A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It repositions the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position without significantly changing breast size.
Turkey offers breast lift surgery from experienced plastic surgeons at 50-70% less than Western prices. Many patients choose to combine a breast lift with implants for added volume, or with a breast reduction for more comprehensive reshaping.
The procedure takes 2-3 hours under general anesthesia. Various techniques are available depending on the degree of sagging — from a minimal "donut" lift to a full anchor-pattern lift. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks and resume exercise after 4-6 weeks.
