Breast Reduction Treatment

Breast reduction surgery
 or reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size proportionate to the body. This surgery is commonly performed for women experiencing discomfort due to overly large breasts, including chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, deep bra strap grooves, and skin irritation beneath the breast crease.

However, the benefits extend far beyond pain relief. This transformative procedure can dramatically enhance your quality of life. Imagine being able to exercise comfortably, find clothing that fits effortlessly, and participate in activities without being held back by the weight and size of your breasts. The goal is not just a smaller size, but a lifted, firmer, and more youthful breast contour that is in harmony with your physique.

The procedure is highly personalized, with careful incision planning to minimize visible scarring while achieving optimal, long-lasting results. Many patients describe breast reduction as a life-changing decision, offering a powerful boost in self-confidence and physical freedom. If you are ready to alleviate discomfort and embrace a more active, comfortable lifestyle, a personal consultation is the first step. Let us help you rediscover a life with less weight and more joy.

Cost Comparison of Breast Reduction Surgery

Why is Breast Reduction More Affordable in Turkey? 

• Surgeon and Medical Staff Fees: The average salary for a highly skilled plastic surgeon in Turkey is considerably lower than in Western countries like the US, UK, or Canada. This is a reflection of the overall cost of living and economic structure. Anesthesia providers and surgical nurses also command lower fees, drastically reducing the overall labor cost of the procedure.
• Increased Purchasing Power: When a patient from the UK or US converts their currency to the Turkish Lira, they get much more for their money. A package that costs 50,000 GBP in London might be priced at the equivalent of 15,000 GBP in Turkey. This exchange rate advantage makes high-quality medical care feel exceptionally affordable and provides excellent value for money.
• International Accreditations (JCI): Many leading Turkish hospitals hold Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, which is the global gold standard for healthcare quality and patient safety. This means they meet the same rigorous standards as top hospitals in the US and Europe in terms of surgical protocols, hygiene, patient care, and facility management.
