Breast Reduction

Who must have a breast reduction surgery?

Women over 18 years old with big and sagging breasts are suitable candidates for breast reduction and breast lift (mastopexy) operations.

Breast reduction operations are procedures performed for both aesthetic and health purposes. It is the most common aesthetic operation in our country. It is considered to be an aesthetic operation; however, it is actually a health problem that may cause unbearable neck, back and low back pains and even dropped shoulders.

The effect of gravity, rapid weight gain and loss, or pregnancy causes both sagging and deformation in the breasts. Having big and sagging breasts can be a problem affecting the social, physical and personal lives of the patient. Women with big breasts (and particularly young women) change their walking style and prefer wearing loose fit clothing to conceal their body.

Surgical scars differ depending on the size of the patient's breasts and the surgical technique. Depending on the breast size and the degree of sagging, the surgery remains a scar around the areola that extends vertically down to the inframammary fold (in the shape of a lollipop), or a horizontal incision along the inframammary fold that is connected to the areola (inverted T-shaped scar). The length of the scar varies depending on the breast size and the degree of sagging as well as the elasticity of the patient's skin. In the course of time, all of the scars become indistinct and hardly noticeable.
