Before the breast reduction aesthetics, you will be thoroughly examined by a plastic surgeon. After taking the necessary measurements, the reduction ratio is calculated to suit your body contours.
Once the drawings are completed, a surgery lasting about 2-3 hours begins using the appropriate technique. After the surgery, thin tubes called drains are left on the sides of both breasts to remove internal fluids like blood or serum. These drains are removed in 24-48 hours, and then you are discharged. During discharge, your first dressing is applied, and you are fitted with a special recovery bra (sports bra), which you will wear for 1-3 months depending on your condition.

You will not experience severe pain after breast reduction surgery; you will use painkillers and antibiotics for 1 week. The return to normal life takes about 48-72 hours, and there is nothing preventing you from moving or doing light tasks.
In the first 10 days after breast reduction aesthetics, edema and the visibility of the incision sites are noticeable. Depending on the duration of the surgery and the incisions made, recovery is relatively easy. The process continues after 10 days as the shape begins to settle. This process in breast aesthetics continues for 3-6 months, and after 6 months, the final results of the breast reduction surgery begin to emerge.

Different techniques are used in breast reduction surgery depending on the patient, and the most common ones are the ‘vertical scar’ and ‘inverted T scar’ techniques.
After an inverted T breast reduction, you will have a T-shaped scar around your nipple and extending below the breast. Although the scars around the nipple are not very noticeable, other scars will fade to your skin color over time, but they will never completely disappear.
In the vertical scar breast reduction surgery, only a scar around the nipple and a shorter scar extending downward remain. These scars are relatively less noticeable compared to the inverted T. However, this technique is not suitable for every patient and is decided during the examination.
The most important step in breast reduction surgery is deciding which technique to apply.

During breast reduction, since some of the milk ducts are also in the removed tissue, there may be a 20% decrease in milk supply during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding may be somewhat affected after breast reduction surgery, but this varies from patient to patient and the structure of your breasts.

After breast reduction, the breasts can be reduced to the desired size according to the patient’s body measurements and shoulder width. Because some patients are very tired of large breasts, they often say, “I want my breasts as small as possible,” during the examination. It is very important to have the reduction done in a way that suits your body contours. If you asked for them to be too small, you might not like the result when you look in the mirror later and wish they were a bit larger. Therefore, if you have decided on breast reduction surgery, my advice is to leave the amount of reduction to your doctor.

Although the risk of complications in breast reduction surgery is very low, some possible situations are:
– Nipple necrosis (darkening and deterioration of the nipple): This is generally seen in people with coagulation disorders, heavy smokers, and diabetics.
– Hematoma, seroma: If bleeding continues in the surgical area, it manifests with redness and pain in the breast skin. However, since there are drains, this bleeding is removed, and this complication is very rare.
– Infection: Since you continue to use antibiotics during and after the surgery, this is very rarely seen.

No, they do not grow back after breast reduction aesthetics. However, if you gain excessive weight or become pregnant soon after, sagging may occur in the breasts.

No, there is no evidence that breast reduction surgery increases the risk of breast cancer. On the contrary, large breasts are among the risk factors for breast cancer. Therefore, it can be said that breast reduction surgery reduces the risk of breast cancer. However, this is definitely not a protection method, and there is no scientific data on this. All women over the age of 35 should have regular mammograms and breast examinations.

It is not correct to give breast reduction surgery prices without seeing and examining the patient. The price of breast reduction varies depending on the surgery and technique to be performed.
