About Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation increases the size or changes the shape of the breasts using implants placed either behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle. It's done under general anaesthetic.

Breast implants aren't lifetime devices. Many people need further surgery at some point to replace or remove them.

Who it may suit

Adults who want to change breast size or shape and understand implants may need replacing in future.
Mention any family history of breast cancer in the planner; the surgeon will take it into account.

How long you'll stay in Turkiye

The NHS advises not flying for 5 to 7 days after breast surgery. It's safe to fly with breast implants once you've recovered.

A few months: The breasts settle and look more natural.

Once you're home

Wear your compression or support garment for as long as the surgeon advises.

Keep your wounds clean and dry, and follow the clinic's instructions on showering and dressings.
Arrange for someone to help you at home for the first days after you return.
Call 999 for chest pain, breathlessness, or pain and swelling in one leg. Contact the clinic about increasing pain, redness, discharge or a fever.

Implant rupture, rippling or rotation.
Changes in nipple sensation, and scarring.
A rare type of lymphoma linked to implants (BIA-ALCL), and symptoms some people describe as 'breast implant illness'.
