Breast augmentation is a surgical technique applied to increase the size of your breasts or to restore them, mostly by placing silicones (implants) on the breasts. Each year, thousands of women in the world undergo this operation for different reasons.
The most common reasons can be stated as follows:
• Increasing the size of the natural breast.
• Reducing the asymmetry in the breasts (size difference between the breasts).
• Restoring the breast volume due to the reasons such as weight loss, pregnancy, or breast-feeding.
• Gaining a better-looking body image and ratio to feel more self-confident.
This operation is called as “aesthetics of breast augmentation”. In breast augmentation surgery, silicone is placed in the appropriate area with a small skin incision. The recovery period usually requires rest ranging from 24 hours to 48 hours.
WHAT ARE THE SPECIALITIES OF AN AESTHETIC BREAST?
Aesthetic breasts must be located symmetrically with each other on the anterior chest wall. The nipples should be equidistant from the midline and approximately 38-42 mm in diameter. When looked from the side, the area from the underarm fold to the nipple should cover 45% of the breast; and the area from the nipple to the inframammary fold should cover 55% of the breast.
In a natural breast, there is no hollowness or protrusion in the upper area of the breast. This area should be flat. The concept of decollete expresses the fullness that emerges with the outfit. There is no decollete view when being naked on a natural breast. The nozzles should be vertical in a form that when the pen is placed the under-breast fold, it should not stand there. The breast cup sizes vary according to many factors such as the height, weight and body structure of the person. B or C cup sizes are generally more suitable for women in our Turkey.
WHAT IS BREAST CUP SIZE?
Cup size is a measurement system that expresses the size of the breast itself. The cup size is expressed by the letters on the bra. For example, an 85 B bra means that the surrounding of the chest under the breast is 85 cm and the breast size is B cup. Contrary to popular belief, the numbers here are not the breast size, but the surrounding of the rib cage. However, American, European and Asian cup size letters differ somewhat from each other.
