Breast Lift

Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is an operation to correct the appearance of breast(s) that sag due to loss of elasticity secondary to many factors, including but not limited to aging, hormonal factors, pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics and weight gain and loss.

In order to lift the breast, the excess skin is removed and the ligaments that suspend the breast are repaired. The breast and the surrounding supportive tissues are reshaped, volume of the breast is enhanced and the breast is lifted, resulting in natural conic form.

If you feel that your breast(s) sag or if your nipple is located below the inframammary fold or points downward, you may consider a breast lift.

Childbearing, breastfeeding, genetic features, weight gain and loss as well as aging causes loss of elasticity and volume in breast(s). When ligaments that support breast weaken and they are defeated by the gravity force, sagging of breasts is inevitable.

Breast lift is performed to eliminate these cosmetic problems.

Therefore, breast lift offers a solution for following conditions:

 • Sagging breasts accompanied by loss of elasticity and volume

 • Nipples located below the inframammary fold or pointing downwards secondary changes in breast tissue

 • Asymmetry of breasts

Breast lift is planned according to the degree of sagging. Therefore, breast lift alone can eliminate mild sagging, but size of breast may get smaller secondary to breast lift, if sagging is severe and volume of breast tissue is insufficient. For this reason, it may be necessary to combine breast lift with breast augmentation. Again, breast life surgery causes reduction of breast in women with naturally large breasts.

A breast lift or mastopexy is performed by an expert plastic surgery team under general anesthesia. Therefore, you will be unconscious during the surgery and you will feel nothing, including pain.

In the surgery, the excess skin is removed and the brown area around the nipple (areola) and the nipple are also reduced and transferred to the original or optimal position. In this surgery, both the excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is shaped.

Accordingly, breast lift surgery is an extremely personalized procedure and you need to consult a plastic surgeon before you decide and plan a breast lift.
