Even though human nature always wants bigger and more, things sometimes go against nature when it comes to breasts. Breast reduction surgery proves that beauty is strongly related to balance.
Extremely large breast tissue not only causes a visually disproportionate appearance, but also causes skin rash, which we call skin lesion under the breast, back pain, and posture disorders. These are factors that reduce a person’s quality of life in terms of health. There is also the social dimension of this situation, which is the difficulty in choosing clothes, the necessity of wearing a bra all the time, which can be torture for women, especially in summer, difficulties experienced even in light jogging while doing sports and more… In short, excessively large breast tissue is one of the situations that reduces the quality of life of women.
Although many women desire a full and shaped breast form, excessively large breast tissue affects the daily routine of many women due to the problems it creates. Moreover, it makes people look fatter and bulkier than they are.
Even in one of the symbols of femininity, such as breast tissue, elegance disappears when it is excessive.
What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is to surgically remove the excessively large breast tissue and to give the person a breast form that is compatible with the body contours. Breast reduction surgery is an operation performed under general anesthesia, in full-fledged hospitals. Breast reduction surgery, which is an operation that is completed in an average of 2.5 hours, is an operation that relieves women not only physically but also psychologically and offers health and beauty together.
Breast reduction surgery, which eliminates many negativities such as difficulty in finding a bra, skin rashes, bad odor caused by excessive sweating under and between the breasts, and drooping nipples, is an operation that requires a one-day stay in the hospital. patients can return to social life within 5 to 7 days.
What Should Be Done During The Preparation Period For Breast Reduction Aesthetics?
Breast reduction surgery is a very comfortable and reliable operation thanks to the developing medical and surgical technologies. However, like any plastic surgery, breast reduction surgery requires preparation.
Consultation
Our patients who apply to us for breast reduction surgery are first given an appointment for a consultation. The purpose of this examination is to both take the medical history of our patient and to find out if there is a medical condition that prevents surgery, by directing them for the necessary tests. In addition, in the consultation, patients are provided with general information, and a personalized operation protocol is also created.
After taking the medical history of the patients in the consultation, the patients are directed for certain blood tests. tests are requested to see if they have an infection in their body, if they have a thyroid-related health problem etc.
In addition to testing and medical history, if patients are taking blood thinners in pill or ready-to-use injection form like oxapar, ecopirin, aspirin they are informed that the use of these drugs should be suspended about 10 days before the operation under the control of the doctor who prescribed these drugs.
In addition to blood thinners, smoking should be stopped approximately 7 to 10 days before the surgery as it will slow down the recovery period.
In addition to physical preparations, social preparations are also required for breast reduction surgery. For example, since you will stay in the hospital for one day after the operation, although our hospital staff will take care of you closely during this period, having a relative accompany you plays an important role in your psychological support. Therefore, it is important to determine your companion early in the preparation period. Also, if you are actively involved in business life, taking a leave of 1 week to 10 days for the surgery will help you to spend the process much more comfortably.
How Is The Breast Reduction Aesthetic Surgery Day?
Breast reduction surgery is an operation performed under general anesthesia in a full-fledged hospital. On the day of the operation, our patient is visited by our surgeon in the hospital room. Before the operation, our patient is informed about the operation process. In the meantime, if there is any stress or worries about being operated, the questions in our patient’s mind are answered.
It is expected that you will be nervous and stressed on the day of surgery. Although breast reduction surgery is a safe and comfortable operation, stress is expected at the end of the day because it is a surgical procedure.
After general information is given to our patient by our surgeon, a guide is drawn to the chest area in line with the planning made for the surgery, and then our patient is prepared for the operating room by our hospital staff.
The incision to be made in breast reduction surgery may vary according to the surgery plan. Excessively large breast tissue is surgically removed, the nipple (areola) is repositioned and the surgery is completed. Breast reduction surgery, which takes an average of 2.5 – 3 hourscan also be performed in combination with different aesthetic operations such as vaser liposuction and mini tummy tuck surgeries.
In patients applying for breast reduction surgery, the size and shape of the existing breast tissue may not be the same in both breasts. In such cases, different breast reduction protocols can be followed for both breasts.
In breast reduction surgery, after the excessively large breast tissue is surgically removed, the chest area is wrapped all around, as in other breast aesthetic operations. Tight wrapping not only makes patients feel safer and more comfortable, but also reduces the severity of edema. In breast reduction surgery, where you stay in the hospital for 1 day, the first control is made the next day of the operation and then the patient is discharged and sent home. Today, even in the most difficult operations, it is enough to stay in the hospital for 1 day thanks to the developing medical technologies.
What Do Our Patients Encounter During The Recovery Period Of Breast Reduction Aesthetics?
On the first day, first week and second week of the operation, patients are followed closely and called for control. During these controls, the dressings are removed in the first week and the patients wear a special, non-wired bra. This surgical bra is worn for 1 month in almost every breast aesthetic surgery. Thanks to this bra, which is similar to a sports bra, it is easier for the new form of the breast tissue to emerge and the breast to take its final shape.
After the first week, you can take a shower with warm water, but the breast area should not be washed with a loofah, even in order to remove the tape marks. Likewise, it is important not to raise or lower the arms too much while taking a shower.
In the first month after the operation, all heavy sports should be avoided. During this period, short walks are recommended. After the second month, sports can be started, but the chest area should be protected from possible traumas and pressures during this period. After about 6 months, the new breast form takes its final form.
After breast reduction surgery, the new cup size (breast size) of our patients can usually be a B or C cup size. The breast size before the operation is usually D or even larger.
Edema, swelling and mild pain in the chest area are expected in the first month of the operation. All of these conditions can be easily controlled with mild pain relievers and ice compresses.
Since the materials used in all applications and procedures in the health sector, including breast reduction surgery, are priced in foreign currency, there may be differences in breast reduction surgery prices over time due to the exchange rate difference.
