Breast Reduction in Turkey – Restore Comfort and Proportion with Dr. Baran Kul
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size and volume of overly large breasts. It involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more balanced, proportional, and comfortable breast size. This procedure is ideal for women who experience physical discomfort such as back and neck pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, posture problems, or difficulty engaging in physical activities due to the size of their breasts. With Dr. Baran Kul’s expert surgical skills and aesthetic understanding, patients not only experience relief from physical symptoms but also achieve natural-looking, lifted, and more proportionate breasts. Breast reduction is often combined with breast lift techniques to enhance shape and symmetry

What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts to reduce their size and weight.
The goal is to achieve a breast size that is more in proportion with the body and to relieve physical discomfort such as back pain, neck strain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation under the breasts.
This procedure also improves posture, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Who is Breast Reduction for?
Breast reduction may be suitable for:
– Women with overly large, heavy, or disproportionate breasts
– Those experiencing chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
– Individuals with bra strap indentations, skin irritation, or limited physical activity
– Women who feel self-conscious or emotionally distressed due to breast size
– Patients with realistic expectations and good general health
It is both a functional and cosmetic procedure — designed to improve comfort and appearance.
How is the Procedure Performed?
Breast reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions around the areola and possibly along the breast crease, depending on the amount of tissue to be removed.
Excess fat, tissue, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped and lifted to achieve a more youthful contour. The nipples are often repositioned to match the new breast shape.
The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 night and return to light activities within 7 to 10 days.

Each procedure is thoughtfully planned and tailored to the patient’s body, resulting in natural, symmetrical outcomes that enhance both aesthetics and well-being.
What is the Recovery Like?
– Most patients can return to light daily activities within 7 to 10 days
– A supportive surgical bra should be worn for 4 to 6 weeks to aid healing and support the new breast shape
– Strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and upper body workouts should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks
– Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common in the first few days and gradually improve
– Sleeping on your back is recommended during early recovery to avoid pressure on the breasts
Pain is usually well managed with prescribed medications, and most patients feel better each day.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes, the results of breast reduction are considered long-lasting.
Once excess breast tissue and fat are removed, the change in size and shape is permanent.
However, significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging may still impact breast shape over time.
Are There Any Risks?
As with any surgery, breast reduction involves some potential risks, such as:
– Infection
– Scarring
– Changes in nipple sensation
– Asymmetry
– Difficulty with breastfeeding (in some cases)
Choosing an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Baran Kul significantly reduces these risks and ensures a safer, more aesthetically pleasing result.
Summary
Breast reduction surgery is a life-changing procedure for women suffering from the physical and emotional burdens of overly large breasts.
It relieves pain, improves posture, enhances clothing fit, and restores confidence — all while creating a natural, balanced silhouette.
