Understanding the Procedure

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

One of the most natural indications of a woman's physical beauty is her breast — the part of the body that gives you a curvy and feminine silhouette you can feel comfortable in.

But due to pregnancy or genetics, breasts can sometimes become too large, causing mobility problems and back pain, or look uneven after breastfeeding. Breast reduction is a cosmetic surgery aimed mainly at women unsatisfied with the size of their breasts, or who suffer from a difference in breast size — it can also be performed for therapeutic purposes for women who suffer from heaviness in the chest, discomfort, back, shoulder and neck pain, and shortness of breath.

Breast problems are not limited to women: many men suffer from chest and breast problems where fat cells accumulate in that area, a condition known as gynecomastia, which this surgery can also treat.

The Medespoir family welcomes you to Istanbul for this highly effective procedure, so you can have the body you always dreamed of.

Consultation

Your surgeon assesses your breasts and agrees with you on your desired size after surgery.

2

General anesthesia

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about two hours.

3

Tissue removal

An incision is made and excess breast tissue, fat and skin are removed.

4

Closure & recovery

The incision is closed with cosmetic stitches; most patients don't need to stay overnight.

Before Your Surgery

How to Prepare for Breast Reduction

Before the operation, your doctor will run tests to confirm you have no condition preventing surgery, and agree with you on your desired breast size.

A complete blood count
Blood chemistry
Chest imaging
Breast cancer screening

You should consult your doctor about any medications to stop before the surgery, avoid alcohol for 48 hours before, and stop eating and drinking for 8 hours before the surgery.

During the Operation

What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery?

The doctor starts by injecting a serum containing antibiotics to prevent infection, then administers general anesthesia. An incision is made in the breast and the surgeon removes the excess breast tissue, fat and skin, before closing the incision with special cosmetic stitches covered with antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.

The surgery usually takes about two hours, and in almost all cases you don't need to spend the night at the clinic.

Every all-inclusive package includes the surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay, medication and follow-up support — plus a comfortable hotel room for your recovery.
