Alanna's Story: From Doubts to Confidence
Alanna, a 29-year-old from the United States, had always been confident in her body. However, after two pregnancies, she noticed changes that affected her self-image, especially her breasts. She felt that a breast lift and breast augmentation with tear drop implants would restore balance and enhance her natural shape.
"I wanted natural-looking implants after two pregnancies. I didn't just want fullness, but a shape that looked as close to my natural curves as possible."
At first, Alanna felt uncertain about the procedure, especially when considering teardrop implants vs round implants. She reached out to Bookimed, seeking personalized advice and expert guidance on implant types and sizing.

He has performed over 1,100 treatments, specializing in breast augmentation surgeries with tear drop implants. His expertise and thoughtful approach made Alanna feel confident in her choice.
"Dr. Cekic was amazing. He explained everything in detail and made sure I was comfortable with the plan for my procedure."
The Breast Augmentation Procedure
"The surgery took about 2 hours. Recovery was easy, just some armpit soreness."
On the day of the surgery, Alanna felt a mix of nerves and excitement. The procedure itself lasted about two hours, and Dr. Cekic used Mentor breast implants, chosen for their natural feel and shape. The breast augmentation went smoothly, and Alanna's surgery was completed without complications.
Breast Augmentation Recovery: What to Expect
Alanna's breast augmentation recovery was straightforward, with minimal discomfort. She was advised to wear a surgical bra for 3 weeks and restrict her activity for the first few days.
After 24 hours, she was up and walking around, and within a few days, she was already able to explore the city of Istanbul. Her recovery was mostly limited to soreness under the arms for a few days.
"Having a translator helped a lot, and most of my questions were answered. The support from everyone made the recovery process so much easier."
The translator provided invaluable support, ensuring that Alanna felt comfortable and informed at every stage. From helping her communicate with medical staff to ensuring she fully understood post-surgery instructions, the language assistance made the experience more seamless and less stressful.
Teardrop Implants: A Natural Transformation
The teardrop-shaped breast implants offered subtle fullness with a tapered bottom, giving her the desired natural contour.
Mentor tear drop implants mimic the natural slope of the breast, making them the preferred option for those seeking a more realistic appearance.
Alanna was thrilled with the results and immediately felt a boost in confidence.
"I'm really happy with how it all went. Thanks to Bookimed."
