Who is it for?
Breast augmentation is for women who want more volume or better upper-pole fullness, for example after weight loss or breastfeeding, or because the breasts have always been small or uneven. You should be in good health, have finished growing and have realistic expectations. If the breasts have also dropped noticeably, a lift with implants may be recommended instead.
Choosing implants: shape, size and placement
The implant is chosen from your chest measurements, skin quality and the look you want, not from a cup size alone:
- Round or anatomical (teardrop): round implants give more upper fullness; anatomical ones a more sloping profile
- Placement over or under the muscle, or dual-plane: depends on how much natural tissue covers the implant
- Incision under the breast fold, around the areola or in the armpit: the fold incision is the most common
- Fat transfer: an option for a modest increase using your own fat, without implants
Safety, check-ups and the long term
Modern implants are made by established manufacturers and come with an implant card recording the brand, model and serial number; keep it safely. Implants are not considered lifetime devices: some patients need a further operation over the years, for example for capsular contracture, a change in shape or a wish to change size. Your surgeon explains the risks and how breast checks and screening continue after augmentation.
Travelling from the UK or Ireland for breast augmentation
Plan a stay of about 5 to 7 days in Istanbul: assessment and tests, the operation with usually one night in hospital, and a check-up before flying. The flight from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh or Dublin is around four hours. Wear the support bra you are given, avoid lifting heavy luggage and arrange help at the airport. Tell your GP before you go; afterwards, follow-up continues with photos and video calls, and your implant card and reports are given to you in English.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Breast Augmentation cost in Turkey?
The illustrative package price for Breast Augmentation in Istanbul is €3,200. It includes surgery at an authorised healthcare facility, hospital accommodation, hotel accommodation and airport transfers, with pre-operative tests and patient coordination and interpretation where specified. The final quotation is subject to a free medical assessment.
What does an all-inclusive Breast Augmentation package include?
Your quote lists the hospital and physician fees, required tests, check-ups, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and, on request, hotel accommodation as separate items. Flights are not included; we can help organise them if you wish.
How long does Breast Augmentation take?
The procedure takes about 1–2 hours. Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia.
How long do I stay in hospital and in Turkey?
Hospital stay: 1 night. The total stay in Türkiye is usually planned at 5–7 days; your physician confirms the exact length at your check-up.
Is Breast Augmentation in Turkey safe? What are the risks?
Every medical procedure carries risk: infection, bleeding, anaesthesia-related problems and healing that differs from what was expected are the main ones. To reduce risk, the procedure is performed by a specialist at a licensed hospital after pre-operative tests. Your physician explains the risks specific to you at your examination.
When can I go back to work and exercise?
Desk work is usually possible within 7 days and sport after 6 weeks. These times vary from person to person.
Will there be scars?
In the fold under the breast. Scars are noticeable in the first months and fade with time; how they heal depends on your skin.
When will I see the result?
The first change is visible as swelling settles; the final result appears in about 4 months. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
Can I see before and after photos?
Out of respect for patient privacy and under healthcare regulations, patient photos are shared only with the patient's consent. In your consultation the physician explains what is realistic in your case.
How do I choose the best clinic for Breast Augmentation in Istanbul?
There is no single “best clinic” for everyone; for a safe choice, check these: a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, the name of the hospital and the operating surgeon, a written plan based on a physician's assessment, an itemised quote and aftercare. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye; it publishes its authorisation, TÜRSAB and ISO certificates on this site and gives you all of this in writing with your quote.
Will I be able to breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Many women can, especially when the incision is in the breast fold. It cannot be guaranteed; discuss your plans with the surgeon.
Do implants need to be replaced every ten years?
Not automatically. They are replaced when there is a reason, such as capsular contracture, rupture or a wish to change size. Regular check-ups are advised.
Can I choose the implant size myself?
You decide together with the surgeon. Your wishes are the starting point, and your chest width and skin set the safe range.
Is Breast Augmentation in Turkey safe?
Like any operation, Breast Augmentation carries risks, and the risk depends far more on where and by whom it is done than on the country. The serious cases reported in the press have mostly involved unlicensed premises, non-specialists or too many procedures in one session. A safe choice means a hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, a named specialist surgeon, an anaesthetist, pre-operative tests and a long enough stay. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye, and you receive the hospital and surgeon details in writing before you travel.
Why is Breast Augmentation cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?
The difference comes mainly from lower operating and staff costs and the exchange rate; implants, materials and techniques follow the same international standards. Even so, do not choose on price alone: check the hospital licence, the surgeon’s specialty and exactly what the package includes.
