Breast augmentation is among the most common operations performed in the world and in our country. It is an operation in which a breast lift with a prosthesis is performed using a breast prosthesis in cases such as dissatisfaction with the natural appearance of the breast, loss of form during pregnancy or asymmetry between the two breasts. Before the operation, the size of the prosthesis is decided by considering the wishes of the patient. A planning is made by considering the shape of the breast, rib cage, skin structure, nipple placement and the size of the prosthesis.
Prosthesis selection
It should be preferred considering the wishes of the patient. Breast size and volume are decided according to your doctor’s recommendation. Depending on the patient’s height, weight and skin structure, the prosthesis to be selected may vary.
Surgical process and after
It is not an intensely painful process that restricts arm movements after surgery. After 2-3 days, you can return to normal activities. It is recommended to start exercises such as swimming and running after 1 month. It takes at least 1 month for the swelling to improve and the shape of the breast to settle. Numbness or loss of sensation may occur in the nipple and breast skin, but this will disappear over time. It may take 6-12 months for the breast tissue to return to its original state.
About breast implants
In the operation performed in breast augmentation, not only volumetric augmentation is taken into account. A prosthesis is selected that is suitable for the body structure and will not adversely affect the body structure. Breast prostheses contain gel silicone or serum. New generation prostheses are dense and can maintain their shape for a long time.
