Breast Reduction
Free yourself from discomfort with one simple operation.
Large breasts can often result in health issues and physical discomfort such as back and neck pain, skin irritation beneath the breasts, and painful bra straps. Many large-breasted women also complain of sagging and asymmetry.
A breast reduction relieves these symptoms while enhancing breast shape and proportion, creating beautiful, natural-looking breasts and encouraging both personal comfort and self-confidence.

What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a procedure to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size more in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with excessively large breasts.
Many women have both physical and emotional distress resulted from their disproportionately large breasts. Mr Tiryaki’s personalized approach to breast reduction provides you the most beautiful and proportional breast shape.

Permanently achieve a more balanced figure without interfering with nipple function
How is a Breast Reduction performed?
During the procedure, excess skin and tissue is removed, sagging breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipples are moved to an ideal, balanced position. The breasts will be made even and symmetrical.
The procedure usually takes about two hours and is performed under general anaesthetic.
The process of lifting the breast to achieve the ideal shape will often involve making two incisions, one beneath the breast and one extending to the edge of the nipple, or areola, creating an inverted T shape. Usually the nipples will not be detached, preserving all sensation and the functionality of the milk ducts. Most patients undergoing breast reduction surgery can return home the same day.

Breast Surgery with Mr. Tunç Tiryaki
On your first visit, Mr Tiryaki will listen to you and learn your objectives and desires.

Togehther you will decide which surgical approach will suit you best. All-throughout your journey starting from your initial consultation to your recovery and follow-up, you will experience the care and warmth of Mr Tiryaki’s team.
How is the ideal surgery method determined?
The size and weight of the breast, the position of the breast wall, and the patient’s ideal result are all factors that will influence which surgical method Mr Tiryaki considers most suited to the patient. The ideal breast reduction should combine the most beautiful and natural-looking result with the fewest number of surgical incisions, so all of these considerations will be discussed and carefully evaluated during the consultation process.
Does a breast reduction leave any scars?
A breast reduction will leave small scars, which are usually most visible in the first three months after the operation. They will become less visible with time, and generally look like thin white lines after about a year. Most scars are hidden under the breasts. The degree to which scars fade or disappear will be largely dependent on the healing ability of the individual patient’s skin. Factors that can influence scar length include the size and position of the breast. All of these factors will be discussed with Mr Tiryaki during the consultation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the recovery time for a breast reduction?
The healing process usually takes from one to two weeks. Most patients can return to normal life after about a week. A sport or support bra should be worn for three weeks.
How long does Breast Augmentation take?
The procedure takes from 60 to 90 minutes and is performed under general anaesthesia. Patients can usually return home the same day.
What do I need to do before Breast Reduction?
As with all surgical procedures, patients must abstain from taking blood thinners and limit both alcohol consumption and smoking as much as possible. Ideally, a patient should abstain entirely from smoking and drinking alcohol in the last couple of days preceding surgery. We recommend that all patients have a breast ultrasound or mammogram less than three months before a breast reduction operation.
How long does Breast Reduction take?
Breast reduction surgery usually takes about two hours and is performed under general anaesthetic. Patients usually return home the same day.
What do I need to do after Breast Reduction?
The bandages are removed two days after the operation, and you can shower after two or three days. You can return to normal life after about a week, but you should not drive a car for at least 10 days. We recommend wearing support or sport bras for three weeks following a breast lift. Mr Tiryaki will suggest the most suitable option. As with all surgical procedures, you should stop smoking for the duration of the two weeks following the operation, and you should not participate in any activities that will increase blood pressure.
Is Breast Reduction painful?
Patients may experience mild pain in the first few days after surgery. This can be managed with simple painkillers. You may also see some bruising or oedema.
Will a Breast Reduction prevent breast feeding?
Most breast reductions will not disturb the operation of the milk ducts, as the nipples usually remain fully attached to the breasts at all times. Should a different method be necessary for an effective breast reduction, Mr Tiryaki will discuss this with you in advance. In all other cases, you should expect to be able to breastfeed normally.
Are the results from Breast Reduction permanent?
The results of a breast lift are considered permanent. The shape of the breasts will gradually settle in the three months following surgery. For the best long-term results patients should maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, as both age and gravity may eventually change the form of the breasts. Breast implants are also permanent and do not need to be replaced.
