Breast Augmentation: Embrace Your Perfect Silhouette
Overview
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. This treatment can help achieve a more balanced figure, restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, and improve self-confidence.
Procedure Options
- Implant Types: Choose between saline and silicone implants. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and offer a firmer feel, while silicone implants are filled with silicone gel, providing a more natural feel.
- Placement Options: Implants can be placed either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular). Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
- Incision Techniques: Various incision options are available, including inframammary (under the breast fold), periareolar (around the nipple), and transaxillary (in the armpit). The choice depends on your body type, implant type, and personal preference.
Benefits:
- Enhanced breast size and shape
- Improved symmetry and balance
- Increased self-confidence and body image
Risks:
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue forming around the implant)
- Infection or bleeding
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Need for revision surgery
Our highly skilled surgeons in Turkey use the latest techniques to minimize these risks and ensure the best possible outcome.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to work within one to two weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks.
- Pain Management: Mild to moderate pain and swelling are common after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications.
- Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding wound care, wearing a supportive bra, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process.
