Everything you need to know about breast augmentation: Price, Process and Post-Operative

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic surgical procedures, aimed at increasing the size and improving the shape of the breasts. If you are considering breast augmentation, here is what you need to know about the process, costs and post-operative care.

1. Overall Breast Augmentation Process:

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed under general or local anesthesia. The general steps in the process are:

• Initial consultation: You will meet with your plastic surgeon to discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your breast anatomy and discuss surgical options available, including the choice of size and type of implants.
• Surgical planning: Your surgeon will establish a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and aesthetic desires. This may include choosing between silicone or saline implants, as well as deciding on the incision and position of the implants.
• Surgery: During surgery, breast implants are inserted into the breasts through small incisions. These incisions can be placed around the areola, in the fold under the breast or in the armpit, depending on the preferences of the patient and the surgeon.
• Implant placement: Once the incisions are made, the implants are inserted into the pockets created either behind the breast tissue (sub-glandular) or behind the pectoral muscle (sub-muscular), depending on the anatomical structure and aesthetic objectives of the patient.
• Closing incisions: Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures and a compressive dressing is applied to support the breasts during healing.

2. Breast Augmentation Price:

The cost of a breast augmentation can vary depending on several factors, including the surgeon’s reputation, the type of implants used, the complexity of the procedure and hospital costs. In France, the price of a breast augmentation can generally vary from 3,000 to 8,000 euros or more, depending on individual circumstances. In Turkey, a popular destination for aesthetic interventions, prices can be more competitive, typically ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 euros.

3. Post-operative care:

After breast augmentation, it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to promote rapid recovery and optimal results. Some general post-operative care tips include:

• Rest and recovery: Plan to take a few days of rest after surgery to allow your body to recover. Avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks.
• Pain and swelling management: Your surgeon may prescribe medications to manage post-operative pain and swelling. Apply cold compresses as recommended to reduce discomfort.
• Medical Follow-up: Be sure to follow all follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing and remove sutures if necessary.
