Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to make women's breasts larger and fuller. This operation is usually performed by placing implants filled with silicone, saline or another material. Implants can be placed under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. In addition, in some cases, breast augmentation can be performed using fat injection.

Breast augmentation surgeries are usually performed to obtain the breast size desired by the patient and to provide breast symmetry. This operation may also be an option for women with breast volume loss due to factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding, weight loss or aging.

Breast augmentation is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours. The recovery period after surgery may vary from person to person. However, it can usually take from a few days to several weeks.

After the breast augmentation operation, pain, swelling, bruising and tenderness may be seen in the breast area. In addition, complications related to the placement of implants can occur, such as infection, bursting or leakage of the implant, slipping, hardening of the implant, or incompatible with the natural tissue.

Breast augmentation tends to be a largely successful procedure, but results can vary from person to person. For this reason, women who are considering breast augmentation should discuss with their doctors in detail before surgery and evaluate whether the surgery is suitable for them.
