My girlfriend had breast augmentation with Dr. Mete in May 2024, and it’s been 2 months. We really love the results. What a professional team! Thanks to my medical consultant, Joey, for helping us through everything.

I had a wonderful experience at academy clinic, the staff were all exceptionally professional and the service is just at a very high standard and I am not someone who is easy to please. The hotel is perfect, with a spacious lounge area, washing machine and fully functional kitchen. The hospital is very modern and clean with nurses attending to all my needs around the clock. I don’t usually write long reviews but I really had a great experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone! ❤️ Once again, I would like to say thank you to all the staff, nurses and doctors who have looked after me during my stay.
Had a great experience from the minute i landed, everyone was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, can’t thank my 2 nurses enough from being in the hospital and hotel, kept reassuring me when was needed, especially being so far from home, definitely made the right choice with choosing academy clinic.. only thing i would say was hard was the language barrier but that’s excepted to come to there country, nothing google translate doesn’t help with x
Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!
From the initial enquiry, through booking, surgery and post operative care badge were extremely helpful and reassuring.
The hospital was clean and comfortable and were accommodating to both myself and my companion.
Dr Mete listened to what I wanted whilst offering his professional opinion and giving me the results that I was looking for.
My coordinator Şevval were always on hand regardless of the time of day, to answer any queries, concerns or basic questions I had. No query was to pig or to small.
My hotel nurse Beyza was extremely friendly and so helpful in my aftercare. Again no query or request was to big or to small. She checked on me a few times a day each day and was always available through the WhatsApp group. She made my after care stay so much more comfortable.
Even after I have returned home they are still in contact to offer support and ensure everything is going well.
I would definitely recommend academy clinic for anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. I myself was recommended badge and I am so glad I chose them. My procedures were a fraction of the cost of the UK but this did not take away from the level of care and support that was provided
I had a hair transplant a week ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me through the process than academy clinic. The transfers from the airport to the hotel to the clinic were great.
academy clinic is great I had breast augmentation done here in Istanbul
They have been very helpful from airport transfer to having surgery done.
The nurses at the hospital was lovely and helpful.
My experience with The academy clinic has been amazing- everyone that I have spoken to have been so kind, thoughtful and patient. I had a surgery in the UK 5 years ago and I am much happier with my result and the whole process this time around. I would recommend The academy clinic to anyone!
Everything was amazing, the place is facing galata tower so we had the best view , and the san sebastian was very delicious, the staff was also amazing especially Ayman.
academy clinic get 5 stars and more for me. In my opinion there is no other clinic I would go to now. This is my second visit to academy clinic. I previously came for breast augmentation in 2020 so when I decided I wanted a tummy tuck and lipo, there was no other clinic I trusted. Dr Burak and his team are absolutely brilliant at what they do and I’m so impressed with my latest procedure. Their aftercare team is second to none and nothing is too much for these guys. They definitely go that extra mile to make you feel welcome and at ease. Love you guys, can’t wait to come back next year for even more procedures! ❤️❤️
Excellent customer care from Nesrine and Miray. I am very happy with service I received- my new nose looks amazing. Nurse Team was always available and ready to assist. Nesrine who was my medical coordinator went above and beyond to help me out, she even done shopping for me when I couldn’t go out from the hospital! I felt like I was a part of a family rather than just a client. Everyone was professional and so supportive. I will definitely be coming back to academy clinic in the future! Thank you
Je recommande cette clinique à 100 % tout était très propre et le personnel a vraiment été présent du début jusqu’à la fin. Une prise en charge dès la sortie de l’aéroport on ne se sent jamais seul même si on vient seul sur place des traducteurs sont là pour vous aider et des infirmiers sont là pour s’occuper de vous. Que vous soyez à l’hôtel ou à l’hôpital personne ne vous laisse sans réponse vous êtes vraiment accompagné du début jusqu’à la fin. Je suis très satisfaite de mon expérience chez badge clinique chaque petit désaccord a été réglé quasiment instantanément par ma coordinatrice Nisrine car ils ont une très bonne communication. Pour résumer je vous dirai que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés vous ne serez pas déçu ni de votre prise en charge ni du résultat de votre opération.
I had breast augmentation with academy clinic. The experience from start to finish has been very smooth. The hospital is very clean and staff as helpful as can be. Slight language barrier with some nurses but was fine overall. Very happy with my results and would recommend to anyone thinking about coming to Turkey for the same surgery.
I had a really positive experience from start to finish. Everything was so easy to book, and the whole process was organised really well. As soon as I arrived in Turkey, I was picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hotel, …

I got a breast augmentation and otoplasty with Dr Mete. He was very friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for. I am very happy with my results so far. The nurses were also very friendly and helpful.
5 stars 💫
I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at academy clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at academy clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend academy clinic to anyone considering these procedures.

What is Breast Implant Replacement?
Over time, breast implants may need replacement because of natural aging, lifestyle changes, or implant-related issues. Common reasons for replacement include:
- Desire for a different size or shape
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant)
- Implant shifting or asymmetry
- Upgrading to newer, safer implant models
The goal of implant replacement is to improve aesthetics while maintaining or enhancing breast health and harmony.
How is Breast Implant Replacement Performed?
The surgery typically involves:
Consultation & Planning: Discussion of patient goals and implant options.
Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia.
Incision: Surgeons often use the same incision site as the original surgery.
Implant Removal & Replacement: Old implants are removed, and new ones are inserted.
Closing Incisions & Recovery: Sutures are applied, and recovery begins.
The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, and most patients can go home the same day.
Advantages of Breast Implant Replacement
- Refreshes and improves the appearance of breasts
- Addresses complications such as rupture or contracture
- Allows adjustment of implant size, shape, or type
- Utilizes advanced and safer implant technology
- Restores comfort, symmetry, and natural results
Recovery After Breast Implant Replacement
Recovery is generally quicker than the first breast augmentation surgery. Patients can usually resume light activities within a week. Recommendations include:
- Wearing a supportive surgical bra
- Avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
- Following prescribed aftercare and attending follow-up appointments
Final results are typically visible after swelling subsides, around 6–8 weeks post-surgery.
Risks and Considerations
While breast implant replacement is safe, possible risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Pain or discomfort during recovery
- Capsular contracture recurrence (rare)
- Implant rupture in the future (rare)
- Need for further revision in certain cases
At Academy Health, we use advanced surgical methods and high-quality implants to minimize risks and ensure patient satisfaction.
