Breast Reduction in Turkey
A breast reduction, medically known as Reduction Mammoplasty, is one of the most effective procedures for relieving the discomfort of overly large breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, creating smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts with an improved shape.
A breast reduction in Turkey starts from £3,600. Most patients fly home after 5–7 days, with their final results becoming visible over the following months and long-lasting, provided a stable weight is maintained.

THE PROCEDURE
What is breast reduction?
A breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and better-proportioned breasts. In addition to reducing breast size, the procedure reshapes the breasts and repositions the nipples to achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Unlike non-surgical treatments, a breast reduction permanently removes excess breast tissue that cannot be reduced through diet or exercise alone. The procedure is particularly beneficial for women who experience back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation beneath the breasts, difficulty exercising, or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts, offering both aesthetic and functional improvements.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every breast reduction is tailored to your individual anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve smaller, naturally shaped breasts while minimising visible scarring wherever possible, combining expert surgical care with the exceptional value and hospitality that have made Turkey a leading destination for cosmetic surgery.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for breast reduction?
A breast reduction may be right for you if you:
Have breasts that feel disproportionately large for your body frame
Experience back, neck, or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts
Suffer from skin irritation or discomfort beneath the breasts, or shoulder grooves from bra straps
Find that large breasts limit your ability to exercise or affect your confidence
Are close to your ideal weight and able to maintain a stable weight after surgery
Are in good general health and a non-smoker, or able to stop before surgery
Have realistic expectations about the results and recovery
Candidacy is always confirmed after a medical review of your medical history, photos, and goals. If a breast reduction is not the most appropriate option, we’ll honestly recommend an alternative procedure, such as a breast lift or breast lift with implants, based on your anatomy and desired outcome.

RECOVERY
Breast reduction recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Rest with your upper body slightly elevated to help reduce swelling. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected during this period, and your dressings and any drains (if used) will be monitored by our nursing team. You’ll also be advised to wear a supportive surgical bra continuously.
Days 4–7: If drains have been placed, they are usually removed during this period. You’ll become more comfortable carrying out light daily activities while continuing to wear your surgical bra. Most patients are able to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–6: Swelling continues to improve, and you can gradually return to normal daily activities. Heavy lifting, upper body workouts, and strenuous exercise should be avoided until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them. Your breasts will continue to soften and settle into their new shape during this time.
Months 3–6: The breasts continue to settle into their final shape, scars gradually soften and fade, and any remaining swelling resolves. Most patients also experience significant relief from the physical discomfort associated with overly large breasts. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your results are long-lasting.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
A breast reduction is a well-established procedure, but like any surgery, it carries risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, fluid collection (seroma), delayed wound healing, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and — more rarely — bleeding, infection, blood clots, asymmetry, difficulty breastfeeding, or partial loss of nipple viability.
We minimise these risks by performing a comprehensive pre-operative health assessment, using meticulous surgical techniques, and providing structured aftercare with 24/7 access to our medical team throughout your stay. Your surgeon will explain your individual risk profile in detail and provide personalised guidance to support a safe recovery.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a breast reduction?
A breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while improving their shape and position. The procedure can relieve physical discomfort as well as enhance body proportions.
Who is a good candidate for breast reduction?
Breast reduction may be suitable if you experience back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation beneath the breasts, difficulty exercising, or feel your breasts are disproportionately large. Your surgeon will assess your medical history, anatomy, and goals to determine whether the procedure is right for you.
Will my breasts still look natural after surgery?
Yes. The goal of breast reduction is to create smaller, lighter, and naturally shaped breasts that remain proportionate to your body. Your surgeon will carefully plan the amount of tissue removed to achieve a balanced result.
Will I have visible scars?
Yes. Breast reduction requires incisions, so some scarring is unavoidable. The exact scar pattern depends on the amount of reduction required, but scars are placed strategically and usually fade significantly over time with proper scar care.
Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Some women are able to breastfeed after breast reduction surgery, while others may have reduced milk production depending on the amount of tissue removed and the surgical technique used. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this with your surgeon during your consultation.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients are able to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon's approval. You'll wear a supportive surgical bra for several weeks and should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous upper body exercise for around 4–6 weeks.
Will a breast reduction relieve back and neck pain?
For many patients, yes. By reducing the weight of the breasts, the procedure often provides significant relief from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, while also improving posture and making physical activities more comfortable.
Can a breast reduction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Breast reduction naturally includes a lifting effect, but it can also be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction, as part of a mummy makeover if appropriate. Your surgeon will advise whether combining procedures is safe and suitable for your goals.
