Breast Augmentation Istanbul

Search for information about Breast augmentation in Istanbul? Visiting a foreign cosmetic or plastic surgery clinic is widely accepted. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to cities like Istanbul to undergo cosmetic surgery. The main reason for considering surgery abroad is the advertised lower cost. Breast augmentation in Istanbul is also an option, but is the procedure really as beneficial as people think?

Several Turkish clinics have a branch in the Netherlands and/or Belgium, possibly also in Germany. This makes accessibility relatively easy. If this is not the case and the only branch is in Istanbul, you will be forced to travel back and forth several times. Istanbul is not easily accessible by car and you have to rely on an aeroplane to get there. It is not inconceivable that you may not be able to fly back home on the same day, forcing you to spend one or more nights in a hotel. Travelling and accommodation costs can increase significantly and will have some impact on the overall price of the breast augmentation.

Comparison breast augmentation Istanbul

Just as it is possible to compare German clinics with each other, it is also possible to compare domestic and foreign providers. Try to make comparisons where the basis is the same. Compare one Breast augmentation with body fat not with breast augmentation with implants. Although both procedures aim to enlarge the breasts and improve body contours, they are two treatment techniques, each with their own costs and applications. It is best to compare prices and treatments that are customised. You can request a price from several clinics. It is also possible to make an appointment for a consultation at the clinics of your choice. Are you at a foreign clinic? Then pay particular attention to the communication options. Are you dependent on a translator to communicate with the doctor treating you or is it possible to speak to the doctor without help? Communication problems can lead to disappointing results and it is often the case that you feel misunderstood in the foreign clinic. This can affect the final outcome of the breast augmentation. The staff at the Acura Clinic in the Netherlands speak German and will be happy to explain all the procedures to you.

Breast Augmentation Istanbul - FAQ

There are a number of frequently asked questions about breast augmentation in Istanbul. Of course, you can also ask us these questions by e-mail or telephone. However, we think it makes sense to answer a number of questions in this way.

Do many women go to Istanbul for breast augmentation?

The number of women undergoing breast augmentation abroad has been increasing for years. Breast augmentation in Istanbul can be performed by inserting implants, liposuction and lipofilling. Last year, due to the pandemic and the unrest in Turkey, a sharp decline can be seen.

Is breast augmentation in Istanbul cheaper?

Yes, cosmetic surgery is usually offered at a lower price in Turkey. The cost of surgery can be offered at a lower price as Turkish hospitals and clinics have lower monthly expenses than those in the Netherlands. However, be careful when choosing a doctor in Turkey. Make sure in advance that someone has proven experience and what type and brand of implants will be used. Bear in mind that travelling and hotel costs are added and the cost differences are often minimal in the end.

Which implants are used in Turkey?

The implants used vary from clinic to clinic. You can ask a cosmetic doctor in advance and get more information about the brand. Not every clinic works with high-quality and long-lasting implants.

Is breast augmentation in Istanbul performed under anaesthetic?

Breast augmentation surgery with implants is performed under anaesthesia. Liposuction and lipofilling are techniques for which a local anaesthetic is sometimes sufficient. In the case of anaesthesia, an overnight stay in the clinic is usually suggested. It is then not possible to go home on the same day.

How long do I have to stay in Turkey?

A breast augmentation in Turkey includes 2 to 4 overnight stays on site. Depending on your physical condition, you can go home 2-3 days after the operation. This is done in close consultation with the cosmetic doctor and the recommendation should be strictly adhered to.

How long does a breast augmentation take?

The duration of the procedure depends on the technique used. Breast augmentation with implants takes an average of 1.5 hours, while the combination of liposuction and lipofilling takes 2 to 4 hours.

Does the doctor speak German?

English and to a lesser extent German are spoken in many clinics. During the consultation, ask whether an interpreter or translator is available so that you can communicate with the doctor and everything is clear.

Will the costs of a breast augmentation in Istanbul be reimbursed by my health insurance?

Cosmetic surgery is often not reimbursed by health insurance companies. Breast augmentation is only reimbursed in conjunction with a medical indication. The lower treatment costs are often a reason to go abroad. High-quality clinics will give you both a discharge letter and a receipt after the operation. The papers will mention any medication and/or dressings and aids that the doctor has prescribed. You can try to claim these costs from your health insurance company. In some situations, part of the costs incurred will be reimbursed.

How long is the waiting list for breast surgery in Istanbul?

Waiting times for cosmetic surgery in Istanbul are often short. On average two to four weeks. You can enquire about this at the clinic.

Who can I contact in the event of side effects or complications?

Depending on the clinic where you underwent the procedure, aftercare will be discussed with you. A number of clinics have a partnership with doctors in Germany or the Netherlands. If you do not feel well after your return or suffer from a high temperature, for example, please contact your family doctor and the clinic treating you immediately.

Is breast augmentation in Istanbul safe?

Under normal hygienic conditions, breast augmentation is a relatively safe procedure. Choose an experienced doctor and inform yourself about the procedure in advance. Breast augmentation with implants is a surgical procedure with the usual risks associated with surgery. Post-operative bleeding, swelling, bruising, poor wound healing, infection and capsular contracture are all side effects that can occur after breast augmentation.

Can I take someone with me to Turkey?

You can discuss this with the clinic. In principle, you are free to take someone from your immediate family with you to Turkey. The additional travelling and accommodation costs are at your own expense.

Will I see immediate results?

After the procedure, your breasts will be swollen and may have bruising. Depending on your physical ability to recover, the results will be visible within a few weeks to several months.

Do the implants have to be replaced later?

Breast implants are long-lasting. However, skin sagging due to physical ageing and significant weight fluctuations will affect your breasts. If the implants become visibly different, you may consider having them replaced. Implants often last a lifetime without needing to be replaced.

Can I have a breast examination after breast augmentation?

It is advisable to state in advance that you have had a breast augmentation. The radiologist and specialist will take this into account when analysing the examination results.

Will the feeling in my breasts and nipples remain the same?

As a rule, the sensitivity of your breasts will not change. Immediately after breast augmentation, the sensitivity of both the breasts and the nipples may vary. The sensation may increase or decrease. The sensation will recover after a few weeks.

Should I take a break from work?

Yes, you will stay in Istanbul for a few days and nights. Depending on the work you do, a doctor will advise you when you can return to work responsibly. Light work can be resumed after a few days. If you are doing physically strenuous work, a recovery period of 2 to 6 weeks may be advisable.

What can I do if the result is not satisfactory?

It can happen that the result does not meet your expectations. Experienced cosmetic surgeons will take the time to discuss your expectations with you before your breast augmentation. You can touch the implants and indicate the extent to which you would like to have your breasts enlarged. If you are not satisfied afterwards, it is possible to have the implants removed. Discuss the options with your doctor.

Can the implants break?

High-quality implants rarely or never break. Leakages also only occur in very rare situations. Do you have the feeling that an implant is broken? Then have it checked directly by a cosmetic dentist.
