Why Should I Undergo Breast Reduction Surgery?
The reasons for opting for breast reduction are deeply personal and vary among individuals. This procedure aims to make the breasts smaller, lighter, and aesthetically proportionate. Women often choose this surgery not only to relieve physical pain such as back, neck, and shoulder pain but also to improve their quality of life by facilitating exercise and clothing selection.
Moreover, heavy breasts can cause discomfort and distress, especially during physical activities, which motivates many to seek a more balanced proportion between the bust and the rest of the body. The desire to change the appearance to enhance comfort and confidence in clothing and swimwear is also a common factor.
These changes not only aim for aesthetic improvement but also address practical difficulties such as finding suitable clothing and underwear, thereby reducing the daily limitations they face due to the excessive size of their breasts.

Before and After Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast Reduction Surgery Step-by-Step
The surgeon will discuss the desired final results with you before the operation. The desired size will be determined, and the following will be established by this information:
- The patient’s motivation.
- Medical history.
- A physical examination
- A pre-anesthesia check-up is also performed.
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep during the procedure, which lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the extent of the reduction. In this process, the nipple is repositioned, excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetic size and shape.
After breast reduction surgery, it is crucial to wear bandages to minimize swelling, and you will not see the final result until the swelling subsides. You should sleep on your back to avoid excessive pain and avoid sports activities and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to rest for a week, and the surgeon will advise you on when to resume activities. Additionally, you should wear a postoperative bra continuously for three months and you can shower normally a few days after the surgery, removing the bra only during these activities.
