Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure performed to restore the breasts to the desired form in terms of volume and fullness. It is applied to make the breasts, which are small due to genetic structure or have lost their volume due to reasons such as weight loss and breastfeeding, aesthetically fuller. It is one of the most preferred operations in the field of aesthetic surgery and is planned according to the body structure and expectations of the person.
What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast augmentation can be preferred not only for aesthetic concerns, but also in cases such as correcting asymmetrical breast structure, correcting congenital breast development deficiencies or providing breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, regardless of the reason, it is among the most important factors to plan by taking into account the anatomical structure and general health status of the person.
Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that positively affects both physical appearance and self-confidence. Therefore, understanding not only the surgical technique but also the patient’s expectations and lifestyle is an important part of the process.
Breast Augmentation Methods
Breast augmentation methods include surgical applications as well as some supportive and temporary methods. Permanent or temporary results can be achieved by choosing the most appropriate method according to the needs and expectations of the person.
- Augmentation with silicone breast implants
- Volume increase with fat injection
- Supportive exercise and care practices
Silicone prostheses are the most preferred method today and provide permanent results. In our clinic, personalized planning is made with different size, shape and surface options. The fat injection method is applied by transferring fat tissue taken from another part of the body to the breast. It provides a more limited volume increase and some volume loss may occur over time.
How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. The technique of the operation, the size and placement of the prosthesis to be used are determined by pre-operative analysis.
- First, a small incision is made in a suitable area such as the inframammary fold, around the nipple or in the armpit.
- The area where the prosthesis will be placed is prepared through the incision.
- The implant is placed under the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle.
- After checking the symmetry and placement, the incision is closed with aesthetic sutures.
The area where the breast prosthesis is placed and the type of prosthesis may vary according to the individual’s breast structure, skin thickness and expectations. In some cases, if accompanied by sagging, it may need to be combined with a breast lift.
The follow-up and controls after the operation are as important as the operation itself. The position of the prosthesis, tissue healing and general condition are closely monitored with regular check-ups.
How Many Hours Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Take?
Breast lift surgeryIf it is to be combined with breast augmentation surgery, the operation time may vary. While breast augmentation takes an average of 1 to 2 hours, breast lift surgery can take up to 2 to 4 hours.
- Scope of the action to be taken
- Surgical technique to be used
- Prosthesis placement area and tissue preparation
- Whether there are combined transactions
Since personalized planning is made in our clinic, the duration of the operation may vary from person to person. However, in any case, it is important to act meticulously at every stage of the operation in terms of both aesthetics and health.
Before and After Breast Augmentation Surgery
There are many important points to be considered before and after breast augmentation surgery. The pre-operative process begins with personal evaluation and preparations. In this process, the person’s general health status, breast structure and expectations are evaluated in detail.
- Assessment of personal and family health history
- Analysis of breast structure and skin thickness
- Determining the type and size of prosthesis to be used
- Limiting smoking and alcohol use
- Performing necessary laboratory tests
After the surgery, regular follow-up and recommendations should be followed in order for the healing process to proceed smoothly and permanent results to be achieved.
Things to consider after surgery;
- Resting and avoiding heavy activities in the first days
- Regular use of medicines recommended by the doctor for edema and pain
- Use of special surgical bras
- Paying attention to the hygiene of the suture site
- Regular check-ups should not be neglected
Although the healing process varies individually, it is largely complete within 4-6 weeks on average. It may take several months for the final results to settle.
Is There a Non-Surgical Breast Augmentation Method?
Although surgical operations are the most important method to achieve permanent and significant results in breast augmentation, some non-surgical supportive methods may also come to the fore. However, the permanence and effectiveness of these methods are extremely limited compared to surgical applications.
Non-surgical breast augmentation methods are generally applied to make the breast tissue look fuller naturally. These methods can be preferred by people who are afraid of surgical operations or who want a slight increase in volume. However, it is important to keep expectations at a realistic level and to know that such applications cannot provide long-term results.
The main non-surgical methods include certain exercise programs, some massage and skin care treatments, hormone-assisted treatments and temporary fillers. Since most of these methods are aimed at supporting skin elasticity and maintaining the overall form, they provide a very limited change in terms of fullness.
Breast Augmentation Istanbul Clinic
Breast augmentation surgery is an application that needs to be planned individually and requires both aesthetic and surgical knowledge.
Understanding personal expectations correctly, planning according to the body structure and supporting the process with regular follow-ups are among the most important factors in achieving successful results. For this reason, clients should be informed and guided at every stage, not only during the procedure, but also before and after.
In our clinic, breast augmentation procedures are planned individually. Since each individual’s breast structure, skin elasticity, tissue thickness and body proportions are different, the type of prosthesis to be used, its size and the area where it will be placed are meticulously determined. By communicating with our clients from the beginning to the end of the process, we aim to achieve the most natural and aesthetic results.
In breast augmentation procedures, surgical technique and precision in the application process are as important as the quality of the materials used. In our clinic, both health and aesthetic expectations are prioritized and meticulous care is taken at every stage.

Breast Enlargement Exercises
In addition to surgical procedures, exercise programs are among the supportive methods for breast augmentation. Breast augmentation exercises do not directly enlarge the breast tissue, but by strengthening the muscles around the chest, they can contribute to a more upright and fuller appearance of the overall form.
Regular breast exercises can support the skin and muscle structure and help the breasts to become firmer and more shaped over time. However, the effect of these exercises to increase volume is extremely limited and compared to surgical procedures, a permanent or significant change should not be expected.
- Push-ups
- Chest press movements
- Butterfly movement
- Chest muscle exercises with resistance band
- Upper chest exercises with dumbbells
Regular application of these exercises can support the overall body shape and contribute to a firmer and lifted appearance in the chest area. However, depending on personal anatomical structure and genetic factors, the results may vary.
