Breast Reduction in Antalya Turkey
Breast reduction surgery in Antalya, Turkey is a cosmetic procedure that involves reducing the size and weight of large, heavy breasts to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing body contour.
Large and sagging breasts can cause physical, psychological, and social issues. Excess weight in the breasts can lead to shoulder drooping, neck and back pain, and skin irritation beneath the breasts.
Breast reduction surgery in Turkey eliminates sagging, improves body proportions, and provides freedom in clothing and movement.
By removing excess breast tissue, fat, and stretched skin, the surgeon not only makes the breasts smaller, lighter, and firmer but also improves breast symmetry and corrects drooping.
Many women undergo this surgery to relieve physical symptoms like back, neck, and shoulder pain, while also enjoying aesthetic benefits.
This procedure can be performed on all patients who have completed puberty. It is recommended to stop smoking at least one month before surgery.
The operation typically lasts between 1.5 to 4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The average hospital stay is 1 day at our clinic in Antalya, Turkey.
It is advised to wear a medical support bra for 4–6 weeks following the procedure. Most patients can return to their normal routines within one week. However, heavy physical activity and sports should be avoided for at least 6 weeks.
