Breast Augmentation Surgery (Breast Enlargement – Silicone Implants)

Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to give women’s breasts a fuller, more aesthetic, and proportionate appearance. As one of the most preferred aesthetic operations, this surgery is chosen to both improve physical appearance and boost self-confidence. Thanks to advancing technology, it is now possible to achieve extremely natural-looking results.

What is Breast Augmentation?

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.

Application Methods:

  • Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants

  • Breast Augmentation with Fat Injection (for more limited volume increase)

Who are Suitable Candidates for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

  • 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

Pre-Breast Augmentation Surgery Evaluation

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.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

  • 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.

Implant Placement Techniques:

  1. Submuscular: Provides a more natural look. Especially preferred for individuals with thin skin.

  2. Subglandular: Can be applied to individuals with sufficient breast tissue. Recovery time is faster.

  3. 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.

Recovery Process

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
