Breast Augmentation Surgery – Erdem Hospital

What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery, offered by Erdem Hospital, is an aesthetic procedure preferred by individuals who are not satisfied with the shape, appearance, and volume of their breasts. Through breast augmentation, achieving the desired look with fuller and more voluminous breasts becomes possible. This surgery is also performed to restore breast volume lost after pregnancy and provide a more lifted and youthful appearance. Depending on the patient’s needs, a breast lift procedure can also be combined with breast augmentation to address sagging and looseness.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?
Performed under general anesthesia, breast augmentation surgery at Erdem Hospital consists of four stages:

  • Stage 1: The first step involves selecting the incision site where the breast implants will be placed.
  • Stage 2: The area where the implants will be positioned is prepared using the chosen incision site.
  • Stage 3: Using sizers and measurement tools, the implants that best fit the operation area are selected.
  • Stage 4: In the final stage, the breast implants are carefully placed into the prepared area through surgical techniques.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation Surgeries

  • To restore volume and lift sagging breasts after pregnancy.
  • To enhance breast volume for women with underdeveloped breast structures.
  • As part of the gender transition process, to create a feminine breast appearance.
  • For individuals who are not happy with their breast size and shape, aiming for a more proportionate look.

Who Can Have Breast Augmentation Surgery?
At Erdem Hospital, breast augmentation surgery is recommended for individuals who are over 18 years old and in good health. It is especially suitable for those who feel uncomfortable with the small size of their breasts or have experienced volume loss after pregnancy.

At What Ages is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?
Breast augmentation surgery can be performed on anyone over 18. However, it is not recommended for women who plan to become pregnant soon, are currently breastfeeding, or frequently experience significant weight changes.

What Types of Implants Are Used in Breast Augmentation Surgeries?
The prostheses used in breast augmentation operations are commonly known as implants or silicone. These implants are divided into two categories based on their shape: round and anatomical (teardrop) breast implants.

  • Round Silicone Implants: These have a hemispherical shape, providing a well-rounded and fuller appearance to the breast area.
  • Anatomical (Teardrop) Implants: As the name suggests, these implants resemble a raindrop. The upper part is thinner while the lower part is wider, giving a natural fullness to the lower part of the breast when placed.

Depending on the patient’s breast type, tissue, and structure, the choice between round and anatomical silicone implants may vary.

How Long Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Take?
Breast augmentation surgery at Erdem Hospital typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. After the procedure, patients are monitored in the hospital for one day and usually discharged the following day. Most patients can return to work within 4 to 7 days.

Pre-Operative Considerations for Breast Augmentation Surgery

  • Do not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before surgery.
  • Inform your doctor about all your medical history, including chronic illnesses, past diseases, genetic conditions, and medications you are taking regularly.
  • Smoking should be reduced or stopped as nicotine can slow down the healing process.
  • Discontinue the use of aspirin or similar blood-thinning medications at least one week before surgery, as advised by your doctor.

Post-Operative Care After Breast Augmentation Surgery

  • Take prescribed antibiotics regularly as instructed by your doctor.
  • Rest at home for 1-2 weeks following the surgery.
  • Avoid smoking to promote faster and healthier healing.
  • One week after the surgery, you can take a warm shower and return to your daily routine while wearing the special bra recommended for you.
  • Refrain from heavy sports and physical activities for the first 2 months.
