What is a Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery aimed at increasing the volume of the breasts via implants or lipofilling. It corrects hypoplasia, asymmetry, or loss of volume after pregnancy. It is one of the most frequently performed interventions in Turkey.
This procedure is the second most requested surgery after rhinoplasty. Turkey has established itself as a leading destination thanks to its accredited clinics and the expertise of its plastic surgeons. For those considering the trip, medical tourism in Turkey offers high-end care at accessible rates.
This intervention can be motivated by:
- Aesthetic reasons: Tuberous breasts, small size (hypotrophy), or skin sagging (ptosis) post-breastfeeding.
- Medical reasons: Reconstruction after a mastectomy or correction of a congenital malformation.
Why choose Turkey for breast augmentation?
Medical tourism in Istanbul is built on three major pillars that guarantee patient safety and satisfaction:
- Certified surgeons by international bodies (ISAPS, EBOPRAS).
- Clinics equipped with cutting-edge technology and strict hygiene protocols.
- Rates 40% to 60% lower than in Europe due to the cost of living and government incentives.
The different techniques used in Istanbul
The choice of technique depends on the patient’s morphology and the desired result (natural or voluminous).
1. Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift corrects sagging (ptosis). The operation lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours under general anaesthesia. It allows the shape to be redesigned by removing excess skin, without necessarily placing implants.
2. Breast Lipofilling (Fat Transfer)
Breast lipofilling is a natural technique consisting of harvesting fat (stomach, thighs) to reinject it into the breasts. Without implants, it offers a soft result without major scars, but with a moderate volume increase.
3. Placement of Breast Implants
The use of breast implants is the most reliable method. Implants (often made of cohesive silicone gel) are placed under or over the pectoral muscle. Turkish surgeons primarily use premium brands such as Mentor® or Motiva®.

Medical Stay Itinerary
The standard procedure usually lasts around 7 days:
- Pre-operative consultation: Blood analysis, health check-up, and 3D simulation of the result.
- Surgery: Performed under general anaesthesia in a sterile operating theatre (duration 1 to 2 hours).
- Post-operative follow-up: One night of hospitalisation included, then checks at the clinic before the return flight.
Important note: Patients with HIV are cared for in specific units ensuring absolute safety and discretion.
Recovery Period
The recovery period after a breast augmentation lasts 7 to 15 days. Wearing a compression bra is mandatory for one month to stabilise the implants. Avoid any intense physical effort or lifting heavy loads to ensure optimal healing.
For optimal healing, apply a healing ointment after medical advice. Post-operative oedema (swelling) is normal and subsides with rest. Avoid sports for 2 months and sun exposure for 1 year to protect your scars.
Risks and Precautions
Although rare (less than 1.5%), complications can occur:
- Hematomas or localised infections.
- Temporary change in nipple sensitivity.
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue).
To minimise these risks, it is crucial to follow instructions: wear the compression bra for 1 month and stop sports for 2 months.
Cultural note: The procedure is compatible with Islamic principles (Halal) when it aims to correct a physical complex impacting mental health or for medical reconstruction.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How long do implants last?
Modern implants (such as Mentor or Motiva) no longer have a limited lifespan of 10 years. They can last 20 to 25 years, although regular follow-up is recommended.
What size should I choose for breast augmentation in Istanbul?
To choose the right breast implant size, you will need to consider the profile you wish to achieve, as well as your current bust and body shape. The height of the implant projection will also affect the final size.
