THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT BREAST REDUCTION SURGERIES

Q: My breasts are so big that they cause severe neck, back and shoulder pain. Will these complaints also disappear after breast reduction?

A: Breast reduction is a very effective operation. In addition to the serious decrease in the size and weight of the breasts and the reshaping of the remaining tissue, these symptoms also disappear due to the change of the center of gravity.

Q: Where are the incisions made from?

A: The incisions start around the nipples and after they are reduced and lifted up, they are extended to the line under the breasts and continue along this line. Although the surgical scars do not disappear completely, they heal quite well over time and become indistinct. The majority of these traces become quite acceptable.

Q: Is it painful after surgery?

A: It is observed that most women can tolerate pain in the postoperative period quite well.

Q: Is the surgery performed as a daily intervention?

A: Yes, it can usually be sent to the patient’s home on the same day.

Q: Will my surgery expenses be covered by insurance, or will it be treated as a cosmetic intervention?

A: The answer to this depends on the coverage of your insurance, your weight, your complaints and the size of your breasts.
