The goal of this observational study is to assess the relationship between female hormonal status and postoperative wound healing in reduction mammaplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does wound healing differ depending on whether the operation takes place before or after ovulation in the menstrual cycle? 2. Does estradiol have a positive effect on wound healing?
Participants with mammary hypertrophy will undergo reduction mammaplasty, and the investigators will measure their hormonal profile (LH, FSH, and estradiol) on the day of surgery.
