Breast Implants and Incision in Breast Augmentation
The special silicone implants that we use during breast augmentation, have the shape and feel of real. Their composition varies, as you can choose between a silicone case that also contains silicone gel, or a silicone case that contains saline. In addition to the feel of an insert, shape also plays an important role. There are implants that are round but also in the shape of tears. Most plastics prefer round ones, as they do not change the shape of the breast in case of small movement. They also look more natural in an upright position but also in a horizontal position.The implant can be placed above or below the pectoralis muscle. If placed under the muscle, the pain and swelling postoperatively are more intense. The insertion incision is made in such a way that it is not visible after breast augmentation. The three areas where the incision is made are below the breast (sub-incision), around the nipple or in the armpit (axillary incision). After discussion with the doctor and based on the particularities of your body, the appropriate incision point will be selected.

Do you see a big difference in the size of your two breasts? If the answer to the previous questions is yes, then you are a good candidate for breast augmentation!Another important use of silicone implants is reconstructive surgery which involves women who have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer.

FAQ about Breast Augmentation
1Can I do breast augmentation with fat transfer instead of implants?
In order to increase the size of the breasts by placing fat, it is necessary to transfer the fat from another part of the same patient. So, if another part of your body needs liposuction, we utilize this fat by transferring it to the breasts. This technique is used on average in 10% of breast prosthesis cases.
2Which implants have the most natural feeling in the touch but also in the face?
Silicone implants are the ones that have the softest feel. On the face are also the ones that are closer to reality, but this always has to do with the size that the patient chooses. A harmonious result with ideal proportions always looks more natural!
3How long does it take for a patient to fully recover after breast augmentation?
Most cases have fully recovered on average in the sixth week after surgery. But the patient feels perfectly well after the end of the first week. Your body-based plastic surgeon will evaluate your case and give you a personal recovery schedule.
4I have heard that breast augmentation surgery is a painful procedure. Is true;
It is true that the pain is intense in the first days after the operation. However, special painkillers will be given based on your needs. The pain will subside soon and the result will justify you! With an experienced plastic surgeon you have nothing to fear!
5Is there a suitable age for breast augmentation?
It is universally recommended for women over the age of 18 to add saline implants. For silicone implants the youngest age is 22 years.
6Is it possible for the size of the implants to look smaller than they were at the beginning?
It is common, for the first time after the operation, for the implants to be pressed and to be higher than their normal position. This is because the breast tissues that hold them in place are tight, which will change over time. In the process, they will relax and the implant will take its rightful place.
7Why should I not raise my hands the first time after surgery?
For the first two weeks after breast augmentation, you should avoid lifts. This way you will avoid the possibility of bleeding and any movement of the implants.
