Surgical technique
Dual-plane placement combines the soft upper-pole coverage of sub-muscular position with the natural drape of sub-glandular. Best of both — minimal rippling, natural movement.
We use only ergonomic, high-cohesive premium implants with lifetime warranty. Shape (round vs anatomical), profile, and volume are selected at consultation using 3D imaging.
When ptosis (sagging) is present, augmentation is combined with mastopexy (lift) for optimal projection and shape.
FAQ

Results are long-lasting and natural. Ageing continues, but the structural improvements achieved are designed to age with you gracefully.
Pre-op tests, surgery, hospital stay, medications, garments, VIP airport transfers, luxury hotel accommodation, translator support and follow-up care via WhatsApp with Dr. Barutcu.
Plan for 7-10 days in Istanbul. Day 1 is your face-to-face consultation and pre-operative tests, surgery follows on day 2, your hospital stay is 1 night, and the remaining days cover dressing changes, drain removal and a final check with Dr. Barutcu before you fly home.
Light activity day 3 · Gym 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising settle over the first 2-3 weeks; most patients feel socially presentable within 10-14 days and return to full activity gradually under Dr. Barutcu's guidance.
Most patients are cleared to fly 7-10 days after surgery, once drains are removed and the wounds are healing well. On the flight you wear your compression garment, walk every hour and stay well hydrated to reduce clot risk.
It is not mandatory - our team handles airport transfers, hospital admission, translation and hotel check-in - but a companion is recommended for the first 48 hours after surgery, especially for combined body procedures.
Follow-up continues directly with Dr. Barutcu on WhatsApp: you send photos at week 1, week 4, month 3 and month 6, and receive guidance on scar care, compression garments, massage and returning to sport.
