Frequently Asked Questions
It is a surgery that takes about 2 hours. 1 night of stay after the surgery is sufficient. We want the patient to become active and walk on the same day. We recommend that the bra worn during the surgery be worn for at least 1 month.
Breast reduction surgery results in a ring-shaped scar around the nipple, straight down the midline, and continuing along the lower crease of the breast. While its color and shape are more pronounced in the first 6 months, its color will be equal to the skin color towards the end of 1 year, but it will not disappear. During this time, we will benefit from scar removal creams. Surgical scars may vary depending on the person’s genetic factors (keloid predisposition, skin color), habits (smoking) and additional diseases (diabetes).
Decreased milk volume or complete loss of breastfeeding ability in patients after breast reduction and lift surgeries are among the possible outcomes
A few hours after the end of the operation, we want to stand up and walk. If your profession is not performed with intense physical labor, you can return to work within 7 days. After 4 weeks, you can do cardio-heavy sports such as walking and cycling, and after 6 weeks you can start lifting weights.
We recommend quitting smoking 4-6 weeks before breast reduction surgery and not smoking for at least 4-8 weeks afterward.
Patients over the age of 18 who do not expect to breastfeed and who have not been found to be impaired in the preoperative ultrasound examination are suitable candidates for this surgery.
The first 2 days may be relatively uncomfortable, but with strong painkillers, the pain decreases rapidly and the patient regains pre-operative comfort in a short time.
