Breast enlargement in Turkey or breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery for increasing the size of breasts with breast implants or fat transferred from other parts of the body.It can also be performed for altering the shape of breasts or diminishing any asymmetry in breast size.
Breast implants
Breast implants can be roughly divided into two categories: saline-filled and silicone gel-filled breast implants.
Saline implants have silicone shells which are filled with saline, i.e. sterile salt water.
Silicone gel implants have silicone shells which are filled with silicone, a plastic gel. These implants entail more risk in the case of an implant rupture in comparison to saline implants,but generally feel more natural.The shells of both types of implants can be smooth or textured depending on the patient’s preference.

The following might be asked of you before having your breast enlargement:
- Getting tests for medical evaluation
- Abstaining from nicotine
- Abstaining from aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs
- Abstaining from recreational drugs
- Taking specific medications or adjusting current medication
