What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, medically known as reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body frame. It is one of the few cosmetic procedures that delivers both aesthetic improvement and functional relief — reducing chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of overly large breasts.
Beyond physical discomfort, excessively large breasts can cause deep grooves in the shoulders from bra straps, persistent skin rashes beneath the breast fold, postural problems, difficulty exercising, and significant self-consciousness. Many women describe breast reduction as the single most life-changing cosmetic procedure they have undergone.
The procedure uses an anchor-shaped or lollipop incision pattern, takes two to three hours, and typically removes 300 to 1,000 grams of tissue per breast. Your surgeon repositions the nipple and areola to sit at a natural height on the newly shaped breast. The result is smaller, lighter, firmer breasts that sit higher on the chest wall and are proportionate to your frame.
At MedProper Istanbul, breast reduction is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons who are members of ISAPS and TSAPS. The facility holds JCI accreditation — the gold standard in international hospital safety — and every procedure is tailored to your specific anatomy and goals.

Is breast reduction covered by the NHS?

NHS vs MedProper. In the UK, breast reduction is sometimes available on the NHS for medical reasons, but referrals are frequently declined and waiting lists often exceed 12 to 18 months. Most NHS trusts require documented evidence of chronic pain, skin problems, and failed conservative treatment before approving surgery. Private UK breast reduction costs £6,000 to £8,500.
How much does breast reduction cost in the USA? In the USA, breast reduction ranges from $7,000 to $12,000 at a private clinic. Insurance coverage varies widely — many policies require extensive documentation and pre-approval. At MedProper, the same procedure costs from $3,740 all-inclusive, with surgery typically scheduled within 2 to 4 weeks.

Breast Reduction Techniques
Anchor (Inverted-T) Technique
An incision around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease. This provides maximum access for tissue removal and reshaping. The most commonly used technique for significant reductions (removing more than 500g per breast).
Best for: Large reductions (DD+ to B/C), significant asymmetry correction.
Vertical (Lollipop) Technique
An incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease — no horizontal incision along the fold. This produces less scarring and a more naturally shaped result. Suitable for moderate reductions.
Best for: Moderate reductions (removing 300-500g per breast) with good skin quality.
Liposuction-Only Reduction
For patients whose breast size is primarily due to excess fat (fatty breast hypertrophy) rather than glandular tissue, liposuction alone can achieve a meaningful reduction with minimal scarring. This approach is limited to patients who do not need significant skin removal or nipple repositioning.
Best for: Mild reduction in patients with fatty breasts and good skin elasticity.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Breast reduction may be right for you if:
Your breasts are disproportionately large relative to your body frame
You experience chronic physical symptoms — back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooves, skin irritation beneath the breasts
Bra straps cause deep shoulder indentations that persist even without a bra
Physical activity is limited by breast size — running, exercise, and sports are uncomfortable
You have difficulty finding clothes that fit properly
You are at a stable weight (significant future weight changes may alter the result)
You are over 18 — though surgeons recommend waiting until breast development is complete
BMI below 35 is strongly recommended
You are a non-smoker or willing to stop at least 4 weeks before surgery
Breastfeeding Considerations
Breast reduction involves repositioning the nipple and removing tissue, which may affect the ability to breastfeed. Your surgeon uses techniques that preserve as much duct tissue as possible, but complete preservation cannot be guaranteed. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this during your consultation. Some women are still able to breastfeed after reduction, but it depends on the extent of tissue removal and the technique used.
Recovery Timeline
Period
What Happens
Recommendations
Days 1-3
Moderate swelling and tightness. Bruising around incisions. Drains may be present (removed day 1-2).
Rest with upper body elevated. Surgical support bra 24/7. Prescribed pain medication.
Days 4-7
Swelling begins to subside. Bruising fading. You can shower carefully.
Light walking. No lifting above shoulder height. Continue support bra.
Weeks 2-3
Most bruising resolved. You can fly home and return to desk work.
Normal light activities. No heavy lifting. Sleep on your back.
Weeks 4-6
Breasts settling into new shape. Scars pink but fading.
Light exercise (walking, stationary cycling). Switch to soft sports bra.
Months 2-3
Significant improvement in shape and proportion. Pain symptoms largely resolved.
Moderate exercise. Scar massage with silicone gel.
Months 6-12
Final result visible. Scars fade to thin lines.
Full exercise including upper body. Annual mammogram as recommended.
When can you fly home? Most patients fly home 5 to 7 days after surgery. Flights from London to Istanbul take approximately 3.5 hours. From the USA, Turkish Airlines offers direct flights from New York (10 hours) and other major cities.
When to Consider Combining Breast Reduction with Other Procedures
Breast reduction is frequently combined with body contouring procedures, particularly for patients seeking a comprehensive transformation.
All combinations include hotel, hospital stay, VIP transfers, and 12-month online aftercare. Your surgeon will assess suitability during your free video consultation.
How much tissue can be removed?
Typically 300 to 1,000 grams per breast, depending on your starting size and desired result. Your surgeon will discuss the target size during the consultation. Most patients aim to reduce by 2 to 3 cup sizes.
Will I be able to breastfeed after reduction?
Many women retain the ability to breastfeed, but it cannot be guaranteed. The technique used and the amount of tissue removed both affect duct integrity. If future breastfeeding is a priority, inform your surgeon during the consultation.
Will breast reduction relieve my back pain?
In the majority of cases, yes. Studies consistently show that 85 to 95 per cent of breast reduction patients experience significant or complete relief of back, neck, and shoulder pain. Most patients describe the improvement as immediate and life-changing.
Will there be scars?
Yes. Breast reduction produces scars around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease (lollipop pattern) or with an additional scar along the crease (anchor pattern). Scars are strategically placed to be hidden by bras and swimwear and fade significantly over 12 to 18 months.
How long does breast reduction surgery take?
Two to three hours under general anaesthesia, depending on the amount of tissue being removed and the technique used.
When can I exercise after breast reduction?
Light walking from day one. Light lower-body exercise at 4 to 6 weeks. Upper body and weight training at 2 to 3 months.
Can breast reduction be combined with a lift?
Yes. In fact, every breast reduction inherently includes a lifting component because the nipple is repositioned higher and excess skin is removed. If additional lifting is needed beyond what the reduction provides, your surgeon can incorporate enhanced lift techniques for from £3,362 / $4,290 all-inclusive.
