Breast reduction removes excess fat, tissue, and skin to reduce breast size and improve body proportions. It’s perfect for women who suffer from physical discomfort like back, neck, or shoulder pain due to large breasts. The procedure also reshapes the breasts, providing a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Proper preparation is essential for a smooth surgery and recovery. Here’s a guide to help you prepare for your breast reduction:
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.

When you arrive for your breast reduction surgery, here’s what you can expect:
Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.
A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.
You will meet with your surgeon to finalize the details of the surgery. Your surgeon will review the desired size and shape of your breasts, mark the areas to be reduced, and confirm the surgical plan. This is your chance to discuss any final questions or concerns.
You will be given anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free during the surgery. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation will be used.
The surgery involves making incisions to remove excess breast tissue, skin, and fat. The remaining tissue will be reshaped to create a more youthful, lifted appearance. The nipple may be repositioned to ensure a natural look and feel. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the amount of tissue being removed and the complexity of the surgery.
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.
You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.
Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.
Once the procedure is complete, you will be moved to a recovery area, where you'll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Our team will provide you with post-surgical care instructions and ensure your comfort.
Recovery after breast reduction is crucial to ensure the best results. Here’s what to expect during your recovery period:
After surgery, you will be observed in the hospital for a short period. Most patients can go home the same day, but if needed, an overnight stay may be recommended. You will be monitored to ensure there are no complications during the initial recovery phase.
Once you're stable, you’ll be discharged and escorted back to your hotel. During this time, you’ll need to rest and avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activities.
You will have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your recovery and ensure the breasts are healing as expected. Your surgeon will assess the healing process, check for any signs of complications, and guide you through post-surgical care.
You will be advised to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support your breasts during the recovery process. This helps reduce swelling, support the new shape, and minimize any discomfort.
You should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery. Most patients can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks, but you should follow your surgeon’s advice on when it’s safe to resume normal activities.
Scarring is a natural part of the healing process. Your surgeon will place the incisions in discreet areas, such as around the areola or under the breast, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, the scars will fade, but they won’t completely disappear.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.
