Breast Implant

Breast-Implant-CosmeticAge1.jpg

Breast implants or breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of a woman's breasts through the insertion of implants. The surgery involves making an incision in one of three possible locations: the crease under the breast, the armpit, or around the areola. The choice of incision site depends on the patient's anatomy and the specific goals of the breast enhancement procedure. Following the incision, a pocket is created for the implant, which is placed either beneath the breast tissue or the chest wall muscle, directly behind the nipple. The incision is then sutured closed.

Post Surgery
Patients are provided with a surgical bra for support after the procedure and are expected to wear it for several weeks. It's common to experience fatigue, soreness, and discomfort post-operation, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Stitches are typically removed within 7 to 10 days, and swelling should subside within a month.

Risks and Complications
While complications are rare, they can include capsular contracture (tightening of the scar tissue around the implant), excessive bleeding, infection, and changes in nipple sensitivity. Following the surgeon's pre- and post-operative care instructions is crucial to minimize these risks.
 

Pre-Surgical Tests
Patients undergo laboratory investigations and diagnostic examinations to ensure fitness for surgery. The procedure usually lasts one to two hours and can be performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation.

Side Effects:

  • Temporary pain

  • Swelling

  • Soreness

  • Change in nipple sensation

Selecting the Correct Size for Breast Implants

While many patients have a preferred size in mind, it's important to heed the surgeon's advice to minimize the risk of complications.

How to Proceed with Breast Implant in Turkey
Interested individuals should start with a consultation to discuss their goals and undergo a pre-surgery evaluation. The surgery typically involves an overnight hospital stay, with a recommended recovery period in Turkey to ensure proper follow-up care.

Recovery

Recovery after breast implant surgery generally lasts about 6 to 8 weeks. Immediately following the surgery, you may feel achy and groggy, especially if the implants were placed under the pectoralis muscle, which can cause tightness or muscle aches. This discomfort typically decreases as the muscles stretch and relax.

​

The first 3 to 5 days post-surgery might involve the most discomfort, managed with prescribed medication. Minor bleeding at the incision sites is normal. By the end of the first week, over-the-counter pain medications might suffice, and you can gradually return to light daily activities. Soreness and swelling will improve over time, but if your job is physically demanding, you might need to take more than 3 weeks off. Heavy lifting and intense physical activities, like running, should be avoided until your surgeon approves. Detailed Breast Implant Recovery Guide >>
