Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital

Mastectomy at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey may cost around €17,000 for nipple-preserving mastectomy with reconstruction. The procedure is performed by Prof. Dr. Fatih Aydogan, a breast surgeon with 900+ mastectomies performed and training at Harvard and MD Anderson Cancer Center.

About the Procedure

Prof. Aydogan offers two mastectomy options. The nipple-preserving technique keeps the natural nipple when medically appropriate. The skin-sparing approach prepares the breast for immediate implant reconstruction.

What's Included

  • Surgery with anesthesia
  • 2-day hospital stay
  • Pre-op tests and consultation
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy
  • First follow-up visit
  • Airport transfers

I was left with only positive emotions after the consultation
First of all I would like to thank the Bookimed support team, especially the coordinators for the work they did and putting together the programme in the shortest possible time. I requested an online consultation with a Turkish oncology professor and was pleasantly surprised that within 48 hours after the request my consultation took place. I was left with only positive emotions after the consultation. Special thanks to the coordinator Yulia Voloshchuk and Anya Patarkalashvili!
Excellent organisation and ability to listen and hear individual patient needs .
There's no such experience

"The doctors' approach is good"
Nobody offered us a ward, and if we offered we couldn’t pay it, it’s about 500 dollars a day, the doctors’ approach is good, but I think we should warn the patient about his future expenses and give an alternative for treatment because he’s not ready for such expenses, thereby putting people in an awkward position by themselves, the procedures are very expensive or perhaps it seems to us expensive because we did not quite think about their prices like that. I think when you come to this clinic with a complex form of the disease, you need to have a good wallet, now I don’t have enough pills for treatment because it costs more than $ 1,700, I don’t have that much money, you know what to do after that. Maybe I'm complaining off topic, but it touched me during treatment, it would be nice if the clinic has its own hotel at a more affordable price. We counted on a week and stayed for a month. This is the fee for the room, this is the food for additional expenses that were not considered. Well, something like this, and no one cares about our capabilities.

If you don’t take into account that we weren’t met at the airport at the right time, then everything else is fine
