Breast Augmentation
Depending on the patient's preference, the size of the breast is enlarged with the implant by leaving a small scar only around the nipple or under the breast line. This procedure can be performed by using only the patient's own fat or by using the implant and fat together. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the patient is hospitalized for one day. Breast augmentation can be combined with lifting surgery according to the patient's needs.

What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure performed to increase breast volume and achieve a fuller and more shaped appearance. This operation can be performed with silicone implants or fat injection.
Who is it suitable for?
Breast augmentation surgery is suitable for people who have small or asymmetrical breasts, who have lost volume after childbirth or who want to have a fuller breast structure. Good general health is an important criterion for surgery.
Preoperative Preparation
Before the operation, a detailed consultation is held with the doctor to determine the appropriate implant type, size and placement method. Blood tests and general health checks are performed. If you smoke, it is recommended to quit at least two weeks before surgery.
How is the surgery performed?
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. Implants are usually placed under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. Incisions are usually made in the inframammary fold, in the armpit or around the nipple.
Recovery Process
Mild pain, swelling and tenderness may be felt for the first few days after surgery. The use of supportive bras recommended by the doctor accelerates the healing process. Heavy physical activities should be avoided and the doctor's instructions should be followed. It is possible to return to normal activities in an average of 4 to 6 weeks.
Things to Consider After Surgery
- Hygiene of the surgical site must be observed.
- Medicines prescribed by the doctor should be used regularly.
- In the first weeks, lying face down should be avoided.
- Check-ups should be regular.
Possible Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation surgery has some risks. Complications such as infection, bleeding, implant displacement, capsular contracture and loss of sensation can be seen, although rarely. These risks are minimized in operations performed by an experienced surgeon.
