Description | What is Tube Stomach Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)?
Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of bariatric surgery. Sleeve gastrectomy is usually performed with the laparoscopic method or as a closed surgery, as it is commonly known in the community.
Reducing the size of the stomach with sleeve gastrectomy surgery limits the amount of food that can be consumed. In addition, with the reduction of stomach size, hormonal changes occur that help to lose weight. These changes contribute to the patient's ideal weight after surgery or to maintain the ideal weight.
Why is Tube Stomach Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) Performed?
Sleeve gastrectomy is done for the risk of health problems, not for aesthetic appearance.
When obesity is not treated, it causes the following health problems;
• Heart diseases
• Hypertension
• High cholesterol
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Type 2 diabetes
• Stroke
• Cancer
• Infertility | The most common cause of breast size is familial factors. In addition, breast enlargement is observed due to weight gain, hormonal disorders, pregnancy, breastfeeding and various breast diseases.
Is breast size an aesthetic problem?
Breast size is a health problem rather than an aesthetic problem. Large breasts put a considerable strain on the neck and back. As a result, patients develop treatment-resistant shoulder and back pain, flattening and deformity in the neck vertebrae. Most patients suffer from shoulder and back pain for years, take physical therapy and have to use a lot of drugs.
When people with large breasts use a bra, collapses and deformities occur on the shoulders, especially where the bra strap passes.
These people have rashes, fungal infections and bad odors that cause serious discomfort, especially in summer, under the breasts and between the nipples.
The size of the breasts causes serious problems in the social life of people, especially in adolescence and young girls.
Women with large breasts have difficulty in finding suitable clothes, have limited arm movements, and even have respiratory distress while lying on their backs and say that they feel as if they are suffocating.
What technique is breast reduction surgery performed with?
In breast reduction surgery, an appropriate amount of breast tissue is left for the person's body and excess breast tissues are removed. The drooping breasts are placed where they should be on the body, ensuring uprightness and recovery.
How many hours does breast reduction surgery take?
Breast reduction surgeries take 2-4 hours depending on the size of the breast.
How many days do I need to stay in the hospital after breast reduction surgery?
After breast reduction surgery, we can usually discharge the patient on the same day. If patients experience discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, swelling and pain due to anesthesia, we consider it appropriate to follow these complaints in the hospital until they resolve.
How many days does recovery take after breast reduction surgery?
After breast reduction surgeries, the breasts heal in about 10 days.
When can one return to social and business life after breast reduction surgery?
After breast reduction surgery, people can return to their normal social lives in about 1 week. We recommend that they start heavy sports activities after about 1 month. If they have a job where they do not exert excessive physical effort, they can return to business life after 1 week. We recommend patients who have a job that requires physical activity to wait 2-3 weeks. | | | | |
Content | The most preferred treatment method for patients who want to lose weight is Tube Stomach Surgery.
With the sleeve gastrectomy method, effective and permanent weight loss is aimed by reducing the stomach volume, and in this way, patients feel full faster with small portions. Since the stomach is shaped into a tube by shrinking, the desire for food decreases and the brain feels less hungry.
We approach the treatment of obesity holistically with our experienced physician staff and personalized treatment programs.
| Breast reduction surgery is an operation performed to bring the breasts that are larger than the person's body to normal sizes. |

Breast Health Package for Women Over 40

What is Mammography?
Mammography is the low-dose X-ray imaging of the breast tissue to look for early signs of breast cancer before symptoms develop. It can also be used for due diligence when a new symptom (lump or focal pain) develops in the breast tissue.
When viewed on a mammogram, breast tissue appears white and opaque (nebula), while fatty tissue appears darker and translucent.
When Should a Mammogram Be Done?
Annual screening mammograms are recommended for all women from the age of 40. Women who do not have any breast-related signs or symptoms are also screened. If an abnormality is present or patients have a new symptom (a lump or focal pain), additional evaluation may be required. Further examination will reveal what these suspected abnormalities are.
What Percent of Women Who Have Had Mammography Have Risky Situations?
Potential abnormalities are found in 6 to 8 percent of women who get mammograms. This group undergoes different additional evaluations, which may include breast physical examination, diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound or needle biopsy.After these additional evaluations are completed, it becomes clear what the abnormalities found on the mammogram are.
What Does an Abnormality Look Like on a Mammogram?
The possible abnormality on a mammogram may be called a nodule, mass, lump, density or deterioration:
A mass (lump) with a smooth, well-defined border is usually benign.
Ultrasound is necessary to see and identify the inside of a mass. If the mass contains fluid, it is called a cyst.
A mass (lump) with irregular borders or a starburst appearance may be cancerous and a biopsy is usually recommended.
Microcalcifications (small calcium deposits) are another type of abnormality. They can be classified as benign, suspicious, or uncertain. Most microcalcifications are benign. Depending on how the microcalcifications appear in additional studies (magnification views), a biopsy may be recommended.
What is the Accuracy Rate of Mammography?
Diagnoses made by mammography are between 85 percent and 90 percent accurate. Mammograms can detect breast abnormalities before they are large enough to be felt. However, a palpable mass may not be seen on a mammogram. Any abnormality you feel while examining your breasts should be evaluated by your doctor.
What Should Be Considered Before Mammography?
You can follow your normal routine before the mammogram. You can take your medications and maintain your eating and drinking patterns. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant or think you may be pregnant, you should tell your doctor as your mammogram may need to be postponed.
What Should I Pay Attention to When Coming to My Mammography Appointment?
The technician will ask you to remove one breast from your bib at a time and place it on the chest support plate. The image of the breast is taken by clamping it between two plates. In the meantime, pressure is applied to the breast, preventing the breast from moving. This pressure spreads the breast tissue, allowing the radiologist to see the tissue better. Also, the least amount of radiation is used when the breast is compressed as finely as possible.
You may feel some discomfort during 3-5 seconds of pressure. If you cannot tolerate the pressure, please let the technician know. Pressure can be more bothersome at some times in a woman’s menstrual cycle. To minimize discomfort, we recommend scheduling your appointment seven to 10 days after the start of your period.

How Does the Process Proceed After Mammography?
There may be temporary skin discoloration and/or mild pain in the chest due to compression. Most women will be able to resume their normal activities soon after their mammogram. Your results will be available within a few days after the test. After getting the results, your doctor will explain everything to you.
How Often Should You Have a Mammogram?
Regular mammograms every year, starting at the age of 40, will enable you to recognize potential risks early.
