Breast Reduction Our Treatment
Breast reduction operations are preferred if the size of the breasts are so large that they make the life of the individuals difficult. In addition to psychological discomfort, effects such as severe low back pain can also be experienced. It is the method used to eliminate these effects.
The operation is performed by removing the planned amount of tissue from the adipose tissue.
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction operations can be performed in women older the age of 18. The reason is that breast development is completed between the ages of 16 and 18.
The duration of this operation, which is performed under general anesthesia, takes an average of 3 - 4 hours. The duration can also vary depending on the specific conditions of the individual. The breasts are shaped in accordance with the body structure of the individual and the operation is completed.
Does Breast Reduction Surgery Damage the Mammary Gland?
Loss of the breastfeeding function, that is, loss of the function of milk glands, may only occur in some cases. The amount of adipose tissue removed varies based on the size of the breast. If too much adipose tissue is removed, the mammary glands may also be damaged. Before the operation, the patients with such high risks are given information about the risks by the doctor and the patient's consent is obtained.
