Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most important aesthetic surgeries that women care about.
Deformations in the breasts or genetic deformities are easily corrected by plastic surgery. As in all aesthetic surgeries, attention should be paid to the integrity of the body, and breast size should be determined based on breast volume, shoulder width and chest circumference. In addition, waist and hip measurement also plays a big role. Considering all these ratios, breast augmentation surgery will provide an aesthetic appearance and also allow the possibility of correcting possible asymmetries.
Who gets breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery can be performed on adult patients who can make their own decisions and whose general health status is suitable for anesthesia. There is no harm in having breast augmentation surgery for patients who have completed their breast development and are disturbed by the appearance of their breasts. Patients who will undergo breast augmentation surgery should be evaluated primarily with mammography or ultrasonography if they are over the age of 40 or have a family history of breast cancer. Patients should be informed about possible postoperative pain, swelling, limitation of arm movements and loss of sensation in the nipple.
How is breast augmentation surgery done?
