Comprehensive Guide to Breast Procedures at Laviva Clinic Turkey

Introduction to Breast Procedures

Breast procedures are among the most sought-after cosmetic surgeries worldwide, with millions of women seeking to enhance, reduce, lift, or reconstruct their breasts for both aesthetic and functional reasons. At Laviva Clinic in Turkey, we offer a comprehensive range of breast procedures performed by expert surgeons in state-of-the-art facilities.

Whether you’re looking to increase your breast size, restore breast shape after pregnancy or weight loss, reduce discomfort from overly large breasts, or reconstruct breasts after mastectomy, our experienced team provides personalized care to help you achieve your desired results with safety, quality, and affordability in mind.

Types of Breast Procedures at Laviva Clinic

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and enhance breast shape using implants or fat transfer techniques. This procedure can significantly improve body proportions, boost self-confidence, and restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss.

Breast Implant Options

At Laviva Clinic, we offer various types of breast implants to match your unique needs and desired outcomes:

1. Saline Implants
   • Filled with sterile salt water
   • Can be adjusted for size during surgery
   • If ruptured, safely absorbed by the body
   • FDA-approved for patients 18 years and older
2. Silicone Implants
   • Filled with silicone gel that closely mimics natural breast tissue
   • Offers a more natural look and feel
   • Requires regular monitoring through imaging tests
   • FDA-approved for patients 22 years and older
3. Gummy Bear Implants
   • Form-stable silicone implants with a thicker gel
   • Maintain their shape even if the shell breaks
   • Less likely to wrinkle or ripple
   • Ideal for women seeking more projection and upper pole fullness
4. Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
   • Uses your own fat from other body areas
   • Provides subtle enhancement with natural results
   • Dual benefit of body contouring through liposuction
   • Ideal for patients seeking modest size increase without implants

Implant Placement Options

Our surgeons at Laviva Clinic offer different placement options based on your anatomy and goals:

• Submuscular Placement: Implant placed under the chest muscle for more natural results and reduced risk of capsular contracture
• Subglandular Placement: Implant placed between the breast tissue and chest muscle for quicker recovery and more dramatic results
• Dual Plane Technique: A hybrid approach combining benefits of both methods

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This procedure can rejuvenate your figure by restoring a more youthful breast contour without necessarily changing the size of your breasts.

When to Consider a Breast Lift

• Your breasts sag or have lost shape and volume
• Your nipples and areolas point downward or sit below the breast crease when unsupported
• You have stretched skin and enlarged areolas
• One breast hangs lower than the other

Breast Lift Techniques

Our expert surgeons at Laviva Clinic utilize several techniques based on the degree of sagging and desired results:

1. Crescent Lift: Minimal incision along the upper half of the areola, ideal for minimal sagging
2. Periareolar (Donut) Lift: Circular incision around the areola, suitable for mild sagging
3. Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: Incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, appropriate for moderate sagging
4. Inverted-T (Anchor) Lift: Most comprehensive technique for significant sagging, with incisions around the areola, vertically down, and horizontally along the breast crease

Many patients choose to combine a breast lift with augmentation to address both sagging and volume loss. Our surgeons can help determine the best approach to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body. This procedure not only enhances appearance but also relieves the physical discomfort associated with overly large breasts.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

• Physical Relief: Alleviates chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
• Improved Posture: Reduces the strain of carrying excess weight
• Enhanced Activity: Makes exercise and physical activities more comfortable
• Reduced Skin Irritation: Minimizes rashes and skin infections under the breasts
• Better Fitting Clothes: Allows for more clothing options and better fit
• Psychological Benefits: Improves self-confidence and body image

Breast Reduction Techniques

Our surgeons at Laviva Clinic employ advanced techniques to minimize scarring while achieving optimal results:

1. Traditional Reduction: Uses an anchor-shaped incision pattern for significant reductions
2. Vertical (Lollipop) Reduction: Utilizes fewer incisions for moderate reductions
3. Liposuction-Only Reduction: For cases where fat is the primary concern with minimal excess skin

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that restores the shape, appearance, and size of the breast following mastectomy, lumpectomy, or congenital deformities. At Laviva Clinic, we understand the emotional significance of this procedure and prioritize creating natural-looking results.

Reconstruction Options

1. Implant-Based Reconstruction
   • Direct-to-implant: Placement of permanent implant during mastectomy
   • Two-stage with tissue expander: Gradual expansion followed by permanent implant
2. Autologous Tissue Reconstruction
   • DIEP Flap: Uses tissue from the abdomen without sacrificing muscles
   • Latissimus Dorsi Flap: Uses tissue from the back
   • TRAM Flap: Uses abdominal tissue with some muscle
3. Combination Approaches
   • Utilizing both implants and natural tissue for optimal results

Why Choose Turkey for Breast Procedures

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Procedures

How do I know which breast procedure is right for me?

The best procedure depends on your specific concerns and goals. During your consultation at Laviva Clinic, our surgeons will assess your anatomy and discuss your desired outcomes to recommend the most appropriate procedure:

• Breast Augmentation: For increasing size and enhancing shape
• Breast Lift: For raising and reshaping sagging breasts
• Breast Reduction: For decreasing size and alleviating discomfort
• Breast Reconstruction: For restoring breasts after mastectomy or congenital issues
• Combined Procedures: For addressing multiple concerns simultaneously

How long do breast implants last?

While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, modern implants are designed to be durable and long-lasting. On average, implants may last 10-20 years or more. Regular check-ups with your surgeon are recommended to monitor implant integrity. At Laviva Clinic, we provide guidance on implant maintenance and replacement when necessary.

Will my breast procedure results look natural?

Achieving natural-looking results is our priority at Laviva Clinic. Our surgeons use advanced techniques and carefully select implant sizes and shapes proportionate to your body. By considering factors such as your chest width, height, weight, and existing breast tissue, we ensure balanced, natural-looking outcomes that complement your overall physique.

How long should I stay in Turkey for my breast procedure?

We recommend staying in Turkey for approximately 7-10 days following your breast procedure. This allows for:

• Your procedure day
• Initial recovery under medical supervision
• Post-operative check-ups
• Removal of drainage tubes (if applicable)
• Final assessment before flying home

Our patient coordinators can assist with travel arrangements and recommendations for your stay.

Are breast procedures painful?

Discomfort levels vary depending on the procedure and individual pain tolerance. Most patients report moderate discomfort rather than severe pain, which is typically well-managed with prescribed pain medications. Our comprehensive approach to pain management ensures your comfort throughout the recovery process.

What are the potential risks of breast procedures?

Like all surgical procedures, breast surgeries carry certain risks, including:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Scarring
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation
• Implant-specific complications (rupture, capsular contracture)
• Asymmetry

At Laviva Clinic, we minimize these risks through thorough pre-operative assessment, advanced surgical techniques, and comprehensive aftercare. Our surgeons will discuss all potential risks and how we mitigate them during your consultation.

Will my insurance cover my breast procedure?

Most cosmetic breast procedures are considered elective and not covered by insurance. However, breast reduction and reconstruction may be covered if deemed medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider regarding their specific policies. Regardless of coverage, Laviva Clinic offers competitive pricing and financing options to make your procedure affordable.
