Breast Reduction Made Easy

Dr. Ahmet Karaca understands the emotional and physical discomforts that many women with very large breasts experience. Patients seek Dr. Karaca’s expertise to find relief from conditions such as back, neck and shoulder pain, chronic dermatitis beneath the breasts, deep indentations in the shoulders from tight bra straps and extreme self-consciousness.

During his 24 years in private practice, Dr. Karaca has performed more than 1,200 breast-reduction procedures, many times the number commonly performed by most plastic surgeons. His patients experience dramatic, life-changing results.

“They may go from a double D cup or a double F cup to a more comfortable C cup,” Dr. Karaca says. “The day after surgery, patients will tell me, ‘Oh, my back feels so much better.’ Patients have better proportioned figures, their clothes fit better and it’s easier for them to take part in physical activities. They feel better, and they say they wish they had had the procedure sooner.”

Circumferential Liposuction Key To Shapelier Legs

When plastic surgeon Ahmet R. Karaca, M.D., began offering his patients liposuction of the calves and ankles in 1986, little had been written on the subject. So he paved the way, learning by trial and error how not only to thin the lower legs but also to make thick ankles, calves, and thighs more shapely.

Dr. Karaca started performing the technique carefully but found the more aggressive he was, the better the result. He discovered that many of his patients benefited when he addressed more than a localized area and instead suctioned around the circumference of the thighs, calves or ankles.

This led to circumferential liposuction, a procedure he performs on about 50 percent of his liposuction patients who need suctioning around the thighs and on about 80 percent of those who want their calves and ankles thinned, said Dr. Karaca.

A new measure of Freedom

"When I' was 18, I looked like somebody's grandmother," recalls a Livonia homemaker whose breasts had grown so big by the time she was 16, "there was no such thing as a cup size that would fit me." Her bosom was particularly burdensome because she wasonlv five feet tall.
