Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation, also known as Augmentation Mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. It is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures for women worldwide, including in Turkey.

🔹 What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation can address:

• Small or asymmetrical breasts
• Loss of volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Desire for a fuller, more proportionate chest

The procedure involves inserting silicone or saline implants or using fat transfer to increase breast volume and improve shape.

🔹 How the Procedure Works

1. Consultation & Planning – The surgeon evaluates breast anatomy, skin elasticity, and discusses size and implant type preferences.
2. Anesthesia – Performed under general anesthesia.
3. Incision & Implant Placement – Incisions are made under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. Implants are placed either under the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the chest muscle (submuscular).
4. Closure & Dressing – Incisions are sutured, and a supportive bra is applied.
5. Post-Operative Care – Patients receive instructions for activity restrictions, pain management, and follow-up visits.

🔹 Key Benefits of Breast Augmentation

• Enhanced Breast Volume & Shape – Improves overall body proportion and silhouette.
• Boosts Confidence – Enhances self-esteem and body image.
• Customizable – Implant type, size, and placement tailored to individual goals.
• Long-Lasting Results – Implants provide durable enhancement, often lasting 10–20 years.
• Corrects Asymmetry – Can balance differences between breasts for a natural appearance.

🔹 Possible Drawbacks

• Surgical Risks – Includes infection, bleeding, scarring, or implant displacement.
• Recovery Time – Requires several weeks before resuming normal activity.
• Implant Lifespan – Implants may need replacement after 10–20 years.
• Cost – Varies based on implant type, surgical technique, and clinic.

🔹 Recovery & Results

• Swelling and bruising usually improve within 2–3 weeks.
• Light activities can resume after 1–2 weeks, but heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks.
• Final results are visible after 2–3 months as swelling subsides and implants settle.
• Proper post-operative care ensures optimal healing and long-term results.
