Explore →What happens during FTM top surgery in Turkey?
FTM top surgery in Turkey removes breast tissue and shapes a flat, masculine chest. In Istanbul the operation usually takes 2 to 4 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by 1 to 2 days in hospital, and most patients stay around a week so the surgeon can check them before they fly home.
Neda Deniz Health Tourism Agency arranges top surgery in Istanbul for trans men and non-binary people from the UK, Europe and the US with our partner surgeon Dr. M. Serkan Dinar. Techniques, eligibility and recovery are covered step by step on our FTM top surgery in Turkey page.
Double incision
Usually the choice for larger chests. It gives excellent contouring and leaves visible scars along the lower chest.
Keyhole and periareolar
Generally suited to smaller chests. Keyhole uses small incisions; periareolar leaves less scarring but may not achieve the same contouring as double incision. Read our keyhole top surgery guide.
Before you book
Requirements such as hormone therapy or a support letter differ between surgeons. We check your documents against WPATH SOC 8; our guide to eligibility and support letters explains what to prepare.
Hospital and first days
You stay in hospital for 1 to 2 days for observation, with pain management, wound care and drain removal, and leave with a personal recovery plan.
Recovery
Initial recovery takes about 2 to 4 weeks; scars and the final shape of your chest can take up to a year to settle. See the top surgery results timeline.
Cost
As a guide, the surgery fee for FTM top surgery in Turkey typically ranges from $3,500 to $5,000, with anaesthesia at $500 to $700. Your own price comes as a written quote; see how much top surgery costs in Turkey.

Which MTF surgeries can you have in Turkey?
For trans women, Neda Agency arranges MTF surgery in Istanbul: vaginoplasty, breast augmentation (MTF top surgery), facial feminisation surgery and voice feminisation surgery. Each one starts with a free online consultation; a partner surgeon reviews your case, and you receive your plan and a written quote before you book anything.
Vaginoplasty
Penile inversion is the most widely used technique; peritoneal and zero-depth options also exist. Most people return to normal routines after around six to twelve weeks, and you learn to dilate before leaving Istanbul. Vaginoplasty in Turkey →
Breast augmentation (MTF top surgery)
Implant size, shape and recovery are planned with your surgeon so the result fits your frame.
Facial feminisation
FFS procedures are chosen together with your surgeon for a natural balance rather than a set package.
Voice surgery
Planned with Prof. Dr. Kürşat Yelken, an ENT surgeon specialising in voice disorders who trained at Harvard Medical School's Massachusetts Eye and Ear.

What do I have in common with you?

Neda is a Trans Health Care Advisor, not a doctor. Neda Deniz Health Tourism Agency Ltd. is built as a health advisor for transgender and non-binary people, where every need is handled in a tailor-made way — including when your health insurance won't cover gender reassignment surgery or your local waiting list runs into years.

What do patients say about Neda Agency?
Patients, in their own words: Google reviews from people who had top surgery in Istanbul with Neda Agency.
I went and got my top surgery in Istanbul, my girlfriend and her dad accompanied me on the journey. From the first moment I booked, to arriving, surgery and departing, it was very well organised — Neda sorted everything, I did not have to worry about anything.
I would have had to wait 4 years to get surgery in my country, and now that weight is off my shoulders and I have my dream result. I felt safe and cared for every day, from the airport to the minute I was dropped off to fly back home.
It was incredibly professional throughout the whole experience — pick-ups, drop-offs, appointments, information. I couldn't be happier with my results. Every single member of the team, from surgeon to driver, was so hospitable and welcoming.
I always felt as though I knew what was about to happen next, how and where. I felt incredibly welcome and secure being shuttled between the hotel, hospital and airport. The nurses were extremely gentle and caring.
