Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure focused on alleviating the discomfort associated with large breasts. Causes for large breast size include genetic predisposition, weight gain, hormonal changes, and pregnancy. Many individuals with enlarged breasts face back, shoulder, and neck pain, alongside perspiration, skin rashes, and limitations in physical activities. Additionally, the weight of large breasts can lead to shoulder indentations, redness, and scarring from bra straps.
In Turkey, breast reduction surgery at Rea Estetica addresses these symptoms by removing excess skin, fat, and mammary tissue. The result is smaller, lighter, well-shaped, symmetrical, and firmer breasts that enhance physical comfort and appearance. The procedure can also adjust nipple size to match the new breast shape. Breast reduction provides significant physical relief and an aesthetic transformation, making it a life-changing choice for many.
Preparing for Breast Reduction Surgery
- Assessment and Eligibility
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, age, and personal health. Key areas include:
- Family History: If breast cancer is prevalent in your family, a mammogram may be recommended.
- Future Family Planning: Discuss any future plans for children with your surgeon, as breastfeeding capacity can be impacted.
- Personalised Surgical Planning
Based on body measurements and personal needs, your procedure is fully tailored:
- Diverse Patient Needs: Surgical plans vary depending on age, lifestyle, and desired outcomes.
- Surgical Technique: Techniques are selected based on individual anatomy, ensuring the best functional and aesthetic results.
- Preparation for Surgery
Follow all pre-surgery instructions carefully, including guidance on medications, diet, and other preparations to ensure a smooth experience.
Post-Operative Care
- Immediate Post-Surgery (1-3 Days)
After surgery, you’ll be equipped with sterile dressings and a supportive sports bra to protect the incision sites. Pain will be managed with prescribed medications, and support with mobility is recommended for a smooth initial recovery.
- First Two Weeks
Allow for rest and engage in light activities like short walks to promote circulation. Bruising and swelling will begin to subside. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities during this period to support the healing process.
- Two to Four Weeks Post-Surgery
Discomfort and swelling will continue to decrease. Continue wearing a supportive bra and avoid high-impact activities.
- Four to Six Weeks After Surgery
Most patients resume their daily routines and begin light exercise. With surgeon guidance, you may return to more intensive physical activity and explore different sleeping positions as comfort allows.
Long-Term Considerations
- Scarring: Scars gradually fade with proper care, such as recommended topical treatments.
- Breast Cancer Screenings: Inform radiologists about implants during mammograms to ensure optimal imaging.
- Capsular Contracture: Any discomfort or shape changes should be addressed promptly.
