Two techniques are generally preferred in breast reduction surgery. Surgical procedures that remove excess fat, skin and breast tissue from the breast form the basis of the most preferred breast reduction technique. In addition, the liposuction technique, which allows the removal of excess fat tissue in the breast, can also be preferred for breast reduction. However, this technique is preferred to eliminate minimal asymmetries or to make minor changes in size.
After breast reduction aesthetics, it is necessary to return to normal life in a controlled manner. After the operation, the drains are removed at the first control after being discharged from the hospital. Afterwards, the person should wear a specially supported bra, which should be used continuously for at least one month.
If there are sutures, the sutures are removed after 10 days. It is possible for the person to return to his normal life after a rest period of approximately 7 days from the operation. However, it is necessary to stay away from activities that will use the arms intensively for 1 month. It is very important for the healing process not to do any movements such as driving a vehicle, extending the arms to the side, forward or backward, lifting heavy, carrying things.
What Is Areola Reduction?
The dark area around the nipple is called “areola”. The operation in which one or both areolas can be reduced is a simple procedure. In addition, it can be performed in combination with operations such as breast lifting, reduction or augmentation. This procedure can be performed for both women and men. It is quite normal for women to experience changes in the areola areas after childbirth and breastfeeding.
