BREAST ENLARGEMENT & IMPLANTS
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast enlargement or informally as a boob job, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume and change the size, shape or fullness of the breasts.
The procedure commonly involves placing breast implants either above or beneath the chest muscle. The choice of implant and placement depends on your existing breast tissue, body proportions and the result you would like to achieve.
Some patients consider breast augmentation because they have naturally smaller breasts, while others want to restore volume lost following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss or ageing. It may also be considered when there is a noticeable difference in size or shape between the breasts.
At Medlinko, your journey can begin with a face-to-face consultation in London, giving you the opportunity to discuss your expectations and understand the process before travelling to Istanbul.
How Does Breast Augmentation Work?
During breast augmentation surgery, an implant is positioned to increase breast volume and create the planned shape.
More Than a Cup Size
Implant width, volume, projection, shape and placement all contribute to the result. Your treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy and existing proportions.
Choosing the Right Breast Implant
There isn’t one breast implant that is right for everyone.
Choosing an implant involves considering several factors together, including your existing breast tissue, chest width, skin quality, body proportions and desired appearance.
Rather than simply asking “What size implants should I get?”, it’s important to consider the overall result you want to achieve.
Round Breast Implants
Round implants are commonly used in breast augmentation and can create increased volume and fullness.
They are available in different widths, volumes and profiles, allowing the treatment plan to be adjusted according to individual anatomy and goals.
Teardrop Breast Implants
A teardrop boob job uses anatomically shaped implants designed with greater fullness toward the lower portion of the implant.
They may be considered in selected cases where this shape is appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
The most suitable implant shape is determined as part of individual treatment planning.
Understanding Breast Implant Profiles
Two implants with a similar volume can create very different results.
Implant profile refers to how far an implant projects forward in relation to its width.
Options can include:
The most appropriate profile depends on your chest dimensions, natural breast tissue and desired appearance.

Moderate Profile
A wider base with more moderate projection.

Moderate Plus Profile
A balance between width and forward projection.

High Profile
Greater projection with a comparatively narrower base.

Ultra High Profile
Greater forward projection in appropriately selected cases.
Over or Under the Muscle?
Where the implant is positioned can affect the appearance and recovery of your breast augmentation.
There isn’t one placement technique that is automatically best for every patient.
Over the Muscle
The implant is placed above the pectoral muscle and behind the breast tissue.
This approach may be appropriate for selected patients who have sufficient natural tissue to provide implant coverage.
Under the Muscle
The implant is positioned partly or more fully beneath the chest muscle.
This can provide additional implant coverage in suitable patients, particularly where natural breast tissue is limited.
Dual Plane
Dual-plane breast augmentation combines aspects of implant placement beneath the muscle and breast tissue.
It is commonly used where additional upper-pole coverage is desired while allowing the lower portion of the breast to accommodate the implant.
Which Placement Is Right for Me?
Your anatomy, existing breast tissue and desired outcome all influence which technique may be appropriate.
Do I Need Breast Implants or a Breast Lift?
The right approach depends on whether your main concern is volume, sagging, or both.
The correct option depends on your anatomy rather than simply the size you would like your breasts to be.

Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery following a boob job is different for every patient, but discomfort, swelling, tightness and bruising are common during the early stages.
Your body needs time to heal and your breasts will continue changing as swelling reduces and the implants settle.
Recovery times are estimates rather than guarantees. Always follow the instructions provided for your individual procedure.
When Will I See My Breast Augmentation Results?
A change in breast volume is visible immediately after surgery, but this isn’t the final result.
Initially, the breasts may appear swollen, firm or sit higher than expected.
As healing progresses, swelling reduces and the implants gradually settle into their position. The appearance continues to change over the following weeks and months.
Your final result depends on factors including your anatomy, implant choice, surgical plan and individual healing.
Every body heals differently, and specific results cannot be guaranteed.
Breast Implant Risks & Considerations
Like every surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries potential risks and limitations.
Possible complications can include:
- Infection
- Bleeding or haematoma
- Scarring
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Breast asymmetry
- Implant movement or displacement
- Capsular contracture
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Changes in breast appearance over time
- Anaesthetic complications
- Need for revision surgery
Breast implants should not be considered lifetime devices, and some patients may require additional surgery in the future.
Understanding both the potential benefits and risks is an important part of deciding whether breast augmentation is right for you.
Can Breast Implants Be Removed?
Yes. Removing breast implants is possible if circumstances or preferences change in the future.
Patients may consider taking out breast implants because of personal preference, changes to the breasts over time, implant-related concerns or because they want to replace their existing implants.
Depending on the condition of the breast tissue and skin, implant removal may sometimes be combined with another procedure such as a breast lift.
The appropriate approach depends on the individual situation and requires medical assessment.
How Much Does a Boob Job Cost?
The cost of a boob job depends on several factors, including the type of procedure, implant choice and your individual treatment requirements.
For this reason, rather than treating every breast augmentation as identical, Medlinko provides a personalised treatment plan and quotation after your case has been assessed.
Your quotation will clearly explain your planned treatment and package inclusions before you make your decision.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
Questions About Breast Augmentation
Is breast augmentation the same as a boob job?
Yes. Boob job is an informal term commonly used to describe breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty. The procedure typically involves using breast implants to increase breast volume and change breast shape or fullness.
How much does a boob job cost?
Boob job prices vary according to the treatment plan, implant choice and individual requirements.
Following your assessment, Medlinko can provide a personalised quotation showing your proposed treatment and what’s included in your package.
Can I have a face-to-face consultation in London first?
Yes. This is an important part of the Medlinko experience.
You can start with a face-to-face consultation in London before travelling to Istanbul. If you’re unable to attend in person, online consultations are also available.
How long is recovery after breast augmentation?
Many patients can gradually return to lighter everyday activities during the first couple of weeks, while fuller recovery generally takes several weeks.
Your exact recovery depends on your procedure, implant placement, individual healing and daily activities.
When can I return to work after a boob job?
For non-physical work, some patients may be able to return after approximately 1–2 weeks.
Jobs involving heavy lifting or significant physical activity may require more time.
You should follow the advice provided according to your individual recovery.
Round or teardrop breast implants — which is better?
Neither implant shape is automatically better.
Round and teardrop implants have different characteristics, and suitability depends on factors such as your anatomy, existing breast tissue and desired appearance.
Should breast implants go over or under the muscle?
Both approaches are used in breast augmentation.
The appropriate position depends on your natural breast tissue, chest anatomy, implant characteristics and desired result. Dual-plane placement may also be considered in selected cases.
Can breast implants fix saggy breasts?
Breast implants can restore volume, but they don’t always correct significant breast sagging.
If the breast tissue or nipple position has dropped considerably, a breast lift may be required. Some patients benefit from combining a lift with implants.
What is a mastopexy breast lift?
A mastopexy, commonly called a breast lift or boob lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and raise sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue.
It can be performed alone or combined with breast implants when both lifting and additional volume are desired.
Can I enlarge my breasts using my own fat?
In selected patients, fat grafting to the breast can be used for breast enhancement.
Fat is taken from another area of the body through liposuction, processed and transferred to the breasts. It generally provides a more modest increase in volume than implants and requires sufficient suitable donor fat.
Can fat transfer be combined with breast implants?
In selected cases, yes. Breast implants with fat transfer can combine the volume provided by an implant with targeted fat grafting.
Whether this approach is appropriate depends on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants aren’t considered lifetime devices.
They don’t automatically need replacing after one specific number of years, but they should be monitored and may require removal or replacement in the future because of complications, changes in the breast or personal preference.
Can breast implants be removed later?
Yes. Breast implants can be removed or replaced later if required.
Depending on how the breast tissue and skin have changed, some patients may also consider a breast lift following implant removal.
Will I have scars after breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation requires an incision, so some degree of scarring is expected.
Scar position depends on the surgical approach. Scars generally change and mature over time, although their final appearance varies between individuals.
