Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Sagging breast tissue is reshaped and the nipple is moved up; if volume is also low, an implant can be added in the same operation.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

The nipple moved up

A downward-pointing nipple and its areola are moved to a new, higher position.

Excess skin is removed

Shape from your own tissue

When volume is enough, the lift is achieved with your own tissue, without an implant.

With an implant in one session if needed

TREATMENTS

About breast lift

When you may not need it
If there is no sagging and only volume has decreased, augmentation with an implant or fat may be enough. If the breasts are very large and a burden, a reduction is considered.

Breast augmentation (implant)

If there is no sagging and only volume has decreased, filling the breast with an implant may be enough. With mild sagging and volume loss together, the implant can be combined with a lift.

Lift alone and lift with an implant
Both correct sagging. The difference is volume: a lift alone reshapes the existing volume, a lift with an implant also increases it.

Which path suits you is decided at the examination from the degree of sagging, your current volume and your goal.

What is done in the operation

First, the degree of sagging and the nipple’s new position are measured. The incision is chosen according to the degree of sagging.

Excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and the nipple is moved up.

If volume has also decreased, an implant can be added in the same operation; a large nipple can also be reduced.

Other breast procedures
A breast lift is one of the breast aesthetics options. The breast aesthetics page explains which procedure suits a volume, sagging or size concern.
TREATMENT TIMELINE

From day one to discharge

The timeline below is an average and varies by patient, diagnosis and clinical status. Exact timing and all included services are detailed in your personalized treatment offer.
First Contact
You send front and side photos of your chest and your health details; the surgeon makes a preliminary assessment.
Examination & Plan
The degree of sagging and volume are assessed, the need for an implant is decided and pre-operative tests are done.
Surgery & Stay
The operation is done under general anaesthesia and a support bra is fitted; you stay in hospital for a short time.
Week 1
You are checked and the stitches are looked after if needed. You are cleared to fly after this check-up.
First Weeks
The support bra is worn for a few weeks; exercise and heavy lifting start with your surgeon’s approval.
Over the Months
The breast settles and takes its final shape; the scar is visible at first and fades over the months.
Every treatment offer is presented in full detail — accommodation, transfer, interpreter and follow-up included — clearly stating what is covered.

WHY DORUK

What sets us apart here

All four procedures in one team
Augmentation, lift and reduction are done by the same team; the right path is chosen at the examination and two can be combined when needed.
One session with an implant
When sagging and volume loss come together, the lift and implant are done in the same operation.
Our plastic surgery team
Breast aesthetic surgery is planned and performed by our specialists in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.
AFTERCARE

Care after surgery

Support bra
A support bra is fitted in the operation. Most patients wear it day and night for a few weeks; your surgeon gives you the timing in writing.
Drain
If a drain is placed, it is removed at a check-up once the fluid lessens. Not every breast operation needs a drain; your surgeon decides.
Arm movement and wound care
For a while you avoid raising your arms above shoulder level and lifting heavy things. You are shown wound care and how to shower before discharge.
Check-ups
Your surgeon examines you at discharge and before your flight home.
Remote follow-up at home
After you return home, check-ups continue by photo and video call, with a medical interpreter.

TRAVEL

Plan your trip

How long to stay
For breast surgery we recommend staying in Türkiye for about a week; fat grafting or combined operations may take longer. The exact length comes with your plan.
Companion
You can bring a companion, who helps with dressing and carrying in the first days while your arm movement is limited.
When to fly
You can fly once you have had your check-up. On a long flight wear your support bra, drink plenty of water, walk the aisle now and then and let someone else lift your luggage.
