What is Breast Reduction In Turkey?
Breast reduction (mammoplasty Turkey) is performed both for women who have large breast that cause discomfort, pain, or other medical problems and for men who want to get rid of that unsatisfying look.
The plastic surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size of the breast. The dark area around the nipples and areola is also reduced in size to achieve a more natural look.
How Much Does Breast Reduction Surgery Cost in Turkey?
The cost of Turkey breast reduction surgery is rather low compared to other countries, and making it an excellent option for patients looking for affordable plastic surgery.
The reasons, such as governmental incentives for medical tourism, the differences in exchange rates, the lower cost of living, and the cheaper workforce, provide people from all over the world with more affordable prices.

Good Candidates for Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction is a very common procedure performed in Turkey, and anyone desiring a breast reduction in size is likely appropriate for the treatment as long as they are healthy enough to undergo any form of surgery. During your preoperative consultation, your plastic surgeon makes a thorough examination.
Considering your case and expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, a surgeon will decide if you are a good candidate for the surgery. Our surgeons recommend our patients to be at or close to their ideal weight and not lose the size and shape of newly operated breasts. They also decide what size and shape best fits your body. If you experience one or more of the following signs and symptoms, you might be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery:
- have large breasts that cause physical discomfort;
- have skin problems like rashes under the breasts;
- have posture problems due to the weight of your breasts pulling your shoulders forward;
- have difficulty exercising, which can lead to a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain;
- feel embarrassed or unassured.
What Is Female Breast Reduction?
Women with large breasts mostly suffer from discomfort that limits their daily activities. Additionally, they could experience bra strap grooving, upper back and neck aches, and rounded shoulders. They sometimes have asymmetry problems that make them feel embarrassed about their appearance. Having large breasts causes women to lose self-confidence and need female breast reduction for cosmetic concerns.
What Is Male Breast Reduction?
Men sometimes have large breasts because of hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight gain, or other special cases. To get rid of this unsatisfactory situation, men can benefit from this common surgery—male breast reduction—in Turkey. Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is considered a safe and effective procedure with a high satisfaction rate among patients in Turkey. If men have extra fat and tissue under their nipples, gynecomastia gives them the chance to get flatter chests.
Breast Reduction Procedure in Turkey
Breast reduction surgery in Turkey is a common procedure that is performed by experienced plastic surgeons in state-of-the-art clinics using the latest methods and technologies. The procedure generally takes 2-4 hours to complete and is performed under general anaesthesia.
The surgeon has three options for incisions during the reduction procedure: around the areola, vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the underside of the breast, or by following the breast’s natural curve. To achieve a more natural look, the nipple and areola may also be displaced. Patients may have oedema, bruising, and soreness following surgery, although these side effects can be treated with painkillers. They may wear a medical bra for a few weeks to support the breasts during the recovery time.
Breast Reduction Techniques in Turkey
There are several breast reduction techniques that are generally used in Turkey, including liposuction for reduction, vertical breast reduction, and anchor breast reduction. The technique that will be used depends on the patient’s requirements and expectations, as well as her breast size, shape, and extent of drooping.
Liposuction For Breast Reduction
Liposuction can be used as a breast reduction technique for certain patients with good skin elasticity and minimal size drooping. Small incisions are made during the surgery, and extra fat is removed using a thin tube. The benefits of using liposuction for breast reduction include smaller incisions, less scarring, and a shorter recovery time in comparison to traditional reduction surgery. However, it is important to note that liposuction alone may not be enough to achieve the desired results, especially for patients with more severe breast drooping.
In some cases, liposuction may be combined with vertical or anchor breast reduction techniques to remove excess breast tissue, skin, and fat. This combination can provide more comprehensive results and improve breast shape and size.
Vertical Breast Reduction
Due tothe incision’s lollipop- or keyhole-like appearance, vertical breast reductions are often known as “lollipop” surgery. For our female patients who require a minor decrease in breast size and have more noticeable drooping, treatment is usually a useful option. The procedure involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the crinkle under the breasts. This incision enables the plastic surgeon to contour the breast and remove extra tissue, fat, and skin.
The benefits of the vertical technique include less scarring and a shorter recovery time compared to anchor breast reduction.
Anchor Breast Reduction
Anchor breast reduction, also known as the inverted-T technique, is generally used for patients with larger breasts and more considerable drooping. During the surgery three incisions must be made: one around the areola, one up the breast crease from the bottom of the areola, and one along the bottom of the breast crease. Our plastic surgeons perform an anchor breast reduction if the patient needs the greatest amount of tissue removal and breast reshaping.
Our patients do not need to worry about the scarring, as they can hide them under their bras or bikinis. As long as you follow the instructions about postoperative care, these scars will fade in time.
Breast Reduction Recovery In Turkey
The recovery process may vary depending on the technique used, the extent of the procedure, and how you follow the instructions your surgeon gives you. However, this process will be smooth and last only about 2 weeks.
Your plastic surgeon will provide with medicines you can use after surgery to relieve any discomfort or agony. For a few weeks following surgery, you must wear a surgical bra or another special garment to help with oedema reduction.
Patients should avoid all strenuous exercises and lifting heavy objects for at least 4–6 weeks after surgery for proper healing. Most patients can return to work and their daily routines within 1–2 weeks after surgery, although this may vary depending on the patient’s healing process and the extent of the procedure.
For at least 6 to 8 weeks following surgery, you should refrain from engaging in any activity that could place pressure on your breasts, such as lying on your stomach.
Regular follow-ups with your plastic surgeon in Turkey will be arranged to follow your recovery process closely and ensure that any implicit complications are identified and addressed instantly.
- Our patients need to follow all postoperative instructions given by our plastic surgeons in Turkey to ensure a safe and successful recovery. Any complications or unusual symptoms should be reported to the surgeon immediately.
Possible Side Effects of Mammoplasty
Possible side effects of breast reduction surgery in Turkey are generally temporary and subside as the recovery process. Some common side effects are:
- Patients may experience some pain or discomfort in the operated area for a few days after surgery.
- Swelling and bruising are common after breast reduction surgery and may take several weeks to subside.
- Although surgeons aim to minimise scarring, some are ineluctable. The scars may appear red right after the surgery, but they should gradually fade and flatten over time.
- Some patients may have temporary numbness or nipple sensitivity, although these generally disappear within a few weeks or months.
- Infection is a rare but implicit complication after bone reduction surgery.
