Breast Enlargement
Breast augmentation has been the most popular and most frequently performed operation in the US since 2011, alongside liposuction and tummy tuck. Breast augmentation can be performed with a silicone prosthesis, an inflatable prosthesis or your own fat tissue. Known as one of the least harmful substances to the body for years, silicone has been used safely, the prostheses are FDA approved and will not leak even if punctured as they are not liquid. Silicone prostheses are made with a smooth and rough surface, can be round or teardrop-shaped (anatomical) and can be found in low, medium and high projection depending on the profile features and can be placed on different plans of the breast by making different incisions. Various brands of prostheses are safely used in the market. The choice of this prosthesis may depend on the preference of the doctor and the patient.
- Who is breast augmentation surgery suitable for?
Silicone prostheses can be placed under the breast tissue (subglandular), under the muscle (submuscular), under the muscle membrane (subfascial), or in multiple locations called “dual-plane” through incisions under the armpit, nipple, or under the breast become. In addition, in patients undergoing a tummy tuck, an inflatable (T.U.B.A. method) prosthesis can be placed by inserting it through the same incision (T.A.B.A. method) and through the umbilicus.
All of these preferences are shaped by the surgeon’s encounter with the patient. All options have advantages and disadvantages.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia under hospital conditions and takes 1-2 hours. Bandage and bra are placed on the chest. If dissolving sutures have been used, they do not need to be removed. Swelling and bruising may occur in the early period; It goes away on its own in 10 days. The use of drains is the surgeon’s preference and is usually removed in 1-2 days. The patient can go back to work in 3-5 days. It is recommended to stay away from heavy exercise for 1-2 months. It is recommended not to lie face down for 2 months. In the postoperative phase there may be slight changes in shape, which can often be corrected by massage.
After Breast Augmentation Surgery
For women with breast prostheses, activities such as air travel, martial arts, and deep diving are not an obstacle. Patients undergoing breast prosthesis should routinely have breast sonography in people under 40 years of age, and mammography should be routinely done in people over 40 years of age. After breast augmentation, the breast tissue can be assessed by examination, ultrasound, tomography, mammography, or magnetic resonance imaging. A prosthesis does not prevent it. Silicone prostheses do not cause breast cancer. In fact, it has been found in some publications to suppress breast cancer because it puts pressure on breast tissue. When pregnant after breast augmentation, the prosthesis does not have to be removed and mothers can breastfeed their babies in puerperium. Prostheses do not need to be replaced after a certain year. If there are problems with the prosthesis, it will be replaced.
