Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, — also known as reduction mammoplasty —, is a procedure that removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin in order to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your body and alleviates the discomfort associated with excessively large breasts (macromastia).

Large breasts may cause problems such as back pain, postural disorders, fatigue, skin issues under the breast due to sweating, skeletal system deformations and many other health problems. Large breasts alsoprevent women from wearing the clothes they want; this causesa loss of self-confidence.

Breast reduction operations are always planned in consideration for their appearance and health. Age, breast size, child expectancy and likelihood of breastfeeding of the patient must be taken into account before making the decision to perform breast reduction surgery.

Breast reduction operation is performed under general anesthesia. Fat tissues inside the breast and excess skin around the breasts are removed. The enlarged areola is also reduced to a size that is proportional to the final form. Sagging, one of the main problems caused by large breasts, is solved by combining the operation with breast lift procedure and sutures are used.
