Armpit breast augmentation in Turkey for German patients

By Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayhan Işık Erdal, MD, FACS, FEBOPRAS · Updated October 2026

Patients from the Germany make up a large share of Dr. Erdal's international practice. Here is what the trip involves and how to compare like with like.

For German patients — five facts

Why patients travel for this operation

German private fees for Brustvergrößerung rarely bundle implants, hospital, anaesthesia and follow-ups, and the transaxillary (achselhöhle) route is a niche offering. Dr. Erdal holds FEBOPRAS — the same European board German plastic surgeons sit. Standards are verifiable on the credentials page.

The trip, honestly

5–7 nights. Day 1 arrival, sizers and marking; day 2 surgery; days 3–5 in a recovery suite with daily checks; day 5–7 fit-to-fly and home. The journey page covers each day.

Aftercare when you're home

Remote follow-up with Dr. Erdal through the first year, WhatsApp for any wound question, your Hausarzt for routine checks, and the implant manufacturer's warranty registered in your name. Travel insurance rarely covers elective surgery abroad — read your policy.

Comparing quotes: implant brand and model named? endoscopic technique? who operates and where? revision policy in writing? Then compare against the itemised home-country fee — not the headline number.

Questions patients ask

Is it safe to have breast augmentation in Turkey as a German patient?

With a verifiable plastic surgeon in an accredited hospital using named, approved implants, yes — the same operation to the same standard. The added consideration is travel, which the plan accounts for.

What about follow-up when I'm home?

Photo and video follow-ups with Dr. Erdal through the first year; wound questions answered the same day on WhatsApp; your own doctor for routine checks.

Is the implant warranty valid at home?

Yes — manufacturer warranties from the established brands are international and registered to you with implant cards.
