Breast Augmentation in Turkey

Breast Augmentation with silicone implants is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing or restoring breast size and shape, especially after changes due to breastfeeding, weight loss, hormonal shifts, or aging.

Implant Placement

Implants can be placed:

• Over the muscle: Beneath the mammary gland.
• Under the muscle: Below the chest muscles.

The choice depends on your individual anatomy and the surgeon’s assessment for the best aesthetic outcome.

Implant Selection

Silicone implants are available in various types:

• Textures: Smooth or textured surfaces.
• Shapes: Teardrop (anatomic) or round.
• Profiles: High, medium, or low.
• Sizes: Customized to fit your body’s proportions and personal preferences.

Your surgeon will guide you in selecting the most suitable implant for your body and desired look.

Preoperative Considerations

Before surgery:

• Undergo necessary medical tests and a consultation with your surgeon.
• Stop taking aspirin, herbal teas, vitamins, and blood thinners 10 days before the procedure.
• Cease smoking 8 hours before surgery.
• Avoid food and liquids during this time.

Risks

Silicone implants are safe and do not interfere with bodily functions or increase breast cancer risk. However, there are potential risks, including:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Reduced nipple sensitivity
• Implant rupture
• Capsular contracture

The Procedure

• Duration: Approximately 1 hour under general anesthesia.
• Post-surgery: A one-day clinic stay with continuous medical supervision.
• Sutures: Soluble stitches that dissolve naturally.
• Protection: Stickers instead of patches to prevent infection.

Recovery

Post-surgery recovery includes:

• Temporary symptoms like minor bleeding, swelling, discomfort, pain, and altered nipple sensitivity, which decrease after 2-5 days.
• Nipple sensitivity typically returns within 6 weeks to 6 months.
• Return to work in 1-2 weeks; strenuous activities after 1 month.
• Scars gradually fade over several months to a year.
• Wear a special bra consistently for the first month and longer if recommended.
• Avoid sleeping on your stomach.
