What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed to increase breast volume, improve its shape or correct asymmetry between the two breasts. It is generally carried out using silicone implants or the person's own fat (fat injection).

Who Is It Suitable For?

  • Those whose breast development has not completed for genetic reasons,
  • Those who have experienced a decrease in breast volume due to childbirth, breastfeeding or weight loss,
  • Those with pronounced asymmetry between the breasts,
  • Those who wish to have a fuller and more aesthetic breast appearance.

How Is the Surgery Performed?

It is performed under general anaesthesia. An implant is selected to suit the patient's anatomical structure and expectations, or the person's own fat tissue is used.

Implant Placement Methods

  • Subglandular (under the breast tissue)
  • Submuscular (under the muscle)
  • Dual plane (combined technique under muscle and tissue)

Incision Sites

  • Inframammary fold
  • Around the areola
  • Armpit

Recovery Process

  • Patients are usually discharged after staying one night in hospital.
  • Mild pain, tightness and swelling are normal for the first few days.
  • The use of a sports bra is recommended.
  • Return to daily life is possible within 1-2 weeks.
  • It is necessary to wait 4-6 weeks for strenuous exercise.

Augmentation with Fat Injection

Fat is harvested from areas of the body such as the abdomen, waist or legs, purified through special processes and injected into the breast. Advantages: natural softness, no incision scar, body contouring at the same time. Disadvantages: limited volume increase in a single session, resorption of part of the fat.

Implant Placement

Implant placement methods.

The implant can be placed under the breast tissue (subglandular), under the muscle (submuscular) or with a combined technique (dual plane). Which method will be applied is planned together with the patient during the examination.

Above the muscle (subglandular)

The implant is placed under the breast tissue.

— 02 · Placement

Under the muscle (submuscular)

The implant is placed under the chest muscle.

— 03 · Placement

Dual plane

It is a combined technique under muscle and tissue.

Incision Sites

Incision sites.

The incision can be made in the inframammary fold, around the areola or in the armpit. Which incision type will be applied is planned together with the patient during the examination. Depending on the incision type used, small surgical scars may form; these scars lose their visibility over time.

Honest answers before your appointment.

Is breast augmentation surgery permanent?

The average lifespan of silicone implants is 10–15 years. However, with advancing technology many implants can be used for a lifetime. In fat injection procedures, on the other hand, part of the harvested fat may be reabsorbed by the body.

Does it affect breastfeeding?

With appropriate surgical techniques, breastfeeding capacity is generally preserved.

How is the implant chosen?

The size, shape and texture of the implant are determined according to the patient's anatomy, body structure and expectations.

When can I return to work after surgery?

Patients with desk jobs can usually return to work within a week.
