Types of breast augmentation techniques
Types of breast augmentation techniques include:
-
Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty
One of breast augmentation methods is the use of breast implants or breast prostheses. In this method, silicone prosthesis is used under the skin and in the area of the breasts so that the breasts are larger in size and look shapelier. This type of cosmetic procedure is also called” Breast augmentation mammoplasty “. In this type of cosmetic surgery, complementary therapies such as breast lift are often used to stabilize the results of the operation or to help improve the results.
Saline and Silicone Breast Implants
There are two types of breast implants materials: saline and silicone gel. Implants filled with saline are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water (saline). Some breast implants are pre-filled and others are filled during the implant operation. Breast lift , Breast Prosthesis

-
Fat Injection
Most of the women choose to use fillers like fat transfer instead of plastic surgeries because they are afraid of surgery. So they choose to have injections. For patients who choose to have breast augmentation by fat injection, the fat grafts they need are removed from unwanted fat areas such as the buttocks or thighs or abdomen and injected into the breasts by a liposuction or lipomatic. This is the best way for those who want to increase the size of their breasts to the size of a breast cup, or for patients who have problems with their current breast prosthesis. This method has more limited side effects than other types of breast augmentation techniques.
-
Gel injection
While many of our patients choose to have breast prostheses implanted, the gel injection augmentation procedure is just as popular. The advantages of using gel injections are that there are no wounds, your rest and recovery period is minimal and your breasts will look very natural. In this method, the place of injection is behind the breast tissue to have round and natural breasts. This breast augmentation method is long lasting and you won’t need to do costly plastic surgery and the recovery period is not too long.

-
Breast lift
If you have a sufficient amount of breast tissue, breast lift can be performed as an alternative to breast prosthesis. During this operation, the breast tissue is pulled to a higher place and looks younger and fresher. Breast tissue lift can be done in two ways. The first method is performed by cutting and lifting the breast tissue and then moving the nipple and the tissue of the breast to a higher level. Breast lifts are much less invasive than breast augmentation mammoplasty.

How the Breast Implant or breast prosthesis procedure Is Done?
Regarding the fact that breasts can continue to develop until a woman reaches her late teens or early 20’s, the FDA requires that women be at least 18 years old to get breast augmentation with saline-filled implants and at least 22 years old to receive silicone implants. Breast implant surgery takes one to two hours. The procedure is done under general anesthesia, during which you will be asleep and pain-free. The surgeon will make a cut under your breasts, under your arms, or around your nipples, depending on your body, the type of implant, and how much enlargement is being done. The surgeon will put the breast implant into a pocket above or below your chest muscle. After the breast implant is in place, the surgeon will close the cuts with sutures or surgical tape.

Recovery After Breast Implant or breast augmentation surgery
Your breasts will be covered with gauze after the surgery. You may have drainage tubes, which will be removed in a few days. You may need to wear a surgical bra as you heal. You’ll need to take it easy for a few days after your breast augmentation surgery. For instance, you should not do any heavy lifting for up to six weeks after getting your implants. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen may help relieve discomfort. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medication for you. You will probably have some swelling in the area where the surgery was done. Over time, the swelling should ease and the scars will fade. Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime. You may need to have the implants replaced if you have complications or if the size and shape of your breasts change over time.
Teens and Breast Augmentation
The Best Age to Do Breast Augmentation surgery
In the past, saline prosthesis made from sterile water and salt were used in breast prosthesis surgery, which according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was unrestricted for those over 18 years of age. However, gradually by the popularity of silicone prosthesis, which is composed of silicone gel and in most cases replaced saline prosthesis, its use was not prohibited at the age of over 22 years. If the purpose of breast prosthesis surgery is to repair and reconstruct the breast, after examination by the surgeon at any age, there is no restriction to place the prosthesis in the breast tissue as a teenager.
The reason for the age limitation for breast augmentation surgery
Surgery for growing breasts can interfere with the proper growth of breast tissue. For this reason, women can have breast prosthesis when their breasts are fully developed. Also, operation on breasts that are not fully developed may have complications such as breast deformity after the breast prosthesis surgery, in which you have to replace the breast prosthesis.
Breast augmentation recovery

The first 48 hours after breast augmentation surgery:
You may have a slight fever. Your body temperature can reach 38.3 degrees Celsius. The skin of your operated breast may turn pink or red. These are not signs of infection, but symptoms that regulate your body with a breast implant. Call your doctor if your redness or fever does not improve 48 hours after surgery, or if your temperature is above 38.3 degrees Celsius.
- Breasts may become swollen and tender for a month or more after surgery.
- Avoid strenuous activity and exercise that increases heart rate, blood pressure, or the need to use the arms and chest excessively after breast augmentation
Two to six weeks after breast augmentation surgery
Most of the remaining swelling will go away within a month. After breast surgery, you may often return to work within seven to ten days, depending on the type of activities you do. If you choose large breast prosthesis, the skin around the breasts may feel stretched until your body adjusts to the increased size. In this recovery stage the bruised parts are healed and there is a reduction in your swelling part. Immediately after breast augmentation surgery you are not allowed to workout.
After a long time
It may take weeks or months for new breast implants to reach their final position. Sensitivity to changes such as numbness or tingling may be present around the incision, but this should subside in the coming weeks or months. After six weeks you will see how your final breasts will look like as the swelling is gone and the scars are faded.
