Overview

What is Breast Augmentation Istanbul?

Breast augmentation Istanbul — also known as breast implant surgery or augmentation mammoplasty — is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures worldwide. At Estelux Istanbul, it is performed exclusively by Op. Dr. Uğurlu, with a personalised approach that prioritises natural proportion over dramatic size change.

Breast augmentation Istanbul uses high-quality, CE-approved silicone implants to increase breast volume, restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and improve natural symmetry. Every aspect of the procedure — implant type, size, profile, placement and incision location — is agreed upon during your personalised consultation before any commitment is made.

According to ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), breast augmentation is consistently the most performed cosmetic surgical procedure worldwide. Istanbul has emerged as one of the world's leading destinations for this procedure — combining board-certified surgical expertise with significantly lower costs than UK, USA or Western European alternatives.

At Estelux Istanbul, breast augmentation is never a rushed, high-volume procedure. Op. Dr. Uğurlu operates on one patient per day — giving every patient his complete attention, from the pre-operative consultation through to the final post-operative check.

Benefits

What Breast Augmentation Istanbul Can Achieve

Every patient's goals are different. Breast augmentation Istanbul at Estelux is tailored to what you specifically want to achieve — not a standard result applied to every patient.

Increased Volume & Size

Natural-looking volume enhancement — from subtle to significant, depending on your anatomy, existing tissue and personal goals. Op. Dr. Uğurlu recommends implant sizes that suit your frame.

Restored Fullness After Pregnancy

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often reduce breast volume and alter shape. Breast augmentation Istanbul restores the fullness and projection that was present before — frequently combined with a breast lift for complete restoration.

Improved Symmetry

Natural breast asymmetry is extremely common. Different implant sizes can be used in each breast to create a balanced, even appearance — something many patients have lived with for years.

Enhanced Proportion & Silhouette

For patients who feel their breast size is disproportionate to their frame — breast augmentation Istanbul creates the balance and body confidence that has been missing.

Long-Lasting Results

Modern CE-approved silicone implants are designed to last 10–20+ years. Results are permanent — no routine replacement is required unless you wish to change size or type in the future.

+

Combinable with Breast Lift

Breast augmentation is frequently combined with mastopexy (breast lift) in a single procedure — for patients who want both increased volume and a more elevated, youthful profile.

Implant Options

Choosing the Right Implant for Breast Augmentation Istanbul

Implant selection is one of the most important decisions in breast augmentation Istanbul — and it is made collaboratively, based on your anatomy, existing breast tissue, body frame and aesthetic goals. Op. Dr. Uğurlu guides every patient through this process thoroughly during consultation.

Round Implants

The most commonly selected implant type. Provides fullness in both upper and lower pole — ideal for patients seeking a fuller, rounder appearance with visible cleavage enhancement. Looks natural in all positions.

Anatomical (Teardrop) Implants

Shaped to closely mimic the natural breast contour — more fullness in the lower pole, tapering gradually towards the upper pole. Creates a highly natural result. Ideal for patients wanting minimal aesthetic change with maximum naturalness.

Smooth vs Textured Surface

Smooth implants move naturally within the pocket — most commonly used. Textured implants adhere to surrounding tissue — used in specific anatomical situations. Op. Dr. Uğurlu will recommend the most appropriate surface for your case.

Implant Profile (Projection)

Low, moderate, high or extra-high profile implants — the profile determines how far the implant projects forward from the chest wall. Higher profiles suit narrower chests; lower profiles suit broader frames.

Placement: Over vs Under Muscle

Subglandular (over muscle) placement: shorter recovery, natural movement. Submuscular (under muscle) placement: lower capsular contracture risk, more natural appearance in slim patients. Discussed and agreed during consultation.

Incision Location

Inframammary (breast fold), periareolar (around the nipple) or transaxillary (armpit) approaches — each with different scar location and visibility. Op. Dr. Uğurlu will recommend the most appropriate incision for your anatomy.

FAQ

Breast Augmentation Istanbul: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does breast augmentation Istanbul cost compared to the UK?
UK private breast augmentation typically costs £5,500–£9,000 for surgery alone — without hotel, transfers or aftercare. Breast augmentation Istanbul at Estelux is significantly less and includes hotel accommodation, VIP airport transfers, pre-operative tests, 1 night hospital stay, compression bra, aftercare kit and 12 months of remote follow-up. Most UK patients save 60–70% compared to home-country pricing.
How long do breast implants last?
Modern CE-approved silicone implants are designed to last 10–20+ years. They do not require routine replacement — only if a complication occurs or you wish to change size or type in the future. Op. Dr. Uğurlu uses only high-quality implants from established, certified manufacturers.
Will breast implants feel natural?
Modern cohesive silicone gel implants closely mimic the feel and movement of natural breast tissue. When correctly sized and placed by an experienced surgeon, results feel natural to both the patient and others. Op. Dr. Uğurlu's approach consistently prioritises natural proportion over dramatic size change.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for breast augmentation?
Most breast augmentation Istanbul patients stay 5–7 days total — surgery day, 1 night in hospital, 4–5 nights hotel recovery, and a pre-departure check with Op. Dr. Uğurlu before flying home.
Can I combine breast augmentation with a breast lift?
Yes — breast augmentation and mastopexy (breast lift) are frequently combined in a single procedure for patients who want both increased volume and a more elevated profile. This is particularly common for patients after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Op. Dr. Uğurlu will advise the best approach for your goals during consultation.
Is breast augmentation Istanbul safe?
Yes — when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon at an accredited medical facility. Op. Dr. Uğurlu is board-certified with 15+ years of specialist experience and 3,000+ surgical procedures. All breast augmentation Istanbul procedures at Estelux are performed in fully licensed, ISO 9001 certified medical facilities in Istanbul.
What is the difference between breast augmentation and breast implants?
Breast augmentation Istanbul and breast implant surgery are the same procedure — breast augmentation is the clinical term, while "breast implants" refers to the implants used during the procedure. Both terms describe silicone implant placement to increase breast volume and improve shape.
Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures during the same trip?
Yes — breast augmentation Istanbul can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction or as part of a mommy makeover. Combining procedures reduces total anaesthesia exposure and overall cost compared to separate trips. Op. Dr. Uğurlu will advise on the safest combination for your situation.
What about silicone breast implants — are they safe?
Yes — modern cohesive silicone gel implants have an excellent safety record and are approved by regulatory bodies including the CE marking in Europe. The NHS notes that silicone implants are considered safe for most healthy patients when implanted by a qualified surgeon. Op. Dr. Uğurlu uses only CE-approved implants from established manufacturers.
