A breast lift in Turkey usually costs from AUD $5,056 to AUD $7,223. Prices depend on the surgical technique, such as the lollipop or anchor method, and clinic location. Most patients travel to major medical hubs like Istanbul and Antalya. In Australia, the average cost is around AUD $17,480. Australians typically save about 64% by choosing Turkish clinics. Standard packages include surgery, sedation, blood tests, and airport transfers.
Breast implants with breast lift: AUD $7,079 to AUD $9,824 for combined lifting and volume enhancement.
Breast lift with implants - round: AUD $3,756 to AUD $7,512 using high-quality silicone round implants.
Breast reduction: AUD $4,623 to AUD $7,946 for patients needing weight removal and lifting.

Many top surgeons, like Dr. Hasan Sahin, have performed over 12,000 procedures. This high volume often results in more natural, balanced silhouettes for Australian patients.

Reviews about Bookimed: Discover Patients' Insights
My main worry going into this was the recovery pain, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s not that painful! Of course, there's discomfort, but it was far more manageable than I anticipated, especially while having a 6 month old baby to care for. The biggest challenge for me has honestly just been sleeping upright. I’m still in the early stages of healing, but my incisions looked good when the initial bandages were removed at the clinic, my nipple position has definitely been improved. The surgeon and the clinic staff were very professional and attentive throughout the entire process, providing clear instructions and support. All staff that I came into contact with were polite and caring.
I really liked how organised everything was. The schedule was clearly explained and followed well throughout, so I didn’t have to worry or feel stressed. The surgeon was very kind and even joked with me before the operation, which helped me feel more relaxed. I was also able to bring my family, including my young son, and both the hotel and hospital accommodated us really well.
Any questions I had were answered really well. However, after surgery it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming taking in all the information, so an aftercare information sheet, including guidance on dressing removal and recovery advice would be really helpful.

Everyone at the clinic has proved themselves to be true professionals
What worried me most was the recovery process itself. Technically, I knew what to expect, but the day-to-day healing process was a mystery. It has been 15 days since my anchor incision surgery. At the moment, the most challenging aspect has been the uneven swelling – it’s a bit disorienting and makes it hard to gauge the final result, so you need to be prepared for that. My nipples are also still settling back to normal, which is to be expected at this stage. Despite these temporary difficulties, the support from the surgeon and the entire staff has been tangible. Everyone at the clinic has proved themselves to be true professionals. It’s a process. I’m simply focusing on healing.
I’d like to leave a review of Istanbul Esthetic Center in Turkey.
The interpreter, Varvara, was simply amazing — very attentive, always available, and genuinely helpful with any queries. Even after I returned home, she continued to respond and offer support.
A special thank you to Dr Ergir Er — a brilliant surgeon and a very pleasant person, who was easy and relaxed to talk to, without any unnecessary stress or tension.
I am currently in the recovery phase following breast surgery, but I am already pleased with the result. We’ll see, of course, how things progress and what the final result looks like.
The organisation of my stay was also top-notch. A transfer was arranged, and at the clinic the nurses and staff kept a constant eye on me — practically round the clock. While I was at the clinic, I was well looked after; they always helped when needed, took my blood pressure and monitored my condition.
The food at the clinic was excellent. I was able to move about freely, walk the corridors, and always felt supported by the staff.
Overall, my impressions are very good. Istanbul Esthetic Centre left a strong positive impression — I can recommend it.

Hello. The operation was performed at the Estetik International clinic. The clinic looks expensive. Everything in it is beautiful, expensive, rich, an excellent ward, and so on. But. A lot but. I'll start. Bukemed organized everything quickly. They are great. Only I clarified a couple of times when to take tickets back home. They said on the 14th. And the operation was on the 10th. Analyzes on the 8th. 9 clinic day off. Arriving at the clinic, the translator Ozan, the translator, tells me that she should fly 17-18 back. Since the days are counted from the moment of the operation. That is, I was not correctly informed in bookimed. OK. I left earlier. The doctor said everything is healing. The clinic itself and its attitude towards me. I had a lift and an increase. The operation was carried out on the 10th at about 15.00. On the 11th at 14.00 I was told that I had an hour to get ready and the transfer would take me to the hotel. I begged to leave me for a day or at least until the morning in the clinic. Since it was terribly hard for me, everything hurt a lot. I couldn't get up, get dressed, etc. I felt dizzy and my blood pressure dropped. But I was told 250€ a day at the clinic or go to the hotel. I went to the hotel. I had drainage. It needs to be cleaned. I was told to do it myself. Once a translator came for me. Since I refused to do it myself because I could just faint from all this. The next day, a friend helped me to do this, and then they removed the drainage and sent me home the next day. And here the most interesting begins. Manager Katerina or coordinator. I don't know her position correctly. I'll attach a screen recording showing the dialog. Transfer to the airport is included in the price of all this. I started talking about the transfer in the evening before the day of departure. Then in the morning. Then I was told to expect a transfer. Then they said that it was broken or something else and that I would call a taxi myself. I couldn't do it because I couldn't pay. The card already had a limit on funds. There is such a law in Ukraine. 100.000 UAH per month I can spend abroad. For a very long time I was hung up with a taxi. The plane is in a couple of hours. A child is waiting at home. I'm on my nerves. Due to the lack of specifics and information, at the end of all this, I just lost my temper and could not find other words except mats and tears. In the end, they called me a taxi. I'm going. With full confidence that he was paid. The taxi driver shows the amount. And I understand that it is not paid. I had to ask for a card from their parents. Attach it to your phone and pay. Next, I go to the airport. I understand that I won't be able to. The clinic helped only in the fact that they checked me in for the flight. When they realized that I could really be late, and then they would have to resolve the issue with tickets and the hotel at their own expense, since it was all their fault. There are 100+ people in line at passport control. I understand I can't. Spit in an hour exactly. The gate has already been opened. And I decide to try. I just asked each person if I could go in front of him, and so I went in line and got on the plane. Now the clinic does not respond to me. Bookimed said that the money would be returned for a taxi, but this issue could be resolved for months. But I'm really looking forward to it. Katerina said the issue is under consideration by the authorities. For the past three days does not answer at what stage the question. Regarding the doctor. All OK. I had a difficult breast situation. He corrected her. But so far it's only been a week. I think it's definitely better than it was. But he didn't hear me. I asked for bigger breasts. I installed a 400 ml implant, but I don’t like it because there is no volume anyway.

My main advice for anyone considering this is to thoroughly vet the surgeon’s communication style and their approach to aftercare. The staff here were truly supportive and kind, which I appreciated. While my anchor incision procedure did result in a good lift, the overall experience was let down by the surgeon. My nipples were cut way too small with no warning and it doesn't look good. It's a mixed outcome. The clinic was okay, but the results are disappointing.

They met and exceeded my expectations
I was hesitant at the beginning because I didn’t want what to expect. That changed since the min I landed. I had a wonderful experience and everything went smooth. From and to the airport to the hospital, the amenities and staff were all exceptional, just as described upon booking. They met and exceeded my expectations . The only thing I would improve is the night shift nurses could be a little more fluent in English instead of using google translator. Overall the whole team was really nice . Would definitely recommend this clinic !!

All arrangements and conditions were fulfilled to 1000❗️%
In December 2025. I asked Bookimed to find a clinic in Turkey where I could have two surgeries at once, I was interested in abdominoplasty and breast lift. Christina, Bookimed coordinator, responded very quickly and on the same day picked up several options for me according to my needs. I chose Lokman Hekim Istanbul and Murat Yaman Plastic Surgeon.
All arrangements and conditions were fulfilled to 1000❗️%.
I am very satisfied with the Bookimed service, Lokman Hekim Clinic and Dr Murat Yaman, as well as a special thanks to the clinic's interpreter coordinator Olga, who was always in touch with me and made communication and understanding with the doctor possible.

Thank you to your team DOCTOR MED for your professional approach
Good evening. My name is Anna. I will start my story with the fact that I am not the first time I come to Turkey to correct some nuances in myself. That is, there is something to compare!
The first person I want to talk about is Dr MED. He is a professional, I would say a fan, he lives and breathes his work. From the first meeting with a banal Hallo to the marking before surgery from the doctor one positive and kindness. He has incredible energy and love for his work. My plans for the operation were global on this visit, but they were not fated to come true. During the operation my blood pressure jumped to 150 and fluctuated during 3 hours from 90 to 150 - it was decided by the anaesthesiologist and the doctor to stop the operation. As a result, only liposuction of the abdomen 360 degrees and correction of the chin was performed.
Secondly is of course Dr Mad and his staff . Everything was organised initially through Bookingmed, prices and conditions were agreed with them at the beginning. As soon as we arrived in Turkey we were organised a comfortable transfer to the hotel. In the morning we had a lovely interpreter, Lara, who was with us for the whole 7 days of our stay in Turkey. Very competent staff, the night after the operation I was cared for by two nurses who every hour I put a drip of different medicines and brought me food and water. It was very nice to see Larochka who was on call 24/7.
In the third hotel and hotel staff, very attentive and responsive. At any request it was always, quickly and without unnecessary conversations. I had breakfast in the room the first 4 days as it was hard to walk me. Even on the second day they brought me soup in my room in the evening in the hotel, which was especially nice. Thank you to your team DOCTOR MED for your professional approach. RECOMMEND.
The doctor is a professional. He stopped the operation because of high blood pressure and saved my life.

Thank you very much Dr
We chose a doctor for my daughter for a long time and left our choice on Dr. Hakan, he is a doctor from God, his hands are golden, he performed a triple operation for my daughter, brachioplasty, breast implants and reverse abdominoplasty, 5 days have passed since the operation, and it is still difficult to judge objectively about the results, but the stitches that Dr. Hakan makes are a work of art, and the most important thing is how he instills confidence in the patient, my daughter immediately came to her senses after the follow-up examination with the doctor, Thank you very much Dr. Hakan for your patience and professionalism. Young, handsome and talented. I would also like to say about his team, Dr MED’s assistant, Narmina and Mukhlise. Narmina has such sympathy, and can also calm down and give confidence, Mukhlisa is a joyful girl, always positive, always ready to help. The only thing I didn’t like was the location of the hotel, it is located on a mountain, and it is not very easy for a person after surgery to make descents and ascents. Of course, transfers are provided, but the rest of the time you are in the hotel, I really hope for an excellent result of the operation, for this you need to wait 6 months.

I couldn’t recommend him more!! Will definitely be returning for future surgeries
Ecstatic about the outcome of my eyelid revision (not good with proper names 😂). He knew exactly what he was doing and was very thorough with the pre-surgery consultation. Was very kind and understanding to my concerns as I had doubts from the results from my previous surgery (with a different surgeon at a different clinic) but was very understanding and patient with me. I couldn’t recommend him more!! Will definitely be returning for future surgeries. Definitely my go-to surgeon from here on out!
He was very patient and thorough

The result exceeded all my expectations
I want to express my immense gratitude to Coordinator Anna from Bookimed and the entire team at Dr. Med Clinic for their assistance in planning my surgery and their continuous support thereafter. In December, I underwent a breast reduction and lift procedure, and the result exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Aykut Gok is a consummate professional with a big heart and an incredible smile. The clinic staff is very responsive and promptly reacted to all my requests. I bow low to you. Special thanks to Mukhliisa, who stayed with me for 10 days, caring for everything as if we were family. Mukhliisa is a very radiant and incredibly kind young woman. Thank you for the work you have done! 😊 We will certainly see each other again soon for liposculpture.
With gratitude,

The ward is not bad, and the staff themselves, some incompetent, poured an IV on the bed, slept in a wet bed at night, the IV catheter was poorly positioned, my arm was very sore. The person who was supposed to accompany me did not come, since it was Sunday, I believe that there should be no days off for such cases. I could not explain to them, but on the second day a more competent girl came and arranged everything. The doctor is young enough, but I think he coped with the chest, but I'm not happy with the liposuction of the legs

FAQ about Breast lift in Turkey
These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.
Is it safe to get a breast lift in Turkey?
A breast lift in Turkey is generally safe when performed by board-certified surgeons in accredited clinics. Many Turkish surgeons have international training and use recognised implant brands like Motiva and Mentor. Facilities often provide hospital stays, general anaesthesia, and thorough post-op care for recovery.
Surgeon credentials: Many hold European Board or ISAPS certification.
Clinic quality: JCI-accredited hospitals like Memorial Antalya ensure safety standards.
Techniques available: Standard lifts, lollipop methods, and lifts with implants.
Recovery support: 1–2 days hospital stay, plus VIP transfers and hotel stays in packages.
Patient experience: Reviews show manageable pain and professional care throughout healing.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinics offering one-year aftercare support, like Dr. MED Clinic, stand out for ongoing patient care. Award-winning surgeons such as Dr Ergin Er perform thousands of breast lifts annually, indicating strong expertise. Packages with VIP transfers and extended hotel stays provide stress-free recovery, which matters for visitors from Australia.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey say recovery pain is less severe than expected. Care teams are attentive, making early healing smoother. Many found hospital and hotel stays comfortable, easing the whole process far beyond initial worries.
How long does the recovery take after a breast lift in Turkey?
Recovery after a breast lift in Turkey typically requires 7 to 10 days of rest with limited movement. Most patients stay in Turkey for 7 to 10 days to allow safe travel home. Full arm movement and comfort usually return within 2 to 4 weeks, with final healing taking several months.
Initial bed rest: 7 to 10 days with limited mobility and discomfort.
Critical period: First 48–72 hours hardest for basic tasks like dressing.
Safe travel stay: Patients often remain 7–10 days post-op before flying.
Full recovery: 2 to 4 weeks to regain arm movement and physical comfort.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinics in Istanbul, like Dr. MED Clinic and Db'est Clinic, offer packages with 1-2 day hospital stays plus 5-7 nights in hotel recovery, allowing proper medical follow-up before flying. Many Australian patients include companions for support during critical early days.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find the first few days after breast lift the toughest but manageable with nurse support. Staying at a nearby hotel for up to 10 days helps ensure safe recovery before the flight. Clear communication from surgeons and staff reduces stress during recovery.
Will there be visible scars after a breast lift in Turkey?
Visible scars are inevitable after a breast lift in Turkey, as incisions reshape the breasts. Scars usually fade and soften over 18 to 24 months, becoming less noticeable. Skilled surgeons use techniques like lollipop or anchor incisions to minimise scar visibility.
Incision types: lollipop, anchor, and peri-areolar scars vary by lift technique.
Surgeon expertise: experienced surgeons like Dr Ergin Er perform 10,000+ procedures.
Healing time: scars improve significantly within 6 to 12 months post-surgery.
Scar care: clinics offer post-op medications and support to aid healing.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Top clinics in Istanbul and Antalya, like Istanbul Aesthetic and Memorial Antalya Hospital, offer JCI-accredited breast lifts with techniques focusing on minimal scarring. Surgeons with 10,000+ procedures reduce scar risk. Packages often include specialised bras and post-op care essential for better scar outcomes.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey say scars are initially visible but fade well with time and good care. Many praise surgeon skill and clinic support for making scars less obvious during recovery. Clear post-op instructions and follow-ups help manage scar healing effectively.
Can a breast lift be combined with breast augmentation in Turkey?
A breast lift can be safely combined with breast augmentation in Turkey to restore shape and add volume. Clinics in Istanbul and Antalya offer this combined procedure using high-quality Mentor® or Motiva® implants. Surgery includes general anaesthesia, with hospital stays of 1–2 days and recovery under 10–15 days.
Combination approach: breast lift with implants (round or teardrop shapes) available.
Implants: Mentor®, Motiva® Ergonomix®, or Polytech® SublimeLine® used by top clinics.
Hospitals: JCI-accredited centres like Memorial Antalya Hospital provide safe environments.
Recovery support: special bras, compression garments, and follow-ups included in packages.
Top surgeons: Dr Ergin Er in Istanbul performed 10,000+ breast surgeries with award-winning skill.

Patient Consensus: Patients appreciate professional care and manageable pain post-surgery in Turkey. Many highlight clear instructions, attentive staff, and smooth recovery. Staying 10–14 days for follow-up is common, with English-speaking support easing the process for Australians.
What does a breast lift package in Turkey typically include?
Breast lift packages in Turkey typically include the surgery performed by certified plastic surgeons, 1–2 nights in a hospital, and 5–7 nights in a 4- or 5-star hotel. They also cover consultations, blood tests, general anaesthesia, post-op medications, and VIP transfers.
Surgery and anaesthesia: General anaesthesia by a qualified anaesthetist included.

Accommodation: 4- to 5-star hotel stay for 4 to 7 nights to aid recovery.
Medical tests: Pre-operative blood tests and consultations with surgeons and anaesthetists.
Transfers and support: VIP airport-hotel-clinic transfers and translator services often included.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Many Turkish clinics package hotel stays longer than hospital stays, allowing patients comfortable local recovery with companion options. Clinics like Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center feature surgeons with 10,000+ procedures, boosting confidence in results. Checking if implants or compression garments are included is essential since packages vary widely.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey highlight smooth hospital care and pain that’s easier than expected. They notice professional, attentive staff and comprehensive support, including helpful translators. Hotel stays give a restful environment to heal comfortably after surgery.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey for a breast lift?
The typical stay for a breast lift in Turkey ranges from 7 to 10 nights. This period covers surgery, hospital stay, follow-ups for drain removal, incision checks, and confirming fitness to fly. Clinics often include 1–2 nights hospital stay and 4–7 nights in hotels.
Hospital stay: Usually 1 to 2 nights included in breast lift packages.
Follow-up visits: Scheduled on days 1, 7, 14, and before departure.
Recovery challenges: The first 3–4 days are the hardest. Mobility improves by day 7.
Flight clearance: Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 7 days before flying.
Package inclusions: Many clinics provide hotel accommodation for 5–7 nights and transfers.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Packages with 5 nights hotel stay suit most breast lift cases. Extended stays of 7–10 days apply mainly when combining procedures like implants or mommy makeovers, which need longer rest and multiple follow-ups. Doctor Ergin Er at Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Centre and Dr Muhammet Mustafa Aydinol at Dr. MED Clinic offer award-winning expertise, supporting safe recovery within these timeframes.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find the first 2–3 days hardest and appreciate clinics arranging follow-ups and comfortable hotel stays. Many mention doctors ensure incisions look good at first checkups and advise resting without heavy activity. Flying after one week is standard advice, giving enough time to heal safely.
Can I breastfeed after having a breast lift in Turkey?
Yes, most women can breastfeed after a breast lift in Turkey, especially using techniques like the lollipop method that preserve milk ducts. The ability to breastfeed depends on how much the nipple and ducts are moved. Discuss future breastfeeding plans with the surgeon before surgery.
Surgeons in Turkey use methods that protect milk ducts and nerves.
Breast lift without implants generally preserves milk production better.
Implant lifts may affect breastfeeding less, but finishing feeding first is advised.
Follow-up care includes special bras and support garments for healing.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish surgeons like Dr Ergin Er with 10,000+ breast surgeries focus on duct-preserving lifts. Clinics such as Memorial Antalya and Hisar Hospital offer JCI-accredited care, adding safety confidence. Packages often include careful post-op support like compression bras which aid recovery and maintain results, helping long-term breastfeeding capabilities.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey appreciate the professional care and clear post-op guidance. Many find initial pain manageable and report nipple position improved. Sleeping upright can be tough, but support garments help. Breastfeeding is often possible after surgery, with surgeons explaining how techniques protect milk ducts for better outcomes.
