Breast Reduction in Turkey – Reduce Size, Relieve Discomfort

Considering a breast reduction in Turkey? Our expert surgeons in Istanbul specialise in reducing breast size and reshaping the chest for improved comfort, posture, and confidence. Whether you’re experiencing physical discomfort, back pain, or simply want a more proportionate silhouette, our internationally accredited clinics provide expert care at a fraction of the cost compared to the UK and Australia.

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts. Patients choose breast reduction surgery to:

• Relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by heavy breasts
• Improve posture and reduce strain on the spine
• Enhance mobility and comfort during physical activity
• Achieve a more proportionate breast size to match their body shape
• Reduce skin irritation and discomfort from bra straps and under-breast chafing

Turkey is a leading destination for breast reduction surgery, offering highly skilled plastic surgeons, modern medical facilities, and cost-effective pricing compared to Western countries.

Why Choose Breast Reduction in Turkey?

Many patients from the UK and Australia travel to Turkey for breast reduction due to high-quality care and reduced wait times. In contrast, NHS and public healthcare systems often have long waiting lists for elective cosmetic procedures. By choosing Turkey, patients can schedule surgery sooner and receive expert care at a lower cost.

Turkey offers all-inclusive packages that typically cover:

• Surgery & medical fees
• 1-night hospital stay for monitoring

The Breast Reduction Procedure – What to Expect

Step 1: Personalised Consultation

Before your procedure, you will have a detailed consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals and determine the best surgical approach.

• Your surgeon will assess breast size, tissue composition, and skin elasticity.
• A tailored surgical plan will be created to achieve your desired outcome.
• You will discuss incision techniques, such as vertical (lollipop) or anchor-shaped incisions.
• Your surgeon will explain realistic expectations and potential outcomes.

Step 2: The Surgery

• Breast reduction is performed under general anaesthesia.
• The surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the breasts to a smaller size.
• The procedure typically lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the complexity.

Step 3: Recovery & Post-Surgery Care

Following breast reduction in Turkey, you will spend 1 night in the hospital for monitoring before returning to your hotel for 7 nights to recover.

First Week of Recovery

• Days 1–2: Some swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort.
• Days 3–4: Swelling begins to subside, and movement becomes easier.
• Days 5–6: Many patients feel comfortable walking and engaging in light activities.
• Day 7: Final check-up, healing assessment, and Fit-to-Fly letter provided.

Long-Term Recovery

• 2–4 Weeks: Most swelling reduces, and the breasts begin settling into their final shape.
• 6 Weeks: Full internal healing, with improved comfort and natural movement.
• 3–6 Months: The final breast shape and contour become fully apparent.

Breast Reduction Risks – What You Need to Know

Breast reduction is a safe and widely performed procedure, but all surgeries carry potential risks. Following post-operative care guidelines is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Potential Risks Include:

• Swelling & Bruising – Common in the first few weeks but gradually improves.
• Temporary Numbness – Some patients experience mild numbness in the breast area.
• Changes in Nipple Sensation – Sensitivity may increase or decrease post-surgery.
• Asymmetry – Slight variations in breast shape or size may occur.
• Scarring – Incision scars fade over time but may remain visible.
• Infection or Bleeding – Uncommon but manageable with proper aftercare.

Patients must be fully aware of these risks and make an informed decision before proceeding.
