Breast reduction surgery is a surgical operation preferred by patients who experience aesthetic and physical discomfort due to breast size. With breast reduction surgery, excess fat and tissue in the breast area are removed from the area, the nipple is repositioned, and the breast regains an upright form.
Before the breast reduction surgery, the ideal size of the breast is determined by considering the patient's request and anatomical structure.
Breast reduction surgery, which takes an average of 2.5 - 4 hours, is performed under general anaesthesia. Excess fat and skin tissues are removed from the body by opening small incisions in the area. The breast is lifted and reshaped. At the end of the operation, the incisions are closed and the patient is dressed in a protective corset. The patient is then placed in her room to rest.
After breast reduction surgery, the patient is hospitalised overnight. During this process, she is checked by her doctor. The next day, she can return to her hotel/home. It is quite normal to observe oedema in the operation area for the first few days after the operation. In this process, the patient should take care to rest and follow the doctor's recommendations.
DAY 5-14.
Routine controls of the patient are performed in the first week after the operation. In this process, oedema and bruises have started to decrease. At the end of the 7th-10th day, the patient can return home if he/she lives abroad or outside the city. On the 10th-14th days, the patient can take small walks provided that he/she does not tire himself/herself and can return to his/her daily life.
1ST - 6TH MONTH
In the 1st-6th month after breast reduction surgery, the healing process progresses rapidly. For 1 month, the corset recommended by the doctor should be continued. The region has largely completed the healing at the end of the 2nd month. After the 2nd month, the patient can return to non-heavy sports activities with the permission of his doctor. The patient's monthly controls continue to be carried out with the visuals sent via Whatsapp. The doctor may recommend cream/medication to the patient if deemed necessary.
1 YEAR
The 1st year after the breast reduction operation, healing is completed, the sensitivity felt in the operation area and the surgical scars are minimised. Online doctor controls continue in this process.
