Breast Implant (Breast Augmentation)

Breast implantation is a surgical procedure performed to increase the volume of the breasts and give them a fuller, more aesthetic appearance. It is an effective aesthetic solution for individuals who have naturally small breast volume, experience loss of volume in breast tissue after weight loss or childbirth, or have breast asymmetry. Breast augmentation surgery is specially planned according to the person's body structure and expectations. The goal in breast aesthetics is not just enlargement; it is aimed for the breasts to achieve a natural and balanced form in harmony with body proportions. Therefore, a detailed evaluation is carried out before the surgery. A personalized plan is created by considering the patient's rib cage structure, skin elasticity, existing breast tissue and lifestyle. Protezes containing silicone gel are generally preferred in breast implants. Implants; Can be round or anatomical (teardrop) form. Additionally, there are options such as placing the implant under the muscle, over the muscle, or using the dual plane technique. These decisions are of great importance for both aesthetic results and long-term comfort. Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts on average 1–2 hours. Surgical incisions can be made from the inframammary fold, around the nipple, or the armpit area. The chosen incision method ensures that the scars are as invisible as possible. Mild pain, edema, and a feeling of tension may be seen in the post-operative period. These conditions are temporary and controlled with appropriate medical support. The vast majority of patients can return to their daily lives within a few days, but the full recovery process can take several weeks. Regular check-ups after breast implant surgery are of great importance. To ensure that the implants are long-lasting and maintain the shape of the breast, the physician's recommendations should be followed. Breast augmentation surgeries performed with the right technique and experienced surgeons are safe aesthetic applications that offer high patient satisfaction.
