About Breast Lift
One of the biggest advantages of breast lift is that even if it is not combined with breast reduction, your back and neck pain will be significantly reduced, as the breasts will be positioned higher.
How the Procedure Works
Your surgeon makes incisions on the operation day in a way that does not disturb the natural curves of your breasts. The nipple is moved to a higher position without removal and the excess breast skin is removed. It is important to adhere to the underlying tissue piles to preserve the nipple and areola sensation and lactation channels. The areola size can be reduced depending on the case, but its round shape is preserved. After all these procedures are completed, the skin incisions that tighten the skin are carefully closed by your experienced surgeon. The threads used are self-dissolving and do not need to be removed.
Incisions and Scars
- Crescent Lift: Crescent Lift also known as crescent mastopexy, is a less invasive single breast incision technique and is usually more suitable for cases with a small amount of sagging skin. This technique involves making an incision around the upper half of the areola to remove a crescent-shaped piece of skin.
- Periareolar Lift (Donut Lift): Periareolar Lift, also known as Circumareolar Lift or Donut Mastopexy, is suitable for patients experiencing mild to moderate breast sagging (ptosis). The incision is made in a complete circle around the areola and allows the areola to be reshaped.
- Vertical Lift (Lollipop Lift): In this technique, also called keyhole, an incision is made around the outer edge of the areola and is combined with another incision that extends vertically from there to the inframammary fold. This technique is generally suitable for cases with moderate sagging.
- Anchor Lift (Inverted T Lift): The incisions make a full circle around the areola and are completed with an incision along the breast fold itself at the point where it extends vertically down to the inframammary fold. This technique is generally the most suitable technique for cases with significant sagging or for cases combining breast lift with breast reduction.

Breast lift surgery or mastopexy is a surgery that is performed to lift sagging breasts, reshape them and achieve a firmer breast appearance.
After breast lift surgery, there may usually be excessive sensitivity, a feeling of numbness or loss of sensation in the nipple, but these are classified as temporary side effects. After a successful operation, the patient retains the former sensation. The situation is evaluated differently for secondary cases. If you are going to undergo a revision breast lift surgery, it is very important that you provide your surgeon with completely transparent information at the first consultation.
Your surgical scars after breast lift vary in size or permanence depending on the technique used, the experience of the surgeon, the extent to which you follow the postoperative instructions and your skin type. Your surgeon will make the finest and most minimized incisions possible, but even the most perfect surgical scars do not completely disappear. They fade completely after a well-adhered post-operative recovery period.
In some cases, a successful breastfeeding activity is observed after breast lift surgery, while in some cases, difficulties or restrictions in breastfeeding may be observed. The surgical technique used and the extent of tissue manipulation can affect the integrity of the milk ducts and nerves needed for breastfeeding. Every woman's body is unique, and there may be differences in the milk ducts and nervous anatomy that may affect the results of breastfeeding, regardless of the success of the operation.
Yes, people who have previously had breast implants can have breast lift surgery after. A breast implant also poses a risk of sagging, just as breast tissue causes skin sagging over the years. In such cases, you can change your implant and combine it with a breast lift accompanied by a surgeon's recommendation, or if there are no deformations in your implants, you can only have a breast lift operation without changing it.
A family history of breast cancer does not prevent a person from having a breast lift or other cosmetic surgeries. But still, before any surgeries, people with breast cancer in their family history should have routine evaluations and tests.
