Breast Reduction

Relief from discomfort and a beautifully proportioned result — expert surgery in Turkey

Overview

Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size, alleviate chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders, and reshape the breast to a more proportionate, lifted form. Many patients seek this surgery for functional reasons as much as aesthetic ones. Turkey's surgeons are experienced with all reduction techniques and often this procedure is partially covered as a medical necessity in the patient's home country — checking eligibility before travelling is advisable.

Key Benefits

Procedure Options

Vertical (Lollipop) Reduction

Scar around the areola and vertically down to the fold — suitable for moderate reductions.

Wise Pattern (Anchor) Reduction

Anchor-shaped scar — the most versatile technique, used for significant reductions and complex reshaping.

Liposuction-Only Reduction

For suitable candidates — minimal scar option using liposuction alone to reduce volume.

Reduction + Lift Combination

Most reductions incorporate a lift (mastopexy) simultaneously to reposition the nipple and reshape the breast.
