What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure designed to increase breast volume using implants or lipofilling. It corrects hypoplasia, asymmetry, or loss of volume after pregnancy. It is one of the most frequently performed procedures in Turkey.

This operation 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.

This intervention may 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 your breast augmentation?

Medical tourism in Istanbul is based on three major pillars that guarantee patient safety and satisfaction:

• Board-certified surgeons accredited by international bodies (ISAPS, EBOPRAS).
• Clinics equipped with state-of-the-art technologies 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 outcome (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 surgeon to reshape the breast by removing excess skin, with or without the need for implants.

2. Breast Lipofilling (Fat Transfer)

Breast lipofilling is a natural technique that involves harvesting fat (from the abdomen or thighs) to re-inject it into the breasts. Without implants, it offers a soft result without major scars, but with a moderate volume increase.

3. Breast Implants

The breast implant remains the most reliable method. Implants (often cohesive silicone gel) are placed under or over the pectoral muscle. Turkish surgeons primarily use premium brands such as Mentor® or Motiva®.

Procedure for your medical stay

The standard procedure lasts approximately 7 days:

1. Pre-operative consultation: Blood analysis, health check-up, and 3D simulation of the expected results.
2. Surgery: Performed under general anaesthesia in a sterile operating theatre (duration 1h to 2h).
3. Post-operative follow-up: One night of hospitalisation included, then follow-ups at the clinic before the return flight.

Important note: HIV-positive patients are cared for in specific units ensuring absolute safety and discretion.

Recovery period

The recovery after 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 fades 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:

• Haematomas or localised infections.
• Temporary modification of nipple sensitivity.
• Capsular contracture.

To minimise these risks, it is crucial to follow the instructions: wear the compression bra for 1 month and stop sports for 2 months.

Cultural note: The intervention is compatible with Islamic principles (Halal) when it aims to correct a physical complex impacting mental health or for medical reconstruction.
