Before Enhancing Your Breasts, Are You Sure You Know These Things?

Before enhancing your breasts

Is breast augmentation good? What type of augmentation is best? Before deciding to undergo breast augmentation, it's not just about thinking whether the results will look beautiful or whether the new size will match your expectations. There are several important factors you should understand — from choosing the right type of silicone to proper postoperative care. Here are 5 important things you should know… that you may not have heard about before.

1. The “Midline Incision Line of the Silicone” Is Crucial for Natural-Looking Breasts

Many people believe that natural-looking augmented breasts depend mainly on silicone shape and postoperative care, such as breast massage. However, the most crucial factor is actually the midline incision line of the silicone.

This step involves measuring the patient’s original breast base to select a silicone midline that resembles the original breast structure as closely as possible.
If this step is incorrect or overlooked, the breasts may appear blocky or obviously augmented.

2. New Breasts Can Be Small or Large — CC Volume Isn’t the Main Deciding Factor

People often focus on “how many CCs” of silicone to choose. But in reality, the process works differently:

After determining the correct midline incision line, the surgeon compares this measurement with the silicone brand’s size chart. This determines the profile or projection (how far the implant projects forward).
Only then will the actual CC volume be known.

This means CC is not the primary indicator of size — the shape and projection play a larger role in how the breasts will look.

3. “Silicone Placement” Also Plays a Major Role in Avoiding Unnatural, Blocky Breasts

Even with the correct midline, the placement of the implant affects the final aesthetic result.

For example, when silicone is placed under the muscle (submuscular placement), the muscle presses gently against the upper pole of the implant. This creates a natural teardrop slope, making the breast appear smooth, soft, and more natural — especially in the upper area.

After Breast Augmentation Surgery, Massage Is Unnecessary

Many people worry about tightness or complications after surgery, leading them to massage their breasts themselves or seek professional massage.
However, with modern techniques — especially submuscular placement — breast massage is no longer necessary.

Arm stretching during postoperative exercises already provides gentle, natural movement to the muscle and implant.
Improper self-massage, on the other hand, may cause complications or breast deformities.

Self-Care After Surgery Is Just as Important as the Surgery Itself

Many patients assume that after one week — once sutures are removed — they can resume normal activities.
In reality, sutures are removed at seven days mainly to prevent long-term scarring. This does not mean the incision is fully healed.

During the healing period, patients must avoid:

  • Lifting arms above the head

  • Carrying heavy objects

  • Sudden or forceful arm movements

These actions may reopen the incision or cause infection.

When planning for surgery, in addition to choosing the location and considering the cost, it is important to gather other essential information. This includes understanding the surgical techniques, the types of silicone implants available, proper pre- and postoperative self-care, and scheduling a consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss all details thoroughly before making a decision. This is a crucial step that should never be overlooked.
