Implant augmentation
May add volume and influence breast shape when skin and nipple position are suitable. It does not remove significant excess skin.
Discuss implant augmentation →Explore implant-based breast augmentation with specialist assessment, device-specific information, and coordinated care through VIPmedi’s partner hospitals.
The right plan is based on your chest measurements, existing breast tissue, skin, goals, health, and future plans—not a cup-size promise or a package photograph.
Final suitability, implant choice, incision, placement, and expected result require examination by the treating plastic surgeon. Results and recovery vary.
Illustration explains planning factors only; it does not predict a size, technique, or result.
Implants can add volume and influence shape, but they cannot guarantee a cup size, perfect symmetry, permanent upper fullness, or a lifetime result.
The concern you describe may not be solved by an implant alone. Your surgeon should explain the alternatives and the scars associated with each option.
May add volume and influence breast shape when skin and nipple position are suitable. It does not remove significant excess skin.
Discuss implant augmentation →May address both volume and lower breast or nipple position. It adds lift scars and can increase planning complexity compared with augmentation alone.
Ask about augmentation with lift →Reshapes existing tissue and skin without placing a breast implant. It may improve position but does not create the same added volume as an implant.
Compare lift options →Uses processed fat from another area to add selected volume. The available fat, desired change, tissue quality, and expected reabsorption affect suitability.
Ask about non-implant options →A surgeon may recommend a different approach after examination. Choosing “the largest safe implant” is not a defined or risk-free goal; device dimensions must fit your tissues and long-term priorities.
Ask for the exact manufacturer and model proposed for you. Each characteristic affects the plan; no single combination is best for everyone.
Silicone gel and saline implants behave differently. Availability, feel, rupture detection, and monitoring should be discussed for the exact device.
Round and shaped implants distribute volume differently. Rotation is a particular consideration with shaped devices.
Profile describes projection relative to implant width. The same volume can look different across widths and profiles.
Base width, height, projection, and volume are considered together. A “cc” number alone does not predict cup size or appearance.
Surface type is linked to device behaviour and certain risks. Ask for device-specific information, current regulatory status, and alternatives.
Record the manufacturer, model, catalogue details, and lot or serial information supplied by the hospital after surgery.
The surgeon selects the approach after considering your tissue coverage, anatomy, activity, implant, previous surgery, and priorities.
An implant may be placed above the chest muscle, below it, or using a combined/dual-plane approach. Each option has trade-offs.
Common approaches include the fold under the breast, around part of the areola, or the armpit. Not every route suits every implant or patient.
Ask your surgeon why the recommended approach fits your tissues and implant, what alternatives exist, and how it may affect scars, sensation, movement, imaging, and revision.
The surgeon should review your medical history, medicines, allergies, breast symptoms, family history, previous imaging or biopsies, pregnancy and breastfeeding plans, nicotine use, and anaesthetic risk.
Breast asymmetry, chest-wall shape, skin stretch, nipple position, and existing tissue affect what is achievable. Additional imaging or another specialist opinion may be requested before surgery.
You may never need replacement at a particular anniversary, but the chance of complications and further surgery increases over time. Keep your device information permanently.
Retain the implant card, manufacturer, model, size, surface, lot or serial details, operation note, and discharge summary.
Ask how implant integrity and breast health will be followed, which imaging may be recommended, and who reviews the results at home.
Persistent swelling, a new mass, pain, hardening, shape change, rash, or fluid around an implant needs medical assessment.
Rupture can be obvious or silent depending on the implant. Ask how the proposed device is assessed and what treatment may be needed.
Removal, replacement, pocket correction, scar treatment, or lift may be needed later and can create additional cost and risk.
Rare implant-associated cancers and other reported systemic symptoms should be discussed using information for the exact device.
Ask for the precise surface and model, why it is recommended, its current regulatory status in Turkey, manufacturer patient information, alternatives, and the symptoms that require review.
Photographs, measurements, sizing aids, or computer simulations may support discussion, but none can guarantee the final appearance. Ask the surgeon to explain realistic limits for your anatomy.
Verify the surgeon’s plastic surgery specialist qualifications and professional registration in Turkey. Confirm the hospital, anaesthesia team, postoperative coverage, and who manages concerns after you return home.
VIPmedi works with Acıbadem, Memorial, Medical Park, Medipol, and Medicana. Relevant plastic surgery services are available at selected facilities within these networks.
Acıbadem
Memorial
Medical Park
Medipol
MedicanaThe hospital, branch, affiliated brand, surgeon, implant availability, and procedure are confirmed for your case. Not every branch provides every operation or device. Treating clinicians make the medical recommendations and provide clinical care.
Your surgeon should consider healing, mobility, planned reviews, and blood-clot risk. Keep your itinerary flexible.
Cost varies with the surgeon, hospital, operation, implant, anaesthesia, tests, medical complexity, and required stay. A responsible estimate identifies the exact device and exclusions.
Your surgeon provides the real timetable. Implant placement, lift surgery, your work, and your progress can change restrictions.
Review pain control, wounds, support garment, medicines, movement, warning signs, and the first appointment.
Swelling, tightness, bruising, and discomfort may occur. Follow instructions for sleeping, washing, lifting, and arm movement.
Attend reviews and obtain personal clearance for work, driving, exercise, lifting, swimming, and normal bras.
Breast shape, swelling, sensation, and scars continue to change. Continue breast health and implant monitoring.
Before leaving Turkey, obtain the implant card, operation record, discharge summary, medicine list, emergency contacts, and written follow-up instructions.
Use the Contact Us page to describe your goals, relevant health and breast history, previous surgery, and preferred travel period. Ask how requested photographs or records should be shared securely.
Photographs can support an initial discussion but cannot replace measurements, tissue assessment, breast examination, health review, and informed consent. The final device and operative plan require proper clinical assessment.
No. Cup sizing varies, and appearance depends on starting tissue, chest width, implant dimensions, profile, placement, skin, and healing. Discuss proportions and realistic examples rather than relying on one bra size.
Neither is automatically best. They differ in feel, available designs, rupture behaviour, and monitoring. Availability also varies. Ask why the exact recommended device suits your anatomy and priorities.
Not everyone does. An implant adds volume but may not correct significant skin excess or a lower nipple position. A lift adds scars and different risks. Examination determines whether augmentation alone, lift, both, or another option fits your goals.
They may be placed above the chest muscle, below it, or in a combined/dual-plane pocket. Tissue coverage, implant visibility, movement, discomfort, recovery, and your anatomy influence the decision.
Common incision sites include the fold beneath the breast, around part of the areola, or the armpit. Ask which approach is proposed, why it fits the device and operation, and how the scar may mature.
No implant should be considered a lifetime device. You may need future imaging, removal, replacement, or revision because of rupture, hardening, position change, symptoms, preference, or another concern.
Scar tissue normally forms around an implant. If it tightens excessively, the breast can feel firm, change shape, or become painful. Severity and treatment vary, and further surgery may be required.
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare cancer of the immune system that develops around an implant, with risk linked particularly to certain textured surfaces. Ask about the exact surface, current device information, symptoms, and alternatives.
Some people can breastfeed after surgery, but implants and breast operations can affect milk production or sensation. The incision, operation, existing anatomy, and individual factors matter. No surgeon can guarantee future breastfeeding.
Yes, but always tell the imaging facility that you have implants so appropriate views and techniques can be used. Continue age- and risk-appropriate breast screening and keep your implant details available.
The surgeon determines the stay and flight clearance from your operation and progress. Allow time for consultation, surgery, recovery, and reviews. Discharge does not automatically mean you are fit to fly.
Confirm the surgeon, hospital, anaesthesia, operation, exact implants, tests, garments, medicines, nights, follow-up, travel services, exclusions, and complication or revision arrangements. Contact VIPmedi for an individual enquiry.
Tell us what you would like to change, whether you have had previous breast surgery, and when you hope to travel. VIPmedi can help coordinate the next appropriate hospital enquiry.
