Breast Augmentation

Life Time Aesthetic Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery allows you to have full and erect breasts. Healthy results are achieved thanks to the special techniques used in the surgery and the selection of materials suitable for the person.

Breast augmentation surgery is an operation usually performed with aesthetic concerns. Thanks to this operation, a fuller breast appearance is obtained. A fuller breast appearance also helps you achieve a more aesthetic appearance in general. Other techniques used in breast augmentation are more temporary and do not provide a definite solution. However, breast augmentation surgery offers a permanent and definitive solution. This surgery is carefully performed by plastic surgery specialists and the general health condition is prevented from deteriorating while ensuring that the individual has the desired appearance.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

Breast augmentation surgery is performed by taking the patient’s expectations and body type into consideration. During the operation, an implant suitable for the patient’s desired breast size and natural breast shape is placed. This implant is placed behind the breast tissue or behind the muscles in the breast area. These two methods are called submuscular placement and subglandular placement. Breast augmentation surgery methods can be discussed under the following headings:

Breast Augmentation with Subglandular Placement

In subglandur placement, the breast implant is placed behind the breast tissue. Thanks to the placement behind the breast tissue, not only a larger but also a more upright breast appearance can be achieved. This technique may be ideal for individuals with sagging breasts.

Breast Augmentation with Submuscular Placement

As the name suggests, the submuscular placement method is a method applied behind the muscle. In this method, the breast prosthesis to be used is placed behind the chest muscle. Submuscular placement technique helps to achieve a much fuller breast appearance than the Subglandur placement technique. Therefore, breast augmentation surgery with submuscular placement may be the ideal method for individuals with small breasts.

What Should Be Done Before Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Providing Information About Medical History and Expectations

You should consult your plastic surgeon before breast augmentation surgery. During this meeting, especially if you have a hereditary breast disease, you should inform your doctor about this issue. In addition, you should also share your expectations from the surgery in an explanatory and detailed manner. In this way, the plastic surgeon will determine the right technique for the surgery and choose the right size breast implant.

Not Smoking

You should not smoke before breast augmentation surgery. If you are a smoker, you should quit smoking if possible or at least reduce your smoking habits. Smoking increases the risk of complications during and after breast augmentation surgery.

Ultrasound or Mammography

Mammography or breast ultrasound should be performed before breast augmentation surgery. Women under 30 years of age are advised to have a breast ultrasound, while women over 30 years of age are advised to have a mammogram.

Taking Blood Thinners

Blood thinners can cause you to bleed during surgery and make it difficult to control bleeding. Therefore, if you are using a blood thinner, you should inform your doctor about your medication and you should not use a blood thinner at the intervals determined by your doctor.

What Should Be Done After Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Use the Medication Prescribed by the Doctor

After breast augmentation surgery, you will need to take medication recommended by your doctor. These medications are intended to reduce your pain and prevent complications. You usually need to use these medicines to finish one box, but your doctor can regulate the duration of your medication according to your general health condition.

Applying Cold

The destruction in the area after breast augmentation surgery can lead to edema. You need to apply cold to prevent edema and keep inflammation under control.

Avoiding Heavy Physical Activities

In the first 1 month after surgery, you should not perform excessively heavy physical activities such as lying down, lifting weights or doing housework. These activities put the postoperative healing process at risk and may prolong the healing process.

Using Special Bras

After breast augmentation surgery, you should wear a special surgical bra, not the classic bras you always use. It is generally recommended to use this bra for 1 month.

Advantages of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Providing a Precise Result

Some individuals complain that their breasts are small or saggy. Various suggestions such as herbal solutions and the use of medication are made to these individuals. However, these suggestions usually have no medical basis, are harmful to health and do not offer a solution. The only definitive and healthy method that can be used to permanently enlarge the breasts of an adult woman is breast augmentation. This operation provides a permanent and definitive solution.

Does not Impair General Health

Contrary to popular belief, breast augmentation operations do not interfere with the natural functions of the breast such as breastfeeding. Therefore, breast augmentation surgery has managed to be a satisfying operation by providing an aesthetic appearance while not disrupting the health status and general functioning of the body.

Helping to Feel Better

Many individuals do not like their general body appearance due to having small or saggy breasts. Such a situation can cause the individual to feel bad about themselves and lead to loss of self-confidence. Today, thanks to safe and fast breast augmentation operations, the breast appearance that causes these problems can be changed. In this way, the individual can be more confident and feel good when looking in the mirror.

Selecting the Appropriate Prosthesis for the Patient

During the meeting with your doctor before breast augmentation surgery, you can share what kind of breast appearance you want to achieve and ensure that a result that suits your wishes is achieved. In addition, your doctor can choose a prosthesis of a size suitable for your wishes and body structure, taking into account your natural breast shape and general body contours. In this way, a breast image that will please you and look natural can be achieved.

How Many Hours Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Take?

The duration of breast augmentation surgery may vary depending on the experience of the doctor and the patient’s condition. Breast augmentation surgeries usually take between 1 and 3 hours. This operation time may be longer or shorter in extreme cases. In addition, since general anesthesia is used during surgery and breast tissue is damaged, it may be necessary to stay in the hospital for a few hours or overnight after surgery.

Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Painful?

Breast augmentation surgery is not painful. Since the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, you cannot feel anything, including pain, during the surgery. However, the postoperative process may be painful because breast tissue is destroyed in breast augmentation surgery and edema may occur due to this destruction. At this point, painkillers recommended by your doctor may come into play. Thanks to painkillers, the pain and pain you will feel can be minimized.

Can the Baby Be Breastfed After Breast Augmentation?

Breastfeeding is not a problem after breast augmentation surgery. Milk production of the breast is a condition that occurs through milk ducts. There is no damage to the milk ducts during breast augmentation surgery. Therefore, it is not possible to have any problems with breastfeeding. However, if you are a mother who is already breastfeeding or if you are planning to become pregnant very soon, this may put breast surgery at risk. In such a case, you should inform your doctor and perhaps postpone breast surgery according to the situation.

Can I Take a Bath After Breast Augmentation?

You should not take a bath after breast augmentation. Especially in the first 24 to 48 hours, contact of the breast tissue with water can jeopardize the healing process. However, bathing can be done after the 24 or 48-hour period is over and the doctor’s approval is obtained. When bathing, it is important not to use too hot water and not to use too harsh movements.

While very hot water can increase inflammation in the surgical area, making harsh movements negatively affects the healing process of the wound. Therefore, you should be very careful when taking a shower after breast augmentation surgery. If you take a shower after surgery and your wound becomes worse, you should consult your doctor immediately.
