What Is Breast Aesthetics (Breast Surgery)?
Breast aesthetics is the general term for aesthetic surgical procedures performed to improve the size, shape, and position of the breasts in harmony with the face and overall body proportions. The most commonly performed procedures include breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift surgery.
At Estecapelli, breast aesthetics is about more than simply enlarging or reducing the breasts. It is about creating a balanced, natural silhouette that complements the entire body. Every treatment plan is carefully personalized to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our ultimate aim is to help patients feel better both physically and emotionally, achieving a body form they feel truly confident and comfortable in.
When Is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation surgery is an ideal solution in the following cases:
- Genetically small breast structure
- Breasts that appear small relative to overall body proportions
- Loss of volume and shape due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- A noticeable size difference between the two breasts
- Asymmetry or unevenness that affects confidence and clothing fit
- Volume restoration following breast cancer surgery or reconstruction
At Estecapelli, the goal of breast augmentation is not only to increase volume but to create a natural-looking breast form that suits the patient's body proportions, posture, and personal expectations.
How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an operating room and typically lasts 1.5–2 hours. Patients are usually discharged the day after, following a check-up.
Silicone Implant Selection: Round or Teardrop?
Breast implants vary in shape, volume, surface, and content.
Most Commonly Used Implant Shapes:
Round Breast Implant: Suitable for those who want more pronounced fullness in the décolletage area.
Most Commonly Used Implant Shapes:
Teardrop (Anatomical) Implant: Mimics the natural breast shape, offering a softer upper part and fuller lower part.
Final Decision: Made together with the patient’s expectations and the surgeon’s professional assessment.
Incision Site and Implant Placement Area
In breast augmentation surgery, the incision can be made at one of three entry points:
- Underarm
- Under the breast
- Around the nipple
The choice of incision site is made together with the patient during consultation, with priority given to minimizing visible scarring and protecting the milk ducts.
Implants can be placed in one of two tissue layers:
- Above the muscle (under the breast tissue)
- Below the muscle
Submuscular placement is frequently preferred as it tends to offer a more natural appearance, better long-term tissue support, and a lower risk of capsular contracture. The most suitable option is determined through detailed examination and personalized planning.

Establishing a Clear Mutual Understanding Between Surgeon and Patient on Expectations and Outcomes
For a fully settled, natural, and near-final appearance, a period of 3–6 months is usually required. The recovery process after breast augmentation surgery generally proceeds as follows:
As stitches heal and swelling decreases, the new breast shape becomes more defined.
Turkish baths, saunas, very hot environments, and solariums should be avoided for a while.
Heavy lifting, sudden arm movements, and intense exercise are not advised during the first month.
Regular use of the medical bra or corset recommended by the surgeon speeds up recovery.
Swelling and sensitivity in the breast area may occur during the first week.
Mild to moderate pain and tightness on the first day are normal and manageable with medication.
