Breast Reduction in Turkey

Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size that harmonizes with your body. Also known as reduction mammoplasty, this procedure aims to alleviate discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
For some women, disproportionately large breasts can lead to both physical and emotional challenges. Physical discomfort may manifest as back, neck, and shoulder pain, along with skin irritation beneath the breast crease. The weight of excess breast tissue can also impede a woman's ability to engage in an active lifestyle. Additionally, some women may experience heightened self-consciousness due to their large breasts.

How Breast Reduction in Turkey is performed?

In the process of breast reduction, typically, three incisions are made. Firstly, there's a circular incision around the areola, the darker pigmented skin surrounding the nipple. Then, a second incision begins beneath the nipple, extending downwards to the base of the breast. Finally, there's an incision along the breast crease, following its natural curve. These incisions mark the areas where excess breast tissue, fat, and skin can be removed to reduce breast size. They also allow surgeons to reposition the nipple. After the excess tissue and skin are removed, the nipple and areola are lifted to a higher position, and the breast is reshaped around them. Usually, the areola is also made smaller to match the new breast size.

Is it safe to have breast Reduction in Turkey?

As with any surgery, there are inherent risks and potential complications, including infection, scarring, and alterations in sensation. The important thing to consider here is a healthcare team that will guide you in line with your wishes.

How long does it take to recover from Breast Reduction Surgery in Turkey?

11 to 3 Days After Surgery:
Immediately following your breast reduction surgery, you will likely stay in the hospital overnight for close monitoring by nurses and doctors. Post-operative pain is generally manageable with intravenous medications, and additional medication can be given for nausea if necessary. The morning after surgery, your bandages will be changed by the surgical team. Once you are ready, you will be discharged to go home. While rest is crucial for recovery, it is also important to move around regularly to aid healing. After two to three days, you can start engaging in light daily activities, such as showering.
21 to 2 Weeks After Surgery:
During the first week post-surgery, you will need to follow specific post-operative care instructions, including getting ample rest and avoiding driving. Your breasts will likely feel tight and swollen, similar to the sensation of milk production during breastfeeding. Despite this, you should still be able to move around without much difficulty. After the first week, discomfort usually decreases, and you can gradually increase your activity level, although you should still avoid strenuous activities. By the second week, you should feel more like yourself, with soreness starting to subside. Most patients take 10-14 days off work to focus on recovery.
33 to 4 Weeks After Surgery:
By this time, you can resume most activities. As the swelling continues to decrease and your body heals, the results of your breast reduction will become more noticeable. Around the three- to four-week period, swelling should be significantly reduced, and you can usually resume most activities. Your final breast reduction results should start to become clear.
44 to 6 Weeks After Surgery:
After the fourth week of recovery, you can generally return to all forms of exercise. While the majority of the recovery occurs in the first four to six weeks, some residual swelling can persist for three to four months. The scars from your breast reduction may take six months to a year to fully heal, during which time they will gradually fade and flatten.

What are the risks or side effects of Breast Reduction in Turkey?

As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications associated with breast reduction mammoplasty. Common issues include pain, swelling, bruising, changes in nipple sensation or position, scarring, and difficulties with wound healing. Rarely, more serious complications such as infection, bleeding, blood clots, or anesthesia-related problems may occur. There is also a risk of damaging the milk ducts or glands, which can affect breastfeeding. It's essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon before the procedure and follow all post-operative instructions carefully to minimize the chance of complications.

Is there an age limit of Breast Reduction in Turkey?

There is no age restriction for breast reduction surgery. The important issue here is that, the breast must have completed its growth phase.
