EVERYTHING ABOUT BREAST ENLARGEMENT

Breast augmentation is an aesthetic and plastic surgery performed using a prosthesis. It is often applied when the patient finds her breasts small, drooping, unvained, isn’t formally desired and generally dissatisfied with her breasts. In addition to making the existing breasts large, upright, full and shaped according to the patient's expectation, the operation can also be performed under congenital absence conditions. Today, silicone is the most commonly used and preferred prosthesis material in breast augmentation operations. Although not very common, other than silicone body oil or ready-made fillings taken from the person's own body for growth purposes can also be used.

HOW IS BREAST ENLARGEMENT OPERATION DONE?

The aesthetic expectations of the patient are of great importance in breast augmentation which is an aesthetic surgical operation. Aesthetic expectation may be a certain breast size and shape in the patient's head. Taking into consideration these expectations, the aesthetic surgeon forms the scope of the operation by presenting the material and method suggestions that will provide the closest and most appropriate result to the patient in accordance with the physical structure of the patient (height, weight, regional weight distribution, chest cage width, etc.). Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery is 1-2 hours.

WHAT ARE THE PROPERTIES OF SILICONE USED IN BREAST ENLARGEMENT OPERATION?

The content of the prosthesis used in breast augmentation surgery, silicon, has been used in many medical operations since the 1960s, is a material compatible with the human body. Many studies have concluded that there is no need to worry that medical silicone material will cause discomfort in the body. In addition to being medically safe, since the silicone material is used as a gel in the sheath, it also has positive effects in providing the desired breast size (desired size and diameter) and formal characteristics (round, drop, etc.).

HOW LONG IS THE HEALING PROCESS AFTER BREAST ENLARGEMENT OPERATION?

The pain that may be felt in the first postoperative period is not intolerable and can be prevented with painkillers. The patient is discharged on the same day or the following day and can return to work and social life within a week. Within a few weeks, the prosthesis has a normal breast feel in terms of tension, softness and naturalness. In the first month, especially sport activities that may force the chest area should be avoided.
