What is a Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, can be performed for both aesthetic and medical reasons. The operation is usually conducted due to reasons such as sagging, lack of attractiveness, asymmetry, and difficulty in finding clothes, often associated with excessively large breasts.

 

How is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?

Breast reduction or reduction mammaplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia in the operating room, depending on the size of the breast and the degree of sagging.

  • The breast mass is reduced and brought to normal size.
  • The sagging nipple is repositioned to its appropriate level, meaning a nipple lift procedure is performed.
  • An aesthetic shape is given to the breast.

While these procedures are performed;

  • Attention is paid to the preservation of the blood circulation around the nipple-areola complex, the preservation of the functional sensation of the nipple, and the preservation of the breast’s capacity for breastfeeding and lactation.

Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery is an aesthetic procedure performed to restore sagging breasts to their ideal shape. This operation is typically carried out by a Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeon and is performed under general anesthesia.

The duration of the surgery can range from 1 to 4 hours, depending on the degree of sagging and tissue deformity. Breast lifting and augmentation procedures can be performed simultaneously. Especially if there is significant loss of volume in the breast, support with silicone implants may be necessary.

What is a Breast Lift

Of course, breast lift surgery is a plastic surgery procedure performed to restore sagging breasts to their ideal shape. The main goal of this surgery is to make the breasts look younger, more lifted and more aesthetic.

Why is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?

Breast lift surgery may be required due to a combination of factors that cause the breasts to sag. These factors may include aging, excessive weight loss, pregnancy and breastfeeding, genetic predisposition and the effect of gravity. Breast lift surgery can be performed using different techniques depending on the structure of the person’s breast tissue and skin.

During these procedures;

To protect the blood circulation of the nipple and the surrounding colored part (nipple-areola complex),
Preservation of functional sensation of the nipple,
Care is taken to preserve the breast’s capacity for lactation and breastfeeding.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

During the surgery, breast augmentation implants are placed either under or behind the breast tissue. These implants can typically contain saline solution (saline implants) or silicone gel. Breast augmentation surgery can be done to increase breast size, improve breast shape, or correct breast asymmetry.

The advantages of breast augmentation surgery may include increased breast volume, improved breast shape, and overall appearance enhancement. However, like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation surgery carries some risks. These risks may include infection, implant leakage or rupture, formation of scar tissue, and sensory changes.

The post-operative recovery period usually lasts for several weeks, and during this time, it is important for patients to follow specific restrictions. Regular follow-up visits and care as advised by the doctor are essential during the post-operative period.

If you would like to learn more about breast augmentation surgery or are considering undergoing the procedure, it is important to consult with a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. This specialist can evaluate the most suitable treatment options for you and provide guidance throughout the pre-operative and post-operative processes.

What is Breast implant?

Breast implants are artificial implants used to replace breast tissue or increase breast size. Breast implants are typically made of silicone, saline solution (saline implants), or other specialized materials according to medical classification.

The purposes of using breast implants are as follows:

Reconstructive Breast Surgery: They can be used for reconstructing the breast after breast cancer or other breast tissue losses. In such cases, breast implants are placed surgically to reconstruct the breast tissue and help achieve an aesthetic appearance.
Aesthetic Breast Surgery: They can be used for breast augmentation or improving breast shape. Aesthetic breast implants are typically used during breast augmentation surgeries to achieve desired changes in breast volume or shape.

Types and features of breast implants include:

Silicone Breast Implants: Silicone gel-filled breast implants are quite popular. These implants have a structure resembling natural breast tissue and often provide a more natural appearance.
Saline Breast Implants: Saline solution-filled breast implants can be used as an alternative to silicone implants. These implants contain a liquid-filled bag and come in different shapes and sizes.

Breast implant surgery is typically performed by an Aesthetic, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgeon. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and the recovery period may last for several weeks. During the post-operative period, it’s important for patients to follow the recommended care and attend regular check-ups as advised by their doctor.
