Breast reduction in Turkey

Factors enhancing Turkey for breast reduction and lifting.

For ladies who want the best medical care, comfort, and privacy, breast reduction in Turkey is a great option.

29,000 breast reduction surgeries were performed in Turkey in 2023 according to the international survey of Aesthetic plastic surgery.

Selected Turkish clinics meet international quality standards, confirmed by certificates from international medical organizations such as JCI (Joint Commission International). Beauty by Experts Medical cooperates only with licensed hospitals where patients are guaranteed excellent breast reduction results.

This combination of factors makes Istanbul one of the best choices for women considering breast reduction in Turkey:

1. World level of medical expertise.
2. Modern technologies and equipment.
3. Affordable prices which are 2 times cheaper than in the UK and USA.
4. Turkey is a perfect place for sightseeing.
5. No language barrier as almost all doctors speak English.

Breast reduction prices in Turkey vary depending on:

• the volume of intervention and surgical method;
• the popularity of the plastic surgeon and the level of the clinic.

Typically, the cost of breast reduction in Turkey starts from €3000. For comparison, according to Forbes, in the United States this operation can cost about $12,000.

All-inclusive package for breast reduction

Patients coming to Turkey receive all-inclusive services such as:

• airport transfers;
• 1 night hospitalization;
• 6 night hotel near the clinic;
• Doctor support 24/7;
• interpreter, if required;
• full travel arrangement;
• concierge service for every need.

A 2024 survey from Mordor Intelligence, alongside recent data from the Medical Tourism Corporation, reveals that medical procedures in Turkey are 50-80% less expensive compared to equivalent treatments in the United States and the United Kingdom. This makes Turkey one of the cheapest countries for breast reduction among developed countries.

Large breasts cause discomfort such as constant pain in the back, neck, and shoulders.

Reduction mammoplasty surgery not only relieves back pain and other physical discomfort but also solves a number of related problems. These include marks from bra straps on the shoulders, irritation of the skin in the area under the breasts, and even neuralgic pain.

Breast reduction in Turkey offers the opportunity to participate more actively in various activities and sports that may not have been possible before. Breast reshaping surgery often has a positive effect on self-esteem and solves problems with choosing clothes and underwear, making a woman’s life more comfortable.

Breast reduction surgery involves removing excess breast tissue and skin. During this procedure, the size of the dark area around the nipple can also be reduced.

Methods of breast reduction:

Which method will be used for breast reduction in Istanbul depends on a number of factors, including the anatomical structure, the type of breast, the preferable breast size, and the surgeon’s recommendations. Based on all this, the most suitable technique is selected:

• Anchor technique (traditional). This method involves 3 incisions: around the areola, vertically down from the areola, and horizontally along the breast’s natural crease. After removing excess tissue, sutures are placed in an anchor shape.
• Lollipop method (vertical reduction). The doctor makes two incisions: around and vertically down from the areola. This method leaves less scarring and is generally recommended for women with moderately enlarged breasts.
• Benelli method (circular reduction). This operation is suitable for a woman who does not need a very large breast reduction. The incision is made only around the areola.
• Breast liposuction. In some cases, when it is necessary to remove a small amount of fat tissue, liposuction can be used. This method is the least invasive and leaves minimal marks.

All these breast reduction methods are based on the latest research and clinical guidelines, such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The choice of method depends on many factors, including breast size and shape, skin type, medical history, and the patient’s personal preferences. Discussing all of these aspects with your surgeon will help determine which method is best for you.

After breast reduction surgery in Turkey, many women report radical changes in their quality of life. Here are some of the frequently mentioned positive aspects:

• Reduced physical discomfort. Chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders is significantly reduced or disappears completely, which has a beneficial effect on overall well-being.
• Increased mobility. Breast reduction in Istanbul has provided an opportunity to increase physical activity, which has opened up new opportunities for sports and leisure activities.
• Improvement of psycho-emotional state. Many women report increased self-confidence and body comfort.
• Easy to select clothes. After breast reduction in Istanbul, it is much easier to find suitable clothes and underwear, which adds comfort to everyday life.
• Improved hygiene conditions. A smaller breast size reduces the likelihood of irritation and skin infections in the area under the breasts.
• Improvement of intimate life. For some women, breast reduction in Turkey has had a positive impact on their quality of personal life, freeing them from physical and psychological barriers.

According to research by the American Union of Plastic Surgeons, the majority of patients report high satisfaction with the results and believe that the operation has had a positive impact on their quality of life.

Patient Experiences and Before & After Photos

Reduction involves not only size correction but also breast lifting. Thus, the correction is aimed at creating a harmonious shape, which makes the décolleté area more elastic and beautiful.

The patient in this photo underwent breast reduction in Istanbul with one of the leading specialists. After operations, many women highly appreciate the work of plastic surgeon Ergin Er, who is considered one of the best breast reduction specialists in Turkey.

The girl in the photo had breast reduction surgery in Istanbul performed by Celal Alioglu. The doctor also specializes in complex procedures, which may include liposuction of problem areas of the body.

After the reduction mammoplasty, the first 2 months of the rehabilitation period require a careful approach. Immediately after surgery, which is usually performed under general anaesthesia, the patient may be given medication to relieve pain. The healing process takes some time. During the first weeks, it is important to avoid lifting heavy objects and exercising. Rest and maximum peace should be organized for a woman.

The effect of the surgery will be most noticeable when the swelling subsides, and the new weight and shape of the breasts will be visible. It will happen in 2 months after the surgery.

Be sure to follow all doctor’s recommendations and undergo medical examinations to monitor healing and evaluate the cosmetic effect.

Scars after breast reduction surgery are an inevitable aspect of the procedure. But there are several ways that can reduce or completely eliminate post-operative marks on the skin:

• The first and most important step is to strictly follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions. Recommendations may include wearing a specialized bra and hygiene conditions.
• Use of specialized drugs. There are many medicinal ointments and gels specifically designed to speed up the healing process and reduce the appearance of scars. Examples of these products include products containing silicone or hyaluronic acid.
• Laser therapy. Treatments such as fractional laser can significantly improve the appearance of a scar, making it less noticeable. Please note that laser therapy is usually not recommended until several months after surgery.
• Microneedling and PRP. These methods have also been shown to be effective in improving the appearance of scars. Microneedling stimulates the skin regeneration process, and PRP (plasmolifting using the patient’s own plasma) can speed up the healing process.

If scars from surgery are a serious concern, it is recommended that you consult with a dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan. It is important to remember that the complete disappearance of scars on their own is unlikely. However, appropriate care can help to almost fully eliminate them.

To ensure you get the desired result, you should pay attention to several important points:

1. When choosing a clinic and doctor for breast reduction in Turkey, you should read patient reviews and look at photos before and after operations. This can be done on the Beauty by Experts Medical website.
2. It is necessary to send test results (if any) to the hospital. Coordinators of Beauty by Experts Medical will also help with this.
3. Prepare all documents for departure. More than 80 countries have a visa-free regime with Turkey. However, you need to know precisely what documents you will need to enter the country in your case. It is also advisable to take care of your place of residence in advance for the period of recovery after surgery.
