Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Breast augmentation with implants changes more than size: along with volume, the surgeon corrects the projection, width and position of the breasts, so the implant is matched to the individual anatomy, including chest width, tissue thickness and skin condition. The shape, size and type of implant are determined at the consultation, based on the examination.
The plane in which the implant is placed, under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis major muscle, is chosen according to the patient's anatomy and the desired silhouette. The operation is performed with minimal trauma, and surgeons at specialist clinics follow international safety and aesthetic protocols.
The result is an even increase in volume with a natural silhouette and preserved sensation. Recovery takes 4–6 weeks, and physical exertion is limited during this time: the quality of healing and the stability of the shape depend on how precisely the patient follows the surgeon's instructions.
MediUkraine helps you find a qualified surgeon for this operation at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Implants differ in fill (cohesive silicone gel or saline), shape (round or anatomical) and volume, and they are placed under the breast gland or under the pectoralis major muscle. The surgeon chooses the specific combination according to the patient's anatomy and the desired shape and size, which is why the operation is preceded by a consultation and detailed planning.
The main surgical approaches are inframammary (an incision under the breast), periareolar (around the areola) and transaxillary (in the armpit). Each has its own logic: with the first, the scar is hidden in the fold under the breast; the second gives the surgeon direct control over implant placement; and the third leaves no marks on the breasts themselves. The surgeon suggests the best option after an examination, taking the patient's wishes into account.
Implant shells and fillers are certified and designed for long-term use. The result of the operation is stable but requires periodic check-ups with a doctor. MediUkraine will help you choose a plastic surgeon and keep you informed at every step.
Recovery after breast implant surgery takes 4–6 weeks, which is how long the body needs to adapt to the changes. In the first few days there is noticeable pain, swelling and bruising in the breast area: this is how the tissues respond to surgery. The doctor prescribes painkillers and a compression bra, which reduces discomfort and holds the implants in the correct position.
In the second and third weeks the swelling gradually subsides, although mild discomfort may persist. During this time avoid physical exertion and exercise, and do not lift anything heavier than 2 kg. Swimming and saunas are also off limits. Most patients return to office work after 1–2 weeks, depending on how they feel and the nature of their work.
The tissues heal completely over 3–6 months: during this time the implants settle into place and the result becomes clearly visible. The MediUkraine team will put you in touch with experienced surgeons at the partner clinic and agree a schedule of check-ups for the treatment and rehabilitation stages.
It all starts with a consultation: the surgeon assesses your anatomy and discusses implant options, the incision site and how deep the implant will be placed. Reasons for seeking surgery include breast hypoplasia (underdevelopment), asymmetry or the wish to change your silhouette. Next the patient has pre-operative tests and receives advice on preparation.
The operation takes about 1.5–2 hours under general anaesthesia. The incision is made under the areola, in the fold under the breast or in the armpit, depending on the chosen technique. The implants are placed under the breast gland or under the pectoralis major muscle. How natural the result looks and how long it lasts depend on the accuracy of positioning.
MediUkraine finds experienced plastic surgeons at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, coordinates bookings and advises you at every stage of treatment. What the service includes and its terms are known before you agree the date of the operation.
Breast implant surgery costs noticeably less in Ukraine than in Europe and the USA. The difference is explained by lower running costs for medical facilities and staff salary levels.
Competition in the market keeps prices within reasonable limits: clinics compete for patients not only on cost but also on quality of service. At the same time, they use certified implants from leading global manufacturers, such as Mentor and Allergan, with a predictable result and a long service life.
The MediUkraine platform makes it easier to organise treatment: it helps Ukrainian and international patients get specialist consultations. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English, and MediUkraine stays in touch with you before and after your visit. This way you avoid unnecessary costs and can see exactly what you are paying for.
As with any surgery, the risk is not zero, but it is predictable. In Ukraine the operation is performed to international plastic surgery standards, with minimal trauma, using certified implants and proven equipment. This reduces the likelihood of complications and helps the breast shape last a long time and look natural.
The operation is performed by experienced plastic surgeons who choose the approach (inframammary, areolar or axillary) according to the patient's anatomy and wishes. All stages take place under general anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during the operation. Planning around your individual anatomy makes the result more predictable and recovery shorter.
Ukrainian clinics follow strict sterility rules, use gentle techniques and monitor the patient's condition at every stage, from the consultation to the post-operative period. The doctor gives advice on recovery and prescribes supportive therapy and measures to prevent swelling. You can usually return to your normal routine within 7–10 days.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
It is plastic surgery that gives the breasts the desired shape, volume and symmetry. During the operation, silicone or saline implants are placed under the muscle or under the breast gland. The breasts remain soft and mobile, and the result looks natural.
Breast augmentation in Ukraine costs from USD 2,811, depending on the clinic, the surgeon's qualifications, the type of implants (anatomical or round), the type of anaesthesia and post-operative care. This amount usually includes the consultation, the operation, the implants themselves, the stay at the clinic and check-ups.
It is worth seeing a surgeon if you are bothered by small breasts, asymmetry, or loss of shape after childbirth, weight loss or age-related changes. Breast augmentation is also recommended for women after a mastectomy (removal of the breast) to restore natural body contours.
Before the operation you have a consultation, a breast ultrasound, blood tests and an ECG. For 7–10 days beforehand, avoid alcohol, smoking and, as agreed with the doctor who prescribed them, medicines that affect blood clotting. On the day of the operation you come in on an empty stomach. The surgeon selects the shape, volume and type of implants individually.
No. Breast augmentation is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for 6 months after breastfeeding ends. The reason is hormonal changes that affect breast tissue and increase the risk of complications.
Patients return to normal activity within 4–6 weeks. For the first two weeks there is noticeable tenderness, swelling and bruising in the operated area. During this period you wear a compression bra, avoid physical exertion and do not lift anything heavier than 2–3 kilograms. How quickly the incision heals depends on your body and on how precisely you follow the surgeon's recommendations.
The final result develops over 3–6 months: the implants settle into their final position and the surrounding tissues adapt. During this time you can gradually return to your usual exercise and sports training, but only with your doctor's permission. Most of the swelling goes down in the first month, although minor residual swelling persists for several more months. When you book through the MediUkraine platform, you will receive detailed individual advice on post-operative care and the course of recovery.
Breast augmentation with implants is not treatment but aesthetic plastic surgery. Unlike procedures aimed at curing a disease, this operation changes the size and shape of the breasts using silicone or saline implants. The aim is the desired aesthetic result, not relief from a medical condition.
Implants are considered a permanent solution, but they do not last forever: the average service life of the material is 10–15 years, after which correction or replacement may be needed. The result depends on the right choice of implant size and type, the quality of the surgery and following the rehabilitation recommendations. The MediUkraine team will help you find an experienced surgeon who will hold a detailed consultation, assess your anatomy and suggest a solution that matches your wishes and physical characteristics.
