Breast Reduction Surgery with Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek

Experience Relief, Confidence, and Better Proportions with Personalized Breast Reduction in Turkey


What Is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a transformative surgery for women and men with overly large breasts.
This procedure reduces breast size by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin.
The goal is to create lighter, firmer, and more proportionate breasts that ease discomfort and improve confidence.

Excessively large breasts often cause pain, limit physical activities, and affect emotional well-being.
With a personalized breast reduction from Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek, patients can enjoy lasting comfort and a balanced silhouette.


Who Should Consider Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery benefits both women and men who struggle with:

  • Chronic pain in the neck, shoulders, or back

  • Rashes or skin irritation under the breast fold

  • Limited ability to exercise or engage in sports

  • Bra strap grooves caused by heavy breasts

  • Emotional distress or self-consciousness due to breast size

Ideal candidates are in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations.
It’s important to complete breast development before surgery unless medically necessary earlier.

Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek is a highly experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Istanbul, Turkey.
He specializes in delivering natural-looking, functional, and aesthetic breast surgery results.

How Is Breast Reduction Performed?

The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2 to 4 hours.

Surgical Steps:

  1. Incision Design
    Dr. Şimşek selects the incision technique based on your anatomy and the desired reduction.

    • Circular Incision: Around the areola; used for minor reductions.

    • Lollipop Incision: Around the areola and vertically to the breast crease; ideal for moderate reductions.

    • Anchor Incision: Around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease; for larger reductions.

  2. Tissue Removal
    Dr. Şimşek removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to reduce the breast’s size and weight.

  3. Nipple Repositioning
    He moves the nipple and areola to a higher, natural-looking position.
    If necessary, he reduces the areola diameter for better proportion.

  4. Closure and Dressing
    The incisions are closed with sutures. Surgical dressings or a special bra supports healing.

Most patients go home the same day. Some stay overnight for observation, especially after larger procedures.


Breast Reduction for Men: Gynecomastia Surgery

Men can also benefit from breast reduction, particularly for gynecomastia, a condition of enlarged male breasts.
This procedure removes excess fat and glandular tissue, restoring a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

Benefits of Male Breast Reduction:

  • Improved chest appearance

  • Better posture and athletic performance

  • Increased confidence and wardrobe options

Dr. Şimşek offers discreet, effective treatment for men seeking a firmer and defined chest.


What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery after breast reduction varies by individual, but most follow this general timeline:

  • Week 1: Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common. Pain is manageable with prescribed medication.

  • Week 2: Most patients return to work and light activities.

  • Weeks 4–6: Avoid heavy lifting, running, or strenuous activity.

  • Months 3–6: Swelling fades, scars begin to lighten, and final results become visible.

Post-Op Guidelines:

  • Wear a surgical bra or compression garment 24/7 for several weeks

  • Sleep on your back with elevated pillows

  • Attend all follow-up visits with Dr. Şimşek

  • Avoid smoking and alcohol during recovery

Following these instructions ensures a safe, smooth recovery and optimal results.


Long-Term Results and Satisfaction

Breast reduction surgery offers long-lasting physical and emotional benefits:

  • Relief from chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain

  • Improved mobility and physical activity

  • Better posture and balance

  • Confidence in clothing and swimwear

  • Proportional, natural-looking breast shape

Results are long-lasting. However, future pregnancies, weight changes, and aging can influence breast shape.
Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve the outcome.

Will There Be Scars?

Yes, scars are an expected part of breast reduction.
However, Dr. Şimşek places incisions strategically to minimize their visibility.

Over time, scars fade and flatten with proper care.
Patients should avoid sun exposure, use silicone gels or creams, and follow aftercare instructions.
With patience, most scars become barely noticeable.


Can I Breastfeed After Breast Reduction?

Some women retain the ability to breastfeed after surgery, depending on the technique used.
If preserving breastfeeding is important, let Dr. Şimşek know during your consultation.
He will choose a surgical plan that maximizes your future options where possible.
