Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess tissue, fat, and skin from the breasts to reduce their size and improve their shape. This procedure is ideal for women who have overly large breasts, which can cause physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, breathing difficulties, or skin irritation. At Estetika Plus, we offer professional breast reduction services that help women achieve naturally proportionate and comfortable shapes while improving their quality of life.

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction is a surgery that involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size of the breasts and improve their shape and symmetry. This procedure not only decreases breast size but also alleviates physical discomfort and enhances body proportions. Breast reduction is suitable for women who suffer from physical issues caused by excessively large breasts and for those who feel uncomfortable due to the size and shape of their breasts.

What are the Main Reasons for Breast Reduction?

Physical Discomfort: Large breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, limiting daily activities and deteriorating the quality of life. Breast reduction can relieve these pains.

Skin Issues: Women with large breasts often suffer from irritation and rashes in the folds under the breasts, which can be uncomfortable and painful.

Comfort in Movement: Large breasts can hinder physical activity, sports, and even clothing choices. Breast reduction can make exercising easier and improve self-confidence when wearing various types of clothing.

Aesthetic Reasons: For many women, breast reduction is an aesthetic decision that helps achieve a more natural and balanced body proportion.

How is Breast Reduction Performed?

Breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. There are several techniques for breast reduction, and the choice of method depends on the amount of tissue to be removed and the individual preferences of the client:

Classic Technique (Anchor or "T" Incision): The surgeon makes an incision around the areola, down the breast, and horizontally under the breast in the shape of an inverted "T" or anchor. This type of incision allows for maximal removal of tissue and fat and is suitable for women with significantly enlarged breasts.

Vertical Incision Technique: This technique involves an incision around the areola and down the breast in the shape of a lollipop. It is suitable for women who require a moderate reduction in breast size.

Liposuction: In some clients, especially those needing a smaller breast reduction, excess fat can be removed using liposuction without the need for larger incisions. This method is less invasive and leaves smaller scars.

After removing excess tissue and fat, the surgeon adjusts the position of the areola and nipple to give the breasts a natural shape and symmetry. The incisions are then closed with stitches, and the breasts are bandaged.

Recovery After Breast Reduction

After the surgery, it is common to wear special compression garments that help reduce swelling and support proper healing. In the first few days after the procedure, it is recommended to rest and limit physical activity. Pain and swelling may persist for several weeks, but most clients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Full physical activity, including sports, should be resumed after 4 to 6 weeks.

Results and Long-Term Effects

The results of breast reduction surgery are typically permanent and significantly improve the quality of life. The final results are visible after several months when the breasts fully settle and the swelling disappears. Scarring is inevitable after surgery, but over time it fades and becomes less visible.

As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensitivity, or breast asymmetry. However, at Estetika Plus, we use modern techniques and prioritize maximum care and safety to minimize these risks.
