Speaking about breast aesthetics, one of the most preferred aesthetic procedures, Özel Egekent Hospital Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi explained the topics of interest.
Pointing out that women can achieve the body of their dreams through breast aesthetics, Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi stated, “Breast aesthetics is a procedure applied both to look more beautiful and to correct deformities formed after periods such as childbirth and breastfeeding, or congenital structural defects. Breast aesthetics, one of the most preferred aesthetic procedures among women regarding beauty, helps women feel more confident about themselves.”
Back and spine pain are a major factor in breast reduction surgery
Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi stated that breast aesthetic operations are performed in two ways: breast reduction-lift and breast augmentation operations.
Emphasizing that large breast volume can cause back and spine pain, Tuğrul Çelebi said, “These problems can be resolved with breast reduction surgery. Breast lift surgery is mostly preferred for aesthetic purposes. Technically, breast reduction and lift surgeries are the same operations. We perform breast reduction and lift operations depending on the size and degree of sagging using the ‘inverted T’ technique with incisions running from the nipple downward and a horizontal anchor-shaped cut at the bottom, or using the vertical technique, a single line extending downward from the nipple. These operations are scar-limited procedures. At best, a faint thin line remains as a scar.”
Sagging and excess skin after multiple births and prolonged breastfeeding are not a problem
Pointing out that sagging and excess skin due to multiple births, weight fluctuations, or prolonged breastfeeding are not a significant problem, Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi said, “For complaints arising from small breast size, breast implants are used. Due to multiple births, prolonged breastfeeding, or weight changes, sagging and excess skin may occur. In such cases, we perform breast augmentation and breast lift operations simultaneously.”
Patients are discharged 1 day after the procedure
Emphasizing that the post-operative process is a topic of interest, Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi shared the following information regarding the post-operative period:
“Our patients typically stay one night in the hospital after the operation. We request one week of rest. After this rest period, they can gradually return to social life. Starting sports is possible after one month. Post-operation, our patients use antibiotics and painkillers. The pain experienced is at a level that can be managed with these painkillers.”
