Breast Lift with Implants Half Under the Muscle

WORTH IT
I am currently one week post-operative following a breast lift with implants placed partially under the muscle, so I appreciate this is still very early in my recovery. However, I wanted to share my experience so far.

Before travelling to Turkey, I was extremely nervous. I spent weeks researching and felt quite anxious about the decision. However, after my initial video consultation with my surgeon, Dr. Ça?atay Öner, I immediately felt reassured. He speaks excellent English, answered all of my questions thoroughly (even the ones I thought were silly), and made me feel completely at ease.

My first patient coordinator, Mohi, was fantastic — always responding within hours to any queries I had. Upon arrival in Turkey, I was taken straight to Vanity Hospital for blood tests and then transferred to my hotel to prepare for an early pick-up the following morning for surgery. At this point, I was introduced to my new coordinator, Berfin, who was also lovely and very supportive.

The team was extremely thorough in ensuring everything was safe before proceeding. I even had additional blood tests on the morning of surgery to double-check my thyroid levels. I was also offered the option to have a sample of the breast tissue removed during surgery sent for testing. This cost £140, and I felt it was a beneficial and reassuring option, so I chose to proceed with it. I am currently awaiting those results.

Once my blood results were confirmed, I was taken to theatre. The procedure itself felt over in the blink of an eye, and I woke up comfortably from the anaesthetic.

I stayed one night in the hospital, where the nurses checked on me regularly throughout the night, administered medication, and ensured I was comfortable. Although I did not have much appetite, this was to be expected. I was discharged at around 10:30am the following morning and back at my hotel shortly after.

That evening, a nurse mentioned a possible reaction to my surgical tapes, which understandably caused me some anxiety. A photo was taken to show the doctor, and although there was a slight delay in response the following day, I completely understand that the coordinators manage multiple patients. Since then, communication has been prompt and reassuring.

The nurse visited twice the following day and once more the day after. As I am healing well, further visits have not been necessary. I have experienced very minimal discomfort — more tightness than pain — and have not required pain relief since returning to the hotel.

At my final check-up today, Dr. Ça?atay Öner was once again thorough, patient, and attentive, answering all of my remaining questions. I left feeling very happy and confident in my decision. I am now just awaiting some final hospital documentation before flying home tomorrow.

Overall, my experience has been extremely positive. Based on the care, professionalism, and results so far, I would highly recommend both the hospital and Dr. Ça?atay Öner.
