Breast Reduction in Turkey

What is Breast Reduction?

Factors such as familial predisposition, weight gain, hormonal changes, childbirth, and breastfeeding can cause breasts to overgrow. Women who have sagging breasts and a load in the chest area may have back, shoulder, and neck pain, as well as perspiration and skin rashes. , breathing issues, bone issues, a restriction on physical activity, and trouble dressing. Shoulder depression, redness, and scarring can all be brought on by bra hooks...

The above-mentioned issues are intended to be resolved through breast reduction surgery, which is referred to in medical terminology as "reduction mammoplasty." With this procedure, the breasts' extra skin, fat, and mammary gland tissues are removed, resulting in smaller, lighter, correctly formed, symmetrical, firmer, and more upright breasts. It is possible to reduce the nipples with this surgery. Breast reduction surgery is usually performed not only for aesthetic concerns, but also to achieve physical relief.

Before Breast Reduction Surgery

You may have made your decision for breast reduction surgery. However, your doctor will also want to determine if you are the right candidate for surgery. The patient's family history, patient’s own history and age are among the important factors. If you have a family history of breast cancer, your doctor may want to see your mammogram (low-dose breast X-ray). If you expectations or thoughts about having a child later, you should tell his doctor about them. Your doctor evaluates these data and determines how suitable you are for surgery.

The operation will be doing according the your body measures. For example, the planning for a young patient who wants to have a child and an older patient who does not have the opportunity to have a child may be different. During the surgery, some breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed. Since some of the mammary glands will be removed at this time, different surgical techniques may be required for a patient who wants to have a child and will need to breastfeed. If you pass the pre-preparation process successfully, your surgery and post-surgery will go more smoothly.

After Breast Reduction Operation

1-3 Days After Breast Reduction Surgery

Since you will receive general anesthesia after breast reduction surgery, you can expect to feel tired and sleepy when you wake up. When you are discharged after breast reduction surgery, you will wear sterile dressings and a sports bra to protect your incisions and stitches. Some specialists routinely use drains after breast reduction surgery. It is an effective method to reduce edema (swelling) after breast reduction surgery. When your drain removed at the end of the 48 hours, you can take a shower.
Be sure to pay attention to your post-operative instructions during this time. You will receive prescription pain medications, antibiotics, and instructions on how to care for your dressings. Moving will be difficult, so you can enlist the help of a friend or family member to help you and bathe during these first few days.

After Breast Reduction Surgery 1-2. Week

For 5-14 days after surgery, allow yourself to rest as needed. Your healing body will take a lot of energy. But you can continue to walk small distances frequently. Even if bruises remain for a week, you will notice that your edema begins to decrease.
Generally specialists use dissolvable stitches in breast reduction surgery. At the end of the 2nd week after breast reduction surgery, the specialist cut only the ends (start and end points) of these sutures. At the end of the 2nd week after breast reduction surgery, we begin silicone coating or gel treatments to help the scars heal as well as possible. Be mindful of your movements after breast reduction surgery and avoid lifting heavy objects.

After Breast Reduction Surgery 2-4. Week

Within two to four weeks after Breast Reduction Surgery, you will be able to return to your normal activities, although some movements may cause mild discomfort. It's normal to have itching as your incisions heal. In a week, the swelling is visibly reduced. You still need to wear a soft non-wired sports bra.
During this time, you will be able to continue most of your normal daily activities. Continue to avoid strenuous sports, especially in your chest area.

After Breast Reduction Surgery 4-6. Week

At the end of a full month, your energy will be fully restored, and you will feel relaxed while continuing all typical daily activities. Your fusible stitches will probably be gone by now.

During this time, your doctor will allow you to continue exercising or take a bath. It's okay to go back to your underwire bra for the week. During this period, you will feel comfortable while sleeping on your face or side.

Pain After Breast Reduction Surgery

Pain at the incision sites is normal, immediately after breast reduction surgery. Most patients with reduced chest heaviness, who previously suffered from back or neck pain, will immediately feel relief as the weight is reduced.
It is normal to experience some nausea for the first few days as you recover from breast reduction surgery. Prevent the pain by taking your painkillers when the pain starts, not when the pain increases. After breast reduction surgery, you can reduce or stop your pain medication between 3-7 days.

Is There Any Scar After Breast Reduction Surgery?

As in all surgeries, a scar (suture scar) will occur after breast reduction surgery; however, plastic surgeons use meticulous technique to minimize the visibility and appearance of post-operative scarring. Most scars will be fine and will have minimal visibility over time. Some risk factors for scarring, such as your genetics, age, or skin color, are personal and unpredictable. If you have scars from other surgeries or accidents, you can get an idea of how your body typically creates scars.
However, there are some guidelines you can follow to reduce the appearance of scars after breast reduction surgery:

  • Eat a healthy, protein-rich diet to provide the necessary body building blocks for your stitches to heal after breast reduction surgery.
  • Avoid activities that stretch and widen your stitches.
  • Use silicone gel or cream.

Breast Reduction and Cancer

Typically, mammography and ultrasound are necessary before breast reduction surgery. These examinations are for the purpose of pre-detection of whether there is a risky lesion in the breast in the current situation. Cells that might later cause complications were possibly eliminated from tissues discarded after breast reduction surgery. These tissues, which are taken out of the artery, can be examined pathologically, and checked for dangerous cells. For these reasons, it can be argued that this surgery reduces the risk of breast cancer or at least increases the probability of detection. Additionally, it will now be simpler to perform routine exams on the breast tissue, which has become lighter and thinner because of the procedure.
