Breast Augmentation Istanbul
What is Breast Augmentation Istanbul?
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.
What Breast Augmentation Istanbul Can Achieve
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.
Choosing the Right Implant for Breast Augmentation Istanbul
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.
