Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or breast implants, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using silicone or saline implants. Whether you’re seeking to restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or simply wish to improve breast symmetry, breast augmentation provides a personalized solution to enhance your body’s proportions and boost your confidence. This procedure can help achieve natural-looking results that enhance both your appearance and self-esteem.
Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth surgery and recovery. Here's a guide to what you need to do before your breast augmentation:
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.
Eat a nutritious, balanced diet leading up to your procedure to support your healing and immune system.
Set up a comfortable and quiet space at home to rest after your dental procedure. Plan to avoid strenuous activities and take time off work to focus on your recovery.
By following these steps, you’ll be well-prepared for your breast augmentation surgery. If you have any questions or need more information, don’t hesitate to reach out.

The day of your breast augmentation surgery is carefully planned to ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s what to expect:
Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.
A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.
You will meet with your surgeon to go over the details of your procedure. This is your chance to discuss implant size, placement options (under the muscle or over the muscle), incision location, and the final aesthetic goals. Your surgeon will mark the surgical areas on your body to guide the procedure.
You will be given anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Depending on the complexity of the surgery, either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation will be used.
Once you are comfortable and the anesthesia takes effect, your surgeon will make small incisions either under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit, depending on your preference and the type of implants chosen. The silicone or saline implants will then be inserted into the breast tissue. The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.
You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.
Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.
After the surgery is complete, you'll be moved to a recovery area, where you'll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. You’ll begin your recovery process, and our team will provide you with detailed instructions for post-surgical care.
After your breast augmentation procedure, your care and comfort are our top priorities. Here's what to expect during your recovery:
Following surgery, you will stay in the hospital for a short period of observation. Most patients can go home the same day, but if needed, you may stay overnight for monitoring. Our medical team will ensure you’re stable and comfortable before discharge.
Once you're ready, you'll be discharged from the hospital and escorted back to your hotel to begin your rest and recovery. You’ll need to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks, so take time to relax and let your body heal.
After your surgery, you'll have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress. Your surgeon will check the implants, assess any swelling or bruising, and provide additional aftercare instructions.
You will be asked to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support your healing breasts and minimize swelling. This garment helps maintain implant placement while promoting a smoother recovery.
Most patients can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks, but more strenuous activities such as heavy lifting and exercise should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. This ensures that your implants settle properly and reduces the risk of complications.
Scarring is a natural part of the healing process, but your surgeon will place incisions in discreet locations to minimize visibility. Over time, the scars will fade, but they won’t disappear completely. Proper care and following your surgeon’s instructions are key to achieving the best possible results.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves inserting silicone or saline implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. It is used to restore volume lost due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging, or to simply enhance breast size and symmetry.
Good candidates for breast augmentation are healthy women who are looking to improve their breast size and shape. Ideal candidates may want to restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or may wish to improve breast symmetry.
Recovery time typically varies, but most women can resume light activities after 1-2 weeks. Full recovery usually takes 6-8 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within the first few weeks. You’ll need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for at least 4-6 weeks.
Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, but they may need to be replaced over time due to factors such as natural aging, implant wear, or changes in body weight. Regular follow-up visits with your surgeon can help monitor the condition of your implants.
Breast augmentation is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, or bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients find that any post-surgical pain is mild and subsides after a few days.
Yes, you and your surgeon will discuss the ideal implant size based on your body proportions and aesthetic goals. It’s important to choose a size that fits your overall body shape and that you feel comfortable with.
A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.

It is possible to breastfeed after breast reduction, but the ability to do so may depend on the technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to understand the potential impact on breastfeeding.
