class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Breast aesthetics is the general term for plastic surgery operations that surgically correct problems related to the shape, size, position or symmetry of the breast. Among the most frequently performed aesthetic operations in the world, breast aesthetic procedures are examined under three main headings: breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction.<\/p>\n<p>Within the scope of the <a href=\"https:\/\/epic-bartik.212-227-6-40.plesk.page\/en\/plastic-surgery\/\">plastic surgery<\/a> services we offer at EFC Clinic, personalised breast aesthetic planning is carried out by our experienced surgeons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breast_Augmentation_Augmentation_Mammoplasty\"><\/span>Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammoplasty)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure in which silicone or saline-filled implants are placed beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle. It offers an ideal solution for naturally small breasts, volume loss following breastfeeding or weight loss, and asymmetry.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Implant_Type_Should_Be_Chosen\"><\/span>Which Implant Type Should Be Chosen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Silicone gel implants offer a more natural feel and appearance, while saline-filled implants allow size adjustment when necessary. The implant shape (round or anatomical\/teardrop), size and surface texture (smooth or textured) are determined together with the surgeon according to the patient&#8217;s body structure and expectations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Incision_Technique_is_Used\"><\/span>Which Incision Technique is Used?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most appropriate method is selected from axillary (underarm), periareolar (around the nipple) or inframammary (under the breast fold) incision lines according to patient anatomy and implant type. All incisions are placed in as concealed an area as possible with careful planning.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breast_Lift_Mastopexy\"><\/span>Breast Lift (Mastopexy)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that reshapes and raises breasts that have experienced sagging and deformation. It is applied in cases of sagging resulting from pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations or ageing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Breast_Lift_and_Augmentation_be_Performed_in_the_Same_Session\"><\/span>Can Breast Lift and Augmentation be Performed in the Same Session?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. If volume loss exists alongside sagging, mastopexy and augmentation can be applied in combination in the same session. This combination is also known as a &#8220;breast lift and augmentation&#8221; and is frequently preferred as it offers a single recovery process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recovery_Process\"><\/span>Recovery Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mild pain and swelling in the first few days are expected. Use of a special support bra is recommended for 4-6 weeks. Return to social life is generally possible within 7-10 days. The final result emerges within 6-12 months.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breast_Reduction_Reduction_Mammoplasty\"><\/span>Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Large and sagging breasts can cause serious complaints such as back, neck and shoulder pain, skin irritation, postural problems and social restrictions. Breast reduction offers both an aesthetic and functional solution.<\/p>\n<p>In the operation, excess fatty tissue, skin and breast tissue are removed and the breast is reshaped and elevated. The nipple and areola are generally repositioned as well. The recovery process is similar to breast augmentation; return to strenuous activities is possible after 6-8 weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gynaecomastia_Male_Breast_Surgery\"><\/span>Gynaecomastia (Male Breast) Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gynaecomastia is the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in men. It can occur due to hormonal imbalances, certain medications or genetic factors. It can be treated with liposuction, breast tissue excision or a combination of both.

They can generally be used without problems for an average of 10-20 years. Revision may be required in cases such as capsular contracture, leakage or shape changes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_breast_augmentation_surgery_affect_breastfeeding\"><\/span>Does breast augmentation surgery affect breastfeeding?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Breastfeeding capacity is preserved in most patients. However, periareolar incision and implant placement within breast tissue may affect breastfeeding capacity in some cases. It is recommended to discuss this with your surgeon in advance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_breast_lift_permanent\"><\/span>Is a breast lift permanent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mastopexy results last for many years; however, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes and ageing can cause new sagging over time. Results are better preserved for longer with healthy lifestyle habits and stable weight.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_insurance_cover_breast_reduction\"><\/span>Does insurance cover breast reduction?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some insurance policies may cover breast reduction in cases of macromastia (excessively large breasts) causing serious pain and functional loss. It is recommended to evaluate this with your insurance company.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_can_I_fly_after_surgery\"><\/span>When can I fly after surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Generally, short-haul flights are safe 5-7 days after breast aesthetic operations, and long-haul flights 10-14 days after.
