Breast Reduction

Women with large breasts might experience discomfort, and chronic neck and back pain. Additionally, they can be self-conscious when certain types of clothes do not fit them. Women who have problems with the size of their breasts can consider getting a breast reduction and begin a new chapter of their life.

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also called “reduction mammaplasty” is a surgery that reshapes the breasts to make them smaller and firmer. Thanks to modern techniques such as “lollipop”, this surgical procedure creates a more balanced and proportionate body shape and helps to eliminate the pain and discomfort caused by large breasts. Besides improving the overall appearance, breast reduction surgery helps to increase the mobility of the patients.

Breast Reduction Techniques

Breast reduction is the method used for reducing breast size by removing excess fat, breast tissue and skin. During the surgery, an incision under the breasts is made by plastic surgeons and then excess breast tissue and skin are removed to reshape the breast mound. In addition to these procedures, the nipple and areola are moved to a new position to create a more youthful, lifted shape and contour. Therefore, after the breast reduction surgery, the final results are satisfactory.

Who Can Get Breast Reduction Surgery?

Weight gain, hormonal imbalance and post-pregnancy can affect the size of your breasts in an undesirable way. If you want to relieve your neck and back pain due to your large and pendulous breasts, improve your self-image and achieve a more youthful body appearance, then you might consider pursuing a breast reduction surgery. Additionally, you should be in good overall health, at a stable weight and a non-smoker- or willing to quit for a couple of weeks.

Breast Reduction Results and Recovery

Usually, the breast reduction surgery takes 2-4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. After the surgery, you might have to stay overnight in the hospital. You can experience chest discomfort, swelling and bruising for a while, which are normal and expected. A special supportive bra will be provided after the surgery to support the healing process and help reduce the pain and swelling. You will be able to return to work in 7-10 days. During your healing process, you should avoid strenuous exercise and smoking, since aftercare is crucial to ensure the success of the breast surgery.
