What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast Augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to increase the size and volume of the breasts using breast implants or fat transfer. This procedure is chosen by individuals who are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts or who have experienced volume loss in the breast tissue. Breast augmentation surgery is performed to achieve fuller, symmetrical, and aesthetically balanced breasts.
How is Breast Augmentation surgery performed?
Breast Augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The breast size is increased using either implants or fat transfer. Implants are placed either beneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Fat transfer involves injecting fat tissue harvested from the patient's own body into the breast tissue. A careful evaluation process before the surgery is important to understand the patient's expectations and create an appropriate treatment plan.
What can be expected during the recovery phase after Breast Augmentation?
A recovery phase is expected after Breast Augmentation. Mild pain, swelling, and bruising can occur in the first few days, which is normal. It is important to follow the surgeon's recommendations regarding pain medication and the use of supportive bras. The recovery process can vary from person to person, but typically individuals can return to their daily activities within a few weeks. Full healing and the complete settling of the results may take a few months. Following the surgeon's recommendations, attending regular follow-up appointments, and considering the individual's health condition are important factors during the recovery period.
