Mammoplasty

The price varies depending on the chosen technique (implant, lift, or both), the implant type/size, whether the surgery is primary or revision, the type of anesthesia, and the clinic. An exact price can only be given after an in-person consultation and examination — you can book a free consultation for this.

Since the operation is performed under general anesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure. In the following days there may be mild to moderate pain and a feeling of tightness, which is easily managed with pain medication prescribed by the doctor.

Office work that does not require physical exertion can usually be resumed within 1-2 weeks. For physically demanding work or roles requiring arm exertion, an additional 4-6 weeks of waiting is recommended.

The two most widely used types are silicone gel implants and saline implants. Silicone gel implants have a more natural feel and are more widely used. Implant surface (smooth or textured) and profile (high, moderate, wide) are also selected. The most suitable type is determined during consultation with the surgeon, based on your breast anatomy and expectations.

Most patients can continue breastfeeding after implant placement, since the implant is usually placed beneath the mammary gland tissue or beneath the chest muscle, not within it. Even so, depending on incision location and individual anatomy, there is a possibility of change in breastfeeding ability — this must always be discussed with the surgeon before a planned pregnancy.

A breast lift raises sagging breasts and corrects their shape without changing volume. Augmentation increases volume via an implant. In many patients, both goals — correcting sagging and increasing volume — are combined in a single operation, depending on individual anatomy.

The result of implant-based augmentation is generally considered long-lasting, but implants are not lifelong — replacement is sometimes recommended after 10-15 years. The result of a lift can also be affected over time by gravity, pregnancy, or weight changes.

Yes, scars of varying size remain depending on incision location (around the nipple, in the breast folds, or in the armpit). The scar fades over time but does not fully disappear. The surgeon chooses the incision location based on the extent of the planned change so that the scar is as inconspicuous as possible.

Medically, a specific season is not a requirement; the operation is performed safely year-round. Some patients prefer the cooler months for comfortable wear of the support garment, while others prefer the summer months based on their work/vacation schedule.

No. Mammoplasty is breast augmentation/reduction/lift surgery performed on women. Gynecomastia is the surgical reduction of enlarged breast tissue in men — it requires a different anatomical and surgical approach.

Yes, implant placement or a lift does not replace regular mammography and self-examination. Age-appropriate screening should be continued, and the radiologist must be informed of the implant so that imaging is performed with the appropriate technique.

Capsular contracture is a condition in which the tissue that forms around the implant hardens, sometimes causing a sensation of firmness. Proper surgical technique, correct post-operative care, and following the doctor's recommendations help reduce the risk, though it cannot be fully eliminated — in rare cases it may require a repeat operation.
