How is Breast Reduction Operation Performed?

Even if the aim of breast reduction, which is an aesthetic surgical operation, is to reduce the breasts that cause physical and anatomical pressure and weight, and to eliminate other health problems of the patient, the patient's 'aesthetically' expectations are of great importance. In aesthetic expectation, the patient may have a certain breast size and diameter in his head. Considering these expectations, the aesthetic surgeon creates the scope of the operation by presenting the proposal that is suitable for the patient's physical structure (height, weight, regional weight distribution, rib cage width, etc.) and will provide the closest result to the natural. Elements to be considered in a successful breast reduction operation; the correct size of the two breasts and their symmetry with each other, the smooth gathering of the areas of the breast under the arm and the overflowing sideways, and the placement of the nipples in proportion to the new size of the breast. In the operation performed with general anesthesia, the surgical procedure can take 2-3 hours on average.
