Breast reduction

Breast Reduction Surgery 

Breast development begins during adolescence and continues until the end of the reproductive years. Factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding, aging, and significant weight fluctuations can lead to changes in breast size and sagging. Breast reduction surgery is a preferred type of operation, especially for women with large breasts, to alleviate issues such as neck and back pain. 

The operation is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting around 4 hours, and involves a pedicle reduction procedure. Preserving the nipple and milk ducts, an overnight stay in the hospital is required. Potential risks after the operation include early hematoma (accumulation of blood) and long-term risks of necrosis (tissue death) in the nipple and areola area. When performed by experienced surgeons, the risk of these complications is minimized. A follow-up examination can be done on the 7th day, and a return to social life is possible around the 10th day. Swelling that occurs in the early period will gradually subside, and the breasts, initially appearing tight and upright, will attain a natural appearance. A special bra worn after the operation should be used for 1 month, and heavy arm movements and intense sports should be avoided for 2 months.
