A breast lift (mastopexy) is a cosmetic surgery designed to restore the natural shape and position of your breasts. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics can lead to sagging or loss of volume. A breast lift removes excess skin, tightens the remaining tissue, and repositions the nipples to create a firmer, more youthful contour. Whether you’re looking to restore your pre-pregnancy shape or simply enhance your profile, a breast lift can bring back confidence in your appearance.
Preparing for your breast lift is essential to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery. Here are the steps you should follow in the weeks before surgery:
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.
Eat a nutritious, balanced diet leading up to your procedure to support your healing and immune system.

The day of your breast lift surgery is carefully planned to ensure a comfortable and efficient experience:
Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.
A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.
Before your surgery begins, you’ll meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals and review the surgical plan. Your surgeon will mark the areas to be treated, including the position of the nipples and the amount of tissue to be removed.
You will be given anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Depending on the complexity of the surgery and your surgeon's recommendation, either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation will be used.
Once you're fully sedated, your surgeon will perform the breast lift by removing excess skin, lifting and reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipples to create a youthful, natural contour. The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the extent of the lift required.
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.
You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.
Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.
After the procedure, you'll be moved to a recovery area, where our team will monitor your progress as the anesthesia wears off.
Post-operative care is essential for ensuring the best results and a smooth recovery process. Here’s what you can expect:
After surgery, you will likely spend a short time in the hospital to be monitored by our medical team. This is to ensure there are no complications and that you are recovering well. You may need to stay overnight if you had general anesthesia.
Once you're stable, you’ll be discharged and escorted back to your hotel. Rest is crucial during the first few days, so avoid strenuous activities and take it easy to allow your body to heal.
You’ll have one or more follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor the healing process. Your surgeon will assess the incision sites, discuss any concerns, and guide you on how to care for your breasts as they heal.
Most patients can resume light activities after 1-2 weeks, but more strenuous activities like exercise or lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. You will be given detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage swelling and discomfort and to ensure proper healing.
While scarring is inevitable, your surgeon will ensure that the incisions are as discreet as possible, typically placed along the natural creases of the breast. Over time, scars will fade, and with proper aftercare, they will become less noticeable. Wearing supportive garments, like a surgical bra, is important for the first few weeks after surgery.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens the breast tissue, and repositions the nipples to create a more youthful, lifted breast contour.
Candidates are typically women who have experienced sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or gravity. Good candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and want to restore a firmer, more youthful breast shape.
Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can resume light activities after 1-2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 6-8 weeks, with most of the swelling and bruising fading after 3-4 weeks. You'll need to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 4-6 weeks.
The results of a breast lift are long-lasting, but the natural aging process, gravity, and weight fluctuations can impact the longevity of the results over time. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help prolong the results.
A breast lift primarily focuses on lifting and reshaping the breasts, not altering their size. However, if you want to enhance or reduce breast volume, you can combine the procedure with breast implants or a breast reduction.
During the procedure, you won’t feel any pain because of the anesthesia. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, or bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. The pain usually subsides within a few days to weeks.
A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.

Most women are able to breastfeed after breast implant replacement, but it depends on the technique used and the amount of tissue altered. Be sure to discuss your concerns about breastfeeding with your surgeon before the procedure.
It is possible to breastfeed after breast reduction, but the ability to do so may depend on the technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to understand the potential impact on breastfeeding.
