What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery is an operation performed under general anesthesia in operating room conditions. It is an operation that typically takes one to one and a half hours. For those with low nipples, it can be carried out either separately or in conjunction with breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.

Breast augmentation surgeries are performed with the person's own fat tissue; It is a method that is generally preferred for breasts with a small volume but a beautiful shape. In this method, the adipose tissue, which is sucked from the basin and abdomen by means of special cannulas, is injected into the breast tissue through special cannulas, after cleaning and purification. In this way, breast volume is gained without the use of any external material.

Breast Augmentation Methods

Breast augmentation methods are procedures performed with the aim of making the breasts appear fuller in women. Sometimes it is applied to individuals who have undergone mastectomy due to breast cancer treatment, or it may be appropriate to apply it to individuals with asymmetrical breasts due to genetic factors.

Use of Saline and Silicone Breast Implants

Breast implants come in two basic varieties: silicone gel and saline.The silicone shells of saline-filled implants are filled with sterile saline (saline).  Some are pre-filled, and some are filled during the implant operation. Silicone gel filled implants are silicone shells filled with plastic gel (silicone). Breast implants come in two basic varieties: silicone gel and saline. Both saline and silicone come in different sizes and have smooth or textured shells.It depends on personal preference as each has advantages and disadvantages. Before the breast implant operation, you should be examined by your physician for medical evaluation. At this stage, you can talk to your doctor about your expectations and get feedback from the doctor. A few days or weeks prior to your operation, your surgeon may instruct you to cease using some medications. The presence of any condition that may require you not to have surgery before the operation is investigated, just like in all other surgical operations. You may need to be under observation in the hospital for 1-2 days after breast enlargement methods applied under general anesthesia.

Breast Augmentation with Fat Injection Method

One of the techniques among the breast enlargement methods is the fat injection technique. Thanks to this technique, which has been used frequently recently, the problem of regional fat in the person's body can also be helped to some extent. Before this technique, sufficient amount of adipose tissue is taken from any part of the person that is rich in adipose tissue. If the individual does not have enough adipose tissue, the implant technique may be preferred instead of this technique. Then, the removed adipose tissue is separated from its useful and unnecessary parts by centrifugation technique. Some applications are made on the parts to be used in the operation and a filling material is now obtained from the person's own body. These tissues are added to the chest area with the help of small cannulas by operation. The operation is usually performed with sedation anesthesia technique. However, it can also be applied with general anesthesia.

Before Breast Augmentation Operation

Before the operation, it would be appropriate to inform your responsible physician about your general health condition. In any case, your doctor will ask for the necessary examinations for the preparation of the operation. The use of painkillers (especially aspirin) should be discontinued at least 8 days before the operation. Again, herbal teas, natural food supplements, etc. should be discontinued, as they may increase the risk of blood thinning and bleeding. Smoking should be stopped 2 weeks before, if possible, as it will impair the quality of wound healing. Since the bleeding tendency will increase in the body in general during the menstruation period, it would be appropriate to provide information on this subject even if your doctor does not ask. Although breast prosthesis does not cause cancer, it can make it difficult to detect a mass that may occur later. For this reason, the condition of the breast should be recorded with a radiological examination such as breast ultrasound or mammography before surgery.

After Breast Augmentation Operation

After Breast Implant

Your breasts will be covered with gauze after the operation. You may have drainage tubes that will be removed in a few days. You may need to wear a surgical bra during this period. It is recommended that you rest for a few days after your breast augmentation surgery. For example, you should not try to lift any heavy objects for up to six weeks after receiving your implants, and you should avoid movements that may cause you to exert too much effort. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication for your pain during this period. Be sure not to use any other medication other than your prescription, and to stay away from drugs with blood thinners in particular. There will be some swelling in the area where the surgery was performed. Over time, the swelling decreases and the scars disappear.
