Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

Why a Breast Lift?

Sagging or deformed breasts can cause not only physical but also emotional discomfort. Breast lift surgery is a renewal process — it’s as much about inner peace as it is about outer appearance. This operation is a reconstruction where aesthetics meets anatomical precision.

• Correcting sagging
• Relocating the nipple to its natural position
• Restoring a youthful and dynamic breast shape
• Correcting asymmetries
• Adding volume (with implants, if necessary)

When Are Implants Used?

Breast lift surgery can be performed in two ways. Every patient is different; therefore, the appropriate method is determined after a detailed examination and an accurate assessment of aesthetic goals.

• Breast Lift Without Implants: If the existing breast tissue has sufficient volume, the nipple is elevated by tightening only the skin and tissue. The goal is to achieve a more natural and soft result.
• Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy): If the breast tissue has insufficient volume, a silicone implant is placed in conjunction with a breast lift to achieve fullness. This provides both shape and volume.

How Does the Surgery Work?

• The surgery takes approximately 2–3 hours under general anesthesia.
• The nipple is elevated, excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped.
• If implants are placed, they are usually positioned under the muscle or beneath the breast tissue.
• A special bra is used after the operation; a drain may be applied.
• An overnight hospital stay is recommended.
• Scars vary depending on the technique used, but they fade over time and are concealed within natural folds.

Post-Operative Considerations

Initial Days:

• Swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness are normal.
• Arm movements should be restricted, and rest is recommended.
• The use of a special bra is mandatory.

1–3 Weeks:

• Return to daily activities is possible.
• If a drain is present, it is removed within the first few days.
• Stitches are generally not removed; they dissolve naturally.

4–6 Weeks & Long-Term:

• Light exercise is permitted and bra use continues.
• Scar care begins. If necessary, silicone-based products are used.
• Scars will fade over time and the breast shape becomes more natural.
• Checkups are usually performed at 1, 3, and 6 months.
