Breast Reduction for Women in Turkey
Breast reduction surgery is a procedure used to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts. If
you have large breasts, you may choose to undergo breast reduction surgery to alleviate discomfort or to
better match the breast size with your body. Breast reduction surgery can also help improve your self-
image and ability to participate in physical activities.
Ideal Breast Shape
The breasts are important symbols of femininity, contributing to a woman’s beauty and elegance after
puberty. Achieving an attractive and harmonious breast shape is crucial, and the ideal breast should
exhibit the following characteristics:
Breast projection: This natural projection occurs during puberty and is considered normal for
all women.
Breast size: Ideally, breasts should be symmetrical and have a moderate size.
Nipple size: Proportional to breast size, the nipples should be symmetrical and have a natural
color.
Absence of excess hair: Unwanted hair, especially around the nipples, can affect the overall
appearance negatively.
Reasons Women Opt for Breast Reduction in Turkey
Many women choose to undergo breast reduction surgery in Turkey for various reasons related to the
challenges of having large breasts. Some of the common reasons include:
Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain requiring extensive treatments.
Dissatisfaction with the external appearance due to the large breast size, leading to feelings
of embarrassment.
Difficulty in wearing desired clothing, especially bras that provide a balanced body shape.
Allergic reactions and irritation caused by the larger breast size, leading to skin rashes.

Surgical Techniques Used in Breast Reduction at Our Clinic
Our clinic employs various techniques for breast reduction surgery in Turkey, selecting the appropriate
method based on each case’s specifics. The surgical methods involve several essential steps:
Diagnosis and determining the suitable surgical procedure for each case.
Administering anesthesia, either general or partial, depending on the chosen technique and
the expected duration of the surgery.
Creating a surgical incision, usually beneath the breast, to access the targeted area. The size
and shape of the incision vary based on the amount of tissue to be removed.
Removing excess fatty tissue and mammary glands, achieving the desired breast size.
Trimming excess and sagging skin from the breasts to create an aesthetically pleasing shape.
Repositioning the nipple and closing the surgical incision after achieving the desired size.
Minimizing scarring by placing incisions strategically.
Surgical Techniques:
1. Breast Reduction with Periareolar Scarring: This common method retains scars around the
areola, aiming to reduce breast size while lifting and reshaping.
2. Breast Reduction with Anchor Scarring: Involves additional vertical incisions, suitable for
cases requiring extensive reduction and lifting.
3. Breast Reduction with Circumvertical Scarring: Involves vertical incisions without the
horizontal incision at the breast crease, reducing scarring.
Breast Reduction through Liposuction:
This technique is suitable for moderate to large-sized breasts.
Requires minimal incisions.
Leaves no visible scarring.
Ideal for women without excessive sagging.
Aftercare and Recovery:
The recovery timeline for breast reduction surgery is as follows:
After one week: Stitches can be removed, and you can resume daily activities with minimal
signs of surgery unless there is bruising around the eyes, which may take a few weeks to
resolve.
After two weeks: Most facial swelling will have subsided.
After 3-4 weeks: Safe resumption of cardiovascular activities such as running, swimming,
and cycling.
After 6 weeks: Bones are stable, and resistance training can be resumed, along with wearing
glasses and blowing your nose.
After 3-6 months: Numbness in the breast and nipple area should resolve.
After one full year: Complete healing, with swelling fully subsided, and the new breast
shape fully stabilized.
