Breast Augmentation with Implants or Fat Transfer

Achieve Your Ideal Silhouette with Breast Augmentation in Antalya

Many women consider breast augmentation to enhance their natural size, restore breast volume lost after pregnancy or weight changes, or to correct asymmetry. It is a deeply personal decision aimed at aligning your physical appearance with your inner sense of self. At our Antalya clinic, we offer a completely bespoke approach to breast augmentation, utilising either advanced breast implants or your own natural fat to achieve beautiful, proportionate, and confidence-boosting results.

Your Personalised Augmentation: Choosing Your Technique

The first step is determining the ideal method to achieve your goals.

• Breast Augmentation with Implants: This is the most common and effective method for achieving a significant and predictable increase in breast size. Using either saline or silicone gel implants, our surgeons can artfully enhance your shape and volume.

• Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer (Lipofilling): For those seeking a more subtle enhancement, fat transfer is an excellent, all-natural option. This dual-benefit procedure involves using liposuction to remove unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified and meticulously injected into the breasts to improve their shape, correct minor asymmetries, and provide a modest volume increase.

A Detailed Guide to Breast Implants

Should you choose implants, a wide range of options allows for a fully customised result:

• Implant Filling: Saline vs. Silicone

  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, offering adjustable volume.

  • Silicone Gel Implants: Pre-filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Modern "gummy bear" implants are highly cohesive for shape retention and safety.

• Implant Shape: Round vs. Anatomical (Teardrop)

  • Round Implants: Provide fullness to both the upper and lower parts of the breast, creating enhanced cleavage and a more prominent profile.

  • Anatomical Implants: Designed to mimic the natural slope of a breast, offering a subtler, more tapered result.

• Implant Surface: Smooth vs. Textured

  • Smooth Implants: Have a soft, smooth outer shell and move freely within the breast pocket.

  • Textured Implants: Have a slightly rougher surface designed to reduce the risk of capsular contracture. It is important to note these are used less frequently today due to updated international safety guidelines.

Surgical Planning: Placement and Incisions

• Implant Placement Options: Your surgeon will recommend the best placement for you: Subglandular (above the muscle), Submuscular (below the muscle), or the advanced Dual Plane technique, which combines the benefits of both for the most natural look.

• Incision Sites: To minimise visible scarring, incisions are carefully placed in discreet locations such as the Inframammary fold (under the breast), Periareolar border (around the nipple), or Transaxillary crease (in the armpit).

The Transformative Benefits

• Enhanced breast size and a more proportionate, balanced shape.

• Correction of natural asymmetry for a more symmetrical appearance.

• Restored confidence and improved self-image.

• Long-lasting results tailored to your individual body and aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Which implant is safest? Both FDA-approved saline and silicone implants have an excellent safety record. Routine monitoring is recommended for all implant types.

• How long do implants last? Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. The average lifespan is around 10-15 years, after which a replacement may be recommended.

• What results can I expect from fat transfer? This technique is ideal for a small-to-moderate increase (typically half to one full cup size). The result is exceptionally natural, though some of the transferred fat will be naturally reabsorbed by the body.

• What is the recovery time? Most patients can return to daily life within one week, with a return to full activity, including strenuous exercise, in 4 to 6 weeks.

• Can I breastfeed after augmentation? In most cases, yes. Breastfeeding is often still possible, but this depends on the specific surgical technique used.
