Breast Reduction

It is used in cases of underdevelopment, underdevelopment, loss of breast volume after childbirth, and if there is sagging and laxity in the skin, it is not enough alone and should be combined with a lifting procedure.

It not only provides a physical improvement, but also psychologically increases self-confidence, strengthens the identity of womanhood, and relieves the stress of constantly using a padded bra.

Breast augmentation is a procedure performed with silicone implants.

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether augmentation can be done with fat filling. My answer will be no. While fat filling can be used in places that require small volume such as the face to add volume, it is not suitable for the breast. Since giving a large volume reduces the survival rate of fat fillers, infection, discharge, irregularity and asymmetry are inevitable.

I am against every augmentation method performed by injection into the breast.

Methods such as drug augmentation may be carcinogenic because they contain hormones. My advice is to stay away.

The most effective, natural and safe method is augmentation with silicone prostheses.

The duration of use can extend up to 20 years depending on the manufacturer. If there is no problem at the end of this period, there is no need to change them.

Since detailed information about prostheses is available on the internet, I would like to briefly mention them.

There are models such as round, anatomical, asymmetrical, smooth or rough surface, inflatable with silicone gel and saline. My preference is gel prostheses.

Do dentures explode? Not to exaggerate, but they would not explode if a truck ran over them. However, they are damaged by cutting and piercing trauma. However, their gel structure does not disperse in the body but stays in place, you can think of them as jelly beans.

The incision site can be under the breast, nipple and armpit. Under the breast is made with a 3-4 cm incision from the fold under the breast and is the most preferred location. In cases where the brown area around the nipple is large, a half-moon incision can be used from the nipple, but milk ducts may be damaged and loss of sensation may occur. The armpit can be used for IV inflated prostheses but is not preferred.

There are submuscular and supramuscular plans for placement. In the supramuscular plan, it is placed under the muscle membrane. It is used in the semi-submuscular plan called dual plan.

Size should be determined according to the person. This is determined by breast structure, tissue thickness and some measurements. The patient's expectations should also be taken into account. But very large prostheses are not suitable for every patient.

I decide on the size, incision location, muscle plan, prosthesis shape and structure together with my patient using the measurements, examinations and test prostheses I have made.

There is no scientific data that prostheses cause cancer.

Do not worry about breastfeeding. Because the milk glands and ducts are not touched. I have not received any negative feedback from any of my patients until today.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The average duration is 30 minutes and you can stay overnight or be discharged on the same day. Even if you have pain for a few days, painkiller tablets are enough. On the 3rd day, the dressing can be opened and showered. Soft sports bra is used for 3 weeks. Avoid heavy arm movements for 1 week. If you are a working person, 1 week of rest is sufficient. The breasts may look a little bigger for the first 2 months, but they take their shape after the 3rd month.

Bleeding and infection as complications are available as book information. You often read the term capsule. In fact, the capsule is formed normally. If the capsule is thick, it manifests itself as deformity, irregularity, pain and stiffness. It can be caused by infection, bleeding, glove powder, under preparation of the prosthesis pocket and usually the treatment is simply surgical removal of the capsule. Non-surgical methods may not be effective.

Prostheses with a rough surface and under the muscle reduce the risk of capsules.
