Breast Aesthetic Surgery

Starting from: 3.500 €
Breast aesthetics are operations in which the physical characteristics of the breast are reconstructed using various techniques or implants. With these operations, changes can be made to the size, shape, and fullness of the breast. The implants used in breast aesthetics are a type of medical prosthesis. Among the most frequently used types of breast implants are saline implants. These breast implants, which are filled with sterile saline (salt water) solutions, are wrapped on the outside with a flexible silicone shell. By changing the solution level contained in these implants, the tissue and shape of the breast can be adjusted after the operation. Breast implants, which function as breast silicone, are effective in creating full and voluminous appearances of the breasts.

Highlights

Breast Enlargement

Breast Aesthetic Surgery enlargement operations can be performed by transferring the person's own adipose tissue to the breast area or by directly placing an Implant. In breast enlargement operations, the Implants placed can be positioned between the muscles in the chest area or behind the natural breast tissue location. This application provides one or more clothing size increase in breast size. In Implant selection, it is also possible to prefer Implants of various shapes. Although breast enlargement operations and breast lifting operations are terms used interchangeably among the public, they are actually completely different operations and concepts. Breast lifting operations are procedures performed with the aim of giving sagging-appearing breasts a more cosmetically positive appearance.

Post-Pregnancy Breast Lifting

Breast lifting surgery, referred to as mastopexy, aims to lift and reshape the breast for a rounder and tighter appearance. In these operations, excess skin in the breast can also be removed, allowing the areola, the colored area around the nipple, to be reduced in size. Breast silicone use may also be included in breast lifting surgeries. It is quite natural that as age progresses, there are some changes in the elasticity and firmness of breast tissue. Breast lifting surgery is frequently preferred in this situation. During pregnancy and breastfeeding or situations such as rapid weight gain and loss, certain differences occur in the physical structure of the breast. In these changes occurring in breast appearance, in some cases both mastopexy and breast enlargement operation can be applied together. In these operations, referred to as breast lifting with an Implant, the increase in breast size and the tightening of appearance are accomplished in the same operation. Many people wonder whether breast lifting operations performed after pregnancy have an effect on breastfeeding, but it is known that these operations do not hinder breastfeeding. For this reason, breast lifting surgery is preferred in many situations, especially post-pregnancy.

Breast Tightening Surgery

A breast lifting surgery operation is also a breast tightening operation. Breastfeeding, weight gain and loss, post-pregnancy sagging breasts lead many patients to choose breast tightening and breast lifting surgery for fuller and more natural-looking breasts. Breast Aesthetic Surgery cost varies depending on the procedure to be performed. Breast Aesthetic Surgery cost varies depending on the breast prosthesis material used during the breast tightening procedure, the surgeon's experience, and the breast silicone substance used. One of the important factors determining breast Aesthetic Surgery cost is the quality of the center where breast lifting surgery is performed. Breast prostheses cause the breasts to appear more voluminous, fuller, and tightened. Breast lifting surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Breast Reduction Surgery

Besides all these, breast reduction surgery is also one of the most performed operation types among women. Breast sagging due to size can cause back and neck pain and can even lead to kyphosis. Due to the bra used putting pressure on the nerves in the arm, numbness in the arm can be seen. Difficulty in breathing can occur. As a result of the continuous friction of breast skin with chest skin, rashes can occur in the area called the inframammary fold, wounds can open. People with large breasts may face certain difficulties during daily physical activities. Breast reduction operation can be preferred for many reasons. In addition to genetic factors, the person's lifestyle can also lead to breast growth over time or loss of shape. Among the reasons for preferring breast reduction surgery, factors such as being overweight, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal irregularities, certain diseases, and age can be listed as breasts have grown or lost their shape. In this respect, breast reduction surgery is performed to eliminate both aesthetic concerns and medical problems. Breast reduction surgery and breast enlargement surgery are among the most preferred and most widely applied operations in Breast Aesthetic Surgery. Silicone breast is preferred as commonly as enlargement and reduction operations. Questions such as how breast reduction surgery is performed and what to do to enlarge the breast are among the first questions that come to the mind of almost everyone considering Breast Aesthetic Surgery. Through breast silicones, Implants, and surgical touches, an aesthetic and healthy breast posture can be achieved.

What Techniques Are Used in Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is an operation that lasts between 2.5 and 4 hours depending on breast size and is performed under general anesthesia. Two basic incision methods are used in surgery:
Lollipop incision method: The area around the nipple is cut circularly, then excess breast tissue and skin tissue are removed. If necessary, the nipple can be moved upward. In this method, the surgical scar is less noticeable; because the amount of incision is small and the scar is almost imperceptible due to the color difference around the nipple.
Inverted T incision method: An inverted T-shaped incision is made at the bottom of the breast and excess breast tissue and skin are removed. In this method, the surgical scar is larger, but over time it gains skin color and becomes less noticeable.
Which method will be applied is determined based on parameters such as breast size, nipple position, breast tissue structure, skin quality, and the distance between the nipple and shoulder-hip. At the end of the procedure, care is taken to prevent damage to milk ducts, the skin is closed, and a drain is placed in the area to accelerate healing.

How Is Breast Aesthetic Surgery Performed?

Although Breast Aesthetic Surgery is considered relatively low-risk, it is ultimately a surgical operation, and it is recommended that people benefit from this application without any questions beforehand. During the pre-operative period, the surgeon discusses with the patient the Implants that can be used to obtain the desired breast sizes. By placing the Implants in the bra to try them on, an idea is obtained about how they feel and what appearance will be achieved after surgery. The question of how breast reduction surgery is performed is as much a concern as the question of what to do to enlarge the breast. All of these vary depending on the quality of the preferred Breast Aesthetic Surgery operation. Breast Aesthetic Surgery operations are surgeries performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, the patient is asleep during the operation. Some simple operations, although not very frequently, can also be performed under local anesthesia. One of the important points in silicone breast operations and other Breast Aesthetic Surgery operations is which area of the breast the incision will be made. The most frequent areas where these incisions are applied are as follows:
Inframammary incision performed at the bottom of the breast
Transaxillary incision performed from the armpit
Periareolar incision performed around the nipple

How Is Breast Enlargement Done with Own Adipose Tissue?

In the breast enlargement method without using an Implant, adipose tissue taken from the fat layer on both sides of the abdomen is placed in the breast area. For these adipose tissues to remain permanent in their new locations, they need to be supplied by blood vessels; in order for new vascularization to occur, the adipose tissue is transferred along with stem cells. This method offers a natural alternative for patients who do not want to use Implants.

What Shapes Can Breast Enlargement Implants Have?

Implants used in breast enlargement surgery can be flat, textured, round, or teardrop-shaped. The Implant shape is determined together based on the patient's existing breast structure, desired appearance, and surgeon's recommendation. While Implants containing saline solution are filled with sterile saline fluid after being placed, Implants containing silicone gel are placed pre-filled.

What Should Be Considered Before Undergoing Breast Enlargement Surgery?

Implants do not prevent sagging: Breast Implants do not prevent breast sagging; to correct sagging breasts, mastopexy (breast lifting) application may be necessary in addition to enlargement.
Implants have a limited lifespan: Although the lifespan of the Implant used varies, the average duration is 10 years. Implant rupture or leakage (rupture) is rare but can occur; additionally, weight changes and the aging process can change the appearance of breasts over time.
Mammogram results interpretation becomes difficult: People with Implants may need special tests in addition to routine mammograms.
Insurance coverage is limited: Breast enlargement operations that are not medically necessary are generally not covered by health insurance; reconstructive procedures following mastectomy may be covered by some insurers.
Preparation period: Patients who use tobacco should quit before surgery, inform the doctor about blood thinners or pain relievers and other medications, and not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery. Surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours; afterwards, it is advised not to drive for 1 week.

What Are the Risks of Breast Enlargement Surgery?

Capsular contracture: Scar tissue deforming the shape of the Implant.
Breast pain
Infection: Heat, redness, or fever in the breast can be a sign of infection and a surgeon should be consulted without delay.
Changes in nipple and breast sensation
Implant leakage or rupture
Correction of these complications may require additional surgery to remove or replace the Implants. Also, when symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest pain occur, a surgeon should be consulted without delay.

Breast Enlargement After Cancer

Breast Aesthetic Surgery operations are surgeries that can be applied after cancer treatment for reconstruction or to address cosmetic concerns. These surgeries can be performed by placing different types of Implants within the breast tissue, as well as for tightening sagging-appearing breasts due to natural aging processes. Silicone breast is a particularly preferred method in operations that occur after cancer treatments. For plastic surgeons dealing with breast reconstruction, patients with breast deformations due to breast cancer have become almost part of their cancer treatments. Silicone breast operations should not only be thought of around the question of what to do to enlarge the breast, but should also be considered as a repair method for patients who have deformation or loss in their breast or in a part or all of the chest volume for any reason.

Recovery Process

After surgery, supportive bras recommended by the doctor should be used, and strenuous physical activities and heavy exercises should be avoided for the first 6 weeks. Wound care should be maintained and follow-up examinations should not be neglected to monitor for signs of infection.
