Today, even though breasts are hidden in clothes, they affect the psychology of women. Full and shaped breasts are a sign of attractiveness. Today, breast augmentation surgery is among the most frequently performed aesthetic surgeries all over the world. This surgery, which is performed to increase the volume of the chest, is also applied to reconstruct the breast, equalize the volume, and correct the deformity of the rib cage. According to the patient’s body structure, the surgery is performed by placing a prosthesis under the breast tissue or chest muscle.
The incision site is selected according to the patient’s breast structure. The scar is hidden under the breast line or on the nipple edge. The prostheses used are FDA approved. Since the integrity of the mammary gland is not impaired due to augmentation surgeries, they do not interfere with breastfeeding.
Breast augmentation surgery takes about 1 hour. The average length of stay in the hospital is 1 day. It is recommended to use surgical bras for 4 weeks.
Patients can usually return to work after 5-7 days, and recover completely after 1 month. It is necessary to take a break for 1 month from heavy work and sports that require arm strength.
