Breast augmentation is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed to increase breast volume and reshape the form of the breasts. The procedure is most commonly carried out using silicone breast implants.

To achieve a natural-looking result that is harmonious with the body, preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up are just as important as the characteristics of the implant, its placement, and the surgical technique. In suitable patients, fat transfer using the patient’s own body fat may also be considered.

Breast augmentation may be performed to address different aesthetic needs. Common reasons for choosing the procedure include insufficient breast volume, breast development that does not meet the individual’s expectations, and changes in breast volume following weight loss or pregnancy.

Individuals who may be suitable for breast augmentation include:

• Adults who have completed breast development
• Individuals who feel that their breast volume is insufficient
• Those who have experienced a decrease in breast volume after pregnancy or significant weight changes
• Individuals with a noticeable difference in volume between the two breasts
• Those who want a breast appearance that is more harmonious with their body proportions
• Individuals whose overall health condition is suitable for surgery
• Those who have realistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes

The method used for breast augmentation is determined according to the individual’s anatomical characteristics and expectations. The most commonly used methods include:

• Silicone Breast Implants: One of the most commonly used methods for increasing breast volume. The shape, volume, projection, and placement of the implant are evaluated according to the patient’s body structure.
• Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer: This method involves transferring fat tissue taken from suitable areas of the body to the breasts. It may be considered for patients who desire a more limited increase in volume and have sufficient donor fat tissue.
• Combined Breast Augmentation and Lift: In cases where loss of breast volume is accompanied by sagging, implants alone may not be sufficient. For these patients, breast augmentation and breast lift procedures may be planned together.
