Breast Surgery in Antalya/TURKEY

Restore Balance, Confidence, and Natural Beauty

Breast aesthetics play an important role in both physical harmony and self-confidence. Over time, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can alter breast shape and firmness. At Dr. Serkan İlhan’s Clinic in Antalya, breast surgeries are performed with a personalized approach that balances proportion, natural appearance, and patient expectations.
Dr. İlhan’s expertise ensures safe and harmonious results tailored to each woman’s unique anatomy.

1. Breast Augmentation (Breast Enlargement)

Enhance Volume and Feminine Contour

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and improve shape using silicone implants or, in selected cases, fat transfer. It is ideal for women who want fuller, more proportionate breasts after weight loss, pregnancy, or naturally small breast size.

Who is a good candidate?

• Women with naturally small or asymmetrical breasts
• Those who have lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight changes
• Patients seeking better body proportion and confidence in clothing

How the procedure is performed

• Usually performed under general anesthesia
• Incision is made in one of three possible locations: under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit
• The implant (round or anatomical, smooth or textured) is placed either under the muscle (submuscular) or above the muscle (subglandular) depending on body structure

Recovery

• Mild swelling or tightness may occur for a few days
• Most patients return to work within 5–7 days
• Final breast shape settles within 6–8 weeks

Results

• Natural and proportional enhancement
• Improved body contour and clothing fit
• Long-lasting satisfaction with soft, natural movement

2. Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Restore Firmness and Youthful Position

A breast lift, or mastopexy, corrects sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening breast tissue, repositioning the nipple to a more youthful height. This procedure restores firmness without necessarily changing breast size.

Ideal candidates

• Women with sagging or “deflated” breasts after childbirth or weight loss
• Nipples positioned below the breast crease
• Patients satisfied with their breast volume but seeking improved shape

Surgical steps

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Incisions depend on the degree of sagging: around the areola, vertical, or anchor-shaped
• Excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted

Recovery and results

• Swelling and sensitivity last for about 1–2 weeks
• Patients usually return to normal activity within 7–10 days
• Results are long-lasting, giving a naturally lifted and youthful contour

3. Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Relieve Discomfort and Improve Body Balance

Breast reduction is performed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, creating lighter, firmer, and better-proportioned breasts. Beyond aesthetics, this surgery significantly improves physical comfort and posture.

Candidates for breast reduction

• Women with back, neck, or shoulder pain caused by large breasts
• Skin irritation under the breasts
• Difficulty finding properly fitting clothes or bras
• Emotional or self-image concerns due to breast size

Benefits

• Relief from chronic pain and discomfort
• Improved posture and physical activity
• More proportionate, balanced body appearance

Recovery

• Most patients resume daily activities after 7–10 days
• Final shape stabilizes over several months
• Scars fade significantly with time

4. Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy)

Rejuvenate and Enhance at the Same Time

For women who experience both loss of volume and sagging, combining a lift with implant augmentation offers the best of both worlds — lifted, fuller, and natural-looking breasts in one procedure.

Advantages

• Restores both shape and volume simultaneously
• Enhances upper pole fullness
• Achieves youthful, proportional, and feminine results

Recovery and results

• Similar to standalone breast augmentation
• Compression bra is recommended for 4–6 weeks
• Final results are seen after a few months, with long-lasting improvement

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be visible scars?
Scars depend on the type of surgery and incision, but Dr. İlhan uses meticulous techniques to ensure they fade over time and are easily concealed.

Can breast surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Breast surgeries are often combined with tummy tuck or liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover for overall body rejuvenation.

When can I return to normal activities?
Light activities after one week; full recovery takes 4–6 weeks depending on the procedure.
