Breast Augmentation

From past to present, many meanings have been attributed to the female body, and it continues to be assigned a meaning. While this sequence of meanings sometimes symbolized the ideal, attractive and erotic femininity, sometimes it symbolized fertility, nurturing and nurturing. Consider the Venus of Willendorf, one of the most famous relics from the Old Stone Age. The Venus of Willendorf, which symbolizes the mother goddess, is symbolized by a rather large breast form that we can call exaggerated today. Another similar one is the ivory Venus, known as the Venus of Hohle Fels and dated to about 30,000 years ago. Some circles today say that the main reason why large breast tissue is attractive is the figure of the mother goddess who nourishes and feeds in our genetic and historical codes. I don’t have personal research to support this statement, so I don’t know if it’s attractive because it makes you think about fertility, but I can say that in my 20 years of professional life, shaped and large breast tissue that is compatible with the body has always been attractive to many people from A to Z.

What is Breast Augmentation (Breast Augmentation) Surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery; fat injection, breast tissue imitating prostheses, or in other words, implants, or a combination of both. The aim of breast augmentation surgeries, which are reliable and comfortable applications, is to obtain a shaped and plump breast form compatible with body contours.

Why is breast augmentation surgery needed?

breast tissue; has not developed sufficiently since puberty due to genetic factors, drugs used or hormonal disorders; may have remained small compared to the body lines. Breast Augmentation Surgery, which is one of the most performed operations in the world (see Nose Aesthetics for another), has come to the point where it can meet all the materials that patients need for a shaped and full breast form, thanks to medical technologies that are developing day by day; Moreover, thanks to technological developments and renewed methods, breast augmentation surgeries have now become comfortable operations for both surgeons and patients, which can be performed in a much more practical way.

What is the right time for breast augmentation (Breast Augmentation) surgery?

When it comes to the concept of time in aesthetic operations, we should evaluate it under several different headings. The first is the age factor, the second is the seasonal periods, and the third is the periods in the person’s life pace.

The age factor is a factor that is taken seriously in breast augmentation surgery as it is in many aesthetic operations. The reason for this is that the patient must have completed the anatomical development of the breast tissue for any intervention to the breast tissue. For this reason, while the lower limit for age in breast augmentation surgeries is 18, the upper limit is determined according to the additional diseases and medical history of the person. Every individual who is over the age of 18, has no disability for general anesthesia, and has a suitable medical history is a suitable candidate for breast augmentation surgery.

Seasonal periods, which we mentioned as the second factor, have affected aesthetic surgeries in the past, but with today’s technologies, operations can be performed easily in summer and winter, and the patient can have a comfortable recovery period under all conditions. The only thing to consider here is to avoid any trauma to the chest area during the recovery period. It is necessary to plan both summer holidays and business trips accordingly. For example, we kindly ask you to refrain from traveling in the front seat where you have to wear a seat belt during the recovery period.

Which methods are used in breast augmentation (Breast Augmentation) surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is basically performed with 3 different methods. Although each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, the right method for the patient is decided during the consultation in line with the patient’s body structure and expectations.

Breast augmentation surgery with fat injection

Breast augmentation surgery with fat injection, which is one of the methods that can be ideal for those who want half or one size growth, is a reliable and comfortable application. In this method, fat is taken from various parts of the body, especially the abdomen, hips and hips, by liposuction method and used to create a new breast form. Breast augmentation surgery with fat injection has many advantages and disadvantages in itself. Its advantage is that it provides a much narrower scope and therefore a much faster recovery opportunity compared to implant-supported breast augmentation surgeries. The disadvantages are that a certain degree of enlargement can be made in this method. It is not suitable for those who want a much fuller breast form compared to their body. However, its permanence is 2 years on average, so you need to have surgery again and again to protect your new breast form. Another disadvantage is that it is not suitable for everyone. Since fats taken from the body are used during the procedure, the body structure of the patients who want to choose this method should be suitable for fat intake.

Breast augmentation surgery with a breast implant (prosthesis)

Breast prostheses, which are guaranteed for lifetime use by implant manufacturers, are the most frequently preferred method for breast augmentation surgery today. Although the permanence of implant-supported breast augmentation surgeries is long-term, it offers much more size and shape than fat injection.

Composite breast augmentation surgery

In composite breast augmentation surgery, which is the synthesis of both methods mentioned above, breast prostheses and fat injection are used together. In composite breast augmentation surgery, which is an ideal method for patients with breast asymmetry, the new breast size is determined by implants, and the compatibility of the implant with the body and the elimination of the asymmetry between the two breasts are provided by fat injection.

How should the preparation process be for breast augmentation (Breast Augmentation) surgery?

Due to the aesthetic advertisements and promises we encounter every day, when it comes to breast augmentation surgery, sometimes requests and expectations can become unrealistic. In the preparation process, you must first set your expectations correctly and be realistic in your expectations.

During the consultation examination, you should clearly and clearly state your wishes.

If you are using blood thinners such as aspirin, ecoprin, or ready-to-use blood thinners with injections, you should stop taking these drugs 10 days before the surgery, with the knowledge of the doctor who prescribed these drugs.

You should definitely share your medical history with us, including your past illnesses and surgeries (if any). Since breast augmentation surgery is an operation performed under general anesthesia, you should not have any medical problems that prevent you from receiving general anesthesia.

Smoking is a condition that delays cell regeneration in our body and thus the body’s self-healing. While preparing for breast augmentation surgery, we ask you to stop smoking 10 days before the operation, if not possible, at least reduce it.

Considering the operation and subsequent recovery process, it takes 3-4 days to return to social life. In order to be fully rested, you need to set aside an average of 1 week off for yourself.

Breast augmentation surgery is performed in a full-fledged hospital. After the operation, patients are required to stay in the hospital for 1 day. During this 1-day period, the hospital staff is fully helpful, but you may want to arrange your companion for this 1-day to feel better.

Breast augmentation (Breast Augmentation) plastic surgery

Although 12 hours of fasting is required before the operation, when you enter the hospital on the day of the operation, I definitely stop by during your pre-operative preparation and give you general information about the operation. Then, while you prepare for the operation, I dress for the operation and make my final preparations.

Breast augmentation surgery is an operation performed under general anesthesia in a full-fledged hospital. In this operation, as in many surgeries, planning is made with drawings in the area to be treated. After planning, the patient is taken to the operating room by our team and general anesthesia is administered. Then the surgery begins. In breast augmentation surgery, incisions can be made under the breast, under the armpit or around the nipple, but these incisions are minimal incisions of 3.5 – 4 cm on average. The appropriate method is determined in accordance with the scope of the intervention to be made during planning. After the silicone prosthesis is placed, the incision is closed using a self-melting suture on the skin. Thus, there is no suture removal in the post-operative control examinations.

The operation takes an average of 1.5 hours.

In breast augmentation surgery, no intervention is made in the breast canals that provide milk breastfeeding. Therefore, you will not have any problems when you need to give birth and breastfeed after the surgery.

Will there be any scars after breast augmentation (Breast Augmentation) aesthetics?

Although it is claimed otherwise in many aesthetic advertisements, there are surgical scars in many aesthetic operations. The important thing is to hide this trace in the best way possible. In breast augmentation surgeries, if the right planning is done, the surgical scar can be hidden very well and an almost scarless appearance can be obtained.

What should be considered after breast augmentation (Breast Augmentation) surgery?

In the first 1-2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery, your breasts may appear larger than planned due to edema. As the edema passes and the shape settles in time , it will take its planned shape during the consultation.

In the first week after the operation, you should not lift heavy, do not do sports, protect your chest area and never force your arms. You may feel mild, partial pain in the first week after the surgery, but these pains can be easily controlled with painkillers.

You can take a bath 4-5 days after the operation and return to your social life. You can start sports after 2 months.
