Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery in Turkey offers a transformative solution for individuals looking to reduce the size and weight of their breasts, providing relief from neck and back pain and enhancing self-esteem. This procedure, which can also be combined with breast augmentation for fuller, more enhanced shapes, typically requires 4-6 hours under general anesthesia with a hospital stay of 2 nights and a recommended stay of 14 nights in the destination.

Ideal candidates are those in good health, at a stable weight, and concerned about oversized breasts that may cause discomfort or desire a more youthful appearance post-sagging from aging. Preoperative discussions will cover medical conditions, medications, and realistic expectations for the surgery's outcome. Preparation includes stopping smoking to reduce complication risks.

Post-surgery recovery involves managing temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness, with a return to light activities within days and more strenuous work after 2-3 weeks. Compression garments are worn for up to six weeks to aid skin remodelling.

Risks are minimized through skilled medical care but can include fluid loss, skin injury, infection, scarring, pigmentation changes, and altered sensation. The procedure aims to achieve smaller, better-shaped breasts that alleviate physical discomfort and improve the ability to engage in an active lifestyle, with the added benefit of enhanced self-confidence.
