About the clinic
Breast capsulectomy at Quartz Clinique in Istanbul, Turkey, is a surgical procedure to remove the scar tissue that forms around breast implants. This treatment helps patients experiencing capsular contracture or implant rupture. The surgery is performed in JCI-accredited facilities like Acıbadem and Memorial hospitals to follow international safety standards.
Indications for Breast Capsulectomy
The surgery is often necessary when the scar tissue around an implant becomes thick or hard. This condition, known as capsular contracture, can cause pain or distort the shape of the breast. Other reasons for the procedure include:
- Implant rupture or leak – Removing the capsule helps clear leaked material.
- Implant size change – The old capsule is removed to fit a new implant.
- Symmetry issues – Adjusting the capsule helps balance the appearance of the breasts.
- Patient preference – Some choose to remove implants and the surrounding tissue permanently.
The Surgical Procedure
Surgeons at Quartz Clinique perform this procedure under general anesthesia. The operation usually lasts between 30 minutes and one hour. The doctor selects the best incision site based on the patient's anatomy and previous surgeries. Common options include an incision under the breast fold, around the nipple, or under the arm.
Dr. Leyla Arvas leads the surgical team with extensive experience in plastic surgery. She holds memberships in international organizations such as ISAPS, EURAPS, and the ASPS. The clinic focuses on personalized plans, starting with a thorough examination to determine the best approach for each patient.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is relatively quick compared to other breast surgeries. Most patients return to their normal daily lives within one to two days. It is common to experience some swelling, bruising, or mild pain during the first week. Doctors recommend using cold compresses and prescribed painkillers to manage these symptoms.
Following the post-operative instructions is vital for a smooth recovery. The clinic provides a specific care plan to help the breast tissue heal and reduce edema. Patients receive guidance on when to resume physical activities and how to monitor their progress. To learn more about treatment options, you may leave a request on Bookimed.

The whole team at the clinic was solid
My biggest worry was the recovery pain, but it turned out to be manageable. At 15 days post-op, it’s mostly just a mild discomfort. The surgeon used an under-the-breast incision and placed the implants under the muscle. The whole team at the clinic was solid. I will say, sleeping is still a struggle and my nipples are slightly numb, but I was prepared for these temporary things. For anyone else considering this, my best recovery hack is to stay on top of your medication schedule. Keep track of your painkillers; don't miss any dose, especially in the beginning. It truly helps.
Transfers, timing, doctor, clinic, communication, reassurance- all of those was great
Language barrier. Interpreter should be present.

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.

Honestly, I couldn't fault anything
If you're considering this, my coordinator stayed in touch and really held my hand through it all. The clinic itself feels like a 5-star hotel; it's very clean and modern, and the staff were attentive and nice. My surgeon, Dr. Aysel Pashazade, was professional but warm. During the consultation, she carefully examined my facial structure and was very clear in explaining where the incisions would be placed. After the surgery and discharge, the team was still there for me. I always got a response back, no matter how late it was, which showed they genuinely care about their work. The only additional expenses I had were for antibiotics and painkillers, which cost next to nothing in Turkey. Honestly, I couldn't fault anything.

Dr Aysel Pashazade was professional but warm and really knows her job. I am very happy. And after my surgery and discharge from the hospital, they were there with me. I always got a response back from them no matter how late it was and that for me was equally important because you knew they genuinely love what they do and want to make a difference

Everything went perfectly
I was initially concerned about the logistics of traveling for a procedure, but the whole experience was very well organized. Everything went perfectly. I’m recovering well without any problems, and I am very satisfied with the treatment and the entire process. The surgeon clearly explained the extraction and implantation steps, which was reassuring. The team was helpful and professional, making it easy to ask any questions before arriving. While post-procedure support has been a little slow to respond, I am still very satisfied. My advice for future patients: follow the clinic’s instructions carefully and bring comfortable button-up shirts.
Hi Everything went perfectly. I’m recovering well without any problems, and I’m very satisfied with the treatment and the whole process. Thank you!

The service provided by the surgeon and the staff was excellent from start to finish
My biggest concern was about the clarity of the process and the final costs. In that respect, everything went well. The medical team were very professional and put me at ease before the procedure, which involved an injection of temporary hyaluronic acid, up to 10 ml. Everything went according to plan. One important thing to note: there were additional costs that weren’t included in the initial payment to the clinic, so you need to allow for that. I’m still at the start of my recovery, but the service provided by the surgeon and the staff was excellent from start to finish.
Très bonne accueil Très professionnel
