Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the size of excessively large breasts in women. Excessively large breasts can cause health problems such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, posture disorders, discomfort during exercise, and dermatitis. In addition, excessively large breasts can limit a person’s clothing options and negatively impact their social life. Breast reduction surgery, performed for both functional and aesthetic reasons, eliminates problems that affect the appearance of the breasts, such as symmetry and sagging. Excessively large breasts can affect women’s self-confidence and have a negative impact on their social interactions. These problems can be corrected through breast reduction surgery.
Breast reduction surgery is performed using the following steps:
Anesthesia: The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia.
Surgical incisions: The surgical incisions are made under the breast and around the nipple. The surgeon removes excess fat tissue and reduces the size of the breast.
Scarring: Breast reduction surgery can cause scarring due to the incisions. However, the surgeon can use various techniques to minimize scarring as much as possible.
Stitches: The surgeon completes the surgery by closing the incisions. The stitches are carefully made to minimize visible scarring after the surgery.
Bandaging: After the surgery, the breast area is usually wrapped in a special bandage for a few days. This helps to reduce swelling and bruising after the surgery.
Breast reduction surgery takes an average of 2 to 4 hours and patients are usually discharged on the same day or stay in the hospital for one night. During the recovery period, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and pain in the breast area. The healing process can vary between 2 to 4 weeks. After the surgery, the breasts have a smaller and firmer appearance. However, it is important to talk to a doctor before the surgery and get information about the risks and benefits.

After breast reduction surgery, patients need to pay attention to some points in the post-operative period:
Rest: It is recommended that patients rest for a few days after the surgery. Excessive activity can make the post-operative period difficult and delay healing.
Medications: It is important to regularly use the painkillers and other medications recommended by the surgeon after the surgery.
Bandages: The breast area is wrapped with bandages for a few days after the surgery. Bandages should be applied as recommended by the surgeon as they help reduce swelling.
Exercise: It is important to avoid strenuous exercise in the post-operative period. The surgeon will tell you which exercises are safe to do.
Wound care: Care for surgical incisions is important to reduce the risk of infection. Your doctor will explain wound care instructions in detail after the surgery.
Regular check-ups: Regular check-ups in the post-operative period are important to monitor the healing process. Your surgeon will provide information on how often you need to come for check-ups.
Smoking and alcohol: Smoking and alcohol use can affect the healing process. It is advised to avoid smoking and alcohol use before and after the surgery.
After breast reduction surgery, swelling, bruising, pain, and discomfort are normal. The healing process can vary for each patient and typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. If you encounter any problems in the post-operative period, do not forget to contact your surgeon.
