ABOUT PECTORAL IMPLANT IN TURKEY
For the pec implants in Turkey hospitals apart from improving the person appearance, the surgery is done on an outpatient basis and takes between 1-2 hours to perform, using general anesthesia so the patient is put to sleep during the procedure. The surgery will start with the surgeon creating incisions in the crease of the armpit, then under each pectoral muscle a large enough pocket will be created for the implants to be placed. Once the implants are placed the surgeon will check how it looks and make the final adjustments needed. Finally, the incisions will be closed with sutures and a compression garment will be worn over the treated area. If desired the patient is able to undergo other surgeries along with Pec implants such as Liposuction and Botox.
