You wake up after a mastectomy and feel the weight of what has changed physically and emotionally. This major surgical procedure removes the entire breast tissue and is commonly performed to treat breast cancer or reduce the risk in high-risk patients. Experienced breast surgeons handle the procedure using advanced techniques such as skin-sparing or nipple-sparing approaches when medically appropriate, working to preserve as much tissue as possible for those considering reconstruction. The surgery typically lasts two to three hours, and recovery usually takes three to four weeks for basic wound healing, though full adjustment extends over several months.
Turkey has become a destination for patients seeking breast cancer treatment combining surgical expertise with significantly lower costs than Western hospitals. Through Turquie Santé, you receive care from accredited hospitals equipped with modern surgical technology and multidisciplinary teams including oncologists and plastic surgeons. The platform manages your entire pathway: initial consultations, preoperative preparation, the mastectomy itself, and ongoing postoperative support. For patients choosing breast reconstruction, Turquie Santé coordinates this with your breast surgeon to create a seamless treatment plan, whether reconstruction happens immediately or is delayed. Transparent pricing allows you to budget your care, and careful coordination ensures safe medical travel and comfortable recovery away from home.
How much does a mastectomy cost in Turkey ?
The cost of a mastectomy in Turkey typically ranges from €3,000 to €6,000 for a standard procedure, depending on the clinic and hospital, the surgeon's expertise, the type of mastectomy performed, the complexity of the case, and the services included in the medical package.
For patients requiring breast reconstruction, the cost may be higher depending on the technique used. Reconstruction with implants and advanced flap-based techniques, such as DIEP flap reconstruction, can typically range from €5,000 to €10,000 or more, depending on the technique, surgical complexity, and hospital involved.
With Turquie Santé, you're not just getting a price. You're gaining access to trusted hospitals, experienced surgeons, and dedicated support throughout your medical journey. Depending on the treatment plan, medical packages may include the surgical procedure, hospital stay, pre-operative assessments, transfers, and assistance during your stay.
Because every case is different, the most accurate way to determine the final cost is to request a personalized medical quotation based on your medical records, diagnosis, and planned surgical technique.
