Breast Augmentation

It may be possible for the breasts to be
•    Smaller than normal
•    Bigger than normal
•    Sagging
•    Deformed
or some of these problems occur together may be possible. For example, a woman's breast may be small and sagging or big and sagging. In this case, the image of the woman's body deteriorates and the woman may feel serious psychological disturbance and complexness. In order to mention, the fact that the breasts are smaller than normal is a serious aesthetic defect.

And this affects women's social life, clothing choices, family life negatively. Breast augmentation surgery is our recommendation to women who apply to plastic surgeons due to the small breast.

Mammoplasty with silicone is performed under general anesthesia. The operation takes approximately 1 hour. Patients can go to their homes the same day or stay in the hospital for 1 night. They can return to normal daily life in 4 to 7 days.
 
Mammoplasty is completely for aesthetic purposes. This operation is recommended for women who are over 18 years old and have inadequate breast development. Different types and sizes of silicone

prosthesis is used in the operation according to the preference of the doctor and the patient. Round prosthesis and drop prosthesis are preferred. During the operation, the placement of the prosthesis may be under the muscles or over the muscles. The current state of the breast and the physician's preference determine the location of the prosthesis.

The incision made for placing the breast prosthesis in breast augmentation process may be under the nipple, under the breast or at the armpit.
Which incision way to use for the placement of the  prosthesis is determined again by the preference of the patient and the doctor. The scar is almost unspecific after breast augmentation surgery. A very small scar remains and usually does not disturb the patient.

Prosthesis used during surgery is normally life-long but patients are monitored at certain time intervals. If a change in the structure of the prosthesis is found, the prosthesis is replaced with new ones. Breast augmentation surgery is the plastic surgery where women's satisfaction rate is the highest. Satisfaction rates are close to 100 percent. The complication rates after breast augmentation surgery are quite low in experienced hands. Rarely, hematoma, infection or capsular contracture may develop.

Breast Reduction

It is a common problem for women to have bigger breasts than normal. Big breasts are not only an aesthetic problem for women but also a health problem. When the breasts are bigger than normal, the body's weight axis slides forward, unbalanced load on the spine rises and can cause problems ranging from neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, low back pain, or even hernias that require surgery over time. At the same time, the big breasts, especially during the hot season can cause the formation of wound and rash due to friction.
Again, the bigger breasts in women cause posture disorder and hump. It is very difficult to choose clothes for women with this problem. In such cases, the solution is mammoplasty. Big breasts disrupt the female body perception in women, cause a decrease in the feeling of femininity and cause social, psychological and sexual problems.

The surgical methods used for thereduction of big breasts are very different and each plastic surgeon performs breast reduction operation using one of these techniques.
The most commonly used technique inbreast reduction operations is the superior pedicled vertical scar technique. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 2 hours. After the operation, the patient stays in the hospital for one night and then returned to normal daily life after resting at home for 3 to 7 days. In breast reduction operations, the purpose is to remove the

excess skin and breast tissue and to form a breast of normal shape and size appropriate to that body. Patient satisfaction is very high after the operation. The patient was freed from weight and had a normal looking breast.

Breast Lifting

In some women, the breast begins to sag over time or after pregnancy, and the breast tissue and nipples are replace downwards due to the effect of age, gravity and breast feeding.

At the same time, the tapered and rounded shape of the breast becomes flat and spread. The breast loses its normal appearance and shape. In some women, the volume is normal, but shape may change in this way. Also in some women, breast volume is small and sagging is also present. In some women, the breast is larger than normal and there is also sagging . In each case, the surgeon's treatment approach will be different.

For example, if a woman's breast is smaller than normal and there is sagging, only the use of the silicone breast prosthesis will correct both smallness and sagging. However, in cases of sagging, only breast despreading, so mastopexy will be sufficient, silicone use is not required. In some cases, the breast is bigger than normal and there is sagging. In this case, both breast reduction and breast lifting will be performed together.

Breast lifting is performed under general anesthesia. According to the severity of the problem, it lasts about 1 to 2 hours. After the operation, the patient can go home or stay in the hospital for 1 night. The patient can return to work within an average of 4 to 7 days.

Some women may also have congenital malformations. For example, when a breast is not developed or underdeveloped, the other breast may be much larger than normal. In this case, after completing 18 years of age, the smaller breast can be augmented with silicone. The bigger breast can be reduced and a balance between the two breasts can be achieved.
Age Status in Mammoplasty
Breast augmentation surgeries are performed after 18 years of age, while breast reduction operations may be required even at younger ages. Some girls develop a rapid breast development from the age of 12 to 13 years, and girls who have a much bigger breasts at the age of school feel physically and functionally very uncomfortable.

These children must be examined. If there is a hormonal cause or an underlying disease that causes excessive breast growth at an early age, treatment should be made. At the same time, the overgrown breasts should be brought to the appropriate size for that child with a surgical procedure.
Occasionally, surgical techniques may vary in excessively big breasts, and treatment with T-Scar techniques may be required instead of I-Scar techniques. What is important in breast reduction surgeries

is to obtain the most appropriate volume and shape by creating a minimum scar. Satisfaction rate is very high in breast reduction operations. These operations may require revision procedures or scar reduction procedures from time to time in later periods. Breast reduction surgery is one of the most common breast aesthetics applications.
