Breast Implants Procedure: Everything You Need to Know

How Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

Breast augmentation, also referred to as breast implants, is a highly sought-after cosmetic surgery procedure globally. It involves a surgical process that aims to enhance the shape and size of your breasts. Our experienced surgeons perform this procedure with utmost precision to achieve exceptional, authentic-looking outcomes. A medical expert will place implants under the breast tissue or muscle to increase the size and fullness of the breasts. It is performed under general anesthesia and the surgery generally takes 1-2 hours.

Breast implants can also be used to restore breast volume after mastectomy or other breast surgery. Breast implants come in different sizes, shapes, and types. At Juna Clinic, you are welcome to have a consultation with our surgeon and decide on the surgical technique and area of placement depending on your desired aesthetic outcome. Breast implants come in CCs and come with low, medium, and high volumes between 100-800 CC. Higher CC implants are produced custom-made on request; however, having implants compatible with your body anatomy will be recommended by our surgeons to avoid over-stretching the skin and the possibility of having stretch marks. Our expert plastic surgeons will recommend having the correct type and size of implant that will suit you the best.

What Is The Cost Of Breast Enlargement In Turkey?

Breast augmentation surgery in Turkey can start at £3000, while in the UK it can cost up to £10000-12000. It’s important to note that breast enlargement surgery for cosmetic purposes is not covered by the NHS, except for breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients. In the UK, the cost of breast augmentation surgery can change depending on factors such as the location of the medical facility, the surgeon’s expertise, and the surgical technique used. However, Turkey typically offers prices that are 2-3 times cheaper than those in the UK, US, or Europe despite its surgeons being well-experienced and top-tier. The favorable currency exchange rate also allows medical tourists to get more and better service for their money, and the cost of living in Turkey is lower. Like many other treatments, breast augmentation in Turkey treatment plans often include hotel accommodations, transportation, and aftercare services. It is important to note that the lower prices for breast implants in Turkey do not reflect a lack of quality.

1. Inframammary Incision: Inframammary incision is the most commonly used incision technique in breast implants surgeries. This incision is located in the fold of the skin under the breast. It is usually not visible as incisions are just beneath the breasts.
2. Periareolar/Doughnut Incision: This incision is done around the areola. The incision is usually made on the lower half or circle around the areola where a breast pocket is created above or underneath the muscle. Afterward, an implant is slid through the incision, moved into the breast pocket, and positioned by the plastic surgeon to achieve the best result.

Subglandular placement (Behind the breast tissue):

This is the most common technique of breast implant placement. The implant is placed under the breast tissue but above the chest muscle.

Submuscular placement (Behind the best muscle):

This technique involves placing the implant directly under the chest muscle. Submuscular placement is generally more stable than subglandular placement and may be a better option for women with very thin breast tissue or who are very active.

Dual-Plane Augmentation:

This technique combines the subglandular and submuscular placements as the breast implants are placed directly underneath the breast tissue and partially behind the chest muscles. This technique is generally more preferred by surgeons as it lasts longer.

You will be given a bra to wear for supper after the surgery. In addition, kindly make sure to take them on time if any medications are provided by the surgeon. We recommend not extending your arms for at least a week after the surgery and we recommend avoiding any physical activity or heavy lifting for at least 3 weeks after the surgery.
