Breast aesthetics is the general term for aesthetic procedures sought by women whose breasts are not the size or shape they desire. Breast aesthetics can be performed for three purposes: breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift.<\/p>\n
In breast augmentation surgery, breast size is increased using silicone implants. Women generally seek this operation for reasons such as breasts being naturally small or a decrease in breast volume after pregnancy.<\/p>\n
The operation is performed under general anesthesia in an operating room. For this reason, no pain or discomfort is felt during the procedure. During the procedure, silicone implants are placed through 4-5 cm incisions made under the breast. The implant is often inserted through an incision under the breast or around the nipple. The silicone implant is placed either under the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle.<\/p>\n
Silicone implants can come in options such as round, teardrop-shaped, smooth-surfaced, or textured-surfaced. The silicone shape most preferred recently by women undergoing breast augmentation surgery is the round implant. Teardrop implants are more often preferred by taller patients who request a more defined upper breast area. Implants that are compatible with the patient’s body in both shape and size also contain a cohesive gel. This results in breasts that feel much more natural both in appearance and to the touch.<\/p>\n
One of the frequently asked questions about breast augmentation operations concerns breastfeeding. Since breast tissue is not removed during breast augmentation, the milk ducts are not damaged. Women who have had breast augmentation surgery have no problems breastfeeding.<\/p>\n
Breast reduction is, like breast augmentation, one of the procedures frequently preferred by women. This operation is sought for complaints such as the breasts being too large in proportion to the body, the resulting weight causing neck and back pain, restricting physical movement and clothing choices, and causing chafing marks under the breasts. In this sense, it can be said that it is a procedure aimed more at ensuring the patient’s comfort than being a purely aesthetic operation.<\/p>\n
Breast augmentation and breast reduction surgeries are generally not performed before breast development is complete; however, breast reduction surgery can also be applied to young girls experiencing serious problems.<\/p>\n
First, during each patient’s initial examination, the breast size that will be compatible with the patient’s body measurements is determined. For this, the patient’s chest measurements are taken, the position of the nipple is assessed, and details such as how far the nipple needs to be repositioned if it is too low are determined.<\/p>\n
Before breast reduction surgery, the patient is asked to undergo a superficial tissue ultrasound or mammogram. Based on the results of this mammogram, a decision is made as to whether the tissue removed during the procedure will be sent for pathological examination. I generally prefer to have a pathological examination performed.<\/p>\n
The patient being at an ideal weight makes the breast reduction procedure easier, because the fat content of the breast tissue is reduced. For this reason, it is preferred that patients be at their ideal weight.<\/p>\n
Before this surgery, the use of medications that could cause complications should be suspended. Similarly, alcohol and smoking should be stopped about 1 week before the operation and should not be resumed for some time afterward, as they can delay healing.<\/p>\n
Since breast tissue is removed during breast reduction surgery, there is a risk that the milk ducts may be damaged. For this reason, no guarantee can be given that the patient will be able to breastfeed after this operation.<\/p>\n
After breast reduction surgery, the breasts are dressed with elastic bandages and gauze. The silicone drains placed to prevent fluid accumulation under the skin are removed 1-2 days after the operation. The bandages are also removed about 2-3 days after the operation, after which a sports bra is worn for a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Pain is expected during the first 2 days after the operation. However, this pain can be controlled with painkillers. Swelling in the breasts may occur around the first menstrual period after surgery. Temporary loss of sensation during the first 6 weeks is also a normal and expected occurrence.<\/p>\n
Patients can get up the day after the operation, but should avoid strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks. They can return to social activities and work after 2 weeks. However, activities such as sports should be avoided for the first month, tight bras should not be worn, and the breasts should be treated gently. If sudden bruising, redness, or other unexpected complications occur, a doctor should always be consulted.<\/p>\n
Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and even gravity can cause volume loss and sagging in the breasts over the years. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts lose their shape and their former fullness. In addition, the darker-colored skin around the nipple may also widen.<\/p>\n
Breast lift surgery can be performed together with breast reduction or breast augmentation surgery.<\/p>\n
Breast lift surgeries take 2-3 hours and are performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, volume loss and sagging are corrected, and in some cases volume needs to be increased with an implant. In addition, the size of the darker-colored skin around the nipple is also reduced. If the volume of the breast tissue is sufficient, simply reshaping and lifting the breast is enough.<\/p>\n
A breast lift does not stop the breasts from sagging again, but it does restore them to their pre-sagging appearance. If the patient is planning to become a mother in the near future, it is recommended that the surgery be postponed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
