There is a taboo in the society that bigger breasts are more beautiful. However, excessively large breasts spoil the proportional appearance of the body.

It causes neck and back pain due to weight rather than aesthetic perception. Over time, it disrupts the structure of the spine. It can cause neck hernia and arm pain.
In breast reduction surgery, the excess breast tissue is removed and the breast is reshaped by erecting it. In this surgery, an inverted T-shaped scar remains under the chest. Since these scars are hidden in the lower breast line, patients are usually not very uncomfortable. Not all scars are visible through a bikini or bra.
Breast reduction surgery does not increase susceptibility to breast cancer.
Breast ultrasonography or mammography is requested from all patients for breast cancer screening before surgery.
Breastfeeding may be affected as there is a decrease in breast tissue after breast reduction surgery. Patients who want to have surgery after delivery should wait 6 months after breastfeeding ends.
Breast reduction surgery takes about 2-3 hours. The average hospital stay after surgery is 1 day on average. It is necessary to take a break for 1 month from heavy work and sports that require arm strength.
