Is it safe to get a Boob Job in Turkey?

Turkey is a global leader in plastic surgery, renowned for its skilled surgeons, internationally accredited clinics, and award-winning hospitals. While Turkey is widely regarded as a safe destination for breast surgery, it’s essential to recognise that quality can vary between clinics. To ensure you choose a safe, reputable, and trusted provider, consider asking these key questions:

Ask about aftercare:

The aftercare process for check-ups is typically included for the entire length of your stay. Even after you return home, your patient coordinator should be available to answer any post-surgery questions.

Your surgeon will also provide you with a detailed aftercare plan to support your recovery and ensure the best possible results.

Research Your Surgeon

When choosing a surgeon, it’s essential to research their credentials and review the experiences of previous patients they have operated on.

During your consultation, clearly communicate your expectations and review the surgeon’s portfolio for results similar to what you’re aiming for. This ensures the surgeon has a thorough understanding of your desired outcome.

Key questions to ask:

Can the surgeon provide proof of malpractice insurance?
Is the clinic registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health?
Does the surgeon hold an ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) certificate?
Can they show before-and-after photos from previous patients?

Show the surgeon what you want

You’ve probably seen some examples online from celebrities and influencers that you want your breasts to look like after surgery, but this is not always going to be the case, as everyone’s body is different, and every outcome can change depending on your body type.

Before you even fly out to Turkey you should send in some photos of what your breasts look like, with examples of other people on how you want the final result to look like.

If  you’re feeling nervous at this point, then you can always ask check the following:

Look at reviews from previous patients
Ask to see patient results after a full recovery
Confirm your data is protected when sending photos 

How to prepare for Breast Augmentation?

Before travelling to Turkey, the surgeon should request photos and medical information to determine if you are eligible for a consultation. This may include:

Current medications
Diagnosed conditions
Whether you smoke or drink alcohol

It is important to inform the surgeon about any medications you are taking and provide accurate details about alcohol or substance use before the consultation.

During your initial consultation, the surgeon will carry out a full medical examination, discuss the pre-operative process, types of implants, and surgical procedures, and review your medical history.

They may also conduct a mammogram, blood tests, and urine samples. Additionally, they might provide a trial implant for you to place in your bra, so you can see how the breasts will look after surgery.

The surgeon will also explain the different breast sizes and the options between silicone and saline implants, giving you a thorough understanding of the benefits and risks associated with each.

Before the surgery, the doctor may ask you to:

Avoid applying creams, lotions, or deodorants to your body
Stop drinking alcohol before surgery
Quit smoking before surgery
Avoid wearing cosmetics
Wear comfortable clothes

Essential information for Breast Augmentation 

Duration: 2-3 hours
Hospital Stay: 1 night
Full Recovery:  4-6 weeks 
Results: 3-4 months

Types of Breast Implants

The surgeoon will discuss the options of breast implants, sizes, and benefits for either silicone and saline implants.

Silicone Implants: Known for their soft, natural feel, silicone implants closely mimic natural breast tissue. They are the go-to choice for patients seeking subtle, realistic enhancements.

Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants provide a firmer feel and offer the benefit of adjustability during surgery. They are also valued for their simplicity and safety.

Shapes of Implants:

Round Implants:
These add more volume to the upper breast, creating a fuller, more lifted appearance—perfect for a dramatic enhancement.

Teardrop Implants:
Designed to mimic the natural slope of the breast, teardrop implants are ideal for achieving a subtle, natural contour.

What happens during Breast Augmentation surgery?

Breast enlargement surgery is performed under general anaesthetic, and can be performed with three different incision types. The typical incision methods are Periareolar incision, Inframammary fold incision, and Trans-axillary incision.

Depending on your anatomy and desired results, the surgeon will position the implant either behind the chest muscle (submuscular) for a more natural look and reduced visibility, or in front of the muscle (subglandular) for a fuller appearance and quicker recovery, tailoring the approach to your specific needs.

The procedure starts by the surgeon making an incision below the breast, so they can position the implant either between or behind the chest muscle. Once the implants are placed they will adjust the position to the desired shape and size.

Once the implants are positioned the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures, and may place temporary surgical drains to help remove excess fluid. Then you will be taken to the recovery room and be closely monitored by the medical team and given medication to help with pain relief.

How long is Recovery for Breast Augmentation in Turkey?

Typically, breast augmentation recovery takes 4-6 weeks, in which time the swelling and bruising should have reduced, but a full recovery can take up to 18 months.

Scaring visibility will depend on the incision placements, and can typically take up to 18 months to heal, but there are things you can do before and after the surgery to help the process of healing the scars, such as avoiding smoking before and after the procedure, and staying out of the sun.

After the operation:

During the first couple of days of recovery your boobs are going to feel sore and swollen, so to help reduce swelling you will be provided with a supportive surgical bra, advised to sleep upright to avoid fluid accumaltion, and be given medication to help with the pain.

Week 1-4

Strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first couple of weeks, and you should drink plenty of water and apply ice packs to the breast area. At this point you should notice the breasts are becoming more rounded on the bottom and sides. 

Week 6-12

After the six week mark both breasts will continue to drop into place and start to look more natural. Most of the swelling will be gone and you will notice the scarring will start to fade. During this period you should still keep your breasts out of the sun.

Why choose Turkey for a boob job?

The main reason people choose Turkey for breast enlargement is because of the outstanding quality of care, skilled surgeons, and affordability, with the benefit of having all inclusive package deals at a fraction of the price you would pay in the UK.

In recent years, there has been some bad press around choosing Turkey for surgery, but what they don’t talk about is all of the successful operations and happy patients that fly back from this wonderful country every year.

The reality is that there are risks with every surgery, but flying to Turkey for high quality breast augmentation is not more of a risk because it is Turkey – it’s actually a huge cost saving by travelling to a cheaper country who has built an entire infrastructure around medical tourism.

What are the risks associated with Breast Augmentation?

As with any operation, breast augmentation does carry risks. We advise patients to discuss the risks and complications with the surgeon before deciding to have breast surgery, so you feel completely comfortable about the procedure.

We minimise risks by working with experienced surgeons and providing comprehensive aftercare. Your surgeon will discuss these potential complications in detail during your consultation.

Some complications can include:

Capsular Contracture: Excessive scar tissue forming around the implant.

Implant Rupture or Deflation: Silicone or saline leaking due to a weakened shell.

Infection or Poor Scarring: Rare complications that require proper aftercare.

Some other risks may include:

– Changes in nipple sensation
– Poor scarring
– Infection
– Bleeding
