Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Restore a youthful, lifted breast position without changing size

Overview

A breast lift (mastopexy) addresses breast ptosis (sagging) caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or ageing. Excess skin is removed, the remaining skin tightened, and the nipple repositioned to a higher, more youthful location. Unlike augmentation, a lift doesn't add volume — but it can be combined with implants for patients who want both a lifted position and fuller size. Turkish surgeons perform this procedure at a high volume with excellent outcomes.

Key Benefits

  • Restores a firm, lifted breast position
  • Repositions the nipple to a more youthful height
  • Reduces areola size if enlarged
  • Can be combined with augmentation or reduction
  • Long-lasting results when weight is stable
  • Significant improvement in body confidence

Procedure Options

Crescent Lift

Minimal lift — scar only at the top of the areola. Suitable for very mild ptosis.

Periareolar (Donut) Lift

Scar around the entire areola — for mild to moderate lifting.

Vertical (Lollipop) Lift

Around areola and down to the fold — the most versatile technique for moderate ptosis.

Anchor (Wise Pattern) Lift

Full anchor scar for significant sagging — used when removing excess skin is the primary concern.

Lift + Augmentation

Lift repositions the breast while implant restores lost volume — the most requested combination.

What to Expect

Surgery takes 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia. Stay in Turkey for 5–7 days. Surgical bra for 6 weeks. Incisions heal over 6–12 weeks. Final breast shape settles over 3–6 months.

Recovery Timeline
