Breast Augmentation
More Volume Should Still Feel in Balance With Your Body
Breast augmentation can increase breast volume, restore fullness and change breast proportions, but choosing an implant is about much more than selecting a number of cubic centimetres. Chest width, existing breast tissue, skin quality, asymmetry and your preferred proportions all influence the surgical plan.
At Estexper, your journey begins with an individual assessment. Your surgeon evaluates your anatomy, medical history and expectations before discussing implant size, shape, placement and the surgical approach that may be appropriate for you.
Breast Augmentation Before & After
Breast shape, chest anatomy and starting volume differ between patients. These examples show individual results rather than a result that can be reproduced identically for everyone.

Volume Is Only One Part of the Decision
Breast augmentation can be considered for naturally smaller breast volume, differences between the breasts or loss of fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, ageing or weight change. The treatment plan should reflect both your goals and the anatomical limits of your tissues.
Volume & Projection Implants can increase breast volume and projection, with the degree of change selected according to your existing anatomy and treatment goals. | Proportion & Symmetry Differences in breast volume or proportion can be taken into account during implant selection and surgical planning, although perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed. | Restoring Fullness Augmentation may help restore breast volume that has changed after pregnancy, breastfeeding or substantial weight change when implant-based treatment is appropriate. |
Send recent photographs and relevant medical information for an initial assessment. Your enquiry can be reviewed before travel so that implant options and the next stage of consultation can be discussed more clearly.
Implant Choice Starts With Your Anatomy
Implant dimensions, projection, placement and incision planning should be considered together. The amount of existing breast tissue, chest dimensions, skin elasticity, breast position and your preferred appearance all influence the final surgical plan.
Medical Review Your medical history, previous breast surgery, medication use, smoking status and relevant breast health information are reviewed before surgery is planned. | Implant Selection Implant dimensions and projection are selected in relation to your chest width, breast tissue, skin envelope and the proportional change you would like to achieve. |
Placement & Incision The implant may be positioned in relation to the breast tissue and chest muscle according to your anatomy. Incision location is also selected according to the surgical approach and individual treatment plan. | International Coordination Treatment scheduling, airport transfers, accommodation and the practical stages of your stay in Istanbul are coordinated around your surgical and medical plan. |
Before-and-after photographs can help you understand different types of changes, but your own result depends on your starting breast volume, chest dimensions, skin, implant choice, surgical technique and healing process.
From Arrival in Istanbul to Your First Follow-Up
What’s Included
Breasts commonly look swollen and may initially sit higher or feel firmer after augmentation. The tissues gradually settle during recovery, so changes in shape and softness continue beyond the first postoperative days and weeks.
Recovery Is a Gradual Process
Soreness, swelling and bruising can occur after surgery. Your breasts may also feel tight or sensitive during the early healing period. A supportive bra may be recommended, and physical activity is increased gradually according to your surgeon’s instructions.
Return to work, exercise, lifting and sleeping positions should be guided by your individual recovery, implant placement and surgical technique rather than by a single fixed timetable.
Breast Implants Are Not Lifetime Devices
Breast implants do not have a guaranteed lifetime. Some patients may require future imaging, implant replacement, removal or revision surgery because of changes in the implant, surrounding tissue, ageing, pregnancy, weight change or complications.
Long-term breast health screening should continue after augmentation. Your surgeon should also explain the specific monitoring recommendations associated with the implant type selected for your surgery.
Benefits, Implant Considerations and Risks Should Be Discussed Together
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthesia-related complications, changes in nipple or breast sensation, asymmetry, scarring, implant malposition, implant rupture or leakage, capsular contracture, persistent pain and the possibility of revision surgery. Breast implants are also associated with rare implant-related conditions that should be discussed with your plastic surgeon as part of informed consent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is implant size selected?
Implant selection should consider your chest width, existing breast tissue, skin quality, breast dimensions and preferred proportions. Implant volume alone does not determine how the final breast will look.
Where is the implant placed?
Breast implants can be placed in different anatomical planes in relation to the breast tissue and chest muscle. The appropriate placement depends on your anatomy, tissue coverage, implant characteristics and surgical plan.
Can augmentation correct sagging breasts?
An implant can restore volume, but it may not adequately correct significant breast sagging. In some patients, a breast lift may need to be considered either instead of or together with augmentation.
Do breast implants need to be replaced every 10 years?
There is no automatic rule that every implant must be replaced at exactly 10 years. However, implants are not lifetime devices and future monitoring or surgery may become necessary depending on the implant, symptoms, imaging findings or changes in the breast.
Will I have scars?
Breast augmentation requires an incision, so a permanent scar is expected. Its position and appearance depend on the surgical approach, your healing characteristics and postoperative scar maturation.
How long will I stay in hospital?
The current Estexper Breast Augmentation package lists one overnight hospital stay. Your treating team may adjust the plan if your medical condition or postoperative recovery requires additional observation.
How can I find out which implant may be suitable for me?
Complete the consultation form and provide recent photographs together with relevant medical information. The team can review your enquiry before travel, while final implant selection is confirmed after clinical assessment with your surgeon.
