Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgeries are procedures performed to increase the size and shape of women’s breasts. In breast augmentation surgery, a breast implant is placed behind the breast. Thanks to this implant, breast circumference measurements can be increased by one or several sizes. Today, breast augmentation is one of the most common aesthetic surgeries. With breast augmentation surgeries, small breasts will look fuller, larger and aesthetically more perfect. Natural materials made of silicone, called prostheses or implants, placed under the breast tissue help to increase breast volume. In breast augmentation surgeries, as long as the silicones are not pierced and then spread to the body, there will be no negative effects on the body. Of course, there is a risk in all surgical operations. Self-confidence will increase even more in people who have breast augmentation surgery. If the individual feels physically healthy and has realistic expectations from the surgery, this person will be a very suitable candidate for breast augmentation surgery.
Can I get pregnant and breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery?
There is a popular misconception that if a person becomes pregnant after breast augmentation surgery, the silicone implants must be removed. Yes, this is wrong. Because in breast augmentation surgeries, the breast prosthesis placed in the breast is placed under the breast tissue. Since it is under the breast tissue, the milk ducts do not close. Since the ducts do not close, people can get pregnant and breastfeed their babies without removing the silicone implants.
Does breast prosthesis inserted during breast augmentation surgery cause cancer?
As a result of the researches that have been discussed and conducted in the USA for years, it has been revealed that breast prosthesis does not trigger cancer and therefore does not cause cancer. In addition, breast implants are not perceived by the body as a foreign substance. The outer surface of the prosthesis is made of silicone. For this reason, this material makes silicone more durable.
Will I have scars after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery can be performed on the brown part of the nipple and the lower part of the junction with the skin, the fold line under the breast or the fold line under the armpit. The incisions to be made in the surgery will not be visible because they are always inside the folds or hidden. The length of the incision to be made in the surgery varies according to the breast prosthesis, but on average it varies between 3 and 5 cm. Incision scars of these lengths do not leave a trace and fade and disappear over time in the folding areas.
What will I experience after breast augmentation surgery?
Since breast augmentation surgery is not a very painful surgery, it will be sufficient to stay in the hospital that night only for control. The next day, the patient can easily go home. As in all breast surgeries, resistance is used in breast augmentation operation. The elbows are withdrawn 1-2 days after the operation. Arm pain may be experienced for five days after the operation. During this period, you should move without tiring your arms and you should not carry heavy things. You can return to your normal life one week after this process.
Will my breasts sag after breast augmentation surgery?
The answer to this question depends on where the silicone implants are placed. If the silicone implants are placed under the muscle, there is no sagging in the breast after surgery. The reason for this is that the breast prosthesis does not burden the skin as it carries the breast muscles and ligaments. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the patient wear a sports bra for about four to five weeks after breast augmentation surgery.
