Breast implant is a prosthesis used during breast surgery, usually filled with silicone or saline solution. Breast
implants can be used to increase or reshape breast size, correct breast irregularities, or to reconstruct breasts after
breast cancer treatment.
Implants are placed under breast tissue or under the chest muscles during breast surgery. Breast implants are available in various sizes, shapes, and materials and can be selected according to the patient's preferences and needs.
Women who want to have breast implants must first determine whether they are suitable candidates by examining their
reactions. Positive factors for breast implant surgery include having sufficient breast tissue, completing breast
development, having a low risk of breast cancer, and being in good health.
Women who are planning to become pregnant or breastfeed may consider postponing breast implant surgery.
The recovery process after breast implant surgery can vary from person to person and can vary depending on the method
used during surgery, the implant material used, and the patient's overall health. Generally, pain, swelling, and
bruising can be seen in the first few days after surgery, and patients may need to use a special bra suitable for their
breast implant.
Rest is recommended for the first few days, and physical activities may be restricted. It is important to avoid heavy
lifting during the first few weeks, move slowly, and be wary of fatigue. After the healing process is complete, the
individual can return to their normal activities.
