Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) reduces breast volume and reshapes the breast — elevating the nipple to a more youthful position and creating a firmer, more proportionate silhouette. Large breasts can cause chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain, skin problems beneath the breast fold, and difficulty with physical activity. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 2–3 hours. Prof. Dr. Cengiz Eser offers personalized breast reduction planning in Adana, Turkey.
How Is Breast Reduction Performed?
Incisions
Incisions are typically made around the nipple, vertically downward, and along the breast fold. The extent of incisions depends on breast size and the desired reduction.
Tissue Removal & Reshaping
The planned amount of breast tissue and skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped. The nipple is repositioned to a higher, more youthful position.
Combined with Breast Lift
Breast reduction is frequently combined with breast lift in the same session — achieving both volume reduction and improved shape simultaneously.
