When the increase in breast cancer recently is considered, it should be taken into account before all operation even plastic surgeries and all patients older than 40 should undergo pre-op breast ultrasound or mammography.

Breast reduction operation is carried out under general anesthesia and lasts 22 hours. In the operation, basically 2 types of incision are used depending on breast tissue. First of them is vertical incision (around nipple and a vertical line downwards), and the other one is inverted T incision (as an addition to vertical line, an additional line under the breast). While inverted T incision is used for sagging and big breasts, vertical incision is used for cases where tightening is aimed rather than reduction. For the patient who have excess fat in armpit and at the side of breast, additionally liposuction is applied. At the end of the operation, a bra, produced for operation, is worn by the patient, the patient is taken to the bed and stays at the hospital for the night.

Patients are discharged in the morning after surgery. Patients can take shower 48-72 hours after the operation and can start to work at least one week later. First examination is carried out in the first week after the operation, and suture lines are controlled in this examination. The special bra is used for 3-4 weeks after the operation and the patients can start to use any bra preferred by them. Final result of the operation appears after 3 months when edemas recover.

In brief, breast reduction operation causes less pain and much patient satisfaction. A breast reduction operation, carried out for correct patient and with correct technique, is the best solution to enable the patient get rid of physical problems and breast appearance.
