Breast Augmentation in Turkey

It is possible to use breast implants or fat transfer to achieve the desired look you ask for.

Breast Implant

Breast implant procedure, which is preferred as a requirement after postpartum sagging, aesthetic concerns, and breast cancer treatment, is among the popular applications of recent times. Breast implant, in its simplest form, It can be defined as prosthesis products made of silicone and used in internal filling in breast aesthetic operations. Breast implant applications is performed to reform the appearance of the breast which has deformations due to different reasons or to give the person a more aesthetic appearance after the treatment of diseases such as breast cancer. Some women may prefer breast aesthetic operations because they see their breast size as insufficient, while others may prefer due to weight or postpartum sagging. Regardless of their shape, the common feature of prostheses used in breast aesthetic operations is that their outer layers are made of silicone.

Fat Transfer

Thanks to the purification of the fat taken with some devices developed for fat transfer and the injection of appropriate amounts, we now get better results in the breasts as in other parts of the body. In this way, the probability of survival of the transferred fat cells and the permanence of the procedure increase.
There are many plastic surgeons using this method. The fat in other parts of the body is generally used and taken very good results in areas with normal adipose tissue. The breast is one of these regions. People who do not want silicone, whose breast structure is suitable for this procedure and who have sufficient fat in their body can be applied fat transfer.

Composite Breast Augmentation

In this method the surgeon uses both techniques mentioned before.

Crisalix Technology

Crisalix is a 3D modeling technology that displays your post-operative image in the most realistic way. Before breast augmentation surgeries, patients were able to get an idea about the postoperative period by seeing the before and after photos and silicone types. But thanks to Crisalix, they now can examine the changes on their own bodies from every angle with the 3D simulation technique and compare their before and after images. This is of great importance in increasing post-operative satisfaction and conveying the patient's wishes to the doctor more clearly. As in breast augmentation surgeries, it shows the closest result to the truth in breast reduction and lift operations.

Before Breast Augmentation Operation

Things to do before breast aesthetics can be listed as certain things to do in order to achieve a successful operation result.

Physical examination

To make the most effective planning before breast aesthetics, a physical examination of the patient should be performed first. While performing the physical examination, it is possible to obtain the most effective results by applying the following orders:

• First, the patient's medical history should be investigated and evaluated; Thus, physical examination can be performed in the most effective and successful way. By investigating the medical history of the patient, it can be learned whether there is a case of breast or ovarian cancer in the family. In addition, it can be learned whether the patient has vascular diseases and examination of the skin, nails and joints can be performed for compressive neuropathies. The symptoms found can be controlled after this basic physical examination.
• Especially the length of the chest and body, and their width in the same direction should be checked by the doctor. Accordingly, height and weight relationships should be evaluated.
• The quality of the skin and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat are important in choosing the location of the implant to be applied to the breast.
• Breast symmetry should be carefully evaluated. Postoperative changes in breast symmetry should be determined with photographs and detailed results and shown to the patient.
• By measuring the nipple levels, the differences found between the nipple levels should be noted.
• Nipple size and tenderness should be considered particularly carefully, apart from the nipple level.
• Along with the level of the inframammary fold, breast firmness should be evaluated.
• By evaluating the size and thickness of the pectoralis major muscles, different treatment methods can be applied in very active and muscular patients.
• Examination should be performed to determine whether there is a bulk in the breasts or not. It is precisely this stage that constitutes the most important point during the physical examination. It is necessary to determine whether there is a mass formation in the breast area of the person and evaluate accordingly.

Informing the Patient

The patient should be informed about the complications that may occur after the breast aesthetics to be performed. Breast aesthetic operations, especially breast augmentation operations, can cause various complications despite their effective and successful results. In this regard, the patient should be informed about the complications that may occur after the surgical intervention. All possible complications should be evaluated and listed and presented to the patient. In addition, patients with breastfeeding should be informed that there will be no change in their breastfeeding qualities and abilities after the surgical intervention to be performed.

Planning Before Breast Aesthetics

After the things to be done before breast aesthetics are applied in order and meticulously, the data obtained should be evaluated meticulously and the application to be performed during breast surgery should be determined in accordance with a certain plan.

Deciding on Breast Volume

The concept that the patient has determined or has in mind about the ideal breast size greatly influences the final decision on the breast volume to be applied. A joint decision should be made by considering the patient's thought and expectation about the breast size she has, together with the evaluations made by the doctor.

Making Implant Selection

In the selection of the implant, the filling, surface texture and shape of the implant, as well as its size, have an important place.
Filling of the implant; constitutes an element that should be determined at the planning stage of the operation to be implemented. Gel implants have natural ingredients, which are found in many substances in the world. In this regard, gel implants do not have the quality to raise a question mark in mind.

The new generation of adhesive gel-filled implants has advantageous properties that provide a more natural tactile feel. Compared to traditional gel-filled and saline-filled breast implants, the new generation of adhesive gel-filled implants has less fluctuation due to their semi-solid structure.
The surface texture and shape of the implant to be applied; again, is basically an element that is decided by the surgeon. The surgeon needs to determine the most suitable for the patient among the rough or smooth, round or anatomically shaped implants. Each implant surface texture creates different effects according to the skin structure and characteristics of the patient. For example, smooth-walled implants can be applied in patients with very thin skin to reduce prominence. Implants with a rough structure are preferred in patients with thick skin or people with a moderate amount of breast tissue, as they create higher tolerance. Although round implants generally give good results, anatomically shaped implants are preferred by doctors.

Size of the Implant is one of the sensitive issues that need to be planned in order to achieve successful results in breast aesthetics. Generally, breast implants with a volume of less than 400 cc are preferred by physicians because larger diameter implants tend to cause higher complications.

After Breast Augmentation Operation

It is possible for the patient who has undergone surgery to be discharged from the hospital in one day. Although the pain is normal, it is supported by the painkillers given. After the operation, the patient should use the special medical bra, which is given to the patient, for one month. Tissues used in breast surgery are taken from under the breast or under the coccyx. Temporary scars occur in these areas. These traces disappear over time. There is no need to remove the sutures in the surgery performed with the hidden suture technique from the inside. Although the patient feels pain while moving his arms for the first time, this pain completely disappears over time.

Of course, there are issues that you should know about the post-operative period before deciding on surgery.

The first of these is how quickly you will return to your daily life in the early postoperative period. Although it varies from person to person, you will gradually regain your physical activity 3-4 weeks after the surgery. Those who do sports can do low-intensity sports (such as walking, cycling) within 2-3 weeks, and more active sports (such as swimming, playing tennis) within 4-6 weeks. On average, you can start driving within a week. One of the most frequently asked questions by the patients is when they can lie on their side or face down. There is no problem in sleeping on your side, it is possible to sleep on your side a few days after the surgery when you start to feel more comfortable. It takes a little more time to lie face down. There may be pain when lying down, usually in the first few months. That's why doctors recommend patients to wait 5-6 months. But if you do not feel pain, you can lie face down in the earlier period.

Another important point to be considered after prosthetic surgery is to inform the specialist performing the procedure that you have had surgery during your routine mammography examinations. Examination is performed in a special position for prosthetic breasts. In this way, more breast tissue is displayed, and the shadowing caused by the prosthesis is eliminated.

If you experience pain, stiffness, and deformity in your chest in the long term, it is recommended that you consult your doctor. This is most likely what is called capsular contracture. For unknown reasons, the naturally formed shell tissue around the prosthesis began to harden and deform. It is the most common undesirable condition that is seen in the long term in patients with prosthesis. If this situation bothers you, you may need to have surgery again. This capsular tissue, which is set in the surgery, is removed. Perhaps the prosthesis can also be replaced or repositioned. Your doctor will give you detailed information on the subject.

There are also patients who wonder what will happen if their prosthesis bursts. It is difficult to understand that the new generation of prostheses has exploded. This is something that you probably will not be aware of at all. However, it is transmitted to you by the doctor during routine breast imaging. If your prosthesis is older than 10 years, you may see asymmetry and deformation in the breast. Your lymph nodes could be swollen. In the new generation prostheses, we encounter less cases such as tearing and bursting. For whatever reason, if your prosthesis is found to be torn, it is the healthiest method to replace it with a new prosthesis.
