Breast Augmentation Surgery – What to Consider?

Breast Augmentation Surgery – What to Consider?

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is one of the most frequently performed procedures in aesthetic surgery. This operation aims to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, restore body proportions, and improve self-confidence.

Purpose of the Procedure

Breast augmentation is indicated in the following cases:

  • Naturally small breasts or volume loss

  • Volume restoration after pregnancy or breastfeeding

  • Correction of breast asymmetry

  • Reconstructive purposes (e.g., after mastectomy)

Implant Types & Placement

Based on individual body features and preferences, silicone or saline implants are used. Implants may be placed:

  • Under the muscle (submuscular),

  • Under the gland (subglandular),

  • Or via a dual-plane technique.

The implant type and placement method are selected during a personalized consultation. 

Procedure Details

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1–2 hours. Most patients can return home the same or next day after observation.

Recovery Period

Some swelling, tenderness, or discomfort may occur during the first few days. Wearing a supportive medical bra is recommended. Full recovery usually takes 4–6 weeks, depending on individual healing.

Risks and Potential Complications

As with any surgery, breast augmentation carries potential risks:

  • Infection

  • Capsular contracture

  • Asymmetry

  • Need for revision or implant replacement

Choosing a qualified surgeon and following post-operative care instructions helps minimize these risks.

Results & Longevity

Modern breast implants are designed to last over 10 years. However, natural aging or body changes may require future adjustments or replacements.

Consultation and Evaluation

Before the surgery, an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential. It includes:

  • Physical and skin assessment

  • Selection of implant size and type

  • Explanation of risks and recovery process


Note: The surgery must be performed by a licensed plastic surgeon in a certified medical facility.
