| Description | | 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. | | | 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 | |
| Content | A mini tummy tuck is a good option for patients who have excess weight in the abdomen, whose skin is too loose for liposuction to be performed alone, but who is too tight to require a full tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck is a frequently preferred method in patients who are not overweight, as it causes shorter scars and faster post-operative recovery.
What is a mini tummy tuck (mini-abdominoplasty)?
In the mini tummy tuck process, excess fat is removed from the entire abdomen and waist area, excess skin under the navel is removed, but no stretching is performed on the part above the navel.
Who can have a mini tummy tuck?
Mini tummy tuck is applied to patients who have given birth but whose skin and excess fat are limited below the navel. Patients with a high navel are also suitable candidates for a mini tummy tuck.
How are mini tummy tuck surgeries performed?
In the mini tummy tuck procedure, liposuction is first applied to the entire abdomen and waist area. In the meantime, if necessary, fat injection is made into the buttocks. The abdominal skin is lifted from the abdominal wall up to the navel. If necessary, the loosened abdominal muscles are stitched together and the lower part of the abdominal wall is tightened. Then, the excess part of the skin under the belly button is removed.
Is it necessary to lose weight before mini tummy tuck surgery?
Excess weight poses a risk to all surgeries. After the operation, patients stand up more difficult, their wounds heal later, and lung problems are experienced more frequently. For this reason, obese patients are recommended to reduce their weight before surgery.
Is anesthesia required in mini tummy tuck surgeries?
Abdominoplasty operations are performed in the operating room environment and under general anesthesia or heavy sedatives.
How long does tummy tuck surgery take?
The procedures to be performed determine the duration of the surgery. If liposuction will not be applied to a very large area, mini tummy tuck surgery takes between one and two hours.
What happens after mini tummy tuck surgery?
During the operation, a drain is often placed on the patients and an abdominal corset is worn. The patient is fed and stood up three to four hours after surgery. Usually the patient is discharged the same or the next day. If necessary, the drains are left in place for a few more days. Since all the sutures are left under the skin, there is no need for suture removal. Two to three days after surgery, patients can go back to their normal life. After six weeks, all sports activities are free. | Breast reduction surgery is an operation performed to bring the breasts that are larger than the person's body to normal sizes. |

What is laser tattoo removal?
Tattooing is a permanent procedure on the skin. Tattoo removal can be done with modern methods when, for any reason, the person does not want to see his tattoo on his body anymore.
Tattoo removal, permanent make-up and stain treatment can be performed with the Q-switch Nd:YAG laser. This process is a technology that destroys the color pigments used in tattoos by focusing. During this very delicate process, the laser sees and destroys the pigment and damages the tissue as little as possible. In laser tattoo removal, which is a long and laborious process, one hundred percent result may not always be achieved. For this, the decision to have a tattoo should be considered very well, and possible future regrets should be considered.
How is laser tattoo removal done?
Tattoo and skin analysis should be done before the procedure. Lasers designed for tattoo removal and spot treatment send the beam to the epidermis layer of the skin, absorb the compounds that give color to the dermis and subcutaneous tattoo, and destroy the chemical substance by breaking it down. The wavelength of the laser; is adjusted according to the size, density and color of the tattoo.
In laser shots, dye pigments are made without damaging the tissues.
While black dyes under the skin are better detected by the laser, more effective results are obtained, while the same is not true for light-colored dyes.
Different wave sizes are used in tattoos with multi-colored paints.
How many sessions does laser tattoo removal take?
There are some environmental and structural factors in tattoo removal. It is important in which part of the body the tattoo is located. More sessions are required to remove tattoos, especially on the tips of the feet and fingers. For tattoos on larger areas of the body, a more effective process is performed and removed. The duration of the erasing process varies due to the color of the tattoo, the amount and type of paint used in the tattoo. Tattoo removal sessions take place at intervals of approximately 1.5 – 2 months. The number of sessions varies according to the person and the nature of the tattoo.
Will there be any scars after laser tattoo removal?
After each tattoo removal session, the color of the tattoo will lighten by approximately 20%. In tattoos where multi-colored and phosphorescent colors are used, the erasing process may be longer.
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
After numbing the skin part with cream or local anesthesia, the procedure is performed by protecting the upper skin layer in that area with the help of a Q-Switch ND-YAG laser and cooler. After the procedure, there may be bleeding in the area and crusting on the skin that will last for about a few days after the procedure. After the application, antibiotic cream should be used to both repair the area and prevent the development of infection.
When should laser tattoo removal be done?
While tattoo removal is more comfortable in winter, it is not preferred in summer due to the risk of staining with the effect of the sun. The time of the procedure varies according to the size of the tattoo. Since the sun is out in the summer, problems such as permanent staining may occur after the procedure. The best time for this is the winter months. | 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.

Breast Health Package for Women Under 40
Our Breast Health Center, which is a part of Yaşam Hospital Oncology Center, offers all the possibilities of technology to provide the best care to every woman.
Early Detection of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that women can encounter in their lifetime (Early detection can save your life).
Self Examination
From the age of 20, all women should perform a breast self-exam once a month (about one week after the start of each menstrual period). If you feel an unusual lump or anything else, it’s important to contact your doctor right away.
What is Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to take pictures of internal organs and tissues.
When Should Breast Ultrasound Be Done?
From the age of 25, annual routine ultrasound follow-ups should not be interrupted. Ultrasound can be applied safely as it does not contain radiation and has no side effects on the body.
What Are the Risks of Breast Ultrasound?
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, to produce images. Ultrasound technology has no known risks.
What Happens After Breast Ultrasound?
After your breast ultrasound, the radiologist interprets the images and reports the results to your doctor. This information will also be shared with you if any additional testing is needed or follow-up is recommended.
What are the Benefits of Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound scanning is non-invasive (no needles or injections).
Ultrasound imaging is extremely safe and uses no radiation.
An ultrasound scan gives a clear picture of soft tissues that don’t show up well on x-ray images.
Ultrasound provides real-time imaging. This makes it easy to guide minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies and fluid aspiration.
Ultrasound imaging helps detect lesions in women with dense breasts.
Ultrasound can help detect and classify a breast lesion that cannot be adequately interpreted by mammography alone.
Using ultrasound, doctors can determine that many areas are caused by normal tissue (such as fat lobules) or benign cysts. For most women age 40 and older, a mammogram will be used along with the ultrasound. For women under the age of 40, ultrasound alone is often sufficient to determine whether an area of concern needs a biopsy.
What Does the Breast Health Package Consist of?
Breast health package consists of General Surgery Examination and Breast USG.
Note from your doctor:
Breast ultrasound is a safe, painless imaging method for examining targeted areas of breast tissue. With breast ultrasound, we provide detailed images of breast tissue and can diagnose cysts or lumps if present. Diagnosing possible risks at an early stage provides a very important gain in the treatment process. |
