The Importance of Surgeon in Breast Reduction
MCAN Health is recognized internationally for its remarkable surgeries carried out by licensed surgeons.
The satisfaction of its patients is MCAN Health’s chief aim, along with ongoing success. As a result, the plastic surgeons at MCAN are carefully chosen based on their qualifications, success rates, and international accreditations.
According to MCAN, the patient’s expectations and the surgeon’s skill determine if breast reduction surgery succeeds. Hence, the priorities for the finest outcomes are the required help in all operation phases and the artistic approach!
Breast reduction is performed in different ways depending on the needs of the patients and is carried out under general anesthesia. Breast reduction surgery is about operating incisions on the breasts to proceed with the surgical removal of excess fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and proportionate appearance.
As with other procedures, at MCAN, the procedures always start with a consultation where the doctor analyzes the case, gives his/her best ideas for the best and most successful surgery and results, and considers patients’ expectations.
The procedure continues with general anesthesia following the most appropriate incision for the patient. The surgeon removes the excess tissue, fat, and skin. After the incision, the reshaping and repositioning process starts; the nipple and areola are also repositioned to a more suitable place on the breast.
Once the appropriate breast size and contour have been obtained, the incisions are stitched or stapled shut.
Breast Reduction Techniques
Incisions are made during breast reduction surgery to remove extra skin, fat, and breast tissue. Depending on the degree of reduction required, the patient’s breast anatomy, and the surgeon’s preference, the type and pattern of incisions utilized during breast reduction surgery may change.
The most typical incisions for breast reduction surgery are listed below:
Anchor (Inverted-T) Incision
The vertical incisions technique makes the incisions start around the areola, going down vertically and horizontally across the breast crease.
Circumareolar (Donut) Incision
In this type of incision, a chunk of breast tissue in the form of a doughnut is removed by an incision around the areola. Circumareolar incision works best for minor to moderate reductions.
Liposuction Incision
Liposuction incision entails making one or two tiny incisions through which the doctor can introduce a cannula to remove extra fat.
What is the Difference between Breast Lift vs Reduction?
A breast lift focuses on lifting and reshaping sagging breasts without significantly changing size. This surgery involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples to a higher position. The main goal is to improve the breast’s contour and firmness, making them look perkier and more aesthetically pleasing.
In contrast, a breast reduction reduces the overall size and volume of the breasts. This procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, resulting in smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. This surgery is often preferred by women experiencing physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain due to overly large breasts. A breast reduction is also commonly combined with a breast lift. This combined approach is suitable in cases where the breasts are both overly large and sagging. The surgeon can achieve a more balanced, lifted, and proportionate breast appearance by performing both procedures.
Breast Reduction Recovery Process
As in other breast surgeries such as breast uplift and enlargement, breast reduction can emerge some temporary bruises and swelling, which are temporary. Recovery after breast reduction surgery can take 3-7 days so that patients can return to their office work and routines. After the surgery, it will likely feel moderate pain in the breast areas; the surgeon will provide painkillers, necessary medicines, and medical support bra to prevent pain, bruises, and swelling. -Patients should wear a medical support bra for 6 weeks.- Additionally, the surgeon, for 3 days, uses drains to remove excess fluid that can accumulate in the surgical area. After the surgery, in 6 days, sutures are removed before patients leave Turkey. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to get over smoothly during this process. It is also essential to avoid excessive movement of the chest and arm for 4-6 weeks; patients should lie on their backs for 4 weeks. The recovery process will be completed 6 months after the surgery; therefore, patients should always be conscious of the healing phase to get the best breast reduction results.
Suitable Candidates for Breast Reduction Surgery
Both females and males who want to remove the excess breast tissue and reshape the breasts to obtain a more proportionate and comfortable size; or those who experience physical discomfort or emotional distress due to their overly large breasts can get breast reduction surgery.
A good candidate for breast reduction:
Physical discomfort: If the person experiences physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts, or difficulty engaging in physical activities, she/he can have the surgery.
Emotional distress: Women with excessively larger breasts may also experience emotional distress due to self-consciousness and trouble finding clothes that fit properly. Therefore, those with are not happy with the size and shape of their breasts can get a breast reduction.

Good general health: People considering breast reduction surgery should have good overall health. They need to be free from medical conditions increasing the risk of complications during the surgery or anesthesia. (Before the surgery, the medical history of the patients and the medicines they are on should be informed to the surgeon.)
Realistic expectations: As in any other procedure, candidates should have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure; and should be willing to follow their surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care
What Not to Expect from Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction enhances the appearance of breast which originally are large and disproportionate, by removing the excess breast tissue, fat, and skin. However, patients should have realistic expectations.
As in other procedures, such as breast enlargement, instant results should not be expected. It takes time for the swelling and bruising to go down, and for the breasts to heal.
As with any surgery, there are risks involved with breast reduction surgery. Therefore, patients shouldn’t expect risk-free surgery. It is likely to experience bleeding, infection, swelling, and bruising after the surgery. Following the surgeon’s instructions decrease the chance of risks and complications.
Since the procedure involves incisions, patients should not expect complete scar removal. Patients have small but invisible incision scars after the surgery.
Breast reduction surgery can improve the size and shape of the breasts. However, there may be some degree of asymmetry or unevenness after surgery.
Breastfeeding ability can be affected by breast reduction surgery. It is important to discuss this with the surgeon if it concerns patients.

Nutrition and hydration: Eating a healthy diet and staying hydrated can promote healing and help your body recover quickly.
Breast reduction surgery results are long-lasting. However, breast tissue can still be affected by weight gain, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process. Therefore, breast reduction results do not last forever. For long-lasting results, patients should do their aftercare properly.
The amount of breast tissue removed during breast reduction surgery depends on the individual case and the desired outcome. Generally, the surgeon removes enough tissue to achieve a proportional and aesthetically pleasing breast size while also taking into consideration the patient’s physical needs and preferences. In some cases, a substantial amount of breast tissue may be removed; in others, a smaller amount may be sufficient to achieve the desired result. The surgeon will discuss the amount of tissue removed during the pre-operative consultation, considering the patient’s goals and concerns.
Following a breast reduction surgery, it is possible to breastfeed depending on how the surgery was performed. If the surgeon was careful to preserve the nerves and milk duct system, the chances are higher. However, as the procedure involves removing breast tissue, sometimes milk ducts can be damaged if it is an extensive surgery. You should consult to your surgeon regarding your case.
Breast reduction surgery can lead to sensation loss, although uncommon. The nerve can be damaged because of the removal of tissue and skin. However, highly-skilled surgeons can avoid damaging the nerves by carrying out the surgery meticulously.
Yes, you can choose the size and shape of your breasts after breast reduction surgery. One of the goals of the surgery is to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing breast size and shape that aligns with your goals and preferences. You can discuss your desired breast size and shape during the consultation with your surgeon.
This depends on your anatomy and desired look to achieve with the breast reduction surgery. If you want to maintain or enhance breast volume while reducing size, implants can help achieve a fuller look. Sometimes, an implant might be necessary after a reduction to achieve the desired shape and fullness, especially if significant tissue removal results in a loss of upper pole fullness or a flat appearance. Thanks to this combination of tissue removal and implant placement, the surgeon can ensure both a decrease in breast size and an enhanced contour.
