Regain Confidence with Breast Lift Surgery
Every woman at any age wants to look attractive and be confident. In our clinic, we help women to regain a neat and elastic breast and get an amazing result
Lowering the skin and subcutaneous fat layer of the breasts is called mastoptosis.
And many women face this problem as they get older. It will not be possible to
restore breast elasticity by yourself, even if you regularly go to the gym and get
a proper diet. Since the fat layer is located in the breasts, it cannot be turned
into muscles. And the skin cannot return to its previous position after sagging.
With the breast lift, plastic surgeons restore the elasticity of the breasts.
This procedure should not be confused with breast augmentation surgery using
implants or reduction mammoplasty, in which the size of the breasts is reduced.
In the case of mastopexy, excision of excess sagging and stretched skin occurs and
subsequent fixation of tissues in the correct position. At the request of the
patient, an increase or decrease in the breast can be made during the lifting
procedure.
This type of surgical intervention has been known since the beginning of the 20th
century. The methods of the breast lift procedure were improved only by the end of
the 1960s, and doctors began to successfully restore the shape of the breasts.
Currently, thanks to modern equipment, experienced specialists easily perform
operations to tighten the stretched skin on the breast. The Plastic Surgery Turkey
Group clinic employs experienced plastic surgeons who will be able to gently
restore the youth of this female organ, preserving its natural appearance and
giving the breast a harmonious shape.
There are several methods of mastopexy in plastic surgery. For each patient,
the doctor determines the appropriate method based on indications and
preliminary examinations. Each of them differs in the degree of complexity
and level of injury.
The most popular ways to lift the skin of the breasts:
- Periareolar mastopexy is used for minor deformation of breast tissue. Suitable for patients with the first or second breast size. The method is considered the most gentle, and recovery during the rehabilitation period occurs quickly;
- The vertical method is prescribed for the second degree of ptosis, and usually these are women with the second or third breast size;
- The third method, which is considered the most difficult, is called anchor mastopexy. But although the method is considered more traumatic, with its help it is possible to restore the elasticity of even the most neglected large breasts.
Sagging breasts can occur for various reasons: pregnancy and prolonged
breastfeeding, large breast size, age-related changes, sudden weight loss
refusal to wear a bra or genetic predisposition.
Regardless of the cause of mastoptosis, there are indications for breast lift
surgery:
- Sagging and stretching of the breast skin, regardless of the degree of ptosis;
- Deformation of the breasts, as well as loss of elasticity;
- Visible asymmetry: different shape and size of the breasts;
- Lowering of the areola and nipples;
- The appearance of stretch marks.

Performing Breast Lift
The mastopexy technique is chosen based on the degree of mastoptosis.
- With the periareolar technique, a small incision is made around the areola. The stretched skin is excised and the nipple is raised, and then the incision is stitched up. In this case, local anesthesia is possible. The procedure lasts 30-40 minutes. With this method, the breast is not damaged. Therefore, rehabilitation is easy and fast;
- The vertical technique involves an incision around and through the areola. This method is carried out only with the help of medical sleep and lasts from 1 to 2 hours. During the procedure, excess tissue is removed next to the submammary fold. Thanks to vertical mastopexy, the correct and even shape of the breast is formed, as well as the return of the nipples to the desired position;
- Anchor breast lift lasts about 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The operation is complicated, but very effective. The incision is made along the perimeter of the areola, then there is penetration inside to the submammary fold with the continuation of the incision along it. Also, excess tissue is removed, the shape of the breasts is corrected and the nipples rise.
In addition to restoring the elasticity of the breast and its beautiful shape, mastopexy helps you to reduce the size of the areola.
