Breast Reduction and Lifting
Private Yaşar Hospital offers comprehensive solutions for breast reduction and lift procedures. These surgeries are designed to address concerns arising from larger than normal or sagging breasts.
Breast reduction and lift surgeries are popular among women who desire a change in the size and position of their breasts, leading to improved physical appearance and comfort. By employing these procedures, we strive to maintain the natural size and shape of the breasts while enhancing their overall structure.
What is Breast Reduction and Lifting?
Breast reduction and lift surgeries are often sought by women who are troubled by disproportionately large and sagging breasts. These issues can have a negative impact on both their social life and physical well-being, sometimes leading to spinal curvature and posture disorders. In such cases, we perform surgical procedures to remove excess tissue, realign the position of the breasts, and, if needed, insert prosthetics. This combination of procedures is collectively referred to as breast reduction and lift.
How is Breast Reduction and Lifting Performed?
Breast reduction and lift surgery is typically a two-stage process. Firstly, breast reduction is performed. Then, if required, a prosthesis is inserted to give the breast a more elevated appearance.
- Prior to surgery, a thorough medical assessment of the patient is conducted, and necessary preoperative procedures are carried out. If the patient has inflammatory diseases, the surgical process may require additional precautions.
- General anesthesia is administered before the surgery, which generally lasts 3-4 hours, although this duration may vary depending on individual circumstances.
- During the surgery, an incision is made in the designated breast area for tissue extraction. If there is excess fat, it is suctioned out through the incision using a cannula. Excess skin is also removed post liposuction.
- If a silicone prosthesis is chosen for augmentation, it is inserted through an incision made underneath the breast or around the nipple.
- Finally, the incisions are sutured, concluding the breast reduction and lift procedure.
Recovery After Breast Reduction and Lift Surgery
Following breast reduction and lift surgery, patients are typically discharged the next day after a one-day stay at our hospital. Painkillers are prescribed for 5-7 days, after which most patients are able to return to work.
Patients are advised to lie on their back while resting to avoid straining the stitches for several weeks. If lying on the side, maintaining a 45-degree angle is recommended.
The timeline for resuming physical activities will be determined by your doctor. After minor surgeries, sports can usually be resumed in a week or two. However, in cases involving larger incisions, it may take up to one or two months. For more information about breast reduction and lift surgery, feel free to contact Private Yaşar Hospital.
