While breast enlargement is one of the most common cosmetic procedures available, more and more women have been turning to the benefits of breast reduction surgery in more recent years. Those with naturally large chests often tend to experience a host of issues and the right procedure can dramatically improve quality of life with few side effects.
Breast reduction surgery (or reduction mammaplasty) is a surgical procedure that aims to remove fat, breast tissue and even skin from the breast area. You may be surprised to learn that breast reduction for men is also widely used, but this can be known as gynecomastia surgery. There are many reasons why both men and women may want a breast reduction - and here is a quick look at the most popular:
Chronic back, neck and shoulder pain
Persistent rashes, bumps, skin irritation, or even boils under the breasts
Nerve pain
Poor self-image
Trouble fitting into bras and clothing
Difficulty participating in sports and other activities
With highly trained surgeons and world-class facilities, Turkey is now one of the top ten destinations for cosmetic medical procedures. As the industry is heavily regulated, those wanting breast reduction surgery will receive comprehensive, quality treatment at a great price. With expert practitioners, scarring will be minimised and the patient will be able to enjoy smaller, more symmetrical breasts at their desired size.
Surgeons in Turkey often require a BMI (body mass index) of around 30-35, and they may ask you about your attempts to lose weight. This is because weight loss can significantly alter the size and shape of breasts, so a breast reduction lift may be more suitable (if drooping occurs). This won’t typically be a concern and will differ for male breast reduction, however.
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthetic and can be done on an outpatient basis. In most cases, incisions will be made in the breast and liposuction used to remove the excess fat or breast tissue. This will often leave an anchor-shaped scar that leads from the areola down, to sit in the fold under the breast.
If you have any queries, consultations with surgeons in Turkey can be performed over the phone or via video call, so don’t hesitate to reach out today.
