Breast lift surgery is a surgical method applied to reshape and elevate breasts that have shifted or sagged over time. The aim of this procedure is to restore the natural shape of the breasts and create a silhouette more in harmony with body proportions.
Breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure usually performed to restore the shape of breasts that have sagged and lost elasticity over time. Genetic factors, aging, weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding can cause noticeable sagging in the breasts. The breast lift surgery aims to give the breasts a younger and firmer appearance both physically and aesthetically.
Besides improving physical appearance, the operation has the potential to boost the individual’s self-confidence. Restoring the natural form of the breasts positively affects the person’s overall quality of life and self-esteem. Thanks to advanced surgical techniques today, it is possible to achieve natural results with breast lift surgery.
Breast lift surgery begins with a detailed preliminary examination to determine the areas requiring surgical intervention. The surgeon evaluates the patient’s skin elasticity, breast tissue, and the degree of sagging. Prior to surgery, the patient may undergo various tests to determine if they are a suitable candidate for the operation.
The incision technique to be used is decided based on the shape, volume, and degree of sagging of the breasts. The most commonly used methods involve incisions around the nipple, extending vertically downward, and if necessary, along the breast fold. The surgeon aims to leave as minimal scarring as possible.
The surgery lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia. Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped. The nipple and surrounding area are repositioned to a higher, more aesthetic position. The incision areas are closed with cosmetic stitches. A supportive medical bra worn after the operation helps maintain the new shape and position of the breasts.

Breast lift surgery offers both physical and psychological benefits. Breasts that have lost their aesthetic appearance due to sagging are lifted and tightened through surgery. By repositioning the nipple to an ideal location, the breasts gain a natural and symmetrical look.
It helps achieve a body-proportional appearance and can increase self-esteem in individuals who have low confidence due to aesthetic concerns. Physical discomforts such as back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by sagging breasts may also decrease with breast lift surgery. Additionally, clothing choices become easier and more comfortable. Breast lift surgery not only changes outward appearance but also helps individuals feel psychologically stronger. Our modern and innovative methods contribute to remarkable results in both aesthetics and health.
Breast lift surgeries can be performed using several different techniques tailored to individual needs. For those with mild sagging, a lift performed with an incision only around the nipple is preferred. This technique is known for minimal scarring and a relatively quick recovery. It offers an effective solution for patients needing minor corrections.
If the sagging is more pronounced, a vertical incision extending from the nipple down to the breast fold is performed. This method provides a more natural breast shape and successful contouring results. Additionally, volume-enhancing or reducing procedures can be combined during the surgery based on the patient’s needs.
In cases of severe sagging and deformation, the inverted-T incision method is used. In this technique, an incision starts around the nipple, continues vertically down to the breast fold, and joins a horizontal incision in the fold. This method allows for shaping a larger area and is ideal for patients with serious shape abnormalities. Although it has a higher potential for scarring compared to other techniques, the results typically outweigh this drawback.
For breasts that have lost volume and appear hollow over time, combining the lift with silicone implants is the most suitable option. During this procedure, the breasts are lifted and also augmented. This combination offers very satisfying results, especially for individuals who have lost volume after childbirth or weight loss.
For those with both excessive size and sagging, breast lift can be combined with reduction surgery. This not only creates an aesthetic appearance but also relieves physical discomfort experienced by the patient. A lighter, more balanced breast shape is achieved, significantly improving the quality of life. This approach effectively addresses problems such as back and neck pain caused by overly large breasts.
The appropriate technique is determined based on the surgeon’s expertise and the patient’s needs. Our experienced team carefully selects and applies the most suitable method for each individual.
The cost of breast lift surgery varies depending on factors such as the technique used, the extent of the operation, the surgeon’s experience, and the facilities provided by the hospital. Since every individual’s needs differ, giving a general price range can be misleading.
Another important point to focus on instead of price is the reliability and professionalism of the center performing the procedure. Our clinic stands out in this field with high-quality standards and an expert team. If you want to achieve a natural and balanced look, you can benefit from the exclusive services we offer.
