Breast Reduction Surgery
What is Breast Reduction Aesthetics (Mammaplasty)?
Breast reduction, also known as 'reduction mammaplasty', is a type of operation performed depending on the breasts being larger and drooping than normal or the health problems it causes. In other words, breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) can be performed due to aesthetic concerns and health problems. In addition to reducing hereditary large breasts, breast reduction surgery is applied to lift sagging breasts after pregnancy, and to prevent back and shoulder pain due to the size of the breasts, wounds and infections under the breast. Breast reduction surgery can also be performed depending on the feeling of pressure created by the bra straps on the shoulders and the restriction of physical activity. In addition to all these, breast reduction surgery can only be performed on people who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their breasts. The operation, which takes approximately 2 to 4 hours depending on the breast size, is performed by removing the skin and breast tissue using reverse T or lollipop incision methods. After the operation, the person can continue his daily life within a week. Small incision and suture marks that are visible after the operation turn into skin color after about 3-4 months and become indistinct.
