Breast Implant in Turkey

What Is Breast Implant Surgery?

Breast implant surgery — also known as breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty — is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts. This surgery involves placing implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle. It is commonly chosen to:

• Increase breast volume
  
  
• Restore shape after pregnancy or weight loss
  
  
• Improve symmetry
  
  
• Enhance body proportions and self-confidence
  
  

Surgical Process Overview

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced plastic surgeons. During this session, your goals and expectations will be discussed in detail. The surgeon will evaluate:

• Your breast anatomy and skin elasticity
  
  
• Your medical history and overall health
  
  
• Your ideal breast size and implant preferences

You will also be informed about different implant types:

• Silicone implants
  
  
• Saline implants
  
  

As well as incision options and surgical techniques to achieve the most natural-looking results.

2. Preoperative Preparation

To ensure a safe and smooth procedure, your surgeon may advise you to:

• Discontinue certain medications (e.g. aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs)
  
  
• Stop smoking
  
  
• Arrange for post-operative transportation and assistance at home

These precautions reduce the risk of complications and promote faster healing.

3. Anesthesia

Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are asleep and pain-free during the procedure. In select cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be used.

4. Incision Options

Your surgeon will make precise incisions in discreet locations to minimize visible scarring. Common incision types include:

• Inframammary incision – beneath the breast fold
  
  
• Periareolar incision – around the edge of the areola
  
  

The best choice depends on your anatomy, implant type, and your surgeon’s recommendation.

5. Implant Placement

A surgical pocket is created either:

• Under the breast tissue (subglandular placement), or
  
  
• Under the chest muscle (submuscular placement)
  
  

The implant is then positioned carefully to achieve optimal contour, volume, and symmetry.

6. Closure and Dressing

Once the implants are securely in place, the incisions are closed using sutures, surgical adhesives, or tapes. Bandages and a supportive surgical bra are applied to assist in healing.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

After surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery room. Most patients return home the same day, while some may stay overnight for observation.

During your recovery:

• You must wear a surgical bra to support your breasts
  
  
• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for at least 2–4 weeks
  
  
• Some swelling and discomfort are expected, and your surgeon may prescribe pain relief medications
  
  
• Full recovery typically takes 4 to 6 weeks
  
  

Attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and receive guidance for long-term results.

What Happens During Breast Implant Surgery?

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1 to 2 hours. The procedure includes the following steps:

Incision Placement

Your surgeon will make one of the following incision types, depending on your anatomy and preference:

• Inframammary incision (in the crease under the breast) – the most common and discreet
  
  
• Periareolar incision (around the edge of the areola)
  
  
• Transaxillary incision (in the armpit, less common)
  
  

Implant Placement

The chosen silicone or saline implants are inserted either:

• Behind the breast tissue (subglandular)
  
  
• Partially under the chest muscle (submuscular)
  
  

The placement will be decided based on your body type, implant size, and desired outcome.

Final Steps

Once the implants are positioned, the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, skin adhesive, or surgical tape. The results are immediately visible, though final shape and softness will settle in the following weeks.

After the Procedure: Recovery & Aftercare

After breast augmentation surgery, you can expect:

• Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort in the chest area
  
  
• Temporary changes in sensation around the nipples or breasts
  
  
• Wearing a surgical bra or compression garment for support and to reduce swelling
  
  
• Pain medication may be prescribed to ease the initial recovery phase
  
  

Most patients return to light, non-physical work within 5–7 days. Strenuous activities and upper-body exercises should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks.

Follow-up appointments are important to monitor healing. Your surgeon may advise gentle massage techniques to help with implant settling and symmetry.

Risks & When to Call Your Surgeon

Breast implant surgery is considered safe when performed by a qualified surgeon. However, as with any surgical procedure, some risks include:

• Infection
  
  
• Capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant)
  
  
• Implant rupture or leakage (especially in older implants)
  
  
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation
  
  
• Unsatisfactory aesthetic result or asymmetry
  
  

If you experience fever, redness, swelling, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, contact your surgical team immediately.

Results: A Natural, Proportionate Silhouette

Breast augmentation provides:

• A fuller, rounder breast shape
  
  
• Improved body proportions and posture
  
  
• Boosted self-esteem and body confidence
  
  

The implants are long-lasting, but they may not last a lifetime. Factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight changes, and lifestyle may affect your results over time. Implant replacement or revision surgery may be required in the future.
