What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. It is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide, helping women achieve their aesthetic goals while boosting confidence and body image.

This procedure typically involves the placement of breast implants or, in some cases, fat transfer to the breasts. The result is a fuller, natural-looking contour that complements the patient’s proportions. Whether the goal is to restore breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy, correct asymmetry, or achieve a desired cup size, augmentation mammoplasty offers tailored solutions.

At Estexper Clinic in Istanbul, our board-certified plastic surgeons combine advanced surgical techniques with personalized care to ensure safe procedures and natural results that reflect each patient’s expectations.

Types of Breast Augmentation
Types of breast implants
  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saline solution, these implants provide a firm feel and allow for adjustable volume during surgery.
  • Silicone Implants: Made of cohesive silicone gel, they are popular for their natural look and soft, realistic feel.
  • Gummy Bear Implants: Form-stable silicone implants that retain their shape even if the outer shell is compromised.
  • Round and Anatomical Implants: Round implants enhance cleavage and fullness, while anatomical (teardrop) implants mimic the natural slope of the breast for subtle, proportionate results.
  • Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation: Uses liposuctioned fat from the patient’s own body to increase breast size naturally without implants.
Breast Augmentation Process at Estexper Clinic

At Estexper Clinic, the breast enlargement journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where the surgeon discusses patient goals, evaluates anatomy, and recommends the most suitable implant type and size. Advanced imaging may be used to visualize the expected outcome, ensuring patients feel confident in their choice.

On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a modern, accredited hospital environment. Implants are carefully placed through small incisions—typically in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit—depending on the surgical plan. The operation usually takes one to two hours.

After surgery, patients are closely monitored by our medical team. Most can return to light daily activities within a few days and resume exercise after a few weeks. With proper aftercare and regular follow-up, results are long-lasting, creating natural-looking, harmonious breast contours.
