You will also see how the dimensions will stand with special trial prostheses before surgery in our clinic.
In addition to general precautions before breast augmentation surgery, we request breast ultrasound from all our patients. It is essential to do during the six months before the surgery.
You are invited to meet at least twice before the operation; You decide for yourself the size, shape, and how you will look with the clothes with both the computerized system and the real trial prosthesis special in our clinic. All your body measurements are recorded in our system, and the most suitable measurements are offered to you. All techniques and prosthesis forms are agreed with you in one-on-one interviews.
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgery performed under general anaesthesia but with little trauma and lasts for an average of 1 hour. As a general precaution after the surgery, we welcome you for one night. It is comfortable enough surgery to stand up 2-4 hours after the surgery and meet your own needs. After the surgery, you can even enter the bathroom with special tapes. We recommend using your special bra in general for the first six weeks.
Pain after breast surgery was the biggest fear of many patients due to the techniques used in the past; however, with new techniques, more careful procedures, and most importantly, special block anesthesia applied to the surgical area during the surgery, the very feared pain after the procedure disappeared. Of course, you should give yourself some time to adapt your body to the prosthesis.
Is the scar permanent? In general, we prefer the submammary fold. With this technique, which we think is the most advantageous among the options according to our discipline, you will have a scar in the folding area between 3-5 cm on average; this scar will be slightly apparent for the first 3-6 months and then fade. However, it should be kept in mind that the surgical scar varies from person to person depending entirely on the person’s genetic factors and external factors. It is supported by special anti-scar creams and, if necessary, laser treatments throughout the process.
After your first check-up the next day after surgery, you will be discharged with a special bra you will use for the first six weeks. We do not use drains unless necessary. With the help of special tape on your scar, you can take a shower even on the day you are discharged. Then you can return to your social life in a controlled way. It is usual for you to feel pressure in the surgical field after breast augmentation surgery; it is normal for you to feel large early and small in the long term after the adjustment process. Prostheses, which are initially felt stiff-artificial due to oedema, will be felt entirely natural, especially after the third month; after a while, you will feel like you have not had surgery.
Swelling in the early stages, bruising, mild asymmetry, and numbness in the nipple may occur. It will take approximately one year for the breast skin and breast tissues to adapt to the prosthesis. We recommend avoiding active movement for the first three weeks and chest exercises for the first six weeks. The stitches used are spontaneously melting stitches; you can enter the sea or pool after the fourth week. We recommend special bras for the first six weeks and sports bras for the first six months. We recommend that you do not lie on prostheses for the first month. Massaging varies according to the technique used after your first check, and sometimes we do not recommend it at all.
It is not an obstacle because no technique is applied to the nipple, and no intervention is made to the mammary glands and ducts. However, it should be kept in mind that patients in need of breast augmentation are mostly patients with low breast tissue, and this may cause non-breastfeeding.
The next generation of prostheses is a lifetime. Although the companies guarantee certain conditions for the first ten years, the silicones used are lifetime unless the preference changes. All of our patients are given a card with information about their prostheses after the surgery.
The ideal breast size is adjusted according to the person’s wishes and body characteristics.
This mostly structural problem can occur after rapid weight gain and sometimes pregnancy. It can be done in all age patients who suffer from these problems. Breasts, which are larger than your body, are a problem that causes severe back pain, skin irritations and affects social activities such as running and walking. It is a surgery that increases the person’s self-confidence and increases life quality and health standards.
Which technique is applied? In breast reduction surgery, we usually prefer reverse t-shaped techniques that extend around the nipple and down. Although these scars are more prominent in the first 6-12 months, they fade over time after the twelfth month. The critical issue here is whether she will have a comfortable and ideal breast form by accepting the scars or having breasts that do not accept the scars but are not satisfied with their form. Scars are minimized by using special creams and, if necessary, special breast silicone bands for the first 12 months. An important thing to remember is that the scars vary from person to person depending on their genetic factors, level of healing, and external factors ( smoking – sun exposure, etc.).
In addition to general surgical precautions, breast ultrasound is recommended for all patients under 35 years of age; breast ultrasound and mammography are recommended for over 35 years of age. Since smoking directly affects the nipple circulation, this surgery is not recommended in patients who smoke. It can be performed with surgical measures after at least six weeks of a non-smoking recovery period. Low use of sugar before surgery positively affects recovery.
After breast reduction surgery, we monitor you in the hospital for one night; you start to walk in a controlled manner on average in the fourth hour after surgery. The next morning, you are discharged after changing the dressings. There may be mild pain due to movement for the first 3-5 days. In the early days, mild bleeding in leakage from the wound sites, bruising, and oedema are common. We recommend a special medical bra for the first four weeks and a sports bra for the first six months. It is essential to restrict all activities that can increase blood pressure for the first four weeks.
After breast reduction surgery, both breasts’ adaptation to the new form progresses independently from each other and is completed in 6-12 months on average in parallel with the body’s natural healing. Asymmetry, which is more evident at first, is expected. The nipple adaptation adapted to the new place is different from each other and entirely due to hormonal effects over time. Anaesthesia in the nipple may occur at first according to the technique used and its anatomical characteristics and may rarely remain permanent. After surgery, regular dressing, dieting with an abundant protein-restricted by sugar and salt, and not smoking are the most critical factors for recovery. You should avoid lifting heavy and moving the arms excessively, especially for the first month.
Although it varies according to the techniques used, the general opinion is that the current milk volume decreases relatively. Since the nipple location changes, the mammary glands may be damaged in this surgery.
Although the new breast form varies from person to person, healing begins to become evident in the third month and lasts up to one year. Both breasts are anatomically and physiologically different from each other, and this never changes. Factors such as frequent weight gain and loss and excessively loose skin are essential. As time progresses, change is inevitable due to ageing and gravity. Deformation is minimal in healthy people who maintain their weight.
Breast lift surgery can also be considered surgery that requires excellent planning, in which the skin tissue is reduced, and the breast tissue is recovered. It has many advantages, as well as some disadvantages.
Excessive skin tissue is removed during a breast lift. The nipple is placed in its new place with specially selected techniques, and the tissues are reshaped. If the tissues are insufficient, they are supported by prostheses. It is one of the operations where planning is the most important.
In addition to the general precautions, a breast ultrasound is requested if necessary.
After the surgery, you will be kept under observation in the hospital for one night. Wounds are followed up with simple dressings for the first ten days. A special bra is recommended for the first three months, and an athlete bra is recommended for the first six months. Sutures do not need to be removed because they dissolve spontaneously. An activity can be started in the third week, and all chest exercises can be performed after the sixth week. Swelling, bruising, and numbness in the nipple are expected in the early period. What should be remembered is that both breasts heal and adapt anatomically independently of each other. 100% symmetry is not possible. Adaptation of the nipples to new sites will occur over time, and hormonally, asymmetry is expected in the early periods.
It is impossible not to have scars after breast lift surgeries. There is no such method. There will be an inverted t-shaped scar extending around the nipple and towards the bottom. The size of the inverse t-shaped scar may vary depending on the sagging. While this scar is prominent for the first 3-6 months, it will fade over time. In preferred cases, the nipple scar region can be removed by permanent nipple pigmentation. The point to keep in mind here is that scarring varies from person to person depending on the patient’s tissue quality, the size of the prosthesis used, and most importantly, the patient’s genetic factors and external factors ( cigarette, sun exposure, etc.). Special creams and, if necessary, silicone bands are used to reduce scars. In these surgeries, the person should decide whether to have a better form of the breast by accepting the scars or whether to have a breast that she is not satisfied with without scars.
After breast lift surgeries, sagging again is inevitable, albeit slightly with time and gravity. Using an excessively large prosthesis accelerates this situation. If the person’s skin elasticity is high, sagging will be more; despite all these conditions, the breast will be better and in a more natural form than its old appearance.
In general, the technique varies depending on whether there is fat tissue or breast tissue in the breast as a result of the ultrasound and examination performed before the surgery. If there is no breast tissue, the only liposuction is sufficient, but if there is breast tissue, surgery is usually performed with a scar hidden around the nipple in the form of a half-moon. The operation lasts for an average of one hour and is generally a simple surgery.
If it is performed under local anaesthesia, you will be discharged after a short observation, and if it were performed under general anaesthesia, you would be discharged after one night of observation. A special corset should be worn for adaptation of the skin for at least three weeks. Devices such as special laser / vaser are used for skin adaptation in patients with excessive skin. The surgery’s sutures are not removed, and there is no need for a dressing unless necessary. At first, oedema and bruising are common. Mild asymmetries are common due to skin adaptation in the first three months. It will improve over time, depending on skin quality.
There is no treatment with any medication or non-surgical method. Contrary to popular belief, this condition does not improve with sports, and even if the fat ratio decreases as the pectoral muscle grows, the condition becomes more evident if there is breast tissue.
If only liposuction ( vacuum liposuction) is performed, there are scars approximately 1 cm in the lower outer quadrant of the breast that will fade over time. If surgery is added to remove breast tissue, there will be a half-moon scar hidden inside the nipple, but this scar will fade over time as the nipple is stored in the brown tissue.
It is a permanent surgery unless excessive weight gain.
Generally, 18 years of age or adolescence is expected to be completed. There may be growth in breast tissue due to hormonal irregularities at an early age, so it is essential to complete puberty.
After 1-2 days of rest after surgery, people can return to their daily lives even if limited. Overactivity is not recommended for the first three weeks; generally, sports can be done from the third week.
