Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayhan Işık Erdal, MD, FACS, FEBOPRAS — double board-certified plastic surgeon with 15+ years of experience. Premium implants, personalised surgical planning, full VIP patient journey.
Every breast augmentation is individually planned based on your anatomy, body proportions and aesthetic goals. Dr. Erdal's approach prioritises natural proportions, long-term implant safety and minimal scarring.
Dr. Erdal selects the optimal implant placement for each patient — subfascial, submuscular, dual plane or subglandular — based on your tissue thickness, body proportions and aesthetic goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Dr. Erdal offers a wide range of premium implant brands. The implant brand, size, shape, surface and profile are selected individually for each patient — and you are free to choose the brand you prefer with no additional fee.
The incision is placed in the natural crease beneath the breast. It heals as a thin line that is virtually invisible, even in swimwear. For suitable candidates, a transaxillary (armpit) incision is also available — leaving no scar on the breast at all.
Dr. Erdal performs breast augmentation without suction drains. This means no tubes, no drain removal appointments and a more comfortable recovery from day one.
Most patients return to light daily activities within 3–5 days. Dr. Erdal's meticulous surgical technique minimises tissue trauma, reducing post-operative discomfort and downtime.
Dr. Erdal holds FACS and FEBOPRAS fellowships, with 30+ peer-reviewed publications. He combines surgical expertise with an evidence-based approach.
Every aspect of your implant is selected individually — brand, size, profile, shape and surface texture. Here's what to know about the options.
Round implants provide fullness in the upper pole and a classic, symmetrical look. Anatomical (teardrop / gummy bear) implants mimic the natural breast shape with more projection at the lower pole. Dr. Erdal recommends the shape best suited to your anatomy and goals.
Implant surfaces include smooth, microtextured, textured and polyurethane-coated options. Each surface type has distinct characteristics regarding tissue integration, capsular contracture risk and implant stability. Dr. Erdal will explain the advantages of each option during your consultation.
Silicone gel implants (cohesive gel) are the most popular choice worldwide — they feel natural and maintain their shape. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater after insertion, allowing a smaller incision. Both options are available.
Implant size (measured in cc) is chosen based on your chest width, tissue thickness and desired outcome — not by cup size alone. Low, moderate, moderate-plus, high and extra-high profiles are available. Higher profile means more forward projection for the same base width.
Dr. Erdal works with a wide range of premium implant brands. You are free to choose the brand you prefer — at no additional cost. During your consultation, Dr. Erdal will help you select the ideal combination of brand, shape, surface and size for your goals.
All implants used meet the highest international safety standards. Most leading brands offer manufacturer lifetime warranties for added peace of mind. Dr. Erdal will discuss the specific warranty terms of your chosen implant during consultation.
Dr. Erdal selects the optimal implant placement individually for each patient based on tissue thickness, anatomy and aesthetic goals. In his practice, subfascial and dual plane techniques are most frequently preferred — but the best option is always the one tailored to you.
