Breast Augmentation: Enhanced and Harmonious Results!
Breast Augmentation: What Is It?
Breast augmentation is one of the most common aesthetic surgical procedures worldwide. It is performed to enhance both the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. The goal is a natural and harmonious result that matches the rest of the body and aligns with the patient’s personal preferences.
The breasts are a defining feature of femininity and hold great importance for many women. Thanks to breast augmentation, every woman can now achieve the breasts she desires with safety and ease.
Who Is Breast Augmentation For – Why Choose It?
Breast augmentation is designed specifically for women with smaller breasts who wish to enhance their size. It can also be applied in other cases, such as to correct the shape or lift the breasts. Finally, it is the ideal solution for post-mastectomy reconstruction.
Through the procedure, women have the opportunity to improve the size and shape of their breasts, gaining a more balanced appearance and proportion, which boosts self-confidence and body image.
What Is the Goal of Breast Augmentation?
The main goal of this procedure is to increase breast volume—this is never done arbitrarily.
To achieve a natural and balanced outcome, the augmentation must be in proportion with the rest of the body.
The result is accomplished using silicone implants, which come in various shapes, sizes, and compositions.
It’s crucial to carefully choose your plastic surgeon to ensure a beautiful, professional, and natural result.

Before proceeding, a consultation with the doctor will include necessary tests and measurements related to breast size and shape.
Based on their experience, the surgeon will advise whether your desired results are realistic and well-proportioned.
Next, implant selection takes place. Implants are chosen based on material, shape, and size. The final decision depends on the patient’s preferences and the surgeon’s recommendations.
There are two main surgical techniques used:
- Submuscular Placement: The implants are placed under the pectoral muscle. This allows for more natural results, especially in cases where the breast has nodules or less natural tissue.
- Subglandular Placement: The implants are placed beneath the breast gland. This gives a more pronounced result and is generally less painful.
In some cases, a dual-plane approach is used—partly submuscular and partly subglandular.
The incision can be made in one of two ways:
- Periareolar incision (around the nipple)
- Inframammary incision (under the breast crease)
The technique is chosen based on the individual’s body measurements and anatomy.
Breast Augmentation: Before & After the Procedure – Final Results
Before surgery, you will undergo a pre-operative checkup, which includes blood tests, an ECG, and a chest X-ray. These tests are typically done on the day of the procedure.
In many cases, a mammogram is also recommended.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Most patients can return home a few hours after surgery unless they prefer to stay overnight for observation.
Your plastic surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions. It’s essential to follow these carefully to avoid any complications.
When you return home, it is advisable to have someone available to help you as needed. Your body needs time to heal and regain strength—rest is crucial.
In some cases, swelling may occur but typically subsides gradually.
Generally, patients can return to work and normal activities within one week.
For the first month after surgery, it’s recommended to wear a sports bra without underwire and avoid intense exercise or heavy lifting.
