Turkey has become a reference in aesthetic surgery, specializing in post-pregnancy, reconstructive and reverse-aging treatments.
You can have a shape like never before with safe, effective surgery. What is more, the breast uplift cost in Turkey makes this popular surgery available to everyone.
What is Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is an cosmetic surgery that aims to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
Breast lift surgery does not actually change breast size. But breast lifting procedures can also be combined with techniques such as breast implants, breast reduction surgery, or breast augmentation surgery to add or reduce volume.
Why Undergo Breast Lift in Turkey?
A breast lift is meant for women who have sagging or drooping breasts and are dissatisfied with breast shape or breast size. This kind of breast surgery is not a substitute for breast implants, breast augmentation or reduction, but it can be combined to achieve better results.
If you experience great psychological malaise or discomfort due to sagginess or asymmetry, a breast lift in Turkey can greatly improve your quality of life.

Why do breasts sag?
Ptosis is the medical name for breast sagginess. Breasts become saggy or droopy due to 4 main reasons:
Aging
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Weight fluctuations
Genetics
Depending on your case, ptosis may be reversible through exercise, a fat transfer or non-surgical skin tightening, but such methods usually have very limited results. It is precisely what pushes patients to undergo a boob lift in Turkey.
Are You Eligible for Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is an effective, surgical method treating breast droopiness, but not all patients can undergo the procedure.
Your surgeon will carry out a medical evaluation to determine if you can undergo the procedure. Here are some examples of patients who may not be eligible for a breast lift in Turkey:
Pregnant women
Women breastfeeding
Women planning to become pregnant in the near future
Women with a history of breast cancer
Patients with a history of reaction to anesthesia
Patients under certain medication, such as blood thinners or anti- depressants
Patients suffering from emotional instability
Patients suffering from certain chronic diseases
Overall, the decision to undergo breast uplift surgery should be based on a thorough consultation with a surgeon who can assess your individual case and provide personalized recommendations.
During your medical evaluation, your surgeon will devise a plan to achieve the best outcome and meet all your expectations. This process will be carried out with your personal involvement and your final decision. You will be provided all the required information to make a pondered choice. There is no best or worse technique for breast uplift in Turkey. Depending on your physique, medical history and desired outcome, any of the following may be more effective than the others. Here are the 4 main types of mastopexy surgery:
1. Periareolar Uplift
This kind of uplift procedure involves making an incision around the edge of the areola and removing a small amount of breast tissue. This may be the best option for women who have mild sagging and do not require a significant amount of tissue removal.
2. Anchor Uplift
This alternative uplift involves making an incision around the areola, a vertical incision from the bottom to the fold underneath the breast, and a horizontal incision along the fold underneath the breast. This is an optimal option for women who have severe sagging and require a significant amount of tissue removal.
3. Vertical Uplift
A vertical uplift involves making a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the fold underneath the breast, as well as a small incision around the areola. This is a good option for women who have moderate sagging and require more tissue removal.
4. Crescent Uplift
This procedure involves making a crescent-shaped incision above the areola and removing a small amount of tissue. This may be the best option for women who have very mild sagging and require minimal tissue removal.
How is Breast Lift Turkey Performed?
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes around 2-3 hours. The exact surgical technique used can vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and goals, but generally involves the following steps:
Anesthesia: You will be given general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and asleep during the procedure.
Incisions: The surgeon will make incisions in the breast tissue to remove excess skin and reposition the nipple and areola. The incision pattern will depend on the amount of skin that needs to be removed and the degree of sagging.
Reshaping the breast tissue: After the excess skin has been removed, the surgeon will reshape the breast tissue and reposition the nipple and areola to a more natural and youthful position.
Closing the incisions: The incisions will be closed with sutures, and your breasts will be bandaged and supported with a surgical bra.
Recovery: You will be taken to a recovery area and monitored closely as you wake up from anesthesia. You may experience some discomfort and swelling in the breasts, but this can be managed with pain medication and ice packs.
Follow-up appointments: You will need to attend follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your recovery and ensure that the incisions are healing properly.
What are the Risks of Mastopexy?
Like any surgical procedure performed anywhere in the world, a breast lift Turkey has risks and potential complications. As it does not involve any organ manipulation, it is not a dangerous procedure. But due to personal ethics and professional practices, surgeons are required to inform you about all aspects of the procedure, including unpleasant ones.
Here are the main risks associated with breast uplift surgery:
Infection
Scarring
Changes in nipple and breast sensation

Improved nipple position: nipples are repositioned during surgery, creating a more natural and aesthetically pleasing nipple placement.

The ageing process will naturally continue after surgery. However, if you maintain healthy life habits and exercise with a certain regularly, results will permanently keep you younger.
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, so you will only feel the after-effects upon waking up.
Depending on your life habits, and the size of the implants put in place (if any), breasts may sooner or later experience sagging. If no implants are put in place, and you maintain healthy life habits, results may be permanent and last for life.
Even though there is no specific age that is considered best to get a breast lift, most patients are around 40-50 years of age.
That depends purely on your wishes and your surgeon’s considerations. Usually, bra size after a breast lift is only reduces by one cup.
It can and it should. There is a fine line to be found here, because we want results to be noticeable, but we also want them to be elegant, pretty and natural. Thus, we strive to create results that will and should be noticed by your close ones, while a stranger would never know you’ve had surgery.
Most patients can go braless approximately 6 weeks after breast lift surgery.
Certain patients may experience nipple hypersensitivity after surgery, but this will subside in the coming months following surgery.
Patients with a BMI equal or above 33 will certainly be required to lose weight. Patients in the 30-33 BMI bracket may also be required to lose weight upon the surgeon’s consideration.
One is not better than the other, they are different operations that address different issues. While a breast reduction addresses excessive breast size causing pain, back and neck pain, breast lifting is a purely aesthetic procedure correcting breast sagginess.
While non-surgical treatments can help with breast sagginess, results are very limited. Exercises such as push-ups, bench presses and arm curls have been reported as some that may have the best results.
Most women who have had breast lift surgery are able to produce some milk after breast lift surgery.
Yes, exercises such as push-ups, bench presses and arm curls have been reported to have effective yet limited results.
No, it cannot cause cancer.
Yes, breast uplifting may help with back pain, but it alone will most certainly not alleviate all symptoms.
Yes, patients may undergo the procedure more than once.
