Breast lift surgery is a surgical solution that restores the shape of sagging breasts. Breast tissue that has loosened due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes is tightened through this procedure to achieve a more youthful appearance. During the surgery, excess skin is removed, the nipple is repositioned to the ideal location, and the breast tissue is reshaped. The procedure aims for both an aesthetic and symmetrical look and is planned according to the individual's body structure and expectations.
A breast lift is a surgical procedure aimed at tightening sagging breasts caused by time, gravity, or physiological processes such as childbirth or breastfeeding, giving them a more aesthetic shape. Known medically as “mastopexy,” this procedure is preferred in cases of breast tissue laxity, excess skin, and loss of form. In some patients, a standard breast lift is sufficient, while in cases where volume loss accompanies sagging, the surgery may be combined with the application of silicone implants.
Offering an effective solution for those who desire naturally contoured, lifted, and symmetrical breasts, breast lift surgery provides satisfying results both aesthetically and in terms of self-confidence. By repositioning the nipple higher, removing excess skin, and reshaping the tissues, the breast gains a firmer, fuller, and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Breast lift surgery is customized according to the patient’s current breast structure, skin elasticity, and expectations. Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure takes approximately 2 to 3 hours. During the surgery, the nipple is placed in the ideal position, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped to create a lifted appearance.
The surgeon may use one of the following techniques based on the patient’s needs: anchor, lollipop, or donut. One of the most common methods, the “anchor” technique, involves an incision around the areola extending downward and along the breast crease in a T-shape. This allows for the removal of excess skin and repositioning of the breast structure to achieve a lifted look. Regardless of the technique used, the goal is to achieve a natural and symmetrical appearance.

The breast lift process includes several stages from planning to recovery. First, the patient undergoes a detailed consultation. At this stage, the individual’s expectations, body structure, condition of the breast tissue, and overall health profile are assessed. The surgeon explains the suitable techniques and surgery process in detail. The new position of the nipple and type of incision are clarified during this consultation.
On the day of surgery, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the chosen technique, the surgeon makes incisions around and under the nipple, removes excess skin, and reshapes the breast tissue. If there is volume deficiency, a silicone implant may be inserted during this stage. After the procedure, the incision sites are carefully closed and the patient is bandaged.
In the initial days of recovery, special compression garments are used and physical activity is restricted. Although returning to social life may be possible within 7 to 10 days, final aesthetic results appear over the course of several months. Choosing our doctor, who is specialized in every stage of the surgery, ensures a successful procedure and satisfying results.
Breast lift surgery is ideal for individuals unhappy with their physical appearance and experiencing sagging issues. It is commonly sought by women whose breasts have sagged due to childbirth and breastfeeding or by individuals whose skin elasticity has decreased with age.
Those who have experienced a loss in volume and firmness due to genetic predisposition or significant weight fluctuations are also suitable candidates for mastopexy. A detailed examination is carried out before surgery, and the structural condition of the breast, skin quality, and overall health status are considered in creating a treatment plan.
Anyone over the age of 18 without active diseases like breast cancer or serious systemic conditions that would pose a surgical risk can be considered a candidate. The final decision is made after individual evaluation. When planned with realistic expectations and a professional approach, breast lift surgery can significantly enhance a patient’s quality of life.
The cost of a breast lift procedure may vary depending on the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, the materials applied, and the hospital’s facilities. In some cases, additional costs may arise if the breast lift is combined with silicone implants or breast reduction due to sagging and volume loss.
Since an individualized plan is created for each patient, an exact price can only be determined after a detailed consultation. Choosing the right clinic is crucial for receiving high-quality service, meeting aesthetic expectations, and ensuring safe surgical conditions. Our clinic is a trusted provider in aesthetic operations, with a highly experienced surgical team and a patient-centered approach that yields high satisfaction rates.
