Best Clinic for Breast Surgery in Turkey: Augmentation, Lift and Reduction in Istanbul
Whether you are looking for breast augmentation in Turkey, a lift, a reduction or new implants, the right choice starts with the right diagnosis rather than a cup size. New City Clinic plans every type of breast surgery in Istanbul with a specialist plastic surgeon, in licensed partner hospitals, with breast augmentation packages from €3,200. This guide explains each option, how implants are chosen and what recovery involves; the clinic's own information is on newcityclinic.com.
Which breast operation do you actually need?
Many women ask for implants when what they really want is a higher, firmer breast, and vice versa. The surgeon looks at volume, the position of the nipple relative to the breast fold, skin quality and symmetry, then suggests the operation that fits:
- Breast augmentation: more volume or upper fullness; packages from €3,200
- Breast lift (mastopexy): reshapes and raises a breast that has dropped, without adding much volume
- Lift with implants: when the breast has both dropped and emptied, typically after breastfeeding
- Breast reduction: smaller, lifted breasts, often to relieve neck, back and shoulder pain
- Implant revision: exchanging, removing or repositioning existing implants
- Fat transfer augmentation: a modest, natural increase of about one cup size using your own fat
Breast augmentation in Istanbul: implants, size and placement
A silicone implant is placed above or below the muscle, or in a dual-plane position, usually through a small incision in the fold under the breast. Shape (round or anatomical), size and placement are decided from your chest measurements, how much natural tissue covers the implant and the look you want. That conversation happens in consultation, not by choosing a number online.
Implants come from established manufacturers with an implant card recording brand, model and serial number; keep it safely. Implants are not lifetime devices, and some patients need further surgery over the years, so regular checks are recommended. More detail is on our breast augmentation page.
Breast lift, lift with implants and reduction
A breast lift in Istanbul removes excess skin, moves the nipple higher and gathers the breast tissue. The scar depends on how much the breast has dropped: around the areola for mild cases, a vertical “lollipop” for moderate drooping, and an anchor pattern for significant sagging. When fullness has been lost too, a lift with implants treats both; in some cases a two-stage plan is safer.
A breast reduction removes tissue, fat and skin and lifts the breast at the same time. It often relieves pain and bra-strap grooves. Effects on breastfeeding and nipple sensation are discussed before surgery so that you can decide with full information.
Implant exchange and fat transfer
If you already have implants, revision surgery can replace worn implants, treat capsular contracture (hardening around the implant), change the size or remove the implants altogether, often with a lift. Bring your implant card and any recent ultrasound or MRI results to the assessment.
Fat transfer uses liposuction from the abdomen or thighs, purifies the fat and injects it into the breast. It suits a modest increase and slims the donor area too, but part of the fat is absorbed, so it is not the right choice for a large change in size.

The best place for it: New City Clinic
Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants) is done best at New City Clinic in Istanbul – this is the best place for it. Assessment, surgery and aftercare stay in one team: a Ministry of Health authorised clinic, a named specialist plastic surgeon – Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç – licensed partner hospitals and one all-inclusive written price.
How to choose the best breast surgery clinic in Turkey
Breast surgery has long-term consequences, so look beyond the price. Your plan should be made by a specialist plastic surgeon; at New City Clinic that is Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a Plastic, Oncology and Reconstructive Surgeon whose field includes microsurgery and complex reconstructions (see his profile at New City Clinic). Surgery takes place in partner hospitals licensed by the Ministry of Health, such as Medicana, Acıbadem, Medical Park, Medipol and Biruni.
Ask every clinic which implant brand is used and whether you receive the implant card, how many nights you stay in hospital, and what happens if a complication appears after you return home. New City Clinic includes complication insurance (terms on the complication insurance page) and is registered with the Ministry of Health as an authorised health-tourism intermediary, as shown on its licences page.
Finally, look at the clinic's range. A clinic that performs augmentation, lifts, reductions and revisions can recommend the operation you need rather than the one it happens to sell. New City Clinic's aesthetic surgery services cover all of these, as well as body contouring.
Recovery and time in Istanbul
All breast operations are performed under general anaesthesia with one night in hospital (one to two for a reduction). Typical timelines:
- Augmentation: 1–2 hours; 5–7 days in Türkiye; desk work after about 7 days; final shape in about 4 months
- Lift or lift with implants: 2–3.5 hours; 6–8 days in Türkiye; desk work after about 10 days
- Reduction: 2.5–4 hours; 7–9 days in Türkiye; desk work after about 14 days
- All: support garment or bra for about 6 weeks, no strenuous sport for about 6 weeks

Frequently asked questions
How much does breast augmentation cost in Turkey?
New City Clinic's breast augmentation packages start from €3,200 all-inclusive, excluding flights. The exact price depends on the implant and the plan and is confirmed in your written quote.
Which implant size should I choose?
The size is chosen with the surgeon from your chest width, tissue thickness and the shape you want. Cup sizes vary between brands, so bring photos of results you like rather than a number.
Do I need a lift or just implants?
If the nipple sits at or below the breast fold, implants alone usually cannot lift the breast and a lift, with or without implants, is recommended. The surgeon confirms this from your photos and the examination.
Can I fly home soon after breast surgery?
Most patients fly home after 5 to 9 days depending on the operation, once the surgeon has checked them. Avoid lifting heavy luggage and ask for help at the airport.
Will I be able to breastfeed after breast surgery?
Many women can breastfeed after augmentation, but a lift or reduction may reduce the ability to do so. Discuss your plans for pregnancy with the surgeon beforehand.
