Breast Reduction in Turkey: A Guide to Comfort and Proportionality

For many women, disproportionately large breasts can be a source of both physical discomfort and aesthetic concern. Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and limitations on an active lifestyle are daily challenges. Aesthetically, it can be difficult to find clothes that fit properly, leading to a feeling that your body is not in harmony.

A Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty) in Turkey is a life-changing procedure designed to address both of these issues simultaneously. It is not just about reducing size; it is a sophisticated surgical procedure that creates lighter, smaller, more lifted, and beautifully proportioned breasts that are in harmony with your body.

For mothers who experience an increase in breast size post-pregnancy, this procedure can also be a vital component of a personalized Mommy Makeover, helping to create a complete and comfortable post-baby transformation.

My sister's breasts were removed due to breast cancer, and Dr. Emre performed breast implant surgery to replace them. He has been with us throughout the entire process, and continues to do so. We continue to monitor him both before and after the surgery. He and his team are all very friendly and competent. I have absolute confidence in him and his team. May their path be bright.

I traveled all the way from Australia to Istanbul for a major operation on a hernia in my upper abdomen. After extensive research and consultations with many doctors in Australia, I decided to fly to Istanbul to consult with Dr. Emre. From our first interaction, it was clear that he was not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely passionate about his work. Dr. Emre’s kindness and dedication made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision.

The surgery involved not just the hernia repair but also a tummy tuck, 360 liposuction, and a BBL reduction, all of which were necessary for the best outcome. Despite not having much skin to work with, the results were incredible. The scarring has healed so well that it’s almost unnoticeable. I am incredibly happy with the outcome and the care I received.

My mum traveled with me to Istanbul to be by my side and to have a little holiday. Dr. Emre and his team treated her with the same care and respect as he did with me, which meant a lot.

I am thrilled with the results and am grateful to have found not just a fantastic surgeon, but a good friend as well. I highly recommend Dr. Emre to anyone seeking quality care.

The interest of my doctor and assistant, their explanatory information and the professionalism of the pre- and post-operative process made me feel very comfortable. My surgery was very successful. The entire team was friendly and supportive. It has been 1 month and I am very happy with the result. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have plastic surgery.

The Breast Reduction Procedure with Dr. Emre Özenalp

The goal of breast reduction surgery is to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your body. The procedure also involves reshaping the remaining tissue and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position.

Dr. Emre Özenalp most commonly uses the “Inverted-T” or “Anchor” incision technique, as it provides the greatest ability to reshape the breast and achieve the most significant, lasting reduction. The incisions are strategically placed around the areola, vertically down the front of the breast, and horizontally within the natural breast crease to minimize their visibility over time.

The surgical steps include:

  1. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed safely and comfortably under general anesthesia.

  2. Incisions: Dr. Özenalp makes the planned incisions.

  3. Tissue Removal & Reshaping: Excess tissue, fat, and skin are removed. The remaining tissue is reshaped to create a smaller, lighter, and more lifted breast mound.

  4. Nipple Repositioning: The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more central position.

  5. Closing: The incisions are meticulously closed in layers to support the newly shaped breast and ensure the best possible scar healing.

Your Recovery: A Week-by-Week Timeline

Turkey has rapidly become a global hub for medical excellence, offering a unique combination of quality, affordability, and experience.

Timeframe Key Points
Week 1 Expect soreness, swelling, and bruising. You will wear a surgical support bra 24/7. Rest is crucial, with short walks encouraged.
Week 2 Discomfort lessens. You can return to a desk job and light daily activities, but continue to avoid lifting and strenuous movements.
Weeks 3-4 Swelling significantly decreases. You will feel much more comfortable and can increase light activities like walking.
Weeks 6-8 You are typically cleared to resume most exercises. The final shape of your breasts becomes more apparent as they continue to soften.
Months 3-6 The majority of swelling is gone, revealing your final, beautiful results. Scars will be in the process of fading and softening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Will I be able to breastfeed after a breast reduction? While Dr. Özenalp uses techniques to preserve nerve and duct function, a breast reduction can impact the ability to breastfeed in the future. This is an important consideration and should be discussed during your consultation if you have not completed your family.

  • How much smaller will my breasts be? This is a decision you make in collaboration with Dr. Özenalp. The goal is to achieve a size that is both aesthetically pleasing and provides relief from physical symptoms, fitting your body’s proportions perfectly.

  • Are the results permanent? The removal of tissue and skin is permanent. However, significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging can still alter the size and shape of your breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight is the best way to protect your long-term results.
