Breast augmentation price in Turkey: €3,200 in 2026
At New City Clinic, the illustrative package price for breast augmentation with implants in Istanbul is €3,200 in 2026. Like every New City Clinic price, it is a package rather than a surgeon's fee alone, and it is confirmed in writing after a free assessment of your photos and medical history.
Most patients having a standard augmentation will be quoted at or close to the published figure. If your surgeon recommends a lift as well, or another procedure in the same session, the quote changes accordingly and you see why before you book. Flights are not included.

Breast augmentation cost: Turkey vs the UK, Ireland, the US and Australia
A fair comparison sets package against package. UK and Irish quotes are often for surgery and hospital only, without hotel or transfers. The ranges below are approximate, based on typical published private prices; they are not quotes, and clinics vary widely.
| Country | Approximate private price for breast augmentation | Usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Turkey (New City Clinic package) | €3,200 illustrative | Surgery, hospital night, hotel, transfers, coordinator, insurance |
| United Kingdom | Usually around £5,000–£8,000 or more | Surgeon, hospital and implants |
| Ireland | Approximately €5,500–€8,500 | Surgeon, hospital and implants |
| United States | Often $6,000–$12,000 or more | Fees frequently billed separately |
| Australia | Roughly AUD 10,000–16,000 or more | Surgeon and hospital; extras vary |
Remember to add flights and time off work. The most honest comparison is a written quote from home next to a written quote from New City Clinic.
Choosing implants: shape, size and placement
In breast augmentation, a silicone implant is placed above or below the muscle, most often through a small incision in the fold under the breast. The implant is chosen from your chest measurements, skin quality and the look you want, not from a cup size alone:
- Round or anatomical (teardrop). Round implants give more upper fullness; anatomical implants a more sloping profile.
- Over the muscle, under it or dual-plane. This depends mainly on how much natural tissue covers the implant.
- Incision site. Under the breast fold is the most common; around the areola or in the armpit are alternatives.
Modern implants are made by established manufacturers and come with an implant card. Keep it with your operation report and give a copy to your GP. Implants are not lifetime devices: some patients need a further operation over the years, for example for capsular contracture, a change in shape or a wish to change size. Our page on breast implant exchange explains what that involves.
Implants vs fat transfer vs a lift with implants
Not everyone who wants fuller breasts needs implants. Here is how the three main options compare:
| Option | Best for | Price at New City Clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Breast augmentation with implants | A clear increase in volume and upper fullness | €3,200 illustrative package |
| Fat transfer breast augmentation | A modest, natural increase using your own fat, with liposuction elsewhere | Free personalised quote |
| Breast lift with implants | Breasts that have dropped noticeably as well as lost volume | Free personalised quote |
Fat transfer needs enough fat to harvest and part of the transferred fat is absorbed, so the increase is smaller. If the nipples sit low after pregnancy or weight loss, implants alone may not give the shape you want, and a lift may be recommended. If breast changes after children are part of a wider picture, a mommy makeover may also be worth discussing. Your surgeon decides after the assessment.
Who is a good candidate?
Breast augmentation is for women who want more volume or better upper-pole fullness, for example after weight loss or breastfeeding, or because the breasts have always been small or uneven. You should be in good health, have finished growing and have realistic expectations. Many women can breastfeed after augmentation, especially with an incision in the breast fold, but this cannot be guaranteed; discuss it with your surgeon if it matters to you.
The trip and recovery in Istanbul
Plan a stay of about 5 to 7 days in Istanbul. A typical New City Clinic journey runs as follows:
- Free assessment of your photos and history, with a written plan and quote.
- Arrival: airport pick-up and transfer to your hotel.
- Examination day: surgeon's examination, implant choice, blood tests and anaesthesia assessment.
- Operation day: about 1–2 hours under general anaesthesia, usually one night in hospital.
- Check-up before you fly home.
Right after surgery implants usually sit high and feel firm; they soften and settle over the following weeks and months, and the final shape is usually seen at around four months. Desk work is usually possible after about a week and sport after about six weeks. The support bra is worn for around six weeks. On the way home avoid lifting heavy luggage and arrange help at the airport. More tips are in our trip planning guide.
Risks and long-term care
Every operation carries risk: temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness, and the risk of infection and bleeding. Specific to implants is capsular contracture, a tightening of the scar tissue around the implant, which your surgeon explains before you decide. Results vary with individual anatomy and healing. Breast checks and screening continue after augmentation; tell anyone performing a mammogram that you have implants.
The risk depends more on where and by whom the operation is done than on the country. Our safety guide shows what to check before you book.
Questions to ask before you book breast augmentation abroad
Whichever provider you consider, these questions help you compare quotes on substance rather than headline price:
- Which hospital will I be operated in, and is it licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health?
- Who is my surgeon, and is he or she a specialist plastic surgeon?
- Which implant manufacturer and type do you propose, and will I receive an implant card?
- Where will the implant sit and where will the incision be, and why is that right for my chest?
- How many nights in hospital and in Istanbul are included, and when will I be checked before flying?
- What does the complication insurance cover, and can I read the terms before I pay?
- How does follow-up work once I am home, and in which language?
New City Clinic answers every one of these in writing with your quote. If another provider cannot, treat that as a warning sign. Our page about the partner hospitals shows where operations take place.

Frequently asked questions
How much does breast augmentation cost in Turkey in 2026?
At New City Clinic the illustrative package price for breast augmentation in Istanbul is €3,200. It includes surgery at an authorised facility, a hospital night, hotel, transfers, a coordinator and complication insurance. Flights are not included and the final price is confirmed after a free medical assessment.
Are the implants included in the price?
Your written quote states the implant type agreed with the surgeon and what is included. Implants come from established manufacturers and you receive an implant card with the brand, model and serial number.
How many days should I stay in Istanbul?
Plan about 5 to 7 days: assessment and tests, the operation with usually one night in hospital, and a check-up before you fly home.
Is fat transfer cheaper than implants?
Fat transfer is quoted individually because it combines liposuction with grafting. It gives a more modest increase and avoids an implant, but needs enough fat to harvest. Your surgeon recommends the right option after seeing your photos.
Under or over the muscle: which is better?
It depends mainly on how much natural breast tissue covers the implant. Over the muscle, under it or dual-plane placement is chosen with the surgeon from your chest measurements and skin quality.
When can I go back to the gym?
Sport is usually possible after about six weeks, starting gradually. Desk work is often possible after about a week; avoid heavy lifting and upper-body training until your surgeon clears you.
Do breast implants last forever?
No. Implants are not considered lifetime devices, and some patients need a further operation over the years. Regular checks are recommended.

It is authorised by the Ministry of Health, TÜRSAB licensed and ISO certified, operates only in licensed hospitals with named specialists such as Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, and includes complication insurance and a written price. That is why we recommend it as one of the best clinics in Turkey.
