How Much Does Breast Augmentation with Gummy Bear Implants Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Breast augmentation with gummy bear implants in Turkey typically costs from AUD $4,991 to AUD $7,843. Final prices depend on the chosen implant brand, the surgeon's expertise, and the clinic's location in hubs like Istanbul, Antalya, or Izmir. In Australia, patients often pay AUD $14,830 on average, meaning travelling to Turkey can provide savings of approximately 57%. Most Turkish clinics provide all-inclusive packages covering the surgery, premium cohesive silicone implants, 4-star or 5-star hotel accommodation, and VIP airport transfers.

  • Implant brand selection: Premium options like Motiva or Mentor often increase the total package price by 10–15%.
  • Standard silicone implants: These typically cost 15–20% less than the firmer, highly cohesive gummy bear variety.
  • Hybrid breast augmentation: Combining implants with fat transfer generally adds 30% to the base surgical fee.
  • Geographic location: Packages in Istanbul frequently run 15–20% higher than similar services in Antalya or Izmir.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a specialist with international credentials provides high value without the Australian price tag. Surgeons like Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez and Dr. Ayhan Isik Erdal hold EBOPRAS (European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery) diplomas, ensuring they meet rigorous Continental standards. For the best balance of cost and luxury, look for clinics like Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center, which has performed over 4,000 procedures and includes comprehensive VIP services in their quotes.

Data verified by Bookimed as of June 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 28 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

My experience was amazing. Dr Mustafa was incredible and made me feel completely at ease, and the nurses were so kind and caring throughout the whole process. My medical coordinator, Lara, was absolutely amazing and supported me every step of the way. The surgery has come out perfectly, exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m so grateful to the whole team for making my dream come true, and giving me my confidence back ☺️❤️. I am still slightly bruised and swollen in the “after” picture I have added, but the difference speaks for itself!!!

I’m already happy with the result
What worried me most was the pain after the operation and how the recovery would go. But I needn’t have worried. Now I only feel a slight discomfort, which is perfectly bearable. The doctor did everything very carefully, placing the implants under the muscle via an incision beneath the breast, and I’m already happy with the result. Sensitivity is back to normal. I’m sleeping better too. I’m very grateful to the whole team for their support and professionalism. My best advice to other women planning this operation is: the main thing is not to be afraid and to trust the doctor – he’s a pro.
Thank you to everyone who took part
It’s a shame I don’t live in Istanbul …

Sleeping is getting better every day, which is very pleasing
There is some discomfort after the operation, but the pain is mild and quite bearable. I had implants placed under the muscle via an incision beneath the breast, and I’m gradually getting used to the new sensations, including a slight numbness around the nipples, which is perfectly normal at this stage. I can already see the results. Sleeping is getting better every day, which is very pleasing. My main advice to other girls who are just planning to have the operation is: don’t be afraid, because beauty requires sacrifice.
Everything from start to finish, as instructed at the clinic and right up until departure)

The whole team at the clinic was solid
My biggest worry was the recovery pain, but it turned out to be manageable. At 15 days post-op, it’s mostly just a mild discomfort. The surgeon used an under-the-breast incision and placed the implants under the muscle. The whole team at the clinic was solid. I will say, sleeping is still a struggle and my nipples are slightly numb, but I was prepared for these temporary things. For anyone else considering this, my best recovery hack is to stay on top of your medication schedule. Keep track of your painkillers; don't miss any dose, especially in the beginning. It truly helps.
Transfers, timing, doctor, clinic, communication, reassurance- all of those was great
Language barrier. Interpreter should be present.

The surgeon and the clinic were good
If I had to give advice to a friend, I’d tell her that recovery is no walk in the park. Fifteen days after the operation, my pain is moderate and manageable, but sleeping is still difficult and my nipples are hypersensitive. What’s more, the range of motion in my arms is severely restricted. The decision to go for the dual-plane technique with the incision under the breast feels right. The surgeon and the clinic were good. I was less satisfied with the staff and the organisation. There’s room for improvement there. Although I mentioned information or queries on several occasions, they were either ignored or people talked around the issue. Communication with the nurses was difficult at times due to their limited English. My best tip for recovery: having someone to accompany you is very important, as you are very dependent on others in all sorts of everyday situations. A water bottle with a straw and tops that open at the front are practical and make the first few weeks easier.
The doctor addressed all my questions and answered them. The interpreter was helpful and answered my questions even when I was at the hotel.
The organisation has been a bit of a mess. On the day of my departure, my medical coordinator wrote to say I needed lab results for my thyroid levels, but it was impossible for me to get them from my doctor at such short notice. The clinic had already been aware of my thyroid condition for months. Furthermore, our transfer was at the wrong airport in Istanbul, even though I had sent the exact flight details and explicitly named the airport.

My biggest worry was feeling rushed on the day of surgery, and that part was challenging. I would request the many forms that need reading and signing prior to your visit, because being asked to understand what you’ve read and sign on the day when one is feeling anxious and nervous is not ideal. Despite this, my surgeon was fantastic and I felt confident with the dual plane technique used. The results so far are good. Recovery takes time. At 15 days, I'm still struggling to sleep and have some mild discomfort and slightly numb nipples. I feel that a leaflet detailing what to expect in the coming weeks would have been beneficial.
My anaesthetist. He was a wonderful man that put me at ease. He spoke excellent English and reassured me that I was in safe hands. My surgeon also spoke excellent English which was important.
The nurses didn’t speak much English and bearing in mind they are looking after you post surgery it was a a bit difficult. Forms sent to me prior my visit as mentioned before. More post op information. And an emergency number to call once I left the hospital to go to the hotel. I had to ask for that.

Thank you all who supported me from the very beginning of my decision and to the end! Peace, health and fulfilment of wishes!
We were brought straight to the hospital after arriving. Good transfer! Olga, our interpreter, met us at the hospital. She was not only an interpreter but also a counsellor on many issues in Istanbul, as it was the first time we had been here. In the evening we took a blood test and in the morning I was operated. I came out of the anaesthesia easily, already in a new image. The doctor was very attentive, both before the operation, during the examination, and after. Service staff, very nice nurses, even though I did not understand them, but smiled doing their job and did not embarrass me. In the hospital I was with my husband only two nights, I felt good and we moved to the hotel (room large, clean with breakfast included!). We went to the dressing. There was always a transfer! Additionally I want to add about Istanbul - it is very interesting and mysterious city fairy tale! Thank you all who supported me from the very beginning of my decision and to the end! Peace, health and fulfilment of wishes! I recommend it!
That's it!

The operation was successful, I am completely satisfied with the result
The clinic was disappointing. Instead of the promised surgery start time of 12-13 hours, we found a free operating theatre only at 19:30. The situation was saved by the doctor himself, who was in the clinic all the time and was also waiting for the operating theatre to be given to us. He calmed me down and supported me. Many thanks to him for this, also a big thanks to the interpreter Valeria who was also there for me. Many thanks to the medical staff of the clinic, they are great professionals. The operation was successful, I am completely satisfied with the result. I plan to have a face lift with the same doctor.

For my husband, according to him, everything was fine and he loves me even with small disadvantages, which in the end nature unfairly offended, but the children grew up, everyone was happy, except me
My dream has come true ❤️ After giving birth and breastfeeding two children, I faced a common issue among many women. My breasts significantly reduced in size, became empty, and developed a slight asymmetry. In life, many might say that this isn't important. However, a woman at any age wants to admire herself, to love herself, to dress beautifully, to feel comfortable, and naturally, to be attractive to her husband. According to my husband, everything was fine, and he loved me despite the small imperfections that nature had unfairly bestowed upon me. Yet, as the children grew, everyone was happy except me. I wanted to feel wonderful at the beach, to buy the clothes I desired without high necklines, and of course, to be the beloved, attractive woman in beautiful lingerie for my husband. And I realized that time was passing, and I could delay no longer. I MUST BE HAPPY, first and foremost, for myself. The scariest part was choosing a specialist and deciding where to do it. Fortunately, I found this wonderful website, "Bookimed." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have resolved everything so quickly. I will write a detailed review, hoping it helps others in their choice, overcoming fear, and also realizing their dreams. A month ago, I read your website thoroughly, from the first to the last comment. From the very first moment, a wonderful and responsive girl, Kristina, my personal coordinator, contacted me. She was available almost around the clock and quickly answered all my questions and concerns. She was an advisor and best friend during those days, providing support and reassurance that I could fully trust her and the specialists awaiting me in Istanbul. We then sent a request to the Dr. Med clinic, and Dr. Hakan Teymur provided an individualized program. It was apparent that he had carefully considered my issue, outlining all the necessary work. (I initially thought I only needed implants, but it turned out I also required a lift and nipple correction along with minor asymmetry correction.) Another huge plus Kristina mentioned was that Dr. Hakan uses internal, thin, and absorbable stitches, ensuring the most aesthetically pleasing results. Additionally, they found a date for my surgery as I wanted—within the same month. I wasn't prepared to wait six months, as I'd go crazy with worry. I still had numerous questions in my mind, and I constantly wrote to Kristina, but the next day, through a video call, I spoke with Dr. Hakan and Narmina, who interpreted for me. My questions and emotional concerns were resolved in one call, and I realized that I didn't want another doctor and wasn't afraid to fly there. They would provide the best care possible. And that's exactly what happened. I traveled with my sister, which was very important for emotional and physical support, especially in the early days. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a comfortable transfer that accompanied us throughout our stay in Istanbul—from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the clinic, etc. We were accommodated in a hotel within walking distance of the doctor's office. The hotel was clean, with daily bed linen change and housekeeping. The next morning, my interpreter, Mukhlisa, awaited us at the reception. This fragile, cheerful, kind, and considerate girl was like an angel. Not once did I feel worried with her; we laughed all the time. Mukhlisa and Narminoka were on standby all day, communicating all movements and recommendations before and after the surgery. The meeting with the doctor and team was also very friendly. It felt like we had known each other for a long time. We discussed everything, took measurements, eased any remaining concerns, and went for tests at the clinic. The surgery was the next morning. The doctor and anesthetist comfortingly held my hands and smiled, assuring me everything would be fine. As I was given anesthesia, I fell asleep... I awoke as I was being wheeled into the room. That was the hardest moment—I was very cold, experiencing severe shivering and pain. But there was plenty of staff around, along with the doctor and my sister. Hakan reassured me that everything went perfectly! The nurses quickly covered me with two blankets, set up a heater underneath, administered pain medication, and once I warmed up, I fell asleep. The room was very cozy; my sister stayed with me on a nearby couch for the entire day. The staff came frequently, day and night, providing pain relief, antibiotics, and checking blood pressure and temperature. By evening, dinner was served. A nurse helped me get out of bed and use the bathroom for the first time. The next morning, Mukhlisa arrived, uplifted my spirits as always, assisted with the discharge process, and accompanied me by transfer back to the hotel. On the second day, I relaxed in the hotel, watched the series "Magnificent Century" the entire day, drank tea, ate, and chatted with my family by phone. By the third day, I was able to go for a walk with my sister in the evening. On the fourth, we took a taxi to see the beauties of Istanbul—mosques, parks, and cafes. I felt fine, and when my chest tingled, we'd rest before continuing our walk. On the fifth day, I had a check-up with the doctor and team. Hakan, a true gentleman, helped me dress and undress, gently removed the bandages, and pleasantly surprised me with his remarkable work and neat scars. Everything looked aesthetic even then. We took some photos for memory. Special thanks to Semra for our secret women's talk. You are incredibly beautiful and open. Narminochka, thank you for your smile and kind heart from the first moment of our communication. You are the best team working alongside an excellent specialist and master in his field. On the same day, it was my sister's birthday, and in the evening, we went on a Bosphorus night cruise. We watched performances, enjoyed alcohol-free cocktails, and danced just a little without moving my arms. We rested on Sunday, strolled through the evening streets, and flew home the next morning. Nearly three weeks have passed—the swelling is going down, though some areas of numbness remain, and there's occasional tingling and pain. But I've already discarded all my padded bras and, for the first time, bought the thinnest, most attractive bras in my life. My husband hasn't seen much of them yet, as I'm still sleeping in a special bra, on my back, and in a separate bed—but when he did, he expressed his admiration, saying they look naturally beautiful and sexy. It's just a little longer before I can reveal them fully, and I'm sure no one would guess there was any surgical intervention. Once again, I thank the entire team that remains in touch with me in a separate WhatsApp group, offering year-long support, concern, and eagerly awaiting my monthly photo updates.

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.

I recommend this clinic unequivocally
This is my first plastic surgery. I was very nervous. However, when I came to the clinic, I realised that my body was in good hands. The doctor understood what I wanted and performed the surgery in the best way possible. After a week it became clear that I got the breast of my dreams. Everything was perfect. From the transfer to the hotel room. The accompaniment of an interpreter 24/7. The friendly staff. The attention I received throughout my stay in the clinic, before and after discharge. And the doctor is a real artist and sculptor. I recommend this clinic unequivocally. Next time only to you.

The first look in the mirror after the operation was also very emotional - I felt really comfortable in my body for the first time
"A special moment of my medical journey was definitely the day of my breast augmentation. I had been thinking about it for a long time and had done a lot of research - but when the day finally came, I was still excited. I particularly remember the consultation with DR. ERGIN ER directly before the procedure. He took away my last doubts and made me feel safe. The first look in the mirror after the operation was also very emotional - I felt really comfortable in my body for the first time.

FAQ about Breast Augmentation with Gummy Bear Implants in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What are the risks associated with undergoing breast augmentation with gummy bear implants in Turkey?

Breast augmentation with gummy bear implants in Turkey carries risks like capsular contracture, implant rupture, and rippling. Patients can reduce these by choosing JCI-accredited hospitals or EBOPRAS-certified surgeons. EBOPRAS stands for the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. These certifications help maintain high safety standards and proper surgical techniques.

  • Capsular contracture: Scar tissue hardens around the implant, potentially causing firmness or displacement.
  • Silent rupture: Highly cohesive gel maintains shape if the shell breaks, requiring imaging detection.
  • Textured implant risks: Specific textured surfaces are linked to BIA-ALCL, a rare immune system cell cancer.
  • Aesthetic shifts: Animation deformity may occur if implants move during pectoral muscle contraction.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Surgeons at high-volume Turkish clinics often hold EBOPRAS or ASPS credentials. These signify they meet rigorous international standards. Dr Furkan Erol Karabekmez, for example, combines Mayo Clinic research experience with structured follow-up protocols for Australians. This level of qualification is key to managing long-term implant stability and reducing revision rates.

Patient Consensus: Patients travelling to Turkey value clinics that provide detailed aftercare instructions and clear communication. Many felt reassured by the professional environment and the thorough pre-operative consultations provided in Istanbul and Antalya.

Is Turkey a safe destination for breast augmentation with gummy bear implants?

Turkey is a safe destination for breast augmentation with gummy bear implants. Patients should choose board-certified plastic surgeons in accredited hospitals. Leading facilities maintain safety through Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. Many specialised surgeons also hold European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS) credentials.

  • Surgeon credentials: Many specialists hold FEBOPRAS or ISAPS memberships to meet international surgical standards.
  • Hospital standards: Facilities like Memorial Antalya Hospital maintain JCI accreditation for patient safety.
  • Implant quality: Clinics use high-cohesive silicone gel implants that maintain shape without leaking.
  • Clinical experience: High-volume centres like Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center treat 4,000+ patients annually.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that experienced Turkish surgeons often have significant international training. For example, Dr Furkan Erol Karabekmez trained at the Mayo Clinic. Choosing a surgeon with global credentials provides extra safety for Australian patients seeking expertise.

Patient Consensus: Many patients find Turkish clinics offer highly personalised care. They suggest verifying surgeon qualifications rather than focusing on marketing deals. They also recommend allowing extra recovery time before flying back to Australia to manage swelling safely.

What are gummy bear implants used in breast augmentation, and how do they differ from traditional options?

Gummy bear implants are highly cohesive silicone gel implants. They maintain a stable, teardrop shape similar to the lollies they are named after. These implants help provide a natural contour and reduce skin rippling in thin patients. They also assist in reconstruction following a mastectomy.

  • Firm consistency: The thick gel stays intact even if the outer shell is cut.
  • Form stability: Implants keep their anatomical shape better than liquid silicone or saline options.
  • Visual naturalness: Teardrop designs offer more volume at the base for a realistic profile.
  • Rupture safety: Cohesive gel prevents leakage into surrounding tissue if the casing fails.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While these implants offer better shape retention, they require precise placement to prevent rotation. Specialist surgeons in Turkey, such as Professor Furkan Erol Karabekmez, who trained at the Mayo Clinic, specialise in this precision. Patients should note that gummy bear implants often feel firmer than traditional silicone. This is a trade-off for the lower risk of visible rippling.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find the structured feel a worthwhile trade for the reduced rippling. Many report that the teardrop shape achieves a natural look that round implants cannot match.

Why would an Australian patient choose gummy bear implants for a breast augmentation procedure in Turkey?

Australian patients choose gummy bear implants in Turkey for durable, form-stable breast augmentation at competitive prices. These cohesive silicone implants retain a natural teardrop shape and reduce rippling. Surgeons in JCI-accredited facilities offer these procedures for $3,500 to $5,500.

  • Structural integrity: Cohesive gel maintains shape and prevents sagging or drooping over time.
  • Safety profile: Semi-solid filler reduces leakage risk if the outer implant shell ruptures.
  • Natural aesthetics: Implants provide a subtle gradient of fullness for a realistic silhouette.
  • Surgeon credentials: Many specialists, like Dr Mert Sizmaz, hold European Board certifications and perform thousands of surgeries.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinics in Turkey like Ento Surgical Medical Center specifically cater to Australians. While domestic costs average $10,400, patients save 57% even after flights. Success often depends on surgeon volume. For example, Dr Guray Yesiladali has performed over 15,000 operations.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find the total package price for high-cohesion implants much lower than in Australia. They appreciate the firmer feel and stability. They also advise others to confirm specific implant brands during consultations.
