Breast reduction surgery is a method among breast surgery procedures. This procedure is performed to reduce the size of
the breast by removing excess breast tissue, fat tissue, and skin. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent or reduce
discomfort such as pain or back and neck pain due to the large size of the breast.
Breast reduction surgery usually takes about 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. During the surgery, the skin and tissues in the lower part of the breast are usually removed. Then, breast tissue, fat tissue, and connective tissue are removed according to the new size of the breast.
Breast reduction surgery is performed on individuals who experience pain or discomfort due to the large size of their breasts. However, in order to determine suitable candidates for this procedure, examinations are needed to determine whether the patient is a suitable candidate.
The recovery process after breast reduction surgery can vary from person to person and can vary depending on the method
used during surgery, the implant material used, and the patient's overall health.
Pain, swelling, and bruising can be seen in the first few days after surgery, and patients may need to use a bra
suitable for their post-operative breast area. Rest is recommended for the first few days, and physical activities may
be restricted. It is important to avoid heavy lifting for the first few weeks, move slowly, and be wary of fatigue.
After about a few weeks, normal activities can be resumed, but complete recovery may take a few months.
