Breast Reduction
A personalised breast reduction that relieves back and shoulder pain and functional limitations while preserving aesthetic balance.
What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that targets both aesthetic and functional improvement together. While the back and shoulder pain, postural issues, bra strap marks and activity restrictions caused by overly large breast tissue are reduced, a proportional and natural-looking breast shape is planned.
Op. Dr. Emre Yılmazer determines the appropriate technique for each patient based on breast tissue, skin elasticity and the patient's lifestyle requirements; scar length, areola position and tissue resection are planned individually.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Breast Reduction is a personalised procedure. A consultation may be scheduled in the following cases.
- Individuals experiencing back and shoulder pain due to breast size
- Patients who feel limited in active sport and daily life
- Those troubled by bra strap marks, skin irritation or excessive sweating
- Individuals experiencing postural problems
- Adults with realistic expectations who are informed about scarring
- Patients whose general health is suitable for surgery
Important note: Every patient comes with a different anatomy, skin structure and set of expectations. The exact procedure, the technique to be applied and the results can only be clarified after an in-person medical evaluation.
