Breast Surgery

Breast aesthetics is one of the most common aesthetic surgery procedures performed by plastic surgeons in the world and in our country. Breast aesthetic surgeries are generally performed for aesthetic and reconstructive reasons. The breast, which is the most important part of the female body, has physiological, aesthetic and anatomical roles. Various breast aesthetic applications can be used in cases such as small, large, saggy or asymmetrical breasts, which are important in terms of fertility and sexuality.

What are Breast surgeries?

Aesthetic surgical procedures performed by interfering with the breast structure in order for women to have breasts of ideal size and appearance are called breast aesthetics. Breast aesthetics can be applied both to improve the aesthetic appearance and to eliminate some health problems. Breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lift operations are performed within the scope of breast aesthetics.

How are Breast surgeries Performed?

The process of breast surgeries varies according to the scope of the procedure. However, all breast aesthetic surgeries are performed under general anesthesia.

Breast augmentation surgery is applied to women who want their breasts to be more voluminous and fuller. It should not be forgotten that the breasts should be brought to a size proportional to the rest of the patient's body in order for the result to be natural. Silicone implants to be used in breast augmentation surgery are determined for the patient. The selected implant is placed by making an incision with the most appropriate technique for the patient.

Although breast reduction surgery seems to be a preferred procedure for aesthetic reasons, it is an effective method used to eliminate health problems caused by breasts that are larger than normal. In breast reduction surgery, which is performed with patient-specific techniques according to the size of the breasts, the breasts are reshaped by removing the excess tissues. In this way, it is possible to have breasts that are proportional to the body and have an aesthetic appearance, and to eliminate many health problems, especially back, neck and shoulder pain caused by the size of the breasts.

Breast lift surgery is applied to eliminate deformation, sagging and deformities of the breasts for various reasons. The technique to be used in breast lift surgery, which also includes the use of silicone implants when necessary, is determined specifically for the patient. By reshaping the breast tissues, the breasts are lifted. Breast lift can be combined with both breast augmentation and breast reduction surgery.

Who Can Have Breast Surgeries ?

Breast symmetry;

• Insufficient breast development, breast hypertrophy
• Breast sagging caused by weight changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and aging
• It can be used on people who have breast asymmetry issues.
• Breast aesthetic procedures can also be used when the breasts are larger or smaller than normal, or when the breasts are out of proportion to the rest of the body.

Breast aesthetic surgeries is primarily used after the age of 18, when breast development has been completed. However, if the problem to be resolved has a negative psychological and physical impact on the person, and if the doctor and family agree, it may be possible to perform breast aesthetic surgeries on people under the age of 18. On the other hand, the general health status of the people who will undergo breast aesthetic surgery should not be an obstacle to the surgery.

Healing Process After Breast Surgeries

The recovery process after breast aesthetic surgeries may vary depending on the surgery performed and the scope of the procedure. However, it is very important to follow the recommendations of the plastic surgeon after the surgery and to use the prescribed drugs regularly for the healing process to take place in a healthy way.

Although there may be differences in each breast aesthetic surgery, edema and pain may occur in the application area. It is important to avoid heavy exercise and movements that can cause strain, usually for 3 to 6 weeks. In order to ensure the permanence of the results to be obtained after the surgery, it is necessary to maintain the ideal weight. A sports bra is used for the specified period after breast surgery. Lying face down should be avoided during the healing process.
