Will I still be able to breastfeed?

Many patients can breastfeed after reduction. The technique used preserves the milk ducts wherever possible, though it cannot be guaranteed.

How much can be removed?

This varies significantly. Dr. Maruf removes the amount necessary to achieve proportion while maintaining breast blood supply and sensitivity.

Where will the scars be?

The most common pattern creates a lollipop scar (around the areola and vertically downward). In larger reductions, a horizontal scar may also be needed.

Will the results last?

Results are long-lasting. Weight gain, pregnancy, or hormonal changes can affect the outcome over time, but the reduction itself is permanent.

01Overview

"Breast reduction decreases breast volume while lifting and reshaping the breast into better proportion. It is indicated when breast weight causes back and neck pain, skin irritation beneath the breast, or limits physical activity. Plastic surgeon Maruf Muradovich determines the amount of tissue removed individually, preserving blood supply and nipple sensitivity."

Scar progression

How the scar changes — from surgery to final result

Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
