breast reduction in Istanbul,Turkey

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery covers a series of surgical procedures to make a smaller appearance for breasts that are too large due to weight gain, pregnancy, or genetic reasons.

It creates serious problems regarding aesthetics and quality of life that women's breasts are too large. Having large breasts for women limits their physical activities, causes pain in the chest and back regions triggers posture disorders, and makes them feel mentally uncomfortable.

How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed in Istanbul,Turkey?

Breast reduction surgery is usually performed by surgically removing excess fat, tissue, and skin by incisions from your breasts.

In some cases, some excision techniques and liposuction may be excellent options for excess fat removal. Liposuction alone can be used in breast reduction if the breast size is largely due to fatty tissue and the excess skin is moderate.

The technique used to reduce the size of your breasts will depend on your situation, breast composition, the amount of reduction you want, and Op. Dr. Mehmet KÖKSAL's recommendation.

After the incision is made, the nipple is repositioned. The dark part (Areola) around the nipple is cut and reduced if necessary. The underlying breast tissue is reduced and lifted, and the now smaller breast is reshaped. After the incisions are closed with sutures and surgical tapes, the boob reduction surgery is completed.

How Long Does It Take to Heal After Breast Reduction Surgery?

The boob reduction surgery operation takes approximately 2-3 hours, and the patient spends the first night in the hospital. It is normal to experience swelling and tension in the week following the boob reduction surgery, but it will pass over time. You can return to normal life within 2-3 weeks after breast reduction surgery. There is no need to remove the stitches as they will dissolve on their own. A special bra is used for six weeks to maintain the breasts' new shape.

Scars are likely to remain after boob reduction (reduction mammoplasty) surgery. This scar, which is red at first, will fade over time. It is possible to minimize these scars with good postoperative wound care.

What Should I Do After Breast Reduction Surgery?

Op.Dr. Mehmet KÖKSAL will explain in detail what you need to do after the surgery. Your breasts are wrapped with a special bandage after surgery, and a special supportive bra is given to be used for a few weeks. Especially in the first two days, you should only rest and avoid sudden movements that will move your breasts in first week. During the first month, you should not do heavy sports and should not neglect to wear a sports bra when you plan to do sports.
