Breast Reduction Surgery: Cost. before and after, benefits, scars & more

For some individuals, overly large breasts are more than a body image concern—they can be a source of physical pain, emotional distress, and restrictions in daily life. Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a transformative procedure that not only reshapes the body but also enhances overall quality of life. This article will explain what breast reduction surgery is, its benefits, recovery process, costs in different regions (including Azerbaijan), and what to expect regarding scarring.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure performed to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin in order to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to the body. It is commonly recommended for women who experience discomfort due to overly large breasts—such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and poor posture.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 2 to 4 hours. During the procedure, the surgeon reshapes the breast, repositions the nipple, and reduces volume—while maintaining a natural, symmetrical appearance.

5 Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery

1. Relief from Physical Discomfort

Chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain often disappear after surgery, improving daily comfort and mobility.

2. Improved Posture

Smaller, lighter breasts allow for better posture and reduce pressure on the spine.

3. Better Clothing Fit

Clothing and bras become more comfortable and fit more naturally, offering greater freedom in fashion choices.

4. Easier Physical Activity

Most women find it much easier to exercise, play sports, or perform physical tasks after the procedure.

5. Boosted Self-Esteem and Confidence

Breast reduction can significantly improve body image and lead to higher self-confidence in both social and personal settings.

Breast Reduction Scars

Scarring is a natural part of breast reduction surgery, but modern surgical techniques aim to minimize their visibility over time. Common incision types include:

Anchor (Inverted T): Around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the crease.
Lollipop: Around the areola and straight down, without a horizontal incision.

Scar Healing Tips:

Follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions carefully.
Use silicone sheets or scar-reducing gels as prescribed.
Avoid sun exposure on healing skin to prevent darkening of scars.
Most scars fade significantly within 6 to 12 months and may become barely noticeable.
