Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Breast reduction surgery, medically known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more proportional breasts. This surgery not only improves body aesthetics but also relieves physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain. At İnci Esthetic, breast reduction is performed by expert plastic surgeons with precision to ensure both functional relief and natural beauty.
