End Back and Neck Pain: Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
End Back and Neck Pain: Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
When breast aesthetics are mentioned, augmentation procedures usually come to mind first. However, excessively large and heavy breasts are a severe health and quality-of-life problem for women, rather than just an aesthetic concern. Following genetic factors, excessive weight gain, or pregnancies, breasts can reach abnormal sizes. This massive weight creates constant pressure on the spine, causing chronic neck, back, and lower back pain. Bra straps cutting into the shoulders causing grooves, skin irritation (intertrigo) under the breasts, and sweating problems turn the patient's daily life into a nightmare. Moreover, constantly trying to hide this situation by wearing baggy clothes leads to a serious loss of self-confidence and a hunched posture.
At Op. Dr. Buğçe Güney's clinic, we free you from these heavy burdens weighing on your body with a single operation. With Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty) surgery, we not only achieve an aesthetic and lifted appearance but also give you back your health and freedom of movement.
Both Reduction and Lifting: How is the Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction surgery is not just the removal of excess tissue but a comprehensive reshaping procedure where the breast is restored to its ideal form:
- Removal of Excess Tissue: During the operation, the excess fat, glandular tissue, and sagging skin that give the breast that massive weight and volume are carefully removed to suit the patient's body proportions (shoulder and rib cage width).
- Repositioning the Nipple and Lifting: The nipple (areola), which sags downward due to weight, is moved to its ideal anatomical position (upward). The remaining healthy breast tissue is shaped and suspended upward as if supported by an internal bra.
- Personalized Planning: The amount of reduction is planned entirely specifically for the person, considering the patient's expectations and body structure. The goal is not the "smallest possible" but the "most harmonious and natural" breast for the body.
Recovery Process, Scars, and the Feeling of Relief
After this operation, which takes an average of 2.5 to 3 hours under general anesthesia, you will be comfortably hosted in our hospital for 1 or 2 nights. The very first moment you wake up and stand up after the surgery, the feeling of lightness from that massive burden lifting off your shoulders and back is priceless! Using the special medical bra provided after the operation for 3-4 weeks accelerates the reduction of edema.
Depending on the breast size, "Inverted T" or "Lollipop" shaped incision scars are planned to stay inside a bikini and fade to your skin color over time. In just 1-2 weeks, you can return to work, confidently wear those tight clothes you've always wanted for the first time in your life, and start exercising without pain.
If you want to get rid of this heavy burden on your shoulders and start life anew with lifted, light breasts, you can schedule an appointment with Op. Dr. Buğçe Güney for your breast reduction planning right now.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person. It is recommended to get a detailed consultation from your physician before the procedure.
