Who are the best candidates for breast reduction?

Breast tissue develops until the end of adolescence. The weight created during and after this period determines the size of the breasts. In some cases, individuals may genetically have large breasts. Whether due to weight gain or genetic reasons, large breasts affect patients both physically and mentally. Especially in adolescence, it can cause people to become introverted, making it difficult to find suitable clothes. Also, large breasts cause rashes and sores. Women with large breasts may have difficulty exercising. In the long run, this causes people to stop exercising and cause them to gain weight. Anyone who has all these negative effects and does not have a health problem to undergo surgery can have breast reduction surgery.

Breast reduction incisions

In breast reduction surgery, the incision and scar vary depending on the method used. Breast reduction generally involves two incisions. For breasts that sag less, a circular incision is made around the nipple.

The other method has an inverted "T" incision and is performed on larger breasts. This scar runs from around the nipple to the bottom of the breast. The scars disappear significantly over time. Especially in women with fair skin, the scar almost disappears over the years. After the procedure, your surgeon shares key points about the scars and things to watch out for.

How is breast reduction surgery performed?

There are surgical techniques that vary depending on the condition of the breasts. The surgeon will decide during the examination which of these techniques is appropriate for the patients with a few measurements.

Breasts can be reduced in the desired amount with the method called the nipple transplant technique. This technique is generally used with very large breasts. It is used in people who do plan to become pregnant. It is not a preferred method due to the loss of feeling in the nipple after the procedure and the risk of preventing breastfeeding.

Another method is to protect the nipple and lift the nipple after enough tissue has been removed. In this method, the breastfeeding function is not affected, because the milk ducts are protected. A breast reduction takes an average of 2 hours, depending on the condition of the breasts under general anesthesia.
