Breast Augmentation in Iran: All You Need to Know

Just like other types of plastic surgery, breast augmentation is increasingly gaining ground in Iran. In fact, as the country comes up with effective yet affordable medical services, well-versed surgeons, and satisfactory outcomes, you can get your surgery done here with ease.

Read on to find out why Iran is a good destination for this surgery, how the surgery is performed, how much it costs and the like.

Is Iran a Good Destination for Getting Breast Augmentation?

If you want to undergo breast surgery, but haven’t decided where to do the procedure, read this section carefully. Here, we give you five reasons for picking up ‘Iran’ as your breast surgery destination.

1) Augmentation mammoplasty is among the top 5 cosmetic procedures in Iran

Iran has beaten other countries to rank among the top 10 countries in terms of the number of cosmetic procedures performed. Up to 200,000 cosmetic surgeries are performed in Iran annually. In the recent decade, breast enlargement surgery has also seen a significant rise in the country.

A study published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery states that breast augmentation is among the top 5 cosmetic procedures done in Iran. Accordingly, Iranian surgeons have earned deeper insights into this operation, and the procedure outcomes are satisfactory.

2) Iranian surgeons are board-certified and highly experienced

Considering the new wave of interest in cosmetic procedures, various countries are claiming that they offer effective plastic surgeries. The fact is that every doctor graduated from a medical university may claim this. But the efficiency is only found at the hands of experienced surgeons.

As a dramatic surge in the demand for beauty and cosmetic surgeries has swept through the country, Iranian surgeons have gained the necessary experience to perform this plastic surgery at its best.

Further to this, the majority of Iranian plastic surgeons are board-certified, being a member of the Iranian Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, or the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Therefore, knowledge and experience are the two main assets of Iranian plastic surgeons.

3) Iran is one of the cheapest countries for breast surgery

In Iran, you can get your surgery done with the least possible amount of money. The cost is considerably lower than in many other countries around the world. If you’re living in a place with a high cost of surgery, it would be reasonable to fly to Iran to get your boob job done at a cost 2-4 times lower than the cost you would have to pay in other places. (To see the exact prices, go to section ‘cost of breast augmentation in Iran’.)

4) Iran enjoys top-quality medical services

Regardless of what most people may think of Iran’s medical system, the reality of medical services in Iran would surprise you. Clean and super-organized clinics, hospitals and doctors’ offices equipped with high technology facilities would assure you of the right choice you made about your surgery destination.

5) Iran is a great tourist destination to travel to!

It’s not possible to see the exotic land of Persia and not fall in love with the history, myths, architecture, Islamic arabesque patterns, local people, and Persian dishes! This may seem like a bit of a stretch in the first place, but having a look at Iran’s tourist attractions and foreign travelers’ experience in the country would convince you easily.

Cost of Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift In Iran

For medical/cosmetic surgeries, money talks louder than any other factor anywhere in the whole world, except in Iran. With the low cost of breast implants, Iran is regarded as an ambitious competitor on the battlefield of attracting international patients from all over the world.

Breast augmentation surgery costs around $3000 or more in Iran (including doctor visit, clinic, anesthesia, post-op recovery, follow-up, etc.). This is while the cost of the same procedure would amount up to $10,000 in the UK, $12,000 in Australia, $7,000 in Canada, $4,000 in Thailand, $6,000 in the USA and $4,500 in Turkey.

Compare the cost of getting breast implants in Iran with other countries.

The low cost of surgery is not limited to breast augmentation. Breast lift surgery is another highly prevalent procedure that is performed in Iran at exceedingly low prices. Breast lift surgery can cost just as low as breast implants surgery. What’s more, the combination of surgeries (also known as breast augmentation/pexy) can cost between $3000 to $5000.

On Breast Augmentation Procedure:

Breast augmentation also referred to as breast implants or augmentation mammoplasty (and informally called breast aug or boob job) is a plastic surgery aimed at increasing the size, changing the shape, and restoring the symmetry of the breasts of a woman.

Breast augmentation is usually performed on breasts with a naturally small size or those which have lost their volume due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging. The surgery involves the placement of implants into breasts.

Within the broader category, a type of breast augmentation surgery known as breast reconstruction is used to create artificial breasts for those who had one or both of their breasts removed (mastectomy).

Breast lift surgery

Breast lift is another breast enhancement method that entails removing sagging skin and tissue to provide a perkier and more protruding look. This surgery, too, aims at offering a more youthful appearance.

Sometimes, to enhance the results of breast implants surgery, a breast lift is performed in conjunction with breast augmentation. However, it can provide satisfactory results on its own as well.

How to prepare for breast augmentation surgery

As with any other type of surgical procedure, breast enhancement surgery preparation requires you to be in a healthy state, both physically and mentally. Try to have sound nutrition and exercise regularly.

You should also make sure that you’re not exposed to too much stress. That is why it is important to have a medical tourism facilitator (i.e. AriaMedTour) by your side to simplify the process for you.

You should also follow your doctor’s instructions which usually include the following:

  • Avoiding certain medications and drugs (such as blood thinners) that could hinder the recovery process,
  • Avoiding smoking and drinking alcohol for at least 2 weeks before the operation,
  • Preparing the required lab tests,
  • Getting time off work (To get your surgery done in Iran, you will need around 1-2 weeks),
  • Packing necessary items including comfortable clothing for the day of surgery.

How is Breast Augmentation Performed?

Breast implants in Iran are done in a modern clinic or hospital under the knives of skilled and board-certified surgeons. You may receive either general or local anesthesia for the surgery.

The surgery involves inserting implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle. This comprises a number of steps:

  • Making Incisions

Depending on the anatomy of your breasts and your desired shape, different incisions may be made along the areolar edge (peri-areolar incision), in the fold under the breast (crease or inframammary incision), in the armpit (axillary incision), or above the belly button (trans-umbilical incision).

  • Removing Excess Skin (when needed)

If you are to receive a breast lift along with breast implants surgery, the uplifting process usually takes place at this point. It involves removing some excess skin and tissue depending on the extent of the droopiness.

  • Inserting Implants

Implants are inserted through the incisions and are positioned either under the pectoral muscle or behind the breast tissue.

  • Closing Incisions

Incisions in the breast tissue are closed with absorbable suture. The skin incisions are closed with sutures or medical adhesive tapes.

The procedure takes around 1-1.5 hours.  you’ll be able to leave the hospital on the same day of surgery.

Restoring Breast Symmetry with Breast Augmentation

In breast implant surgery, in addition to increasing breast size by using breast prosthesis, the asymmetry in breast size can also be fixed.

Surgeons who diagnose asymmetry in the cases who request breast implantation in clinical examination generally do not use a pair of prostheses of the same size.

breast asymmetry fixing by breast augmentation in Iran

Breast asymmetry can be restored during breast augmentation surgery.

In fact, for the side where the breast tissue has a smaller volume, they select silicone with a larger volume, and for the side where the breast tissue has more volume, they select silicone with less volume. This is how competent and experienced doctors do.

Generally, asymmetry in standard breasts is about 20-40 cc. This difference is more than 50 cc only in cases where the patient has a history of breastfeeding on one side of the breast or performing breast removal surgery on one side.

In fact, in addition to increasing the patient’s breast volume, the patient is given additional beauty by creating symmetry in the final volume of the breast.

Due to insufficient experience, some doctors use the same silicone size for both breasts in all cases of breast implantation, and the end result of these surgeries is having two larger but asymmetrical breasts.

What to Expect Immediately after the Operation?

Immediately after the implantation, you will see the results of your breast enhancement surgery. To see the final results, however, you should wait for a few weeks until the swelling subsides, the skin stretches, and the wounds heal.

How is breast enhancement recovery like?

The healing process after getting breast implants takes around 10-14 days. Light bleeding may occur during the first days after the surgery. Do not fret about it and do what your doctor has instructed. During the first five days of the recovery period, you may feel acute pain which will subside gradually.

Bruising, swelling, and skin sensitivity are normal during and maybe sometime after this period. You’ll need to reduce your physical activities during this time. After that, you’ll be back on the track, and will resume your normal life again.

Breast lift surgery’s recovery is a few days shorter than breast implants. Still, the physical activity restrictions apply to this procedure as well.

Types of Breast Implants Used in Iran

Breast implants are prostheses used to change the size, shape, and contour of the breasts. They can be either silicone or saline implants. Saline implants are applied for women with the age of 18 and older, while silicone implants are applied for those aged 22 and older.

The type of implants used in your breast has a great impact on your breast shape and appearance. In Iran, FDA-approved mentor implants are used for a successful boob job.

Mentor implants are proved to be one of the safest and most effective implants. They make for a satisfaction rate of above 95% in patients undergoing a reconstructive or cosmetic breast surgery.

A study on 1,898 mentor implants used during 6 years indicates that the rupture rate for breast enlargement surgery was 1.1% and capsular contracture rates were 9.8%. This indicates how effective mentor implants really are. Therefore, you can rest assured that you’re going to get the most effective results out of your surgery in Iran.

Round Silicone vs anatomical (teardrop) Breast Implants

When you want to have breast augmentation surgery, choosing the shape can be a bit difficult. It is not easy to choose between round silicone and anatomical (teardrop) breast implants. However, knowing more about both can help you make your decision.

Round silicone implants were the first type of breast implants to be used for breast augmentation. Round silicone implants have a symmetrical round shape. Therefore they make the upper pole fuller.

On the other hand, anatomical breast implants have a different shape that looks more like a teardrop. Teardrop implants are bigger at the bottom and tinier from above. Anatomical breast implants mimic the shape of the natural breast better than round implants, sometimes they are used to correct mild ptosis along with breast augmentation.

Both round and anatomical implants can be filled with saline or silicone. Choosing implants with saline will make you able to have smaller incisions as they can be filled after they are implanted. Silicone implants have a thicker filling and provide a feeling of an actual breast. Anatomical implants can be also filled with a silicone gel which is even firmer than usual silicone implants.

There are a lot of differences between round implants and teardrop implants, including:

  1. Even though the results of the breast augmentation depend on many factors like the type of filling and the size of the implants, teardrop implants tend to give the patients a more natural look than round implants.
  2. Teardrop implants can be customized to your features, where anatomical implants come in several sizes, heights, widths, and volumes.
  3. The prices of round implants are usually less than the cost of anatomical implants.
  4. Round implants are better if want to make the upper pole appear fuller.
  5. There is a risk of rotation with teardrop implants. Teardrop implants are not symmetrical like the round ones so they need to stay in a certain way.
  6. The incisions needed when performing breast augmentation with anatomical teardrop implants are larger than the ones needed for the round implants of the same size. This is due to the shaped shell of the anatomical implant.
  7. The risk of capsular contracture is greater with smoother implants, so capsular contraction is more common with round implants.
  8. Teardrop implants are better for women who have petite bodies and do not have a lot of breast tissues. Anatomical teardrop implants will give them a more natural look after the surgery.

Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer

Fat transfer is another method applicable as a breast enhancement procedure. This method uses the patient’s own fat to increase breast size. Fat is obtained from one part of the body and injected into the breasts. This method is used for those who want to have a small improvement/enhancement in their breasts. For more information on this subject, read our detailed article on ‘Fat Transfer’.

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentation

Augmentation mammoplasty can be the right thing for you if:

  • You have fully developed breasts which do not have your desired size and shape
  • Your breasts have lost their volume due to aging or something
  • You’re losing self-confidence and feel less feminine because of your small breasts
  • Your breasts are asymmetrical

Above all, you need to be healthy and not to be breastfeeding or pregnant at the time of surgery.

According to the reports, augmentation mammoplasty is a safe procedure. In fact, there are two types of risks that may question the safety of this procedure: minor and major complications. Minor complications are those which may happen after any surgery. They include pain, soreness, swelling, infection, adverse reaction to the anesthesia, etc. No need to worry, however, as they are temporary and can be avoided or managed easily.

The second group is the major risks associated with breast implants. They include implant rupture, loss of nipple sensitivity, and capsular contracture (tightening of the breast tissue). They are rarely observed (below 5%) and can be managed in case of occurrence.

Post-operative scars are one of the main concerns for those who are considering breast implants. The implants are placed into the breast through making incisions. So, it may leave scars on your body. However, the good news is that the scars remain under the breast so that they won’t be visible. Moreover, after around one year, the scars would blend, leaving no significant trace on your skin.

Breast implants are long-lasting but can’t be regarded as ‘permanent’. Most implants last for more than 20 years without any problem. However, some women may need to repair or replace their implants after 8-10 years. This is required in case the person faces any complications or when the implant is dislocated.

Breast implants surgery is not as painful as it may seem. If the surgeon handles the procedure well, you’ll recover with the least possible pain. However, you may feel some kind of pain, discomfort, and tightness a few days after the surgery. Sometimes, you may also experience a sharp pain in your breast, and your nipples may be a little bit sore for up to two weeks. In case of severe pain, you’ll be allowed to take pain-relief medications.

Whether to wear a bra or not is one of the women’s questions when they’re going to have breast surgery. Although the public opinion is against wearing a bra after the surgery, some doctors may allow wearing a sport or post-operation bra. After the surgery, implants need some time to fit in. So, it is recommended not to wear a bra a few days after the operation to help reduce the recovery period.

With a reliable medical tourism facilitator, it would be easy to have your breast augmentation surgery done in Iran. We, at AriaMedTour, are ready to help you with the whole procedure from getting your visa to booking your surgery with a proficient plastic surgeon in the country. You just need to fill in the below/above form and we’ll do the rest.

I’m 17 years old and have got very small breasts. I feel really insecure and am seriously thinking about getting a breast augmentation. Although i’m quite sure they won’t get any bigger considering my genetics (my mum and my sister both have small sizes), i am wondering when breasts reach their full maturity and stop developing. Is it possible that they still grow larger? And when can i have breast augmentation surgery?

Breasts fully develop by the late teenage years and even early twenties (usually 18-21 is when glandular enlargement of the breasts stops). This is why surgeons usually ask people considering breast surgery to wait until that age. However, breasts do keep changing as women age, go through pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight gain/loss. While your breasts may not grow as large as you desire, I recommend you still wait for your breasts to fully develop. Moreover, make sure you have a consultation with your surgeon to consider all the above mentioned factors before undergoing surgery.

My breasts are very small and i am considering ways to make them bigger. I was going to have breast augmentation surgery but when i was trying to search about its different techniques, i came across advertisements about some pills and creams helping the breasts grow larger. I really need to know if they are effective and can cause a significant size difference to replace surgery. As they seem less expensive and of course less invasive than a surgical solution. But i am also really concerned about their side effects. I mean they probably mess with my hormone system. Is it gonna be dangerous? What is the best option for enlarging my breasts?

No. Medications such as pills and creams have not been proven scientifically to increase breast size. Moreover, they come with different side effects which may hurt you in other ways. The only proven way to enlarge breasts is surgical breast enhancement which could be done through an implant or fat transfer (removing fat from one area and adding it to the breasts). While implant sizes could be precisely chosen before the surgery which gives you a clear idea of how large your breasts will look after the surgery, this is not the case with fat transfer as a great portion of the fat transferred to the breasts (about 50% on average) will be lost in the first year. So the size is not exactly predictable and the surgeons usually need to add more fat than required so the final result will become closer to what you expect. Still, you can expect a significant change in your breast size which remains for a lifetime. On the other hand, the fat transfer method comes with the benefit of getting rid of unwanted fat in other parts of the body such as the thighs or belly. To see which procedure best matches your goals and expectations, a thorough consultation with your surgeon can really help. Meanwhile, I would seriously recommend you stay away from so-called “magic pills”.

When can I change my sleeping position after breast implant surgery? I had breast augmentation surgery using a silicone implant under the muscle with a periareolar incision about a month ago and have been sleeping on my back since then. But i am normally into the habit of sleeping on my side and even my stomach sometimes. I don’t have any pain right now but i am afraid if i sleep on my sides or stomach it will be painful or it will hurt my new breasts; implant displacement or rupture. When can i safely change my sleeping position or at least move to the sides sometimes as I sleep?

Thank you for your questions. I understand that it might be difficult to sleep on your back for a long time but exercise can help you as you need to follow this rule for at least 6 weeks. It is important for healing properly and for the implants to settle into their place, reducing the risk of deformation, displacement, and capsular contracture. While you can then gradually start sleeping on your side and stomach when feeling comfortable and healed, I still recommend you avoid sleeping on the stomach and try to stick to sleeping on the back as long as you can and as much as possible since it prevents pressure on your chest as well as face and neck and generally reduces the formation of wrinkles on the skin and signs of aging.

I had breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants 10 days ago. I also had my post-op visit a few days ago. Everything is fine except that my surgeon didn’t tell me anything about massaging my breasts. But apparently, surgeons instruct a special kind of massage to their patients so they can apply it one week after the surgery. How should i do it? Or is it ok if i don’t?

While some surgeons recommend massages after breast implant surgery, believing it reduces the risk of capsular contracture, there is not enough evidence that it does. Therefore, it’s not a must and this instruction kind of depends on the surgeons’ preferences. Occasionally, they may think such gentle movements can help the implants settle into a more natural position and give you the proper instruction on how and when to do it. So don’t worry about it. However, you can discuss it with your surgeon on your next visit.

No. it is not scientifically proven that they can enlarge breasts. While such techniques may create a temporary enlargement due to swelling, they won’t be an effective method to increase breast size. Natural factors affecting breast size are genetics, hormones, pregnancy, breastfeeding, gain weight/loss, and aging. If you’re looking for surgical options that provide guaranteed long-lasting breast enlargement you can consider breast implants, fat transfer, or a combination of both. You can have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss each method’s pros and cons and choose the one that matches you best.
