Today, although breasts are hidden in clothes, they affect the psychology of women. Full and shaped breasts are a sign of attractiveness. Today, breast augmentation surgery is among the most frequently performed plastic surgeries. This surgery performed to increase the volume of the chest is also applied to reshape the breast, equalize the volume, and correct the deformity of the rib cage. Surgery is performed by placing a prosthesis under the breast tissue or chest muscle according to the patient’s body structure.
The incision site is chosen according to the breast structure of the patient. The scar is hidden under the breast line or on the nipple edge. The prostheses used are FDA approved and do not cause breast cancer. Since the integrity of the mammary gland is not impaired due to augmentation surgeries, they do not interfere with breastfeeding.
Breast augmentation surgery takes about 1 hour. The average hospital stay is 1 day.
Patients usually return to work after ten days, and recover completely after 1 month. It is necessary to take a break for 1 month from heavy work and sports that require arm strength.
