Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation is an aesthetic operation intended for those who are not satisfied with their breast size due to genetic reasons or tissue loss. The aim of breast augmentation surgery is to place the most suitable breast prosthesis in the breast. It is a surgical operation that ensures patients are physically and psychologically satisfied.

Breast augmentation surgery is planned according to the patient’s needs, and implants are selected accordingly. In some cases, the breast is volumized only by injecting fat into the breast. In Turkey, Mentor or Motiva brand implants are generally used in breast augmentation surgeries. The choice of implant size in breast augmentation surgery is determined by the patient’s request and the doctor’s physical examination.

Breast augmentation surgery takes approximately 45 minutes to 1.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. It is recommended to stay overnight in the hospital for observation and treatment.

Unfortunately, the idea that breast implants are durable for life and do not need to be replaced is not true. FDA-approved silicone implants should be replaced every 15-25 years, but this is a subject that is only discussed between the manufacturers. Breast implants can be replaced if there is sagging in the breast or if a larger or smaller silicone implant is desired. Patients may also want to change the implants to feel more secure. Today, breast implants are reliable, but there is no definite duration of use. Most patients use them for life. According to research, only one in five patients who use breast implants change their breast prosthesis.

The cost of breast augmentation surgery in Turkey can vary depending on the doctor and clinic. There are several reasons for this:

1. The brand and quality of the breast implant used.
2. Your plastic surgeon’s experience in breast augmentation surgery.
3. The quality of the hospital where the breast augmentation surgery will be performed.
4. What services, such as hotel, transfer, private nurse, and medicines, will be offered to you during the operation.

The criteria mentioned above may affect the price of breast augmentation surgery in Turkey. In general, the package price of breast augmentation surgery in Turkey can range from $4,500 to $6,000, but it can be found at cheaper prices. The patient has the choice in this regard.

The breast implants we use have been developed with new techniques and devices. The purpose of these techniques is to create a feeling of natural breast tissue in the breast implant. The special gels in these silicone implants mimic natural breast tissue and create a perfect tissue feeling in the breast. For breast augmentation surgery, it is not enough for the implant to be good. It is useful to choose a doctor who specializes in this subject.

We are often asked whether breast augmentation surgery causes pain or soreness. Based on the experiences of our previous patients, breast augmentation surgery is mildly painful.

Breast augmentation surgeries are determined according to the patient’s breast tissue and the dimensions of the rib cage. In some cases, the breast implant is placed above the muscle, and sometimes it is placed under the muscle. The pain of breast implants placed above the muscle is almost negligible. Breast implants placed under the muscle are slightly painful. This is due to the pain sensation caused by the stretching of the muscles. These pains are not severe enough to make you uncomfortable.

The answer to the question “Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery?” is YES. Yes, you can breastfeed because milk ducts and milk glands are not affected by breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation surgery does not cause any problems with breastfeeding.

Two different methods can be used in breast augmentation surgery. The first method is breast augmentation with breast implants. The second method is to enlarge the breast with fat taken from the patient herself. Breast augmentation with fat injection is generally preferred by patients who have had liposuction or BBL surgery. Fat is already removed in surgeries such as liposuction, BBL, and tummy tuck. The patient may want these fats to be injected into the breast. What should be considered here is the condition of the breast. Fat injection may not be sufficient for every patient, so it should be decided with a doctor’s consultation before surgery.

In order for men to determine if a woman has breast implants, they need to be familiar with her natural breast contours. Breast augmentation surgeries involve inserting implants under the muscle from the lower part of the chest, leaving a scar that can be visible upon careful inspection.

It is crucial to choose the best breast implant for one’s body, considering implant type, size, and placement. It is recommended to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon for this. If the implant is placed above the muscle and the silicone size is disproportionate, it may be noticeable to men. However, if the silicone is placed under the muscle and is proportionate to the body, it is less likely to be noticed.

Remember to wear a special bra or sports bra for about 6-7 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. Wear it day and night. Do not wear a regular bra for 6-7 weeks because the lower hard parts of regular bras can strain your stitches, delay the healing of your stitches, and cause the stitches to open.

Like every plastic surgery operation, breast augmentation surgery has risks. To minimize these risks, choose an experienced plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation surgery may seem like an easy surgery, but a good plastic surgeon will examine your breast tissue and structure to plan the most suitable breast augmentation surgery for you.

Risks of breast augmentation surgery include infection, breast pain, loss of nipple, loss of sensation in the breast, and implant shifts.

During the first week after breast augmentation surgery, your implants may feel compressed. It is normal for one breast to appear larger or smaller than the other, and for your nipples to point downwards.

Swelling and edema occur in the breast during the first week after surgery, which can make the breast look more unusual than it should. Do not be alarmed by this situation. As the edema and swelling decrease, the breast will take its proper position. In the meantime, you should not neglect to use your breast corset or sports corset for 6-7 weeks.

Breast tissue may start to sag and age due to the effects of gravity. Your breast implants may not make your breasts look as voluminous as before, but this is not the case for every patient. Some patients may choose to address this situation with new implants. Breast prosthesis can be replaced after general check-ups, and sometimes breast silicone implants can be inserted together with a breast lift.

One of the main reasons why plastic surgery is less expensive in Turkey is due to the high exchange rate difference between the Turkish lira and the dollar or euro.

You should take care of yourself during the recovery period after breast augmentation surgery.

Do not raise your arms excessively. Do not carry heavy loads. After four weeks, start light sports. Use a sports bra for 6-7 weeks. Plan for people to help with housework in the first week. If you have a strenuous job, try to take 1 to 2 weeks off after surgery.

If you want to remove your breast implants, you can discuss this with your doctor. In cases where implant removal is necessary, your implants can be removed through a surgical operation. New implants can be placed.

Breast implants inserted during breast augmentation surgery do not affect the birth process or the ability to become pregnant.

The natural appearance of the breast after breast augmentation surgery depends on the implant used, the experience of your plastic surgeon, and the post-surgery care you follow. Breast augmentation surgery should be planned by selecting the implant that is compatible with you, checking the implant type, size, and the condition of your breast tissue.

According to a study, men prefer breasts that are more shaped and erect rather than larger or smaller breasts.

One of the most common questions after breast augmentation surgery is whether it is safe for your partner to touch your breasts. While it can be frustrating to limit sexual activity during the healing process, it is important to avoid any excessive pressure on the implants or damage to the stitches. It is recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks after surgery before engaging in sexual activity and to be cautious during this time to prevent any damage to the implants or stitches.

For the first week or two after breast augmentation surgery, it is recommended to sleep on your back in a slightly elevated position to reduce swelling. After two weeks, you can return to sleeping on your side.

It is recommended to wear a sports bra for 6-7 weeks after breast augmentation surgery while sleeping.

Sleeping on your stomach after breast augmentation surgery can put pressure on the implants and cause them to shift, which can damage the stitches. It is recommended to avoid sleeping on your stomach for at least the first few weeks after surgery.

You should wear a sports bra after breast augmentation surgery. When choosing a sports bra, make sure it is not too big or too small. It should cover your breasts properly.

It is not normal for breast implants to start hurting after 5 years. You should consult your doctor about this.

Doctors experienced in breast augmentation can provide a natural appearance with appropriate implant selection and the right technique.

After 3 days of breast augmentation surgery, you will experience very little pain and can resume your daily activities. However, you should avoid lifting heavy objects and stretching your arms excessively. You may experience swelling and edema in your breasts, so it is important to drink plenty of fluids.
