About the clinic
Breast reduction surgery at Elixirmed Clinic in Istanbul helps women find relief from the physical and emotional discomfort of large breasts. This procedure removes excess fat, tissue, and skin to create a breast size in proportion with your body. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government and treats over 4,000 patients every year.
Expert Surgical Care
Dr. Ahmet El leads the surgical team at Elixirmed Clinic. He is a plastic surgeon with over 5 years of experience and has performed 1,000+ procedures. Dr. Ahmet El holds a certificate from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). He uses a keyhole incision method around the areola. This technique helps achieve a natural breast shape while keeping visible scars to a minimum. The surgery typically lasts between 2 and 5 hours under general anesthesia.
Preparation and Procedure
Before the surgery, patients must follow specific safety steps. You should quit smoking and arrange for a companion to help you at home. It is also helpful to prepare meals and clear your schedule for the first few days of rest. During the operation, the surgeon removes excess tissue and repositions the nipple to a higher, more youthful level. The clinic follows safety standards recognized by the European Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ESAPS).
Recovery and Aftercare
The healing process requires patience and following a structured plan. You will wear elastic bandages or a special surgical bra to support the chest. Most patients can return to work within 10 to 14 days, depending on their job duties. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated area.
- Suture removal usually happens after 1 or 2 weeks.
- Physical activity like heavy lifting or exercise must be avoided during early healing.
- Full recovery can take up to 1 year for all swelling to disappear completely.
- Skin care with moisturizers helps manage bruising, but you must avoid the incision lines.

I am satisfied with everything and I am glad that I chose this clinic
Wonderful team.
Mustafa - interpreter-coordinator organised everything as conveniently as possible. He was always on the phone, ready to solve any issue.
The whole trip: from the transfer at the airport to the first result of the operation - just top.
The transfer, the hotel where I was accommodated, the hospital and its hospital room - excellent.
Attentive medical staff. Not all nurses spoke English but were always willing to help, used the translator on the phone.
The doctor is energetic, understanding and speaks English, so there were no problems with communication.
I am satisfied with everything and I am glad that I chose this clinic.

I liked that they let me stay in the hospital longer - this made things safer
Liked that they let me stay in Hospital
Longer - this made things safer
I was told my medicine would be included but was a little
Annoyed I had to go withdraw money to get my medicine for after care, especially after surgery when walking was a major issue after surgery (I got very faint)
I ended up organising my own massages post op as I was told double the price of my original pricing for the massage
My aftercare was a little bad. Mixed opinions on diffrent things .
Saw a few things that could’ve been done better

The doctor didn’t listen to my request/wishes for surgery and still did his own thing. My result came out horribly. Except the breast lift part was done very well. And after all the pain it wasn’t worth going. The nurses stayed on their phones all day. At times I was left for hours without assistance. I had to google translate for them to put on gloves. Yet they still would not listen to me before they placed my IV or handled blood without gloves. If you don’t speak Turkish it’s not worth it!

Dear Amynah,
We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointment and the experience you had during your time with us. We always strive to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible, and it is disheartening to hear that you felt this was not the case.
Regarding your concerns:
Surgical Outcome: The doctor explained before the surgery that the amount of fat available was not sufficient to achieve your desired results, and pushing beyond safe limits could lead to complications. We prioritize your safety above all else, which is why the doctor made recommendations based on what was best for you. We are, however, pleased that you were satisfied with the breast lift results.
Nursing Care: We understand your concerns regarding communication with the nursing staff. While it’s true that not all nurses may be fluent in English, we make sure that a translator and your doctor are available to address your concerns. That being said, it is unacceptable if proper protocol, such as using gloves, was not followed, and we will be addressing this with our team to ensure that such issues do not occur again.
Translation Support: Our translator was present before and after your surgery, and we are proud to offer this service to ensure that communication is clear. We even made ourselves available when you reached out late at night, because your comfort and understanding are important to us.
Lastly, as a gesture of goodwill, we provided you with 1 unit of blood free of charge during your treatment, as we are committed to ensuring your well-being.
We are always open to further discussion about your experience and would be happy to address any lingering concerns. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Best regards,
VMH Hospitals
