Breast augmentation surgery  is one of the most commonly performed procedures today. It is performed to restore shape to breasts that are larger than desired, smaller, or unevenly shaped.

Having aesthetically pleasing breasts is one of the most important aspects of femininity. If there is unilateral or bilateral breast developmental delay, the breasts may shrink or sag.

Breast augmentation surgery is an operation performed to enlarge and plump the breasts, creating a fuller, larger and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

In short, we can describe breast shape as taking it from its current state to a different level. This can manifest as developmental deformities, small breasts, large breasts, or even a recessed nipple.

Today, breast augmentation surgery has become a commonplace and easily performed procedure. We perform breast augmentation at our Ankara Private Magnet Hospital. You can visit our hospital, enjoy a comfortable and safe experience under appropriate hygiene conditions, and begin your treatment with our Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery doctor for an initial consultation.

In Which Situations Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

Breast augmentation surgery  is preferred for individuals with small breasts relative to their body size or who have experienced volume loss, either congenital or post-pregnancy. This procedure allows the two breasts to become more similar. It is a procedure suitable for individuals over the age of 18. This is because individuals under the age of 18 are still developing, and breast augmentation is not considered appropriate. Breast augmentation surgery can be considered for a variety of reasons. It is not a procedure that a person can make on their own. Generally, the reasons for this procedure are:

• The patient's breast structure is damaged due to an accident or similar situation, or the breast needs to be removed.

• Sagging of the breasts after a while.

• Dislike of one's breast structure and size.

Before Breast Augmentation Surgery

After the patient decides on surgery with their doctor, a detailed consultation is held to consider the patient's expectations. The patient should share all concerns and problems with their doctor and consider potential complications. The doctor should explain the potential risks of the surgery. Before the surgery, plastic surgeons conduct a detailed examination, perform certain tests, and inform the patient of the necessary preoperative precautions. All information provided to your surgeon is crucial for the surgery.

First, the patient undergoes a medical examination to assess whether there is a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. A detailed physical examination should be conducted to ensure the length of the chest and torso are in line and width. The location for the procedure is selected after careful measurement of breast symmetry.

Afterward, the patient should be informed about the procedure beforehand. Aspirin should not be used, and if so, it should be discontinued one week prior. It is important to inform your doctor of any current medications you are currently taking, and to obtain clear information about whether you should continue using them. Breast augmentation surgery is considered appropriate after nine months for a woman who has recently given birth. If the patient has previously undergone local anesthesia, they should inform their doctor. Smoking negatively impacts wound healing because it reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. Therefore, the patient should stop smoking and drinking alcohol.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

The augmentation rate is determined by the patient's wishes and desires, and the process begins after the doctor's approval is obtained. The exact measurement and size are determined during surgery. The surgery takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The breasts are augmented using a silicone gel breast implant placed behind the breast tissue. Implants placed in the pectoral muscles and breast tissue create a fuller and more lifted appearance. After the implants are placed according to the patient's desired appearance (teardrop or round implants), the nipple is centered behind the nipple. After the implant is placed in the appropriate location, the area is filled with sterile saline. After the surgery, the area is covered with surgical tape and skin adhesives and bandaged.

After Breast Augmentation Surgery

Complications related to anesthesia after surgery are quite rare. Patients are generally discharged the same day. Postoperative pain and swelling typically begin to appear within a week. Regularly taking the medications prescribed by your doctor during pain will accelerate your recovery. Bruising is quite normal and will disappear over time. After recovery, you should choose a bra to support your breasts based on your doctor's advice. It is recommended that you avoid strenuous physical activity for two weeks. A burning sensation around the breast is quite normal. Postoperative stitches are removed after two weeks with your doctor's approval. Patients can return to their normal daily activities approximately one week later. Patients should protect themselves from impact and be mindful of the postoperative sensitivity for one week. Showering is not considered safe for three days after discharge. During exercise, the patient should avoid lifting their arms excessively, but they should not leave them immobile.

Can Breast Reduction Occur Again After Breast Augmentation Surgery?

There is no reduction in breast size after the surgery. However, the swelling that occurs after the surgery can make the breasts appear larger, and over time, they can return to the desired size.

Will There Be Loss of Sensation After Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Loss of sensation is normal after surgery, but this is temporary and will resolve on its own during the healing process.

Although permanent loss of sensation is rare, this is due to the patient preferring very large breasts and the use of large implants.

Will There Be Any Problems With Breastfeeding After Breast Augmentation?

Breastfeeding is not compromised in any way after the surgery. This is because the milk ducts and mammary glands are not touched during the surgery. In fact, the procedure pushes the nipple forward, making breastfeeding easier for babies.

What are the results of breast augmentation surgery?

Post-operatively, the patient's physical appearance improves in terms of attractiveness and beauty. The most important thing to know after the procedure is that weight gain and loss can occur due to weight issues.
