Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Treatment Cost in Turkey

Breast Lift or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure performed to modify the elevation, size, shape and contour of sagging, deformed or non-uniform breasts. With growing age, breasts start to lose their elasticity naturally although other reasons such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, gravity, aging or heredity can also lead to the loss of elasticity of the breasts. Addressing such conditions, breast lift surgery helps to regain the elasticity, firmness and contour of the breasts. In case both the breasts are of two different sized, it’s also the preferred choice of treatment to make both of them equal-sized. Breast lift surgery is performed by removing or reshaping the excess fat and skin tissues of and around the breasts and also repositioning of the nipple and areola. The stretched areola can also be reduced with breast uplift surgery.

If you are someone above 18 years of age struggling with the issue of sagging breasts or ptosis without any health conditions such as heart problems, obesity, diabetes and lung disease. Also, candidates should have stable mental health and positive outlook to adjust to the recovery and transformational stage after the surgery.

There are various types of breast lift surgeries available based on the type of incisions made. Your plastic surgeon will advise the type of breast lift incision that will give the best results with the least conspicuous scarring. Below are the 4 most common incision techniques for breast lift surgery: Peri-Areolar or Donut Lift: It involves a circular incision around the edge of the areola. This surgery is recommended in case of mild breast sagging and is commonly performed along with breast augmentation. The after surgery scar runs across the edge of the areola. Crescent Lift: This technique is usually recommended to correct minimal sagging of the breasts that involves a small incision halfway around the top half of the edge of the areola. It is also usually done along with breast augmentation. Lollipop or Vertical Lift: It involves two incisions, one running around the edge of the areola while the other one running vertically from the bottom of the areola until the fold of the breasts creating the shape of a lollipop hence the name. It is commonly used in case of moderate sagging and extensive reshaping. It allows to remove excess skin and reshape the breasts. Inverted T or Anchor Lift: This technique is used in case of extensive sagging and need of dramatic reshaping. It involves three incisions: one around the edge of the areola, one from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease and one along the inframammary fold that is hidden in the breast crease. Based on your need and medical examination, the surgeon decides on which incision to be made. After the incision is made, breast tissues are lifted and reformed to improve breast firmness and proportion. The nipples and areola are repositioned to an ideal height and if needed the stretched areola is also reduced. Along with it, excess skin is also removed to regain skin elasticity. After the reshaping and contouring procedure is done, the skin is closed by sutures, skin adhesives and/ or surgical tapes.
