Breast Enlargement - Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical operation that is about augmenting the breasts with different types of implants. The operation is also known as augmentation mammoplasty. It may also be possible to give the breast a more rounded appearance with implants.

Why is Breast Augmentation Operation Performed?

There are several reasons for you to choose breast augmentation surgery. Some of these reasons are:

• Feeling more confident about your appearance
• Correct unsymmetrical breast problems
• Restoring the breast after breast cancer treatment
• To have a better look under the clothes

Augmentation Surgery Operation Steps

The operation requires an incision in one of three places. These three places are under breast, armpit or nipple area wrinkles. The location of the surgical incision depends on the implant size and the patient's conditions.

Later, the surgeon creates special incisions under the chest muscle called the pectoral muscle. Breast implants made of different materials are positioned with these special incisions created under the muscle. After the implants are placed, the incision is closed with stitches. Different types of implants with saline breast implants or silicone gel breast implants that can have different sizes are possible options for this augmentation procedure.

Pain After Breast Augmentation Surgery

In general, breast augmentation surgery is a painless procedure. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort after surgery. Since the operation is performed under general anesthesia during the operation, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort.

Possible Risks of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Like all other cosmetic surgeries, there are some risks associated with this surgery. However, the risks of breast augmentation are generally small and temporary. Some of the risks can be listed as follows:

• Post-operative infection
• Pain in the operation area
• Capsule contracture, which is the scar tissue around the implant
• The implant moves to another position
• Implant ruptures

Post-Operation Recovery After Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery may take several weeks to heal. However, it is quite possible for the patient to return to his daily life and activities just one week after the operation. It is important to avoid intense movements for 4-6 weeks. In addition, patients should wear a corset (compression band), sports bra or surgical bra after surgery. This will prevent any swelling and displacement of the implant.
