Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction in Turkey requires individual surgical assessment, realistic goals, clear risk counselling and a safe recovery and follow-up plan.
Breast Reduction is a procedure within Breast Aesthetics. Surgical planning should be based on anatomy, medical history, previous operations, medicines, smoking status, examination and realistic goals.The surgeon should explain the proposed technique, incision and scar location, anaesthesia, alternatives, expected limitations, common side effects, important complications and the possibility of revision surgery.Patients from Germany should confirm the recommended stay, mobility and clot-prevention instructions, wound care, support garments where relevant, flying restrictions and arrangements for follow-up at home.
Suitability
Suitability depends on anatomy, general health, medical history, previous surgery, medicines, smoking or nicotine use, weight stability, healing risk and realistic expectations. A remote review is preliminary and does not replace examination.
Risks and considerations
Possible risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthetic complications, blood clots, fluid collections, delayed healing, visible or widened scars, asymmetry, contour irregularity, changes in sensation, tissue damage and the need for revision surgery.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling, bruising, discomfort and temporary activity restrictions are common. Follow instructions about wound care, medicines, compression garments, movement, sleeping position, lifting, work, exercise and flying. Seek urgent care for chest pain, breathlessness, heavy bleeding, fever or rapidly worsening symptoms.
