Feel Comfortable with Your Breasts!
What Is Breast Reduction?
While having large breasts may be desirable for many women, in reality, it can often interfere with daily life.
Breast reduction offers a solution for women who want to decrease the size and weight of their breasts and feel more comfortable in their bodies.
This widely performed surgical procedure aims to treat macromastia or gigantomastia by reducing the breast size in proportion to the rest of the body, restoring balance and comfort.
The surgery is suitable for adult women and does not affect the functionality of the breast.
Who Is Breast Reduction For – And Why Consider It?
Breast reduction is performed for aesthetic, social, and most importantly, medical reasons.
It can significantly improve a woman’s quality of life, boost self-confidence, relieve discomfort, and help with physical problems caused by excessively large breasts.
Common reasons women choose breast reduction include:
- Breathing difficulties
- Neck, back, and shoulder pain
- Constant feeling of heaviness in the chest
- Frequent headaches
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Skin irritation beneath the breasts
- Disproportion with the rest of the body
- Poor breast control during physical activity
- Sleep disturbances
- Challenges in everyday life and physical exercise
Clearly, breast reduction is not just for aesthetic purposes—it addresses a broad range of issues that can impact a woman’s health and well-being.

The Procedure: What to Expect
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
The length of the operation depends on the severity of the condition and the surgical technique used, which is tailored to the breast’s size, shape, nipple position, skin quality, and degree of sagging.
The plastic surgeon makes precise incisions through which excess tissue, fat, and skin are removed. These incisions fade over time and blend with the natural skin tone.
The surgeon then reshapes and lifts the breast to create a more youthful and harmonious appearance. The incisions are closed with internal dissolvable stitches that support the breast during healing.
Because it is a complex surgery, it must be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon who can evaluate your condition and choose the appropriate technique to achieve optimal results.
After the Surgery – Recovery
Patients can typically go home the next day after surgery.
While the results are visible from the first few days, the final outcome takes shape gradually in the following weeks.
During the initial recovery phase:
- Rest is recommended
- Avoid strenuous activity, exercise, and lifting for at least one month
- You may return to work after about one week
- You’ll need to wear a special supportive bra for the period your doctor advises
