What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and reshape the breasts. It involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more balanced and proportionate breast size. This procedure is commonly sought by individuals with large, heavy breasts that may cause physical discomfort, back or neck pain, posture problems, or self-consciousness.
Types of Breast Reduction:
1. Traditional Breast Reduction: This method involves creating an anchor-shaped incision around the areola, extending vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the crease. It allows for significant tissue removal and reshaping, making it suitable for patients with more significant breast volume and sagging.
2. Vertical or Lollipop Breast Reduction: In this technique, the incisions are made around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, resembling a lollipop shape. It is suitable for patients with moderate breast volume and sagging, providing a more limited incision pattern.
Before the Operation:
Before undergoing breast reduction, patients will have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will discuss the patient’s goals, perform a physical examination, and take detailed measurements. Medical evaluations and mammograms may be conducted to ensure the procedure’s safety.
During the Operation:
Breast reduction is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make the necessary incisions based on the chosen technique, remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, and reshape the breasts to achieve the desired size and contour. The nipples and areolas may also be repositioned for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The incisions are then carefully closed, and temporary drainage tubes may be placed to assist with fluid removal.
After the Operation:
Following breast reduction surgery, patients will be closely monitored during the initial recovery period. It is normal to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Patients are advised to wear a supportive bra and avoid strenuous activities that may strain the breasts. The surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions on wound care, medication, and follow-up appointments.
Breast reduction surgery in Turkey offers individuals the opportunity to alleviate physical discomfort, improve posture, and enhance their self-confidence. By understanding the procedure, the different types of breast reduction techniques, and the pre- and post-operative care, patients can make informed decisions and achieve their desired breast size and shape.
