Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure performed by placing silicone-based prostheses into the breast to increase breast volume and improve shape. Implants can be inserted through small incisions made under the breast, in the armpit, or around the nipple. This allows for a natural and aesthetically balanced appearance.
Why is Breast Augmentation (with Implants) Performed?
Individuals may seek breast augmentation surgery for reasons such as congenital small breast size, volume loss after pregnancy and breastfeeding, asymmetrical breast appearance, or sagging breasts.
Silicone implants can be used to give breasts a fuller, firmer and more aesthetically pleasing shape. They are also chosen for personal reasons such as boosting confidence in clothing choices and creating positive changes in body image.
It is one of the most commonly chosen methods when aiming for natural-looking, body-compatible and permanent breast augmentation.
Who is eligible for breast augmentation (with implants)?
Individuals who are dissatisfied with their breast size, lack fullness in their breasts, or have breast deformities may be candidates for this procedure.
It can be safely performed on women who are in good general health, have completed breast development (usually 18 years of age and older), and have no conditions that would prevent surgery.
Successful and satisfactory results can be achieved in mothers who wish to regain breast volume after breastfeeding or in individuals with naturally small breasts.
The shape, size, and placement of the implant are planned individually. Aesthetic expectations, body measurements, and breast tissue are carefully evaluated by the surgeon.
Pre- and Post-operative Considerations for Breast Augmentation (with Implants)
Prior to the operation, the breast structure is assessed in detail, and the appropriate implant type and size are selected. Visual expectations are clearly discussed, and surgical planning is tailored to the individual.
In the first few days after the procedure, there may be swelling, tenderness, and a feeling of tightness in the breast area. Wearing a sports bra, avoiding heavy lifting, and following the doctor's recommendations will speed up recovery.
Once the healing process is complete, the breasts will achieve a more natural, proportionate, and aesthetic appearance. The results will soften and settle over time.
