Breast Reduction Aesthetics

Breast reduction applied for large or sagging breasts, is very effective to achieve the aesthetic appearance of this area which is known as one of the problems that occur due to certain reasons in the breast area, is one of the most important aesthetic concerns for women.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, which is one of the solutions applied for problems such as the breasts being significantly larger than normal and having a saggy appearance, is a technique applied using surgical methods. This treatment method is very effective in the healing process of back and shoulder pains and wounds that occur in underneath the breasts with excessive growth of the breasts.

How is Breast Reduction Surgery done?

The surgery applied to reduce the breasts, which is called reduction mammaplasty in medical language, varies according to the size of the breasts. Many different techniques are used in this surgery, which covers a process of 1.5 to 3 hours on average. Reverse t or lollipop incision methods are among the most commonly used methods in this application, which varies according to the size of the breasts wanted by the patient to the structural condition of the breasts.

This surgery method, which is applied with a focus on the skin or nipple, is applied to women over the age of 18. This surgical process, in which hormones and all the breast tissue must have completed their development, is performed under general anesthesia. The choice of technique in breast reduction surgery performed with the support of different techniques varies according to the size of the breasts, the direction of the nipple, and the structure of the breasts. In the preferred lollipop incision method, the area surrounding the nipple is cut in a circular manner and the excess breast tissue and skin are removed. In the inverted T technique, a T-shaped incision is made underneath the breasts. The procedure is completed after the excess tissue and skin in the breasts are removed.

Breast Reduction Methods

Breast reduction operations, known as an important step in aesthetic surgery, are performed with two different methods. The application of these techniques, called the inverted T and vertical scar method, have some differences. While the nipple and the vertical scar line are preferred in the vertical scar (Lollipop) technique, the reverse T technique aims to complete the procedure by targeting the lower breast area. The success rate of both techniques is quite high.

Before Breast Reduction

Our specialist doctors inform the patient about the process to counter the curiosity and anxiety that occurs in the preoperative process. Among the questions asked during this period, it is of great importance that there is no history of a breast-related disease in the family history. In addition, the use of anticoagulants, smoking and alcohol consumption, which negatively affect the healing process, should be stopped for a certain time before this method is applied with surgical techniques.

This type of aesthetics, which is not only needed for aesthetic appearance, can sometimes be applied for health reasons. In this process, people planning pregnancy should delay this decision stage. This type of operation, which sometimes causes damage to the milk ducts, is therefore not recommended in cases where pregnancy is planned.

What are the Risks of Breast Reduction?

As with all surgical operations, breast reduction also involves certain risks. The first of these risks, especially after surgery, is the risk of infection or, in some cases, bleeding. The sensory part of the nipple can be negatively affected by this type of operation. Those who are in the process of breastfeeding face the risk of halving the milk production potential with this surgical process.

Does  Breast Reduction leave scars?

As in every surgical operation process, it is possible to have scars in breast reduction surgeries performed with incision technique. Generally, after the first two weeks after surgery, special gels and creams are used to reduce the scars under the stitches.

After Breast Reduction

The patient should be kept under observation in the hospital for an average of 1 day after breast reduction aesthetics. The patient is discharged after the drains placed to prevent blood leakage are properly removed and a dressing is made.

It is necessary to come to the follow up visits on the dates determined by the specialist doctor. The patient must rest for one week and strictly wear the special bra recommended by the doctor to accelerate the healing process. This process must be spent very carefully to bring a successful result for this surgical process.

Is there a lot of pain after Breast Reduction?

Minor pain and tingling are observed after the aesthetic operation, which includes surgical techniques, as suture-oriented methods are preferred. It is necessary to ensure the regular use of painkillers recommended by our specialist doctor to avoid exacerbating this discomfort which will heal spontaneously over time.

Does Breast Reduction Cause Cancer?

Breast cancer, which has been increasing in recent years, is a very negative type of disease for women. In the process of breast reduction operation, which is known as one of the aesthetic operations applied to the breasts, no damage is caused that would lead to cancer development. However, a mammography is requested for diagnosis before this operation for those who have  breast cancer in their family genes and for female patients over the age of 40.

What Should Be Considered After Breast Reduction?

It is necessary to rest at home for 3 to 7 days after the breast reduction surgical aesthetic method, which is applied to achieve the aesthetically desired appearance of the breasts. The use of painkillers and antibiotics recommended after the operation provides a very relaxing effect.

Heavy loads and strenuous activities should be avoided for an average of 4 weeks. Edema and swelling in the breast tissue decreases within 4 weeks after this surgery. It takes an average of 1 year for the new appearance of the breasts after this surgical procedure to be finalized. Smoking and alcohol consumption should be stopped to ensure a rapid healing process after this surgery.

Breast Reduction Prices

The price tag, which has a great impact on all aesthetic methods, is also valid for this type of operation. Breast reduction operation prices vary according to the techniques to be applied during the operation, the devices to be used, the choice of specialist doctor and the condition of the application area.
