Armpit breast augmentation in Turkey for UK patients
Patients from the UK make up a large share of Dr. Erdal's international practice. Here is what the trip involves and how to compare like with like.
- Getting here: 3.5–4 hour direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Dublin; airport transfers included.
- Stay: 5–7 nights — sizers and marking on day 1, surgery on day 2, fit-to-fly check on the final day.
- Aftercare at home: remote photo follow-ups with Dr. Erdal through the first year; routine checks with your NHS GP; implant warranty registered to you.
- Credentials you can verify: FACS and FEBOPRAS — the same boards home-country plastic surgeons hold.
- Written quote: all-inclusive, naming the implant brand and model, issued after a photo assessment.
Why patients travel for this operation
UK private fees for breast augmentation rarely include implants, facility, anaesthetist and follow-ups in one figure, and endoscopic transaxillary augmentation is offered by relatively few UK surgeons. UK plastic surgeons sit the same European board (FEBOPRAS) Dr. Erdal holds. 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 NHS GP 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
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.
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.
