Breast implant replacement removes your existing implants and replaces them with new ones to better meet your aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking for a change in size, shape, or type of implant, this surgery restores the contours of your breasts and improves overall body proportions. It’s also ideal for addressing complications like implant rupture or capsular contracture.
Preparation is key for a smooth surgery and recovery. Here’s what you should do in the weeks leading up to your breast implant replacement:
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.

Here’s what to expect on the day of your breast implant replacement procedure:
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.
ou will meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals, including your preferred size, type (saline, silicone, or gummy bear implants), and shape. Your surgeon will mark the areas where the incisions will be made and confirm the surgical plan.
You will be given anesthesia to keep you comfortable during surgery. General anesthesia is typically used for this procedure.
The surgeon will remove the existing implants and replace them with new ones. Incisions are typically made under the breast or around the areola, depending on your preferences and the surgical technique. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.
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.
Once completed, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you will be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. You’ll receive post-operative care instructions and pain management options.
Recovery after breast implant replacement is essential to achieving the best results. Here’s what to expect:
After surgery, you will be monitored for a short period at the hospital. Most patients can go home the same day, but an overnight stay may be recommended if needed.
Once you’re stable, you’ll be discharged and transferred back to your hotel. You’ll need to rest and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities.
You’ll have follow-up visits with your surgeon to check on your recovery and ensure the implants are settling properly. Your surgeon will also monitor for any complications.
A surgical bra or compression garment will be recommended to support your breasts during the healing process. This helps reduce swelling and ensures your implants settle in place.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks after surgery. Light activities can be resumed after 1-2 weeks, but be sure to follow your surgeon’s advice on when it's safe to return to normal activities.
While scarring is inevitable, your surgeon will place the incisions in discreet areas (such as under the breast or around the areola) to minimize visibility. Scars will fade over time, but they may not disappear completely.
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 implant replacement involves removing old implants and replacing them with new ones. This procedure can be done to adjust the size, shape, or type of implant, or to address issues with current implants, such as rupture or capsular contracture.
Ideal candidates are women who want to update the size or shape of their breast implants, or those experiencing complications with their current implants. It’s also suitable for women who are dissatisfied with the results of previous surgeries.
Recovery time varies, but most women can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks, with final results visible after the swelling subsides and the implants settle into position.
Yes, scarring is a part of the healing process. However, your surgeon will place incisions in discreet areas (under the breast or around the areola) to minimize visible scarring. The scars will fade over time, but they may not completely disappear.
Breast implant replacement is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, or bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and subsiding after a few days.
The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the amount of work required.
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.
