What is breast reduction in Turkey?

Breast reduction is a surgery known as reduction mammoplasty and it aims at making the breasts smaller in size with the help of a plastic surgeon. This is wonderful for those who feel that they are too big-busted or those who want to achieve proportionality. It entails the process of resectioning the undesirable tissue and skin together with the alteration of the breast size and shape. Breast reduction complications as a result of the surgery are rare but may comprise scarring and alteration of sensation of the area for some time. Breast reduction surgery is a popular procedure in Turkey for several reasons; the affordable breast reduction cost, experienced surgeons, and good health care services.

Candidates for breast reduction in Turkey

This surgery can be done if you are dissatisfied with your breast size if you have uneven breasts, if folds begin to form on your breast skin, or if your breasts have begun to sag. Good candidates experience back, neck, or shoulder pains due to the size of their breasts. The breast reduction procedure also assists if you are having skin rashes or irritation specifically in the under breast area. For women who have complications when it comes to exercising due to their breast size, this surgery is beneficial. People who have problems finding clothes or fitting them because of their large breasts, or who are negatively affected psychologically, often choose this surgery to have smaller and firmer breasts.

What are breast reduction benefits?

Generally, I witness my patients experiencing the following breast reduction benefits.

Alleviation of persistent pain: After surgery, breast reduction provides relief from chronic pain in the lower back, neck, and shoulders particularly when the problems are recurrent.

Improved posture: The procedure enhances an individual’s posture, and he or she stands straighter, thus promoting correct spinal function.

Ease in finding clothes: Patients can find suitable clothes that fit them well hence enhancing their appearance and satisfaction with the clothes they are wearing.

Enhanced physical fitness: The surgery also enhances physical fitness levels and muscular flexibility that enables one to participate in any physical activities including sporting activities.

Reduction of skin issues: There is a significant reduction in skin-related problems especially rashes and skin irritations especially around the breast region and the skin health is enhanced.

Correction of breast asymmetry: Breast reduction surgery helps in dealing with the issue of breast asymmetry and thus ensures that the breast becomes proportional.

Reduction of bra discomfort: It eliminates the inconvenience that is experienced by women with large breasts whereby the straps of the bras cut into the shoulders.

Better body proportions: It changes the ratio of the limbs and the torso and thus helps to reduce the disproportion in the figure.

Enhanced quality of life and appearance: In general, breast reduction surgery can be said to bring a marked improvement in the quality and quality of life. This means that patients end up having improved appearance and this boosts their self-esteem after the surgery.

What should I do before breast reduction surgery?

Here are the things I usually advise my patients to do before breast reduction surgery:

If you are preparing for breast reduction surgery, I advise you to quit smoking for at least 2 weeks before the surgery. Smoking slows your body’s ability to heal and leads to breast reduction risks. It is also important to avoid consumption of alcohol during this period since it has an effect of altering the way anesthetic works which is very vital in your recovery process. A week before the operation, avoid taking aspirin or other products, which thin blood and cause more bleeding. On the day of surgery nothing should be consumed for the proper anesthesia and to prevent any anesthesia complications. If you have any health complications such as heart problems, diabetes, or hypertensive inform your surgeon. They may request you to undergo some tests, for instance, a mammogram, to ascertain that you are fit. One can also improve how he or she can recover by eating good food and maintaining a good body weight. Lastly, prepare all the things that you will need after the surgery and arrange for somebody to fetch you after the operation.

How is done breast reduction surgery?

Here’s how I perform breast reduction surgery step-by-step:

Marking: In the first place, I begin by marking of incisions regioes of your breast on the skin with ink. This way I know precisely where to cut and how much tissue I would be removing so that everything will match.

Anesthesia: Regarding the anesthesia, I use general, so you remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible during the surgery.

Incision types:

Anchor incision: This is the most extensive kind of surgery with cuts made in a circle around the areola, from top to bottom reaching the direction of the breast line and from left to right in a horizontal manner.

Lollipop incision: This concerns a circular cut at the areola and a straight one from the middle of it down to the inframammary fold.

Donut incision: In cases where the decrease is not very large, the cut is made only on the area of the areola.

Tissue removal: Then, I take out all the remaining breast tissue, fat, and skin that can be taken out so that it arrives at a size that would be perfect for your body.

Reshaping: After the tissue removal I re-sculpt the remaining breast tissue and relocate the nipple and the areola to a peakier position.

Areola adjustment: The areola can also be made smaller where needed to make a pair with the new breast size.

Closing incisions: To reduce the extent of scarring I suture the incisions after making them.

Dressings and support: After the surgery, you will be recovered and then shaped by a specially designed bra to adequately accommodate the surgical procedure.

Surgery duration: The whole process normally lasts up to 2 to 3 hours.

Recovery instructions: I will explain everything in detail about what you need to do and what not to do to make your recovery as comfortable as possible.

What should I do after breast reduction surgery?

First of all, do not forget about the support bra that should be worn as instructed. This will help in minimizing swelling and also help your breasts regain proper shape as they heal. You should take all your pain medications as advised so that you can be comfortable and able to move around so that you avoid complications. Your incisions should be cleaned and kept dry—do not let anything get on them, or get them wet, as your surgeon instructed you. They should also look out for signs of infection among the patients such as any changes in the discharge or smell. While sleeping keep your upper body a bit raised to minimize the accumulation of fluids and pressure on the area that was operated on.

For the first 4-6 weeks the patient must not lift anything heavy or engage in any rigorous activity; however, walking is recommended to help with circulation. Make good food choices, ensure you take a lot of water, and avoid taking foods that would slow down your healing process. Also, you should not take cigarettes whether it is personal smoking or passive smoking as they will hinder your recovery process. To keep your wound area comfortable for you and your baby during the first few weeks after giving birth, please do not carry your young children during the initial healing period.

How painful is breast reduction?

There is no pain felt by a patient during breast reduction surgery since the procedure is done under general anesthesia. After the surgery is performed, and since the anesthetic effect wears off a few hours later, you are likely to feel some initial pain that is tolerable to moderate. Since this is a surgical procedure some swelling is expected and may cause pressure on the nerves resulting in pain. You should take pain relievers prescribed by a surgeon for this to be done. Ice packs can also be applied to the affected areas to minimize swelling and also prevent extreme pain. In this case, you should also see your surgeon if the pain is not getting better.

Can breast reduction be combined with other surgeries?

Yes, the process of breast reduction can be performed in conjunction with other surgical operations.

Another frequent association is with a breast lift (mastopexy) procedure to not only downsize but also reshape and firm the breast tissue. Another reason some patients also request liposuction is to perfect the shape and eliminate fatty tissues in some specific areas such as the sides or the back. This is because the combined surgery is in a way faster since one is undergoing more than one surgery at a time hence cutting the overall recovery time. Another common surgery is the abdominoplasty, or what is referred to commonly as the tummy tuck, which helps restore the proportional figure. Many of these can be mixed and matched and your surgeon will be able to guide you on which combinations will give the desired results.

Are breast reduction scars permanent?

Yes, breast reduction scars are permanent.

Most of the time, the ones that are left behind are significantly less noticeable as time goes on. Surgeons try as much as possible to produce cuts in areas that are not easily seen or areas where scars are easily disguised. At first, the scars are red and more raised and larger, and with time they become less raised and have less color intensity. Some of the factors which influence the formation of a scar and its appearance include the skin type, age of the person as well as the rate at which the body heals. The use of silicone sheets or gels and avoiding exposure of the scars to the sunlight after the operation will greatly reduce the chances of developing observable keloids. The majority of patients report that they observe an improvement in the appearance of the scar that they even almost disappear.

Do breasts grow back after reduction?

No, contrary to what most people think, breasts do not grow back once they have been reduced. But, certain reasons including; massive weight gain, hormonal fluctuations, or pregnancy may lead to an increase in the bust size after the surgery is done. What is left of the breast tissue after the operation can still be influenced by some of these factors and hence experience some measure of growth. One is expected to keep off any unnecessary weight and ensure hormones are regulated to ensure the surgery’s outcome is not altered. You should consult your doctor if there is any doubt regarding future modifications to your body. In this way, it is easier to decide about the further consequences of breast reduction surgery.

Why is my stomach bigger after breast reduction?

Several patients feel that their stomach looks bigger after a breast reduction because of changes in the balance of their figure. When the breasts are made smaller the size of the abdomen in comparison to the breasts can become more apparent if there was some previously existing protrusion. The reason for this change in the balance of the upper and the lower body is the visual illusion. Further, the surgery may cause swelling and this may cover the stomach region thus causing the stomach to appear bloated for some time. Even after the procedure, other factors such as posture may change afterwards hence leading to changes in the looks of the abdomen.

When can I wear a normal bra after breast reduction?

One can start wearing a normal bra after about 6 to 8 weeks of having the surgery done for breast reduction.

Such waiting is essential to allow new skin formation and the reduction of swelling which may be caused by surgery. For the first few weeks, it is advisable to wear a surgical bra or any other type of bra that is non-underwire to minimize pressure on the delicate tissues. If you wear a normal bra too early, this may place tension on the incisions, hence increasing the risk of delayed healing or scar formation. At 6 to 8 weeks your surgeon will then examine your incision and allow you to return to the use of a standard bra. But, it is recommended to wear the properly fitted supportive undergarment to support the bust and your outcome.

At what age can you get a breast reduction?

The best age to talk about breast reduction surgery should be when the patient is at least 18 years and above because breast development is fully determined at this age. It makes it even more important not to do anything in the initial stages because the breasts may still be responsive to hormonal changes. Still, the surgery is possible, and safe, later in life, or in middle-aged women, to correct such problems as back pain or back discomfort. The most important thing is that the amount of breast tissue does not increase further and reaches the maximum size, giving the best results. Some of the things that doctors often recommend are that to decide when to get the operation done, it should not only depend on the physical development of the person but also the medical history of the person. Discussing with a surgeon means the timing is right for the patient’s condition at the moment and in the long term.
