Depending on breast sagging, the patient is discharged the next day after 1.5-2.5 hours of surgery. Scars fade over time.
Breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgery that reshapes breasts that sag or lose their form over time. It is an effective solution especially for deformations after birth and breastfeeding.
This surgery provides an important change in terms of both aesthetic appearance and self-confidence by recovering the breast tissue. After the procedure, the breasts gain a more upright and youthful form. Therefore, the difference between before and after breast lift is evident. Non-surgical methods, on the other hand, have a limited effect only in mild sagging.
Operation Duration 1.5 hours
Anaesthesia General
Discharge The next day
Return to Social Life: 3-5 days
Who is it suitable for?
It is suitable for women who have problems such as loosening in their breasts, nipple downward orientation, inability to shape even with a bra.
Breast sagging usually occurs after birth, breastfeeding, ageing and weight changes and can affect the patient’s posture as well as aesthetic appearance.
Breast lift without silicone can be preferred in patients who have sufficient breast volume but have sagging problems; in such cases, there is no need for an intervention to increase volume.
Surgical Planning and Techniques
Breast lift surgery is planned individually. The most appropriate technique is selected by evaluating the nipple position, skin quality and sagging level. Generally, “vertical” or “inverted T” incisions are preferred.
During the operation, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and the nipple is moved to a more ideal position. In this way, balanced results are obtained both aesthetically and functionally.
Sagging breasts over time can affect both aesthetic appearance and self-confidence. Breast lift surgery aims to reshape the loosened tissues to give a more upright, fresh and youthful breast form. A natural and balanced result is aimed for each patient.
The consent form is a document that documents the patient’s informed consent and is legally required to be signed before the procedure.
Consult your doctor for more detailed information. It is recommended that you carefully review the consent form that will be presented to you before the operation.
Since the breast lift procedure involves the removal of breast tissue and excess skin, it is very important that the patient understands all aspects of the process. Having information about the technique used during the operation and the healing process provides you with great convenience when making a decision.
Operation Process and Scars
The operation time is 2-2.5 hours. Same day discharge is possible. You can return to social life in 3-5 days. Bra use is recommended in the first weeks. Scars remain around the nipple and lower line, fade over time.
Natural Result and Permanence
After the procedure, the breasts have a lifted, young and aesthetic appearance. The results are long lasting, especially in patients with good skin quality. Over time, the factors that cause sagging breasts (weight gain and loss, birth, breastfeeding) are surgically balanced.
In some cases, breast lift can be combined with breast reduction surgery. Such reduction surgeries are applied when both shape and volume regulation is required in the breast.
After breast lift surgery, a more erect and symmetrical appearance is achieved in the breasts; the results maintain their permanence for a long time, especially in individuals with good skin quality. However, excessive weight gain and loss may negatively affect the aesthetic result obtained in the long term.
Aesthetic and Safety Balance
In the techniques applied by Dr. Sarper Mete, the long-term comfort of the patient and the protection of breast tissue are as important as the aesthetic result.
In breast lift surgery, it is aimed to regain fullness and form in the breasts while preserving the natural appearance.
When making a decision, the patient’s body structure, skin quality and expectations are evaluated in detail. In this process, which is specially planned for each patient, long-term satisfaction is as important as a natural result. The detailed evaluation made before the surgery is critical for both surgical planning and the correct management of patient expectations.
