WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?

The surgery can be summarized as enlarging the breast volume by placing a prosthesis under the breast. During this process, deformations such as sagging and looseness in the breast are also corrected. Today, the most valid method within the scope of this surgery is silicone prosthesis. Although it is possible to use one's own fat tissue in the augmentation process, silicone prosthesis is the most permanent and satisfactory method.

 

Breast augmentation with prosthesis is performed under general anesthesia in a period of 1-2 hours. The recovery period of this procedure is 1 week and the final results are seen after 6 months to 1 year. After this process, which promises long-lasting permanence, attention should be paid to the use of special bras.

 

Breast augmentation procedures with fat injection are performed with general sedation. Recovery takes 3 to 5 days after the procedure, and the procedure itself takes 1 hour. Final results are seen after 6 months to 1 year. This semi-permanent procedure may need to be done again.

Breast augmentation is generally applied to people who are not satisfied with their breast size. In addition, the procedure can be performed in order to recover the sagging breasts that lose volume with weight loss or breastfeeding. Augmentation can also be applied to women with chest wall anomalies. In addition to all these applications, prosthetic breast augmentation is performed for gender change processes as well.

This plastic surgery is performed for various reasons. The most important of these reasons is the aesthetic concerns experienced by the person. Due to this anxiety, the person cannot wear the clothes they want and may experience problems in their sexual life and appearance. Therefore, the application can be performed for anyone who is not satisfied with their breast form. In addition, the congenital size and volume differences in the breasts are also eliminated by this process.

It is necessary to make some preparations before breast augmentation surgeries. At the first stage, the patient should talk to her doctor about complaints and expectations. In this interview, the doctor examines the breast structure and decides on the implant to be applied and the surgical technique that is suitable for the person. With the determinations and the finalization of the operation date, it is necessary for the patient to quit smoking before the operation this is for the healing process to be fast and easy. The patient should also inform the doctor about the drugs she uses during this process and should follow the doctor's recommendations on the subject. Eating and drinking should be stopped 1 day before the surgery.

In order to place the breast implant, an incision is made in the crease under the breast, around the nipple or under the arm. After the incision is made, the breast tissue is separated from the muscles, connective tissue and a pocket is created behind or in front of the outermost muscle of the chest wall. The implant is placed in this pocket and additional processing is applied according to the placed implant. All of these processes take 1 or 2 hours. However, this period may be extended in some cases. After this procedure, the patient can stay in the hospital for 1 night depending on the general condition. In addition, due to some circumstances, a drainage may be placed in the breast tissue after the procedure and these drains are easily removed after 1 day.

1 week after the procedure, pain and swelling may occur in the patient's breasts, and bruising may also be observed. The scars formed by the application will fade over time, but may not disappear completely. During the healing process, it is necessary for the patient to wear a sports bra or use a compression band in order to maintain the position of the implants. For this reason, the doctor recommends a bra after the procedure and guides the patient. A follow-up appointment should be made if non-absorbable sutures were used in the surgery or if drainage tubes were placed. After the procedure, strenuous activities that will increase blood pressure and heart rate should be avoided for at least 2 weeks. It should not be forgotten that the breasts will be sensitive to shaking and physical contact during the recovery period. During the recovery period, a doctor should be consulted when redness, warmth or fever are experienced.

Breast aesthetics prices vary greatly. The center, type, brand, quality of the prosthesis to be used are the factors that determine this difference. For this reason, a final decision should be made before the procedure and information about the prices should be obtained during the examination with the doctor.

How long is the life of silicones used in breast augmentation?

These silicones are generally designed to be used for a lifetime. However, at the end of 10 years, there may be leaks from the outer surface of the prosthesis. For this reason, annual examinations should be performed.

 

Do the silicones used in breast augmentation explode?

Silicones do not burst, but may lose volume. This loss of volume does not occur suddenly and spreads over a long period of time. In such cases, the prosthesis should be removed and replaced with a new one.

 

Is there any loss of sensation in the area after the procedure?

There is no loss of sensation in breasts after breast augmentation surgery.

 

Will there be any scars after breast augmentation surgery?
