What is Breast Augmentation in Turkey (Breast enlargement)?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that has goal the increase of the size and shape of the breasts. This breast implant surgery is carried out by plastic surgeons who apply breast implants to reach the needed appearance. This method is mostly preferred by women who want to improve the appearance of their breasts, whether it be for size increase, better symmetry, or recovering the volume after pregnancy or weight loss. The patients must be healthy and have a realistic expectation of the results.
Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation in Turkey?
I can identify good candidates for breast augmentation based on several medical and scientific criteria:
- Good General Health: Ideal candidates are free from major health issues.
- Non-smokers: Smoking can interfere with healing.
- Stable Weight: Weight stability ensures better outcomes.
- Realistic Expectations: Understanding the procedure's limits is crucial.
- Adults: Candidates should be over 18 after breasts have fully developed.
- Not Pregnant/Nursing: Pregnancy and nursing can alter breast tissues.
What are the advantages of Breast Augmentation in Turkey?
Improved Breast symmetry
Breast augmentation corrects the asymmetrical and makes them proportionally aligned.
Increased self-esteem
A lot of patients get a great kick in their self-confidence and body image after the surgery.
Breast Reconstruction
The operation is the key factor for restoring the breast after mastectomy, thus, women can feel as if they are normal and complete.
Aesthetic enhancement
It results in the improvement of both breast size and shape, hence a more beautiful figure is created.
Clothing fit better
The body looks more balanced and the clothes as well as swimwear often fit better thus, they become more flattering.
Reversal of natural changes
Breast augmentation is a way of fighting the consequences of aging, pregnancy, and weight changes; it can therefore bring back the youthful look to breasts.
Long-aasting results
Although not forever, breast implants can give you a long-term result, the appearance of it does not change for many years before any adjustments are needed.
How to prepare for breast augmentation surgery in Turkey?
Before breast augmentation surgery, thorough preparation is the key to a successful result and to minimize the risks. Quit smoking at least six weeks before the surgery, because nicotine makes your blood vessels narrow and slows down healing. Stay away from aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements to lower the bleeding risks. Keep a balanced diet to boost your immune system and help with recovery, also restrict alcohol in order not to dehydrate yourself which has a harmful influence on healing. These measures are the key to perfect surgical results and a quick recovery. Rest some and decrease stress for good breast augmentation recovery.
What are the steps for breast augmentation surgery in Turkey?
Consultation and planning
The surgeon examines the patient's general health, talks about their aesthetic goals, and measures the breast anatomy to know which is the best type of implant and surgical approach.
Anesthesia administration
General anesthesia is done on the patient to keep him or her from feeling any pain and being comfortable during the whole operation.
Incision options
Inframammary Incision: It is in the fold under the breast that this incision is usually made because it gives direct access and makes implant placement easier.
Periareolar incision
Created around the nipple, it is perfect for patients who need distant adjustment of their nipples.
Transaxillary incision
Sited in the armpit, it does not leave any scars on the breast so patients who want a more clandestine procedure can use this method.
Creating the pocket
The doctor makes a pocket which is to be the place for implantation of breast implants. The pocket can be either under the muscle (submuscular) or over the breast tissue and above it, behind the muscle (sub-glandular).
Implant insertion
The chosen silicone or saline implants are precisely placed into the created pockets through the incisions.
Incision closure
The incisions should be closed carefully with sutures or surgical glue to prevent the
What should I do after Breast Augmentation in Turkey?
Following certain rules after breast augmentation surgery is a must for the recovery to go smoothly. undefined
Do:
Wear your support bra: Keep on helping to lessen the swelling and assist in the right way of healing.
Take prescribed medication: Control the pain and avoid infection by your surgeon's instructions.
Attend follow-up appointments: Make sure the healing process is right and tackle any issues that may arise early on.
Rest adequately: Let your body rest by sleeping enough and not doing hard activities.
Don't do:
Engage in heavy lifting or vigorous exercise: Stay away from activities that might put a load on your chest or move implants around for at least six weeks.
Smoke: Smoking is a factor that can slow down the process of wound healing and make it more likely for complications to occur.
Ignore signs of infection: Keep an eye on the enhanced redness, swelling, or weird discharge, and if these symptoms appear you should call your surgeon.
Sleep on your stomach: Do not push your breasts as it is to keep the shape of the implants and also to avoid pain.
Does breast enlargement surgery hurt?
Yes, a breast enlargement procedure causes pain.
This is attenuated through different pain control methods. Furthermore, general anesthesia is used before going into surgery, which allows patients to be unconscious and experience no pain. In the standard prescription pattern after an operation, opioids are often given as painkillers for acute pain, and acetaminophen or NSAIDs as painkillers for mild discomfort. Surgeons would sometimes advise long-acting local anesthetics that still anesthetize that surgery area for hours even after the operation. Moreover, other measures such as cryotherapy where you wrap your foot with ice for the same purposes; can also give it a try to ease the pain and reduce the swelling as well.
Are Breast Augmentation scars permanent?
Yes, breast augmentation scars are permanent.
As a surgeon, I can say any surgery will produce some kind of scar as it is the body's way of healing. Nevertheless, the scars will be less visible in time if they are taken care of properly. The advanced surgical methods are designed to cover the scars by making breast augmentation incisions in less visible places, such as under the breast fold or around the areola.

Breast augmentation packages in Turkey
Turkey's breast augmentation packages are all-inclusive. Usually, they cover everything from consultations to post-operative care at one price only. These packages are appealing because of Turkey's known plastic surgeons and modern medical facilities. Apart from the mentioned above, many packages also incorporate accommodation and transportation, which is a big plus for international patients who are looking for high-quality and at the same time cost-effective cosmetic procedures.
Is breast augmentation surgery safe in Turkey? Are boob jobs in Turkey good?
Yes, breast augmentation surgery in Turkey is safe.
The country's well-regulated healthcare system and the availability of highly skilled and internationally trained plastic surgeons ensure safety. Turkey's facilities have a modern background. Hospitals in Turkey follow international standards of care and hygiene. Yet, like any other operation, the most important factor in its safety is the choice of a surgeon and facility which requires extensive research and check for credentials. Patients should think about the surgeon portfolios, patient testimonials, and facility accreditations so that they can be assured of a safe and satisfying experience.
How is breast size decided for breast augmentation?
Being a surgeon, the decision on breast augmentation size for augmentation is made through a thorough consultation process that takes into account the patient's body frame, aesthetic goals, and medical considerations.
We apply scientific methods like 3D imaging and sizers to visualize and physically simulate the post-surgery results which in return help patients make well-informed choices. Besides skin elasticity and body anatomy, medical factors such as the breast implant size also play an important role in choosing the right one to guarantee both safety and proportionality. At the end of the day, all that is meant to be done is a natural and aesthetic result that will go hand in hand with what the patient wants and at the same time keep him or her healthy.
How long do silicone prostheses (breast enlargement) last?
Being a surgeon, I can tell you that silicone breast implants normally have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years but it differs on several factors.
The scientific and medical data show that the longevity of these implants can be affected by the quality of the implant, the surgical technique used, and the body response of an individual. To lengthen the life of silicone implants, it is very important to keep a regular follow-up with your surgeon, quickly solve any complications and at all times be in good health and take care of your breast. Besides, it is necessary to be aware of any changes in breast shape or feel and consult with a healthcare provider if such changes occur since the earlier management can help and even replace the implants when needed.
Does silicone prosthesis cause cancer?
The silicone breast prostheses are not the cause of cancer.
The FDA and other health organizations have done a lot of research, including studies that show no connection between silicone breast implants and systemic diseases such as cancer. The worry is particularly about BIA-ALCL which is a rare and curable type of immune system cancer related mainly to the textured implants, not the silicone material itself. (FDA).
Can I breastfeed with silicone after breast augmentation?
Many women can breastfeed after breast augmentation with silicone implants, depending on the surgical approach used. Incisions made in less intrusive areas, like under the breast or the armpit, are less likely to affect milk production than those around the areola. Silicone itself does not interact with breast milk or pose health risks to the infant, as the material is inert and designed to be biocompatible. Women considering breastfeeding after such procedures should discuss potential impacts with their surgeon, particularly regarding incision sites and implant placement. Lastly, consulting a lactation expert can be beneficial if any breastfeeding challenges arise post-surgery.
Is it possible to combine breast augmentation with other surgery?
Yes, it is done to combine with other surgery
Usually, the surgeries are done together. Breast lift (mastopexy) is often combined with breast enlargement to increase both the size and position of the breasts. Tummy tucks(abdominoplasty) or liposuction are the other common procedures to combine. For instance in "mommy makeovers" which is to get a woman's body back after giving birth. Every single combined procedure should be well-thought and it is based on the patient's health, desired outcomes, and surgical risk. Surgeons use evidence-based techniques to make sure that the procedure is safe and effective, they adjust anesthesia and recovery plans according to the specifics of combined surgeries.
Is there any loss of sensation in breasts after breast augmentation?
Yes, there can be a loss of feeling in the breasts after breast augmentation.
This side effect happens because the tissues and nerves are manipulated during the surgery of implant placement. Sensation loss may be either temporary or permanent, with the majority of patients feeling a return of sensation over months as nerves regenerate. Nevertheless, the degree and duration of sensory modifications can be different depending on the surgical method used and individual factors.
Does silicone affect mammography?
Yes, silicone implants can distort the results of mammography.
A surgeon needs to realize that though silicone implants are themselves radiopaque and do not let the X-rays pass through them, this can pose problems for accurate visualization of all the breast tissue during a mammogram. The technicians use specific methods and extra images, which are called Eklund views or implant displacement views, to get around implants and enhance the visualization of the breast tissue. Patients with implants should always tell their mammography technician about the fact that they have implants so appropriate adjustments can be made to make sure that the examination is as effective as possible.
What are the side effects of breast augmentation?
It is very important to talk about the side effects of breast augmentation which are both immediate and long-term. The usual symptoms a patient experiences right after surgery are pain, swelling, bruising, and the nipple area is more sensitive. The long-term complication might be the capsular contracture known as breast implant rupture, which is when the scar tissue forms around the implant causing hardness also it leads to rupture or deflation of an implant together with changes in breast and nipple sensation. Infrequently, there could be complications like infection or hematoma formation.
The risks have to be kept under control by special means. Routine check-ups with your doctor, compliance with the post-operative care instructions, and watching for any changes are necessary. Moreover, the possibility of breast-feeding issues should be taken into account, and the fact that in the future additional surgeries might be needed for some reasons like implant replacement or cosmetic adjustments due to changes in weight during aging.

The brand and quality of breast prosthesis is an element which is just as important as the doctor's experience and should be taken into consideration. It is an inexpiable mistake to use low quality breast prosthesis in order to reduce the cost.
Before deciding for this treatment, one should utterly understand the patient's expectation and have a long talk with her in order to identify the right measure for her body. As in every operation, the fact which I am mostly careful about in my breast prosthesis treatments is that I never promise my patient more than I could manage.
Unfortunately, the breast prosthesis alone may not be sufficient for some patients. For patients who have breasts sagging too much, using breast prosthesis may cause unhappiness. Breast prosthesis should be combined with breast lift treatment in such cases, because the important thing is that the patient eventually has the breasts as she desires after the treatment, not what she approves to be done.
The operation lasts about one hour, and the patient is hosted in hospital for one night. A special bra should be used after the operation. On my opinion, as long as the breast prosthesis is implemented to right patient, it is one of the best resulting operations among plastic surgery.
