Breast reconstruction in Istanbul

How breast reconstruction works
Four stages — from the initial assessment to the follow-up check. You’ll know in advance how the preparation, surgery, and recovery unfold.
- 1
Preliminary assessment by the doctor
Send photos and describe the changes you’d like. The doctor will assess your anatomy and the possible scope of correction. An online consultation with the doctor is also available.
- 2
Consultation and preparation in Istanbul
Before surgery, you’ll have an in-person consultation with the doctor and the necessary preoperative workup — its scope depends on the type of surgery and anesthesia.
Preparation and tests
Every reconstruction begins with a detailed consultation: the doctor reviews the history of any previous surgery or treatment, assesses the condition of the tissues, and discusses with you exactly what you would like to change. If you still have your medical records and details of any implants placed earlier, bring them with you.
Before surgery, you’ll have lab tests and a consultation with the anesthesiologist. If you take any medications or have chronic conditions, please let us know in advance.

Surgery
The extent and technique of the reconstruction are determined individually — based on the previous surgery, the condition of the tissues, and the result you are hoping for. The surgery takes about 2 hours — approximately, depending on the scope of the surgery and individual factors. The doctor will discuss the type of anesthesia with you beforehand. After surgery, the patient stays overnight at the clinic under medical supervision.
During the surgery
Reconstruction is most often performed for patients who have previously had a breast augmentation or reduction and were not happy with the result of the first operation. Reconstruction may also be needed after breast cancer treatment.
A surgical plan is drawn up only after an in-person examination: the starting point is different in every case.

Recovery
After discharge, recovery continues at the hotel, and the assistants stay in touch with you. A special bra is worn for 6 weeks; the doctor performs a follow-up check before your departure.

Risks and contraindicationsPatient safety is the priority at every stage. Before the procedure, the doctor assesses the patient’s health.
Risks
Like any surgical procedure, breast reconstruction carries possible risks, including bleeding, infection, swelling, delayed healing, changes in sensation, asymmetry, and variations in how scars form. Repeat operations call for especially careful assessment of the tissues. In some cases an additional correction may be needed. The possible risks are discussed with the patient before surgery.
Contraindications
Acute illnesses and inflammatory conditions, blood-clotting disorders, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain chronic conditions may be grounds for postponing surgery or arranging further evaluation. After cancer treatment, the timing and feasibility of reconstruction are determined individually. The decision on whether surgery can proceed is made by the doctors after assessing the patient’s health.

Questions and answers
Ask a question →How much does the surgery cost?
The cost is calculated individually. The doctor provides it after reviewing your photos. Send them on WhatsApp — you’ll receive a plan and the full price.
Who is reconstruction suitable for?
Patients who have previously had breast augmentation or reduction and are unhappy with the result, as well as those who have undergone breast cancer treatment. The doctor assesses whether surgery is possible during the consultation.
Will the scars be visible?
This depends on your previous surgeries and the chosen technique. The doctor will discuss the placement of incisions and the expected appearance of scars during the consultation.
When can I return to work and sports?
Timing is individual and depends on how your recovery goes. The doctor will give you personal recommendations at the follow-up check and will stay in touch with you after you return home.
How many days do I need to be in Istanbul?
For surgeries under general anesthesia we recommend 7–8 days in Istanbul — from arrival to the follow-up check; under local anesthesia, 2–3 days. The coordinator will agree exact dates with you after the doctor’s preliminary assessment.
When can I fly home?
After the follow-up check on day 7. The doctor clears you to go home once he’s confident your recovery is on track.
