FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY:
Will there be any scars after breast reduction surgery?
The clarity of the scar that will remain after breast reduction surgery depends on three things. These are the applied technique, the person's genetics and environmental factors. To reduce the amount of scarring, the techniques with fewer scars listed above may be preferred in suitable patients. You don't have the chance to change your genetics to leave fewer scars.

MILK AFTER BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY. CAN I GIVE IT?
In breast reduction surgery, a significant part of your milk ducts is preserved. Under normal conditions, you can give milk through these channels. However, since some milk ducts are removed during the reduction process, the amount of milk may decrease. Various studies in the literature have shown that the remaining milk ducts are usually sufficient to feed your baby. If breastfeeding cannot be achieved after the surgery, the main reason for this may be the patient's inability to breastfeed due to hormonal or genetic reasons. Milk ducts cannot be preserved if only the nipple is carried as a free patch. Although this technique is very rarely required, it is a method that can only be preferred in very large breasts (for example, each breast must weigh 2 kg).
