Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that is applied to people who want to change the shape of their breasts and enlarge their size. This procedure helps reshape the related area. Also, changing the body part as they wish increases people’s self-confidence.

At that point, it is important to give detailed answers to the raising questions such as “what is the meaning of breast augmentation, or how long does breast augmentation last?"

Breast Augmentation Surgery Steps

The augmentation mammoplasty treatment includes two steps that are anesthesia and the incision. The patient receives medicine to not feel any pain during the operation. The doctor and the patient decide together which anesthesia method will be preferred.

For this, type of breast implant to be applied, the patient’s medical history, current health status, and individual preferences are taken into consideration.

After determining which type of anesthesia will be applied, it comes the second step which is the incision part.

Since there are also several incision options, yet again the ideal method is decided from a patient-centered perspective.

Since human anatomy and personal expectations vary, the most fitting breast size and breast shape are chosen. Body shape is the main object for determining the size. Before the operation, the doctor asks you to stop some of the medications you are using. After the incision is made, breast augmentation is performed with a fat injection or silicone implant prostheses. The surgery takes 1-2 hours. After breast implants are placed and positioned, incisions are closed with sutures. Scars from stitches will go away over time.
