WhatsAppThat is the entire basis of this article. She did not name a surgeon, a clinic or a specific implant type or size, so this article does not guess at any of those details. The sections below describe breast augmentation in general, not her personal procedure.
Why answering fan questions matters
Merve Kutlu chose to structure her video around the questions her own audience kept sending her, rather than make a single announcement and move on. That format — a direct Q&A, described by her as “unfiltered” — tends to cover the practical side that followers actually want to know: how the decision was made, what the process felt like, how long recovery took.

This article does not comment on her appearance before or after; it treats her words only as a starting point for explaining the procedure in general.

How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation increases breast volume and can correct shape, most often with implants. At the consultation the surgeon assesses breast shape and proportions, discusses the patient's goals, and helps choose between the two main implant types:
Round implant
- Shape
- Symmetrical round shape
- Typical result
- A fuller upper breast
Anatomical implant
- Shape
- Teardrop shape with a natural slope
- Typical result
- The most natural-looking contour
The surgery itself is performed under general anaesthesia, with the patient monitored continuously throughout.
Who is it for, and how do you prepare?
Breast augmentation is considered for low natural volume, asymmetry between the breasts, or volume lost after pregnancy, weight loss or breastfeeding. In the one to two weeks before surgery, aspirin-containing drugs, steroids and other hormonal medication for chronic conditions are stopped on the surgeon's guidance, and hormonal oral contraceptives are stopped at least a month ahead.
In the one to two months before surgery, patients are generally advised to keep a healthy work-rest balance, sleep more, and avoid stress. Tests are taken about a week before the operation.
Recovery, step by step
After surgery the patient stays in the clinic's inpatient ward under observation for one day. The surgery itself is painless under general anaesthesia; in the first one to three days afterwards, moderate discomfort is managed with painkillers, and by day 5–7 pain decreases significantly.
Return to office work without physical exertion is possible after 7–14 days, with light walks allowed after one to two weeks. Post-op swelling disappears and scars begin to form within about three weeks, and lifting over 3 kg or raising the arms above shoulder level is avoided for the same three weeks. Within three months, inflammatory changes in the tissue resolve and a stable “pocket” forms around the implant, and general discomfort disappears. Fitness, swimming, the pool and the sea are possible after 4–6 weeks, when compression garments also come off, and strength training resumes after three months. Scars fade to barely visible over 6–12 months.
