Breast Augmentation in Istanbul
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or, in selected cases, your own fat. In Istanbul the procedure takes one to two hours under general anaesthetic, typically with one hospital night, and most patients fly home after 7 nights.
Like every Maison procedure, it is arranged end to end around one written plan: your photo assessment is reviewed by the clinical team, your quote names the treating specialist with their credentials and itemizes the full price — procedure, hospital, transfers, hotel and aftercare — and your itinerary is built backwards from the medical fly-home clearance rather than an airline’s calendar. In Istanbul, a coordinator and translator accompany every appointment, and your companion’s logistics are planned alongside your own.
Suitability is decided before anything is booked, and honestly: if this procedure will not deliver what you are hoping for — or a smaller treatment would serve you better — the assessment says so plainly, free, and that is the end of any selling. The figures below are typical published ranges to plan around; your own timings are confirmed in writing in your treatment plan.

Common questions
Implants or fat transfer?
Implants give predictable volume; fat transfer offers a subtler increase using your own tissue. Suitability depends on your anatomy and goals — both options are discussed honestly at assessment.
Do implants need replacing?
Modern implants are not lifetime devices but do not require routine replacement on a fixed schedule. Ongoing checks are covered in your aftercare guidance.
When can I exercise again?
Walking immediately; lower-body training around 2–3 weeks; chest and heavy upper-body training typically after 6 weeks.
Educational content, not medical advice — your plan is set in personal consultation with the treating clinician.
