​

WHICH TECHNIQUES ARE USED FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION?

The Doctor determines the kind of filler to be applied according to the person's demands, skin type, age and body.

 

SILICONE FILLINGS

Silicone fillers are filled with silicone gel; a transparent, viscous liquid that resembles the shape of the breast glands and therefore gives the breast a natural appearance. In order to have breast augmentation surgery with silicone filler, it is necessary to be over 20 years old.

 

SALINE LIQUID FILLINGS

A silicone rubber membrane can be prepared in the desired size by filling the tissue with salt water. For this application, the person must be over 18 years old.

• Breast Augmentation surgery is used for many treatment purposes as it is used as one of the stages in the treatment of breast cancer or to provide symmetry between two breast sizes.
   

PRE-BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY PROCEDURES

•  Stay away from alcohol, multi-vitamins and all kinds of blood thinners at least two weeks before the surgery in order not to increase the risk of bleeding.

• Stop smoking at least one month before surgery as it narrows the vessels and lowers the oxygen level.

• Do not use moisturizing creams 2 days before the operation.

• Reduce caffeine consumption 2 weeks before the operation as it affects the anesthesia process.

• Start a healthy and balanced diet 1 month before the operation.
   

HOW IS THE BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY PROCESS?

1. At the first stage, a clinical examination is performed. The doctor examines the breast and determines the desired size that is suitable for the shape of the body and that should be done with breast augmentation surgery. Then, necessary blood tests are performed to determine blood sugar levels and to make sure that the patient does not have diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, immunodeficiency that will prevent the surgery.
