What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation (also called breast enlargement or a “boob job”) is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast volume and shape. This is usually achieved by placing silicone or saline implants behind the breast tissue or chest muscle.

Patients commonly choose breast augmentation to:

  • Increase naturally small breast size
  • Restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Improve breast symmetry
  • Enhance body proportions
  • Improve self-confidence

A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine the most suitable implant type, size, and surgical technique.

Breast augmentation costs in Turkey are significantly lower than in Western Europe or North America. This price difference is mainly due to lower operating costs and favorable exchange rates, not lower medical standards.

Breast Augmentation in Turkey – Procedure Overview

Pre-Procedure

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation. Your medical history, including previous surgeries, medications, and allergies, will be reviewed.

You will explore the different types of implants available at Cosmedica Aesthetic:

  • Saline Breast Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater.
  • Silicone Gel Implants: Filled with silicone gel, offering a more natural feel.
  • Fat Transfer Augmentation: Ideal for those seeking a more natural enhancement without implants.

The surgeon will examine your breasts. We will measure you to find the best implant size and placement. Some clinics use 3D imaging to show you what implants would look like on your body. Based on your goals and physical assessment, the surgeon will create a tailored surgical plan.

Preparation

You will get instructions on how to prepare before your procedure. You may need to stop taking certain medications, like blood thinners, to reduce risks during surgery.
Basic blood tests are conducted to check overall health. Depending on your medical history, additional tests like ECG may be required to ensure you’re fit for surgery.

Procedure

The surgeon will make a small incision under general anesthesia. The incision type is chosen based on the implant type, size, and patient preference.
The surgeon will create a pocket either under the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the chest muscle (submuscular). The chosen implant is carefully inserted, and adjustments are made to ensure symmetry and optimal appearance.
Incisions are closed with sutures, surgical tape, or skin adhesives. In many cases, dissolvable sutures are used, which do not require removal.

FAQs - Breast Augmentation in Turkey

  • Infection: Though rare, infections can occur at the incision site or around the implant. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, fever, and pain. Severe infections might require antibiotics or, in some cases, implant removal.
  • Bleeding or Hematoma: Excessive bleeding pre or post-surgery can lead to a hematoma. This can cause pain, swelling, and bruising, and might require additional surgery to drain the accumulated blood. Look out for unplanned changes like weight loss or pain.
  • Implant Rupture or Leakage: If a saline implant ruptures, the implant will deflate as the saline solution leaks out. The body absorbs the saline harmlessly, but the breast will appear deflated. A rupture in silicone implants is less obvious, because the silicone may remain trapped in the surrounding tissue. Over time, it can cause discomfort, lumps, or changes in breast shape.
  • Implant Displacement or Rotation: Implants can sometimes move from their original position, causing asymmetry or sagging breasts. This could happen because of issues with the surgical pocket, physical activity, or natural body changes over time.
  • Unnatural Shape or Position: Some patients might feel that the implants sit too high, low, and do not have a natural look or feel. This could result from improper implant placement or incorrect sizing, requiring revision surgery procedure to achieve the desired look.
  • Changes in Nipple Sensitivity: Altered sensitivity in the nipples is a possible side effect. Some patients experience increased sensitivity, while others may experience numbness. In most cases, these changes are temporary, but they can sometimes be permanent.

When performed by qualified plastic surgeons in accredited clinics, breast augmentation in Turkey is generally considered a safe procedure. Patients should always research the clinic and surgeon before scheduling surgery.

Most breast implants last 10–20 years, although many patients keep them longer without complications.

Most patients remain in Turkey for 5–7 days after surgery to allow for initial recovery and follow-up checks.

Light activities can usually resume after 2–3 weeks, while more intense workouts may require 4–6 weeks.
