Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure performed to increase breast size and add volume. This surgery is carried out using implants made of silicone, which are biocompatible and have no adverse effects on the body. Additionally, less invasive methods, such as fat transfer, can be preferred depending on the patient's needs.
While breast augmentation enhances the aesthetic appearance, it can also be used to correct congenital asymmetries or reshape breasts that have been affected by trauma.
Breast augmentation surgery is recommended for individuals who are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts. To undergo the procedure, the patient must be at least 18 years old. The groups of individuals who may consider this surgery include:
It is essential for the surgery to align with the patient's overall health and expectations. Therefore, a detailed evaluation and effective doctor-patient communication before the procedure are crucial.
Today, the most commonly preferred implants for breast augmentation surgery are silicone gel-filled implants. These implants come in various sizes and shapes, and their selection depends on the patient’s body structure and aesthetic goals. The surface of implants also varies. While the most frequently used outer shell is silicone, polyurethane-coated options are also available.
Implants are classified based on the following factors:
The choice of implants should be made collaboratively between the patient and the surgeon to achieve the best results.
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure consists of the following stages:
The chest wall and breast structure are examined. The placement plan for the implant, as well as its size and type, are determined in consultation with the patient.
A general health assessment and anesthesia consultation are conducted before the surgery.
There are three different incision approaches: underarm, periareolar (around the nipple), and inframammary (under the breast fold). The most commonly preferred approach is the inframammary incision. After making the incision, a pocket is created to accommodate the implant. The area is cleaned with antibiotic solutions, and the selected implant is placed. Finally, the incisions are closed appropriately, and the surgery is completed.
The surgery typically takes around 45 minutes, and patients are required to stay in the hospital overnight. The first follow-up appointment is scheduled one week after the procedure. Patients are advised to wear a special compression garment for one month.
