Breast Lift in Istanbul, Turkey A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and elevates breasts affected by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, ageing or natural tissue laxity. The operation removes excess skin, repositions the nipple and reshapes the existing breast tissue. It does not automatically add volume; an implant or fat transfer may be discussed when upper-pole fullness is also a goal. Who may be suitable? Healthy adults with breast sagging, downward-facing nipples, asymmetry or stretched skin may be candidates. Suitability depends on breast anatomy, skin quality, general health, smoking status, future pregnancy plans and realistic expectations. A personal examination is required before a technique can be recommended. Surgical planning and scars: The incision pattern may be around the areola, vertically down the breast or include the inframammary fold. The appropriate pattern depends on the degree of sagging and the amount of reshaping required. Dr. Semih Yıldız prepares an individual plan that balances shape, support and scar placement. Breast lift can sometimes be combined with breast augmentation or reduction. Recovery and safety: Swelling, bruising, temporary tightness and changes in sensation are expected during early healing. A supportive bra is commonly recommended, while heavy lifting and exercise remain restricted until surgical clearance. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, delayed wound healing, visible scars, asymmetry, altered nipple sensation, partial or complete nipple loss, difficulty breastfeeding and revision surgery. Individual risks are reviewed during informed consent. Frequently asked questions How much does a breast lift in Istanbul cost?
