Breast tissue develops until the end of adolescence. The weight gained during and after this period determines the size of the breasts. In some cases, individuals may have large breasts genetically. Whether due to weight gain or genetic reasons, large breasts affect patients both physically and mentally. Especially in adolescence, it may cause people to become introverted, make it difficult to find suitable clothes. Also, large breasts cause rashes and sores. Women with large breasts may have a hard time exercising. This, in the long run, causes people to stop exercising and cause them to gain weight. Any individual who has all these negative effects and does not have a health problem to prevent surgery may have breast reduction surgery.

In breast reduction surgeries, the incision and the scar vary depending on which method is used. In breast reduction surgery, there are generally two incisions. With breasts that have less sagging, a circle-shaped incision around the nipple is made.
The other method has an incision shaped like an inverted “T” and performed on larger breasts. This scar extends from around the nipple to the bottom of the breast. The scars disappear significantly over time. Especially in women with white skin, the scar almost disappears over the years. After the procedure, your surgeon will share important points about the scars and the things you need to pay attention to.
There are surgical techniques that vary depending on the condition of the breasts. The surgeon will decide which of these techniques are suitable for the patients with some measurements during the examination.
Breasts can be reduced in the desired amount with the method called the nipple graft technique. This technique is generally used in very large breasts. It is applied in people who do plan to have a pregnancy. It is not a preferred method because of the loss of sensation in the nipple after the procedure and the risk of preventing breastfeeding.
Another method is to protect the nipple and lift the nipple after removing sufficient tissue. In this method, breastfeeding function is not affected since milk channels are protected. Breast reduction surgery takes an average of 2 hours depending on the condition of the breasts under general anesthesia.
Breast reduction costs vary between £4500 and £6500 in UK and Europe. It just includes treatment. With the consultation and aftercare support, the prices can increase by about £400 – £800.

After the operation, a special bra is used. This bra is used for the first 3 weeks until the wounds heal. After 3 weeks, patients can start wearing their own bra.
In the first 10 days, the breasts may appear larger due to edema.
After 10 days, edema and bruising will be almost disappeared.
Patients can easily return to their daily lives and jobs after 10 days.
Surgeon and patient decide jointly how much tissue will be removed during breast reduction surgery. Some people want their breasts to be reduced as much as possible, while others do not. It is very important here that the surgeon and the patient have a mutual decision. After the necessary measurements and planning, excess tissue is removed and the breasts are reduced.
The most important factor that affects the permanence of the result of the operation is reaching the ideal weight before the plastic surgery to be performed anywhere in the body. If weight loss is planned after breast reduction surgery, it is important to have a more proportional breast to the body after the operation.

There is mild pain in the first 2 days after the procedure. This pain can be kept under control with effective painkillers during and after this period.
Depending on the techniques used in breast reduction surgery, breastfeeding function may be affected. Techniques to protect milk ducts are used for patients with a pregnancy plan after the procedure.
After removing enough tissue during breast reduction surgery, the remaining breast tissue and nipple are moved to the place they should be. In this way, while the breast is reduced, it will also be lifted.
There is a certain scar depending on the technique to be used in breast reduction surgery. However, whatever method is used, the scar will become a thin white mark that will fade in a long period.
Breast tissue can grow again as a result of abnormal weight changes and pregnancy after breast reduction surgery. Therefore, weight control after the procedure is important.
