Breast Augmentation
Lack of volume in your breast shape which may be due to congenital reasons or due to later formation may be making you unhappy. It is not difficult to have an increased breast size and a fuller shape. Thanks to the breast implants, which have proven to be reliable by many international bodies, you can restore your breast shape to the desired volume.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgery to enhance and shape the volume in the breasts or to have fuller and larger breasts. Breast augmentation surgery is also called augmentation mammoplasty. The breast augmentation procedure may be performed via an implant or a fat tissue implant.
Silicone breast implants are generally preferred in breast augmentation surgeries. Fat tissue transfers are mostly performed in addition to breast implants. Or it can be transferred to the breast in order to reuse the fat in patients who have undergone liposuction. Most of the fat transferred in breast augmentation procedures may dissolve later. Silicone breast implants can be placed in several different areas. These areas may be categorized under 3 headings under the muscle, over the muscle and partially between both.
In under the muscular prostheses, the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle and this plan is called subpectoral or submuscular plan. In partial submuscular implants, the lower pole of the implant is under the breast tissue while the upper pole is under the muscle. This procedure is called dual plan. In over the muscle prostheses the prostheses is placed over the pectoral muscle. Breast augmentation surgeries performed this way are called subfascial or subglandular breast augmentation.
