The goal of this procedure is to remove the skin and the breast tissue from the breast and shape them. The breast reduction operation aims to reduce the breast volume and weight, thus giving the breast an aesthetic shape. Heavy and sagging breasts cause neck and back pain, including unbearable pressure from bra straps. This surgery is requested for physical as well as mental reasons. The breast can cause chronic pain such as maceration and dermatosis. Excessively large breasts may cause difficulties in dressing and daily activities. The surgical technique depends on the volume, weight and degree of sagging of the (female) breast.

The surgical technique is used to eliminate physical and psychological discomfort as well as for an aesthetic appearance for large and sagging breasts and its application may vary depending on the size, shape of the breasts and the surgeon's medical criteria.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes about 3 hours. It is a procedure called vertical mammoplasty, in which no incisions are made along the lower breast crease at Can Health Group hospitals, and instead of an inverted T-shaped scar, a very indistinct scar is left along the nipple.

The drainage placed after the operation to (collect) blood and body fluids is usually removed the next day. Usually the stitches are removed on the 10th or 11th day and the patient is followed up with regular check-ups for 2-3 weeks. However, by wearing an elastic bra in the form of a sports bra, the patient can return to her daily routine within a few days.

Complications such as partial sensory defects/ sensory disturbances in the nipple and partial decrease in lactation function can very rarely be observed in the postoperative phase. In the corresponding patient group physical as well as psychological relief is achieved.
