Many women complain about the size of their breasts from an aesthetic standpoint. However, beyond aesthetic concerns, medical issues can also arise from large breasts. These issues may include sweating under the breasts, pain in the back, neck, and shoulders, skin problems, and skeletal deformities, among various health problems. Breast reduction surgery can help alleviate these symptoms. Before breast reduction surgery, an evaluation including breast ultrasound and mammography should be conducted to make a decision about the operation. In breast reduction surgeries, milk ducts are preserved for potential breastfeeding, taking into account the likelihood of future pregnancies. The rate of breastfeeding in individuals who have undergone breast reduction surgery is determined by the doctor performing the operation. Breast reduction surgery is performed on individuals over the age of 18, and these surgeries are conducted under general anesthesia.
