BREAST SURGERY

Breast enlargement ​

Indication: Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases the size and volume of the breast by inserting implants. There are several methods of breast enlargement, including the use of silicone implants and the use of your own fat. ​ Autologous fat breast augmentation is a more natural method of breast enlargement in which fat is harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen or hips, and injected into the breast. An advantage of this method is that no foreign bodies are introduced into the body and the result can look more natural. A disadvantage is that the result cannot be predicted as precisely and the fat can disappear in some cases.

Silicone implants are the most commonly used implants in breast enlargement. They consist of a rubber-silicone shell that is filled with a silicone-containing liquid. Silicone implants are available in different sizes and shapes, such as round or anatomically shaped and different profiles (e.g. high or deep profile) to meet the individual requirements of patients. An advantage of silicone implants is that they provide a more precise result and can generally make the breast appear larger and fuller. A disadvantage is that they are foreign bodies in the body and in rare cases difficulties can arise. Operation: The silicone implant breast enlargement surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and usually takes one to two hours. The surgeon will make an incision either in the inframammary fold or around the nipple to insert the implant. The implant is then placed either under the pectoral muscle or directly under the mammary gland. After the implant is inserted, the wound is stitched and a bandage is applied. ​ The operation to enlarge your own fat is usually carried out under local anesthesia or twilight sleep. Fat is harvested from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen or hips, and then introduced into the breast through microinjections. After the operation, a compression bandage is applied and the patient should rest for a few days and avoid heavy physical exertion. After the operation: Get enough rest Take pain medication as directed Wear fitted compression garments Regular follow-up examinations with the treating doctor Avoiding heavy physical exertion Avoid direct sunlight Follow doctor's instructions for wound care and scar care
