Breast Reduction

Comfort and proportion, assessed together.

Understanding the treatment

Breast reduction removes breast tissue and skin to reduce volume and reshape the breast. Some people seek assessment because of physical discomfort as well as appearance.

Auren Global Health helps coordinate your questions, consultation arrangements and practical planning in Istanbul. The responsible clinician determines diagnosis, suitability and any treatment recommendation.

Is it appropriate for you?

Symptoms, breast development, general health, weight changes and future pregnancy or breastfeeding plans should be discussed. Clinical suitability is determined individually.

What to discuss at consultation

The surgeon explains the proposed reduction, scar pattern and likely changes in shape. A particular cup size cannot be guaranteed.

Recovery & follow-up

Recovery includes wound checks, support garments when advised and restrictions on strenuous activity. Scar maturation continues beyond the early recovery period.

Before making travel commitments, ask your clinical team about the expected review schedule, support you may need and when you can safely fly. Recovery varies and cannot be guaranteed by a package timetable.

Risks & important considerations

Risks include delayed healing, asymmetry, altered nipple sensation, impaired breastfeeding and, rarely, compromised nipple or skin blood supply.

Ask about reasonable alternatives, including no treatment, and the plan if complications arise. Informed consent should address your own health history and the specific procedure proposed.

Questions before you decide

Can I breastfeed after reduction?

Breastfeeding ability may be affected by the operation. Discuss your plans and the proposed technique with the surgeon before deciding.

How much will my treatment cost?

An individual assessment is needed before a meaningful quotation can be provided. Ask for a written breakdown of treatment, investigations, accommodation or transfers where applicable, follow-up and any exclusions.

When can I return home?

Your clinician must advise on travel readiness after considering the treatment and your recovery. Leave flexibility for review appointments and unexpected delays.

What determines whether treatment is suitable?

Your health, medical history, expectations and clinical assessment all matter. Alternatives, including no treatment, should be discussed. Results and recovery times vary.

Should I book travel before assessment?

Confirm the proposed care and appointment schedule first. Ask the clinical team about review appointments, recovery support and clearance to fly before making travel commitments.

What should I check before deciding?

Ask who will provide your care, where treatment will take place, what the risks and alternatives are, what follow-up is planned and what the written price includes or excludes.

How should follow-up be arranged?

Agree the review schedule and the contact route for recovery concerns before treatment. Follow the responsible clinical team’s instructions; urgent symptoms require local medical assistance.
