Breast Augmentation

Achieving the ideal result in breast augmentation surgery is not about how much the breast is enlarged, but about achieving the ideal measurements. In addition, the goal should be for the breasts to be proportionate to the rest of the body after surgery.

There are many issues to consider when deciding to have breast augmentation surgery. The most important issue that concerns those who decide to have breast augmentation surgery is what kind of appearance they will have after the surgery and whether they will be satisfied with the result.

Breast augmentation surgery is quite popular today. Although it is easy to decide to have surgery, there are many issues to consider when making a choice. The most important issue for those who decide to have breast augmentation surgery is what kind of appearance they will have after the surgery and whether they will be satisfied with the result.

Another issue in breast augmentation surgery is the choice of plan. Should the implant be placed under or above the muscle?

Those who are going to have breast augmentation surgery sometimes have ideas about this subject. Usually, positive or negative impressions they get from an acquaintance determine their preferences. However, it should not be forgotten that each preference varies according to the person's body structure. The breast structure of most surgery candidates is suitable for both plans. At this point, the surgeon's preference comes to the fore. This preference is still one of the most discussed topics among surgeons in scientific meetings today. In my personal practice, the plan I prefer the most is the above-the-muscle plan. If there is not enough breast tissue, I prefer the below-the-muscle plan.

The second thing that those who will have breast augmentation surgery wonder about is how the shape of the implant to be used is determined.

There are two types of implants: round or teardrop (anatomical). In my personal practice, I use both types of implants. The most important point to consider when choosing an implant is the current anatomical shape of the breast. Better results are achieved by enlarging the breasts while respecting their current shape. A teardrop (anatomical) implant should be used for teardrop-shaped breasts, and a round implant should be used for round-shaped breasts. As in the selection of the plan, it is possible to use both types of implants in a certain group of patients. In this case, the person's demands come to the fore in implant selection. Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery takes an average of 40 minutes. A one-night hospital stay is sufficient. Returning to social life takes an average of one week, although it varies from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is drainage used in breast augmentation surgery?

The use of drainage in breast augmentation surgery depends on the surgeon's personal preference. I usually prefer not to use drains.

2. Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery?

In breast augmentation surgery, there is no intervention in the breast tissue or milk ducts. Therefore, there is no condition that would prevent you from breastfeeding after the surgery.

3. Should submuscular or subglandular placement be preferred in breast augmentation surgery?

The choice of placement in breast augmentation surgery is entirely related to the amount of existing breast tissue. In cases where the breast tissue is sufficient, subglandular placement is preferred, while submuscular placement is chosen when the tissue is insufficient. If the situation is between these two, the surgeon's personal preference plays a role in the decision.

4. Will there be scars after breast augmentation surgery?

In breast augmentation surgery, an incision is necessary to create a space and insert the implant. This incision is made carefully, considering the body's natural anatomical curves. After the surgery, there will be a scar about 5 cm long, but these anatomical curves help to make the scar less visible.

5. Will there be scars after surgery?

The surgeon usually prefers a hidden approach for the surgical incision, placing it in the natural breast folds or around the areola. This way, scars appear minimally or may fade over time. However, everyone's scarring process is different, and in some patients, scars may be more noticeable. Our doctor will provide detailed information about scar management and the healing process.

Breast augmentation surgery offers many women the opportunity to achieve the appearance they desire and rebuild their confidence. If you are considering this procedure, it is important to consult with a specialist plastic surgeon. Dr. Celal Alioğlu will guide you through the surgery process, your options, and your expectations in the best way possible.

6. What is the best implant brand for breast augmentation surgery?

In breast augmentation surgery, implants approved by health authorities are used. The choice of implant brand is entirely related to the surgeon's personal preference. It does not have a direct effect on the outcome.

7. Should round or teardrop-shaped implants be used in breast augmentation surgery?

In breast augmentation surgery, the shape of the implant, like the choice of placement, is determined by considering the individual's existing breast structure. When other factors are disregarded, neither implant shape has an absolute superiority over the other.
