Overview

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue for a firmer, more youthful appearance. It is commonly chosen after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or age-related changes that affect breast shape.Every year, thousands of women from the UK travel to Turkey for breast lift procedures thanks to high-quality medical standards, experienced surgeons, and significantly more affordable prices compared to the UK. A breast lift does not increase breast volume, but it can be combined with implants if more fullness is desired.

Breast Lift Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are the results of breast lift surgery lifelong?

A breast lift offers long-lasting results, and many patients enjoy their improved breast shape for years. However, while the lifted and firmer appearance is permanent, the natural ageing process continues. Over time, factors such as gravity, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, and future pregnancies can influence the breasts’ shape. Maintaining a stable weight and following your surgeon’s aftercare guidance can help keep the results looking their best for as long as possible.

2. Do breast lift scars fade fully?

All breast lift techniques involve incisions, which naturally result in some level of scarring. These scars do not disappear entirely, but they generally fade significantly over the course of 12 to 18 months. Surgical scars gradually soften, lighten in colour, and become far less noticeable especially when proper scar care is followed. Because the incisions are placed in natural breast folds or around the areola, they are easily concealed under underwear or swimwear.

3. Is breast uplift identical to breast enlargement?

No, these two surgeries serve different purposes. A breast uplift (mastopexy) aims to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple–areola complex. In contrast, breast enlargement focuses solely on increasing breast size using implants. Some patients, however, choose to combine both procedures to achieve fuller and lifted breasts in one operation. This combination is particularly popular after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

4. What is the distinction between breast augmentation and uplift?

Breast augmentation enhances size and volume, while a breast uplift tightens, reshapes, and elevates the breasts. If the breasts have lost volume and also appear droopy, augmentation alone may not address sagging. Similarly, a lift alone will not increase size. For this reason, many patients choose a combined procedure, which allows the surgeon to restore fullness, improve contour, and position the breasts more aesthetically in a single surgery.

5. Can breast uplift and enlargement or reduction be done together?

Yes. Breast uplift can safely be combined with either augmentation or reduction, depending on the patient’s goals. Adding implants helps create fuller, rounder breasts while lifting improves firmness and nipple position. On the other hand, pairing a lift with a reduction helps patients achieve smaller, lighter, and more lifted breasts at the same time. Combining procedures allows for one recovery period and often produces more harmonious and natural-looking results.

6. Can I nurse my baby after the breast lift operation?

Most patients can breastfeed after a mastopexy, as long as the nipple and underlying milk ducts remain intact. However, because every individual’s anatomy is different, this cannot be guaranteed. If breastfeeding is very important for your future plans, you should discuss this with your surgeon during your consultation. It is also worth remembering that pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect breast shape again, so many patients prefer to wait until they have completed their family before having a breast lift.

7. Can breast lifts enlarge breast measurement?

A breast lift alone does not increase cup size, as its main purpose is to reshape and elevate the breast rather than add volume. However, lifting the breasts and giving them a more upright posture can make them appear rounder and firmer, which some patients perceive as a subtle increase in fullness. For those who want an actual size increase, adding implants during the same procedure is the most effective option.

8. How much is a breast lift in Turkey?

Turkey is known for offering high-quality cosmetic procedures at more affordable prices compared to many Western countries. Breast lift operations in Turkey cost significantly less while being performed in modern, accredited hospitals by experienced surgeons. Clinic Center provides competitively priced, all-inclusive packages that cover accommodation, transfers, hospital fees, and aftercare services. Once you contact our team, we prepare a personalised treatment plan and guide you through every step of your journey.

9. What is a non-surgical breast uplift?

A non-surgical breast lift refers to methods that aim to improve firmness without incisions or anaesthesia. These treatments may include radiofrequency, ultrasound, or laser-based skin tightening. While they can offer mild improvements for patients with minimal sagging, they cannot replicate the results of a surgical breast lift. For those with moderate to severe sagging, surgery remains the most effective and long-lasting option.

10. When can I return to normal daily activities after a breast lift?

Most patients can resume light daily activities within a few days, but full recovery is gradual. You will need to wear a supportive surgical bra for several weeks to help the breasts heal properly. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal during the first days and improve steadily. Many patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their job. However, heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and chest workouts should be avoided for 6 weeks or until your surgeon approves. Following postoperative instructions carefully ensures a smoother recovery and optimal results.
