Breast Augmentation Istanbul

Breast augmentation is an operation that ranks high among the most frequently performed operations today. Women who are not satisfied with their breast volume can now have the breast size they want by having this procedure performed by a plastic surgeon.
Breast augmentation procedures can now be done with different methods. While some physicians do it with silicone, some physicians do it with the fat taken from the person's own body. But the most commonly used among these methods is silicone. There are also different methods of silicone implantation. Some surgeons can do it through the nipple, some under the breast or under the armpit. The method generally used is the procedure performed under the breast. Silicone is made of a special material and comes in different sizes. The physician should first examine the body characteristics of the person and tell the person what size and what kind of breast to make.

Body measurements, weight and height are very important factors. The physician's examination is very important at this stage, as a very large breast will create a very bad appearance for a woman of short stature and petite build. The breast prosthesis will be placed in that area with the operation to be performed later. It is very important not to carry too much weight after the operation, not to lie on the prosthesis and to follow the recommendations of the physician.
Breast reduction surgery
Some women also have very large breast problems. In these cases, surgeons perform a breast reduction operation to bring the breasts to a normal size that fits the body. In these operations, the breast is returned to a size that should be normal by entering under the breast and removing excess fat and breast tissue on the edges and inside the breast.
Breast reduction and breast augmentation operations are very common and effective operations in our age. After the operation, the patient should rest for 15 days, should not hit the chest area and should not do strenuous sports. In addition, after these operations, the person should not wear a normal bra for a while, the surgical bra applied in surgery. It should be used for 4-6 weeks.
