At Carely Clinic, we specialize in safe and customized breast augmentation procedures to help you achieve the shape and size you desire.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. This procedure involves the use of implants or fat transfer to achieve your desired look, whether you seek more volume, better proportion, or a natural contour.
When you’ve spent years thinking about how breast enhancement could change not only your shape but also your self-esteem, and you’ve looked into your options but been put off by the high prices in the West, breast augmentation in Turkey is a solution that thousands of women find each year. For more and more international patients, this life-changing procedure in Turkey is a chance to reach their aesthetic goals with top-notch medical care at a fraction of the cost of similar procedures in the West.
Turkey is now a world leader in aesthetic plastic surgery. It has internationally trained specialists, state-of-the-art facilities, and all-inclusive care packages that make the whole process easy and comfortable. Every step, from your first meeting to your last follow-up, is planned with your health and transformation in mind.
At Carely Clinic in Istanbul, we’ve helped women from more than 40 countries get life-changing results with personalized breast augmentation procedures. Our team of specialized plastic surgeons, led by Op. Dr. Abdullah Sürücü, will help you through this life-changing journey by combining their technical skills with an artistic approach.
This complete guide has all the information you need about breast augmentation in Turkey, including how the procedure works, what types of implants are available, how much it will cost, how long it will take to heal, and what the long-term results will be.
Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgery that makes breasts bigger and better shaped by putting in implants or, in some cases, moving fat from one part of the body to another. Breast augmentation is often thought of as just a cosmetic procedure, but it can help with a lot of different issues, such as developmental asymmetry, changes that happen after pregnancy, and reconstruction after health problems.
Today’s methods of breast augmentation are very different from those used in the past. They focus on getting results that look natural, leave little scarring, and allow for a quick recovery. The surgery involves making a pocket for the implant by making carefully placed cuts that minimize visible scarring. The pocket can be behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or partially or completely under the chest muscle (submuscular/dual plane).
The surgery usually lasts 1 to 2 hours and is done with general anesthesia. Most of the time, it is done as an outpatient procedure, but patients from other countries often stay overnight to be watched before going back to their hotel. Most women feel some pain for 3 to 5 days, which can be managed with painkillers. They can start doing light activities again within a week and most normal activities within 3 to 4 weeks.
Breast augmentation can have a big impact on a person’s mental health, in addition to their physical appearance. Studies show that after the procedure, people’s body image, self-esteem, and quality of life all get better. A thorough study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that 98% of women were happy with their results and would have the procedure again (McCarthy et al., 2023).
The best result isn’t just bigger breasts; it’s also better proportions that fit your body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. With modern methods and implant choices, you can get very personalized results, from small changes that friends might not notice to bigger changes that still look and feel natural.
Implant Types
The choice of implant significantly impacts your results, and today’s options offer unprecedented variety to match your specific goals:
Implant profile refers to how much the implant projects forward from the chest wall:
During your consultation, our surgeons will discuss which combination of implant type, shape, profile, placement, and incision approach will best achieve your desired outcome based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Beyond the obvious aesthetic enhancement, breast augmentation delivers numerous life-enhancing benefits that extend into multiple aspects of daily life:
Research confirms these experiences are common. A comprehensive study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal found that breast augmentation resulted in significant improvements in self-reported quality of life, sexual confidence, and body image that remained stable even 5 years post-procedure (Alderman et al., 2024). Another study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery demonstrated measurable improvements in self-esteem and social functioning following breast augmentation, with 97% of patients reporting they would make the same decision again (Maxwell et al., 2023).
Results are visible immediately after surgery, though final outcomes emerge as swelling subsides and implants settle over 3-6 months, a period sometimes called the “drop and fluff” phase. Most patients report that within 6 months, their breasts have a completely natural look and feel, with scars continuing to fade over 12-18 months.
Understanding if you’re an ideal candidate for breast augmentation helps establish realistic expectations and ensures optimal surgical outcomes:
| Criteria | Ideal Candidate | May Need Additional Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 18+ with fully developed breasts | Under 18 or developmental concerns |
| Health Status | Good general health, non-smoker, well-controlled chronic conditions | Uncontrolled medical conditions, active smoking |
| Motivation | Personal desire for enhancement, realistic expectations | External pressure, seeking to please others |
| Breast Condition | Naturally small breasts, post-pregnancy changes, mild asymmetry | Severe ptosis (drooping) that may require combined procedures |
| Body Weight | Stable weight for 6+ months | Significant recent weight fluctuations |
| Family Planning | Completed family or understanding of potential future changes | Currently pregnant or breastfeeding |
| Breast Health | Normal mammogram (if age-appropriate), no undiagnosed masses | Abnormal breast imaging requiring investigation |

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. It’s performed for cosmetic improvement, symmetry correction, or breast reconstruction.
The average cost of breast augmentation in Turkey ranges from €2,700 to €3,500, depending on the clinic, surgeon experience, and implant type. Packages usually include accommodation, airport transfers, surgery, and aftercare.
Turkey offers lower costs due to favorable exchange rates, lower operating expenses, and high competition among clinics — not due to reduced quality. Many Turkish clinics meet or exceed international safety standards.
Yes, when performed in accredited hospitals by qualified plastic surgeons, breast augmentation in Turkey is safe. Choose a clinic that is JCI-accredited, uses FDA-approved implants, and provides full aftercare.
Most patients stay in Istanbul for 6 to 7 days. This allows time for consultation, surgery, early recovery, and a final post-op check before flying home.
Most clinics use FDA- or CE-approved silicone implants, such as Motiva or Mentor, available in round or anatomical (teardrop) shapes. Your surgeon will help you choose the best size and shape for your goals.
Surgeons in Turkey use discreet incisions, often placed under the breast fold (inframammary), around the areola, or through the armpit. Scars typically fade over time and are minimized through expert technique.
Breast augmentation surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours under general anesthesia. Patients are monitored closely and often return to their hotel the same day or after an overnight hospital stay.
Recovery is generally smooth. Most women resume light activities within 5–7 days and return to normal routines in 3–4 weeks. A support bra is worn during the first month to aid healing and shape.
Like any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, capsular contracture, or implant shifting. These are rare when performed by experienced surgeons in sterile, accredited facilities. Choosing a reputable clinic greatly reduces risk.
Most women can breastfeed after breast augmentation, especially when implants are placed under the muscle. However, outcomes vary depending on surgical technique and individual anatomy.
Absolutely — many patients report high satisfaction due to affordable pricing, excellent results, and professional care. Turkey offers one of the best value-to-quality ratios globally for plastic surgery.
