The outcomes of breast lift can be analyzed in two main categories: aesthetical and psychological.
Breast lift can address all kinds of aesthetical concerns about your breasts. Through breast lift, the size, the shape, the asymmetry, and the proportions of your breasts can be changed. You will have perkier, firmer, and uplifted breasts. Your breasts will look better, and you will enjoy fitting into your clothes. It will help your bras and swimsuits to fit more comfortably while looking attractive.
The psychological outcomes of the procedure are as important as the physical ones. If you are not happy with the appearance of your breasts, you can experience serious psychological distress, which can negatively affect your self-esteem and social life. After having this procedure, you will have a more positive self-image. Your new reshaped, youthful, feminine, and better-proportioned breasts will boost your self-confidence.
Breast lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to change the appearance of the breasts. It is customized according to needs and wishes of the patient.
Like every other surgery, breast lift requires anesthesia. Depending on the case and the preference of the surgeon, breast lift is done under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation.
The details of the surgery depend on the patient’s needs and the surgeon’s approach. Our contracted surgeons are capable of performing several breast lift techniques. What’s suitable for you depends on your anatomical characteristics and your desired goals, which makes this surgery a customized procedure. After incisions are made, the excess skin and tissue around the problem area will be removed, and then your breasts will be reshaped, lifted and your nipples will be relocated to an ideal position.
Incision techniques can vary, and the differences depend on the extent of the incision and the degree of the lift necessary. There are typically three incisions:

After surgery, your breasts will be covered with bandages or dressings to reduce swelling and to support the new shape of your breasts. Besides that, a small tube can be temporarily placed under the skin to drain excess fluid. These will be removed by your surgeon within the next two to three days after surgery. Your surgeon may recommend you to use a surgical bra to protect the incision and minimize swelling. You may experience some loss of sensation around the incisions, which is normal. This feeling should pass with time. You may feel tired and experience moderate pain following the surgery, but it can be managed through painkillers. You will be able to return to your daily activities within a week.
You may need to take 2-3 weeks off work, but it can differ from patient to patient. It is best to avoid tiresome activities for at least two weeks. You should refrain from strenuous exercises and avoid stretching for up to 6 weeks after the surgery. Your surgeon will follow your recovery and will inform you when you are ready. It usually takes around 6-8 weeks. It is very important to follow the post-op instructions given by your surgeon. They will provide a customized recovery plan based on your needs and your level of healing.
A wellbeing assistant will visit you in your hotel room every day during the first week after the surgery. We will expect you to be in our clinic for your post-op examination 1 week after the surgery, before you leave Istanbul. We will still follow your recovery process while you are away.
