Breast Reduction
Life Time Aesthetic Surgery
Among the methods used for breast reduction, breast reduction surgery performed by plastic surgery specialists is the only method that has the widest range of effect and offers a definitive result.
Although many individuals think that having large breasts is quite advantageous because of their aesthetic appearance, in fact, having large breasts can be uncomfortable in some situations and for some individuals. Because of large breast problems , individuals may face situations such as not being able to dress as they want or having back pain. At this point, operations such as breast reduction surgery can come into play to have lighter breasts. Thanks to these operations, a permanent and definitive result is offered for the problem of large breasts.
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is the most effective and precise method used for breast reduction. During this surgery, not only fat but also secretion and skin tissues in the breast area are removed. With the removal of these tissues, a small and non-saggy breast image is obtained. In addition, liposuction method can also be used during this surgery in individuals with very large breast tissue and high body fat ratio. Thanks to the liposuction method, it becomes possible to reduce the fat tissue more and shrink the breasts more. Breast reduction surgeries are performed by plastic surgery specialists and are performed in a way that does not risk the general health status of the person.
Can Breast Reduction Be Performed Without Surgery?
Weight Loss
Exercising Regularly
Exercising on a regular basis is very important and beneficial for keeping the body fat percentage at an ideal level. By exercising regularly, it is possible to reduce the overall fat content in the body and thus reduce breast tissue. However, breast reduction through regular exercise is a very long process. Keep in mind that there is no exercise that specifically leads to fat burning in any area, including the breast area.
Laser Breast Reduction
Laser breast reduction is a non-surgical method with a reduction effect on breast tissue . In this method, the laser device is placed inside the breast tissue. The laser device melts the fat in the breast tissue with the help of heat. During this melting, the cells break down and the fat content in the breast tissue decreases. The decrease in the fat content also helps to reduce the size of the breast to a considerable extent. However, since only the fat part of the breast tissue is reduced during this procedure, very effective results cannot be obtained. In addition, problems such as breast sagging may also occur after the procedure as the fat rate decreases and the skin tissue remains the same. In such a case, breast reduction surgery is needed for the individual to have breasts that look aesthetic and do not cause discomfort.
Who Can Have Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is applied to individuals whose breasts are too large for various reasons.
Individuals with Very Large Breasts by Adolescence
Some individuals may have very large breasts as their body changes during puberty. Although the factors affecting breast size have not been fully defined, it is thought that factors such as genetic factors underlie this condition. Depending on these factors, individuals with very large breasts as of adolescence may struggle with the problem of large breasts throughout their lives, even if they do not have overweight problems or a condition that causes hormone fluctuations. This situation can cause both physical and psychological discomfort during adolescence. In such a case, it may be necessary to resort to breast reduction surgery as methods such as weight loss will not solve the problem.
Individuals Who Have Survived Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Period
Due to some hormone fluctuations during pregnancy and breastfeeding, there are some changes in the breasts such as increased volume and darkening of the areola. These changes are very important for the expectant mother’s body to get ready for breastfeeding. In addition, changes in the breasts usually continue throughout pregnancy, reaching a peak at the beginning of the breastfeeding period and ending as the end of the breastfeeding period approaches. This is why most women’s breasts, which have grown throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, return to their original size after the end of breastfeeding.
However, in rare cases, some people’s breasts may not return to their previous size even after breastfeeding and hormone fluctuations end. In such cases, the individual may suffer from the problem of large breasts and may even become alienated from her own body. At this point, breast reduction surgery may come into play and the large breast problem that the person is uncomfortable with can be solved permanently and definitively. In addition, thanks to the techniques used in breast reduction surgery, the sagging problem that may occur after breastfeeding can also be controlled.

Individuals with Hormonal Diseases
Hormonal disorders sometimes affect one or more specific hormones, but sometimes they can affect all hormones. Health problems that are especially effective in the secretion of estrogen and prolactin hormones can lead to enlarged breasts. Due to such health problems, even if the individual does not have overweight problems and does not have any pregnancy history, she may witness that her breasts grow too much and produce milk.
Individuals who have large breast problems due to hormonal diseases should first get rid of these diseases with methods such as hormone treatments. However, in some cases, even if the individual gets rid of hormonal diseases and hormone fluctuations, the problem of large breasts may be permanent. At this point, if a method that offers a definitive and quick solution such as breast reduction surgery comes into play, the problem of large breasts that the individual is uncomfortable with will disappear.
Individuals with Overweight Problems
Individuals with overweight problems are individuals with a high body fat ratio. A high body fat rate leads to a high fat rate in the breast tissue. As the fat rate in the breast tissue increases, a noticeable increase in volume begins. Therefore, the majority of individuals with overweight problems also experience large breast problems. Individuals who have large breasts due to overweight and are uncomfortable with this situation can undergo breast reduction surgery as a result of various controls. However, if the individual is planning to lose weight in the near future, it is recommended to complete the weight loss process before undergoing surgery. In this way, small and erect breast appearance can be made permanent.
Who Cannot Have Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is not performed on women who are planning to become pregnant in the near future or women who are pregnant and breastfeeding. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, breast tissue is very sensitive and the volume continues to increase. Therefore, breast reduction surgery during such processes can be both dangerous and does not give any results in terms of having aesthetic breasts. In addition, individuals with wound healing problems and breast diseases cannot undergo breast reduction surgery. Performing breast reduction surgery on these individuals can lead to very dangerous situations. Therefore, before deciding to have breast reduction surgery, you should consider whether you belong to these groups and share the necessary medical information with your doctor. Otherwise, breast reduction surgery may not be a beneficial operation for you, but an operation that puts your general health at risk.
