Breast Reduction Surgery with Dr. Emre Güvercin
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces breast size and reshapes them for a more balanced and proportional appearance. At Dr. Emre Güvercin’s clinic in Istanbul, breast reduction surgery is performed to relieve physical discomfort and enhance quality of life.
Why Choose Breast Reduction?
This surgery provides both medical and aesthetic benefits. Women with overly large breasts may experience chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain, skin irritation, posture problems, and difficulty finding well-fitting clothing. Additionally, the procedure improves body proportion and boosts self-confidence.
Surgical Techniques
The choice of technique depends on the amount of tissue to be removed, the shape of the breasts, and patient preferences. Common methods include:
- Vertical (Short-Scar) Technique: Involves fewer incisions and leaves shorter scars.
- Anchor (Inverted-T) Technique: Suitable for larger reductions and reshaping.
Incisions, Scars, and Lifting
Breast reduction incisions create visible scars; however, they are strategically placed to remain hidden under clothing. This procedure often includes a breast lift (mastopexy) to elevate the breasts for a more youthful position and improved contour.
Recovery After Breast Reduction
Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Recovery generally takes a few weeks, and most patients can resume normal activities gradually. Following Dr. Güvercin’s post-operative care instructions ensures a smoother healing process.
Benefits of Breast Reduction
In addition to alleviating pain and discomfort, this procedure improves posture, enhances self-esteem, and allows for greater freedom in physical activities. Many patients report a significant improvement in their overall quality of life.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, risks include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensation, visible scarring, and potential breastfeeding challenges. Dr. Güvercin will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation.
Consultation and Insurance
During your consultation, Dr. Emre Güvercin will review your medical history, assess your breasts, and create a personalized surgical plan. In some cases, health insurance may cover the cost if the procedure is medically necessary. Contact your provider for specific criteria.
