class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Breast augmentation, medically known as <strong>augmentation mammoplasty<\/strong>, is a procedure that improves breast volume, fullness and shape by placing an implant under the breast tissue or muscle, or through fat grafting. The goal is not simply a &#8220;bigger&#8221; look but a result proportionate to the body and natural in appearance. The procedure is chosen for various reasons, including naturally small breast volume, asymmetry, or volume loss following pregnancy or weight changes.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"implant-types\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implant_Types\"><\/span>Implant Types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most commonly used implant type for breast augmentation is the natural-feeling <strong>silicone gel implant<\/strong>. Two basic shape options are available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Round implants:<\/strong> Often preferred by patients seeking upper-pole fullness and a more pronounced d\u00e9colletage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anatomical (teardrop) implants:<\/strong> Preferred by patients seeking a more natural slope and a softer transition line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The choice between smooth and microtextured surfaces depends on the patient&#8217;s tissue characteristics and the surgeon&#8217;s experience. Modern implants are generally considered usable for a lifetime by manufacturers, with most offering a 10-year warranty.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"methods\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methods_Implants_and_Fat_Transfer\"><\/span>Methods: Implants and Fat Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Augmentation_With_Silicone_Implants\"><\/span>Augmentation With Silicone Implants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most commonly performed method, offering long-lasting results. The implant can be placed under the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the muscle (submuscular), with the choice determined by the surgeon based on tissue thickness.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fat_Transfer_Fat_Grafting\"><\/span>Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fat harvested via liposuction from another area of the body (typically the abdomen, flanks or thighs) is purified and injected into the breast. This less invasive method suits patients who prefer using their own tissue and seek a mild-to-moderate volume increase.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"incision\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incision_and_Placement_Options\"><\/span>Incision and Placement Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most commonly used incision options for implant placement include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inframammary fold incision:<\/strong> Provides the surgeon with wide visibility without disturbing the glandular tissue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Periareolar incision:<\/strong> Hidden within the colour transition zone, becoming less noticeable over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transaxillary incision:<\/strong> Performed endoscopically for patients who prefer no visible scarring on the breast itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For patients with mild sagging, combining augmentation with a <strong>breast lift (mastopexy)<\/strong> rather than volume increase alone can achieve a more balanced result.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"candidates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Is_a_Good_Candidate\"><\/span>Who Is a Good Candidate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Good candidates for breast augmentation are generally:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 18 years old with completed breast development<\/li>\n<li>In overall health suitable for surgery<\/li>\n<li>Dissatisfied with their breast shape, size or symmetry<\/li>\n<li>Informed about the realistic outcomes of the procedure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patients with uncontrolled chronic illness, active infection or untreated breast disease require thorough medical evaluation before the procedure.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Surgical_Process\"><\/span>The Surgical Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Consultation:<\/strong> Chest measurements, breast tissue thickness, asymmetry assessment and clarification of expectations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planning:<\/strong> Determining implant shape, size, surface texture, incision location and placement plane (subglandular\/submuscular).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anaesthesia:<\/strong> The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surgical Procedure:<\/strong> Through the chosen incision, a pocket is prepared, the implant is placed and the incision is closed with specialised suturing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Surgery generally takes <strong>1\u20133 hours<\/strong>; this may extend when combined with a breast lift.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"recovery\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recovery_Process\"><\/span>Recovery Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tightness and swelling are expected in the first few days after surgery, gradually subsiding over time. Most patients can begin walking within a few hours of the procedure. Avoiding heavy lifting and chest-straining activities in the first weeks, wearing a medical bra, and following the surgeon&#8217;s follow-up schedule directly affect the quality of the final result. Full tissue settling and shape stabilisation can take several months.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-turkey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Turkey_and_EFC_Clinic\"><\/span>Why Turkey and EFC Clinic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turkey is one of the world&#8217;s leading medical tourism destinations for breast augmentation, supported by experienced plastic surgeons, internationally accredited hospitals and competitive treatment processes.
