Breast Augmentation

For what purposes is breast augmentation surgery performed?

There may be various reasons for having breast augmentation surgery. The fact that one breast is smaller than the other breast or having small breasts can cause self-confidence problems in women. If this situation bothers the individual, it is useful to apply to the Plastic Surgery Department and undergo an examination. In addition, breast augmentation surgery, which is included in breast aesthetic operations, can also be performed after breast cancer surgery. It is very important that you are in an open communication with your surgeon in order to have the right expectations about the breast augmentation surgery process and the image you will encounter after.

What types of implants are used in breast augmentation surgeries?

In breast augmentation surgeries, fat tissue and stem cells found in the body itself can be used, as well as implants containing silicone or salt water can also be used.

In surgeries where the body’s own tissue is used, fats taken from the fat layer located on both sides of the abdomen are placed in the breast tissue. In order for these adipose tissues to be permanent in their new places, they must be fed with veins. In order to create a new vein, it is also necessary to transplant it together with stem cells.

Implants, on the other hand, may contain salt water contained in a silicone case, or again a silicone gel. Implants containing saline are filled with sterile saline fluid after they are placed in place.
