Breast Reduction: Not Just an Aesthetic Operation but a Step Toward a Better Quality of Life
Breast reduction is not only an aesthetic procedure but also an important surgical solution that improves quality of life. Large breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, restrict daily movements, and negatively affect a person psychologically. At this point, breast reduction surgery provides both health and aesthetic benefits.
Why Is Breast Reduction Surgery Preferred?
-
Physical Discomfort: Large and heavy breasts can cause significant pain, especially in the spine and muscular system.
-
Difficulty in Clothing: Clothes may not fit properly around the chest area, leading to restrictions in daily life.
-
Social and Psychological Effects: Aesthetic concerns, lack of self-confidence, and posture problems are common issues.
How Is the Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the operation, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed; the breasts are reshaped and given a more lifted form. Different surgical techniques may be applied depending on the patient’s needs.
Recovery Process

The surgery usually takes 2–4 hours.
