Frequently Asked Questions
About Breast Surgery
Does the implant size affect the texture?
The ratio between the implant and the surrounding space is very important.
If the pocket is too tight, the implant cannot move naturally.
Therefore, sufficient space should be secured.
Implant selection should be based on your chest wall dimensions.
An implant that is too large for the chest may result in a firmer texture.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Modern breast augmentation does not affect pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
Patients can safely breastfeed after surgery without concerns.
Should implants be replaced during revision surgery?
In most cases, implant replacement is necessary during revision surgery to change the shape or size.
However, if the revision only corrects sagging, it may not require implant replacement.
When rupture or aging occurs, patients often choose to remove and replace the implant.
