Breast reduction surgery involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the remaining breast tissue, and creating a breast structure that is more proportionate to the patient’s body.

Large and heavy breasts may make daily activities more difficult for some individuals or cause discomfort in the neck, back, and shoulder areas. Friction and skin irritation may also occur beneath the breasts. In addition, individuals who feel that their breast size is disproportionate to their body may seek an evaluation for breast reduction for aesthetic reasons.

When planning breast reduction surgery, not only breast volume but also the patient’s overall health condition, anatomical characteristics, skin structure, and expectations are evaluated together.

A specialist evaluation for breast reduction may be considered for individuals who experience one or more of the following:

• Those who feel that their breast size is disproportionate to their body structure
• Those who experience difficulties in daily life due to large and heavy breasts
• Those who experience discomfort in the neck, back, or shoulder areas
• Those who are concerned about pressure from bra straps on their shoulders
• Those who experience recurring friction or skin problems beneath the breasts
• Those who feel that their breast size limits physical activities
• Those who wish to change the appearance of their breasts and overall body proportions
• Those who want to find out whether breast reduction surgery is suitable for them

Breast reduction treatment is not performed in the same way for every patient. During the initial stage, the patient’s medical history, current concerns, breast structure, and expectations are evaluated.

During the specialist physician’s examination, the characteristics of the breast tissue, skin structure, nipple position, and body proportions are taken into consideration. When necessary, additional tests or evaluations by other relevant medical specialties may be included in the process.
