Breast augmentation, often also called “breast surgery” or “breast implant surgery,” has become one of the important ways for many women to regain confidence. However, it is very important to understand this procedure properly before making a decision.

Breast augmentation generally refers to surgery that uses implants to increase breast size or improve shape. This surgery has gained popularity as a way to address women’s physical concerns and pursue aesthetic changes. It is also chosen by women who have concerns about breast size or shape, helping create a natural and beautiful breast line.

Who is breast augmentation recommended for?

Breast augmentation is usually performed by inserting silicone implants. In addition to making the breasts larger and firmer, the purpose of the surgery is also to correct breast asymmetry or create a more defined breast line.

It may also be effective for women who are concerned about sagging breasts after childbirth, those who feel uncomfortable wearing clothes because of a pronounced pectus carinatum, and those who are worried about a lack of upper-breast volume.

What is the transaxillary incision method?

The transaxillary incision method is a surgical approach in breast augmentation where the implant is inserted through an incision made in the armpit area rather than directly on the breast. Because the incision is made along the axillary crease, the scar is not easily visible from the outside, which offers a significant cosmetic advantage.

The transaxillary incision method is suitable for people with minimal breast sagging, those without a well-developed inframammary fold, and those who want to reduce concerns about scarring. Because the armpit area is not easily seen from the outside, worries about scars can be reduced.

For women with thin skin or limited breast tissue, the transaxillary incision method may be a better choice. Since this method does not require a large incision, it can help prevent thin skin from stretching.

What is the inframammary fold incision method?

In breast augmentation, the inframammary fold incision method is a surgical technique in which an incision is made along the crease under the breast and the implant is inserted through that area. Because the inframammary fold is a natural crease, the incision site is hardly visible from the outside, and a postoperative scar is also relatively less noticeable.

The inframammary fold incision method is considered a relatively safe approach that provides natural-looking results. It is suitable for people with a clearly defined inframammary fold, those whose breast position is lower than average, and those for whom a quick return to daily life after surgery is important.

The inframammary fold incision method is chosen by many women for its stability, predictability, and natural results. In particular, when implant size or position adjustment is important, this method can be highly advantageous. However, it is important to carefully decide through consultation whether this method is right for you and, furthermore, which surgical method is best for you.

The dual-plane method that can help prevent side effects

One of the important decisions for many women considering breast augmentation is the location and method of implant placement. Breast augmentation surgery has various approaches depending on the implant placement site, and among them, the triple-plane method is one of the surgical techniques that has recently been receiving attention. The triple-plane method offers a new approach to determining implant position and can help achieve more natural results and stable recovery.

The triple-plane method determines the implant placement position in breast augmentation according to three planes. In general surgery, the implant is placed below the gland, below the muscle, or between the gland and the muscle. The triple-plane method combines these three planes to create a more natural breast shape, and its biggest advantage is that it can help prevent side effects such as animation deformity that may occur with the existing dual-plane method.

Breast augmentation is a surgery that can play an important role in helping many women address discomfort with their bodies and gain confidence. However, it is most important to plan carefully and receive help from a trustworthy clinic and experienced professionals.

If you choose the size and shape that suit you and maintain proper postoperative care and a healthy lifestyle, breast augmentation can lead to satisfying results.
