Why Do We Seek a Breast Augmentation Procedure?

Most patients choose to have breast implant surgery to increase their breast size. Whether you want to fill out clothing better, look better in outfits, tops, or swimsuits, or feel more confident at the beach, breast augmentation is an important component of body contouring procedures and is one of the major foundations for achieving the figure you desire.

Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (CC). Generally, a 150 cc size will enhance your breasts by approximately one cup size. Please do not rely on bra sizes, as they can vary from one brand to another. The bra size in Victoria’s Secret may be completely different from the bra size in Dolce & Gabbana.

Dr. Karaaltın will provide you with accurate information during your consultation. All possibilities, body measurements, and your preferences will be considered when selecting the implant.


After Pregnancy (A part of the Mommy Makeover Procedure)

Breast augmentation surgery is a common part of a Mommy Makeover procedure. Many women who have had children, especially those who nursed, experience significant deflation of their breast volume. This can lead beautiful, and active women to feel embarrassed and self-conscious in clothing or with their partners. Breast augmentation will help restore the volume loss after pregnancy or give a subtle lift to the breast.


Correction of Breast Asymmetry

If your breasts are asymmetric, do not worry as most patients have some form of breast asymmetry. If you find that your breast asymmetry causes you to constantly need to pad your bra, feel self-conscious in dresses or bathing suits, or makes it difficult to fit in clothes, the breast implant Procedure might be the major single surgical procedure for correcting it. This basically can be achieved by selecting two different implant sizes. If the degree of asymmetry is profound, the combination of the breast augmentation Procedure with breast reduction or up lift will be mandatory.


The Tubular Breast Deformity

Some patients suffer from a condition called tuberous breast syndrome, in which patients have a very narrowed base, small, sagging breasts that appear misshapen and buzzard. Our plastic surgeons are specifically trained to deal with these types of breasts in a different manner to fully treat the malformed breast(s) and create a rounder, fuller, more feminine appearance with a specialized breast augmentation and lift procedure.


The Reduction Augmentation Concept

In certain circumstances the breast tissue nature (especially after massive weight loss) becomes an obstacle in the aesthetic outcome of a breast augmentation procedure. As the breast implant is regarded as a stable predictable factor in terms of constancy, the deformed breast tissue would increase the unpredictability in the aesthetic outcome. Therefore, reducing the existing breast tissue and replacing the volume with a bigger implant will increase the predictability factor and create a reliable longevity of the breast augmentation result.


Post Breast Cancer

If you have undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy for breast cancer, you may experience breast asymmetry or malformation that causes your clothes or bras to fit uncomfortably and makes you self-conscious. If you have undergone surgery for breast cancer, have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, or are planning to undergo surgery, Dr. Karaaltın is committed to supporting you through this difficult time and helping restore your body to its former state.


Procedures Often Performed with Breast Augmentation

Dr. Karaaltın's mix-and-match concept provides patients with the highest level of safety in their combination procedures.

Patients who have experienced significant weight loss or given birth may require a breast lift or mastopexy in conjunction with implants to achieve their desired results. This is often performed as part of a Mommy Makeover, which may include liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), vaginal rejuvenation (labiaplasty or vaginoplasty), and/or facial rejuvenation procedures. Breast augmentation can also add curves that are complemented by body contouring and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures.
