Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

Breast has a very important place in a woman's body appearance. There is more aesthetic difference between two women with the same waist and hip ratio but different breast sizes than expected. Just as an arched nose looks more beautiful when it is adapted to the face, as if the cheeks, chin and lips are changed, breast augmentation is a complement to the general aesthetic appearance of the body. Because we perceive what we see as a whole and we characterise the proportions of objects as beautiful. Breast augmentation surgeries are mainly preferred by women who are young and whose body development is complete but whose breasts remain small or who have lost the fullness of their breasts as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding or excessive weight loss.

There are many methods to enlarge the breast. The most commonly used and most successful operations are those performed with silicone breast prostheses. The breast can also be enlarged with fat and artificial fillers, but it is difficult to achieve a long-lasting and healthy result. More important than the volume of the breast is how this volume will be distributed, that is, its 3-dimensional shape. In order to provide the optimal shape, personal characteristics and mathematical measurements should be evaluated very well. According to these measurements, the volume, height, length, content and shape of the prosthesis should be decided.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we decide?
The wishes of my patients are of primary importance to me, but there are some limitations due to individual characteristics. These are explained to the patients in detail and we make decisions together.
We can evaluate the breast volume as 75-80 cm (32-34 inches) A B C D E cup according to the bra size. The figure 75-80 cm (32-34 inches) here indicates the circumference of the rib cage, measured from the point where the breast joins the chest wall to the back. In the same way, when we subtract the number we first measured from the number we measured from the nipple to the back, if the difference is 10 cm, we evaluate it as A cup, if it is 17 cm, B cup, if it is 23 cm, C cup, if it is 29 cm, D cup, and if it is more, we evaluate it as E cup. In other words, a breast that is 80 A cup before surgery may be 80 B or 80 C cup after surgery. There is an average 150 cc volume difference between each cup.
There are two types of breast implants, drop (anatomical) and round shaped. There are also differences in height and length. The main difference between them is that drop-shaped implants create less décolleté density. It would be best to decide according to the body shape expectation. Generally, implants filled with silicone gel, which are closer to breast tissue consistency, are preferred. Our body forms an envelope around every substance that is not from itself. All breast implants have this envelope around them. Although very rare, thickening and stretching of this envelope can disrupt the appearance of the breast. We call this capsule contracture. If you like the breast shape and there is no uncomfortable hardness, there is no need to change the implant.
After breast augmentation surgery, scars may appear depending on where the prosthesis is placed. However, this scar is expected to be indistinct over time. During the operation, it is aimed to complete the procedure with minimal incisions.
