending on breast size and patient needs, specialized techniques are used for the reduction process. Stitches may vary based on the technique used but generally leave minimal and aesthetic scarring.

Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery:

●       Reduces Health Issues:
Provides a solution to health problems such as back pain and posture irregularities.

●       Enhances Aesthetic Appearance:
Corrects the unattractive appearance caused by breast size.

●       Boosts Confidence:
Breast reduction surgery can help patients feel better about themselves and boost their confidence.

●       Facilitates Physical Activities:
Makes physical activities easier by reducing large breasts that can restrict movement.

●       Reduces Orthopedic Issues:
Can help alleviate orthopedic problems such as numbness and loss of sensation.

Scars from Breast Reduction Surgery:

The scars formed after the operation are generally in a reversed T shape and tend to fade over time. These scars correspond to the vertical incisions made under the nipple and along the breast. As each patient's breast size and used technique differ, the scars are personalized. However, they usually leave minimal marks, providing the patient with minimal discomfort. Over time, the scars may fade and become barely noticeable.
