Breast implants provide fullness and projection to your breast

Why have a Breast Augmentation?

Breast Augmentation increases the volume of the breast making it look fuller and/or curvier overall appearance. Breast Augmentation can correct an asymmetry in size between the breasts balancing them out, achieving an equal size and shape. Breast Augmentation is also used for reconstruction after a mastectomy due to cancer treatment.

A variety of aesthetic or non-aesthetic benefits are associated with the breast augmentation procedure, listed as under;

What are the choices for implants?

Breast implants are prosthetic containers filled with saline water or silicone gel. Implants have a thick outer silicone-rubber shell which has either textured or a smooth surface.

Before going into surgery, it is crucial to consider implant brands, implant type, size, profile and shape. Dr Bulent Yaprak, having an extensive experience in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, will discuss the implants with you at both consultations so you become familiar with the form and size before your surgery according to your unique body size and shape.

The companies who manufacture the implants do so under strict quality controls reducing the rist of capsule formation, gel leakage, rupture etc. The exact make, model, and batch number is carefully recorded for any future reference.

Sometimes, Dr Yaprak will use a tissue expander to stretch the tissues. This is inserted and continually gradually inflated.

Incision Location:

WHICH INCISION LOCATION IS BEST FOR ME?

Incision locations for Breast Implants can be Periareolar, Transaxillary or inframammary. Dr Yaprak will discuss all these options with you at your consulation and make his recommendations based on your individual anatomy.

One incision is made per implant and the scar from the incision is usually around 5-6 centimetres long. All operations can cause a scar and it will take time to heal and fade.

Placement of Implants:

Breast Implants are placed behind the breast tissue rather than within it. The Implnat can be either placed:

Between the chest muscle and breast tissue
Behind the chest, or pectorial muscle

Each of thses placements has pros and cons. Dr Yaprak will discuss these advantages and disadvantages with you and explain the best method for your individual anatomy.

Risks and complications:

Like any other surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries certain risks and complications, which may include the following;

Complications to general anaesthesia
Haematoma (Bleeding)
Infection
Delayed wound healing
Deep vein thrombosis
Scarring
Numbness
Implant leakage and rupture
Changes in breast or nipple sensation
Change in position of implants

Discussion on possible risks and complications with your surgeon is important before getting into the procedure. Avoid blood-thinning agents and quit smoking a few weeks before and after the surgery to avoid delayed healing complications. Stay educated about the procedure details and aftercare.

Results of Breast Augmentation:

It is essential to have pragmatic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. Your positive motivations will help you recover and maintain a healthy lifestyle after surgery. Changes in weight, skin texture, BMI, pregnancy and breastfeeding may affect the results of breast enlargement surgery.
