Breast augmentation surgery is an operation performed in women whose breast volume has not developed enough after puberty or who have lost their volume as a result of breast reduction in women who have experienced breastfeeding or intense weight loss.The most reliable and popular method in breast augmentation surgeries is augmentation with silicone implants
This surgical method, which is applied by many surgeons in our country and in the world, has proven its reliability and the prostheses prepared with the latest technology are produced in a variety and naturalness to meet the demands of each patient.The outer walls of the prostheses are made of silicone, and the gel structure inside is produced very close to the natural breast tissue.The shapes of silicones are generally divided into two as round and drop (anatomical).The round prosthesis fills the upper part of the breast better and provides a fuller appearance.Drop prosthesis is the type of prosthesis used to obtain a more natural appearance in patients who have almost no breast tissue.
Although it seems to be divided into two in general terms, the most appropriate choice is made by considering the patient and doctor's advice and the expectation of the patient and the doctor after the doctor's examination of the prostheses, which are completely specific to the body shape of the patients, with the sole size, height and shape.
Breast prosthesis operations take approximately 1 - 1.5 hours and are performed under general anesthesia.The prosthesis is placed in the breast area with 4 cm incisions. The surgical incision can be made in 3 different regions. The first and most preferred method is the incision made under the breast.Since this surgical scar is under the breast, it cannot be seen when viewed from the opposite side, and after a few months, the surgical scars turn into a color close to the skin color.Another incision method is the application from the brown area (areola) in the nipple area.This method, on the other hand, is a method used especially when women who are uncomfortable with the width of the nipple area after weight gain or breastfeeding want to reduce the nipple.With this method, a prosthesis is placed on the breast and at the same time the areola is brought to the desired size. The last and least preferred method is the method in which the prosthesis is placed on the breast with an incision made under the armpit.The incision method also varies from patient to patient, and it is decided during the examination according to the patient's condition.
The most curious issue about breast prosthesis surgeries is on which plane the prosthesis will be placed.
Prostheses are placed in the submuscular or supramuscular subfascial region.Prostheses are usually placed under the muscle in patients who have very little breast tissue and very thin skin and subfascial membrane. In patients with relatively larger breast tissue, prostheses are placed on the muscle to preserve the natural appearance.
Numbness in the nipple is not an expected complication after breast prosthesis surgery.On the other hand, in patients with numbness, temporary loss of sensation may occur due to edema due to the operation, and the recovery process will return to its original state.The biggest question of interest is whether there will be problems with breastfeeding and milk formation after breast prosthesis surgery.Since the prosthesis application is completely placed under the breast tissue, the surgery does not cause any problems with breastfeeding.Although it varies according to the pain threshold of the person after the operation, moderate to mild pain may occur. These pains can be controlled with medications prescribed by the doctor.The hospital stay is one night..3 days after the operation, with the approval of the doctor, the patient can take a shower and return to her daily activities.It is not recommended for patients to travel for a week so that the stitches are not affected by the flight pressure.It is recommended to start daily activities 3 days after the surgery.
