Armpit breast augmentation in Turkey for US patients
Patients from the USA 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: 10–12 hour direct flights from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami; 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 primary-care physician; 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
US fees are billed in parts — surgeon, facility, anaesthesia, implants — and the transaxillary route, once popular for saline implants, is now offered endoscopically by a minority of surgeons. Dr. Erdal is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the credential US patients can verify most easily. 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 primary-care physician 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
