‘Breast reduction surgery is a surgical procedure that not only gives the woman a more beautiful breast shape, but also lightens her great burden'.
Dr. Caner Kaçmaz

Large breasts cause women to have serious problems, because women with large breasts cannot wear tight clothes, they hesitate to wear bikinis, they have to choose underwear that can hide their large breasts, they have difficulty in performing certain activities, bra straps create pressure on their shoulder area due to excessive load, and rash or irritation occurs under their breasts. Most importantly, the load on the spine causes forward bending from the neck and waist, and subsequently, humpbacks. This condition leads to some social problems and loss of self-confidence in women. With breast reduction surgery, your breasts look more beautiful, and you get rid of the burden on your neck.
