Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure typically performed using silicone implants. In some cases, fat tissue taken from the patient’s own body can also be used. However, silicone implants are the most preferred method due to their longevity, shape control, and reliability.
Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants
Breast Augmentation with Fat Injection (for more limited volume increase)
Women with structurally small breasts
Those who have experienced volume loss in their breasts after childbirth and breastfeeding
Those with breast deformity or volume asymmetry
Individuals whose breast tissue development was insufficient during puberty
Those seeking a more feminine, balanced, and aesthetic body profile
People in good general health with realistic expectations
Before the surgery, the patient’s breast structure, body proportions, skin quality, and expectations are evaluated in detail. The implant’s:
Shape (teardrop or round?)
Size (measured in cc)
Surface (smooth or textured)
Placement (submuscular or subglandular)
Incision Site (inframammary fold, periareolar, or axillary)
are planned together with the patient. If necessary, the post-surgery appearance can be previewed using 3D simulation technologies.
It is performed under general anesthesia.
The surgery typically takes about 1-1.5 hours.
The implant is inserted through the chosen incision.
Bleeding is controlled, and the incision is closed with aesthetic sutures.
The patient can be discharged on the same day or may stay in the hospital for 1 night.
Submuscular: Provides a more natural look. Especially preferred for individuals with thin skin.
Subglandular: Can be applied to individuals with sufficient breast tissue. Recovery time is faster.
Dual Plane: The upper part is placed under the muscle, the lower part under the breast tissue. Offers the most natural and long-term results.
Mild pain, tightness, and swelling may occur in the first few days.
A special sports bra should be worn for 4-6 weeks.
Daily activities can be resumed within 3-5 days.
Sports and heavy exercises should be avoided for 1 month.
Stitches usually dissolve on their own; dressings are done under doctor’s supervision.
It may take 3-6 months for the breasts to take their final shape after surgery.
Can silicone implants rupture or cause harm?
No. Modern silicone implants are highly durable, and thanks to their special structure, the risk of leakage or rupture is very low.
Will there be scars after breast augmentation?
Incisions are usually made with aesthetic sutures and positioned in concealed areas. Over time, the scars fade and become unnoticeable.
Is breastfeeding ability affected?
In surgeries performed with the correct technique, breastfeeding function is generally preserved.
How long do implants last?
New generation silicone implants are lifelong. However, periodic check-ups are recommended.
Prices vary depending on the brand and size of the implant to be used, the conditions of the hospital where the surgery will be performed, and additional procedures.
