As women age, breast sagging or drooping occurs. With the breast lift — mastopexy procedure, the goal is to reposition the breasts and make them stand up straighter by removing excess breast skin. Cosmetic surgeons also tighten the surrounding tissue to enhance breast contour and give a more youthful & firmer shape. You can undergo a breast lift surgery alone or combine it with other procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty, liposuction or any facial Botox procedure.

Here are 7 key benefits of a breast uplift (mestopexy):
1️⃣ Restores a Youthful Breast Shape – Raises sagging breasts for a firmer as well as more uplifted appearance.
2️⃣ Improves Breast Symmetry – Corrects asymmetry by repositioning uneven breasts to achieve better breast symmetry.
3️⃣ Supports Long-Term Breast Aesthetics – – Makes your breasts attractive for longer by making the skin around them tighter, so they stay up.
4️⃣Tightens Skin & Elevates Mammary Tissue – Excises redundant cutaneous tissue and repositions glandular breast tissue, so that enhances breast projection and firmness.
5️⃣ Boosts Confidence & Body Proportion – improving both self-image and the fit of clothing.
6️⃣ Enhances Nipple Position & Projection – Moves the nipples upward for a more natural, forward-facing look.
7️⃣ Can Be Combined with Other Procedures – Can be used with other procedures – often used with other mammoplasty surgeries such as breast implants, breast reduction for the best results.
It is a reconstructive plastic surgery surgery that creates breasts in size, shape and angle suitable for your body contours. It treats breast sagging caused by reasons like age, giving birth and weight loss. A good-looking breast profile is possible in only 2-3 hours.
Asymmetric breasts have different size, angle, shape, position, volume and general appearance. They may be disproportionate to each other in texture, nipple color and proportion. Uneven breasts usually occur due to genetic factors and age. You can correct this appearance with a successful breast lifting.
Harmonizing with the aesthetic of your breasts fosters self-assurance and allows you to perceive your physique as statuesque and alluring. This also plays a role in improving women's positive self-perception. It cultivates a sense of well-being, as embracing one’s body positively reinforces self-worth.
Procedures
Before breast lift in Turkey, surgeons want to make sure that patients’ expectations allign with what they can achieve realistically. For example, when you decide to come Vantage Clinic, you will decide the type of breast surgery, the new positioning of your nipples and the volume and shape of your breasts with our cosmetic surgeons.
Just like other breast surgeries, breast lifts follow a similar process:
🔸Anesthesia. When you arrive at our hospital for the operation, our anaesthetist will give you an anaesthetic injection. Just like other breast surgeries, a mastopexy operation will be performed under general anesthesia in a sterile operating room. Therefore, you will be numb throughout surgery and will not feel pain.
🔸Surgical cuts. Once you are asleep, your surgeon will make the incisions that go along the lines of the type of breast lift you’re having, e.g., Crescent Lift, Donut Lift, Vertical Lift, and Anchor Lift.
🔸Resizing of the breasts. The surgeon will lift, cut and reshape the tissue to improve shape and firmness. They will also shift the nipple and areola to a higher or more youthful position. The angle of incisions and the area of operation on breasts will be different – the areola and breast crease – based on the breast lift surgery type.
🔸Closing the cut. When the surgeon is done, they’ll put in stitches to close the incision and help it heal. Most surgeons try to make scars as small and unnoticeable as possible.
Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery should:
🔹Be in generally good health, with no significant medical conditions & underlying health issues that may affect surgery or recovery.
🔹Be non-smokers and refrain from alcohol, tobacco, or drug use, as these can affect healing.
🔹Have well-defined expectations of the surgery’s results.
🔹Have experienced breast sagging or loss of shape that can occur in the breast due to ageing, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
In addition, during the consultation, you will discuss your medical history, including past surgeries, medications, allergies, & family history of breast cancer with your plastic surgeon.
1. Traditional (Anchor) Breast Lift Recommended for significant sagging.
2. Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift This procedure is ideal for mild to moderate sagging.

Before surgery
You’ll have an online consultation with medical consultants. So that, they’ll give you all the details and fees of your surgery. Then, you’ll talk to your plastic surgeon about a breast lift.
They will also consider the quality of your skin tone, as breast skin that has good tone will hold the breasts in a preferable position after a breast uplift.
Understandably, you might be anxious about the recovery period and how long it will last.
As with any other surgery, you will need some time to recover. Even though the recovery period is highly personal, it follows roughly the same steps for anybody.
After a few days you are discharged from the hospital, you will need to pay a visit to your surgeon for your first check-up. Your surgeon will check the condition of your scars and nipples. Any drains that were placed during the surgery can also be removed during this check-up depending on the intensity of the drainage.
Your stitches will be removed in 2-3 weeks after your surgery. Usually, your surgeon will remove your stitches in two sessions. During these first few weeks, you might feel some discomfort and pain. Your surgeon will prescribe you some pain killers to help with the discomfort.
To help you recover, you will need to wear a special bra for up to 6 weeks. You should also try to avoid exercising or moving your arms too much, as this might delay the healing process.

Because breast lift is a complicated operation, it should be performed by a specialised and experienced surgeon. This will increase your chances of having a successful surgery, great results, and minor discomfort. Vantage Aesthetic Clinic has been working with the best breast lift surgeons who are known for their great results.
The amount of time that a breast lift will last varies for each individual. After, the factors that caused the sagging in the first place will still be effective. As the years pass, your breasts might start to lose their shape. But don’t worry, this process takes at least over 5 years and can be as long as 10-15.
Yes, if you want to alter the size and shape of your breasts at the same time both breast lift and breast augmentation surgery can be performed. Your surgeon will insert the implants before moving up your skin to eliminate sagginess.
Yes. Because milk ducts and breast tissue are usually left untouched during breast implant, you can still breastfeed after a breast lift with implnt operation. Still, you should confirm your condition with our surgeon.
Larger breasts are especially susceptible to sagging due to these factors. There can be a number of reasons for saggy breasts:
Even if none of these factors is involved, gravity and ageing show their effects as you get older.
Most women feel lost while trying to decide on which operation suits their expectations the best.
The difference between a breast lift and breast reduction is quite an important one. A breast lift can only change the shape and positioning of your breasts while breast reduction has direct effects on the size of your breasts. If you are actually happy with your breast size but would like to get rid of the saggy look, breast uplift is the suitable option for you.
But if you are unhappy with the size of your breasts due to excessive back pain or appearance, you might want to consider breast reduction.
After the procedure, you’re likely to feel pain and soreness around the incisions for a few weeks. However, prescripted medications will help you to manage the pain. Numbness around areola, nipples, and breast skin may last for 2 months.
