Breast Lift in Istanbul: overview
A breast lift reshapes breasts that have sagged after childbirth, breastfeeding, weight change or with age: excess skin is removed, the nipple is moved higher and the breast tissue is gathered. Volume does not change; where more fullness is wanted, it can be combined with implants. The incision pattern depends on the degree of sagging.
Who is it for?
A breast lift (mastopexy) is for breasts that have dropped and lost shape, with the nipple pointing downwards or sitting below the breast fold, typically after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss or with age. It reshapes the breast and raises the nipple; it does not add significant volume, so it is combined with an implant or fat transfer when more fullness is wanted.

Types of lift and their scars
The technique depends on how much the breast has dropped:
- Periareolar (donut) lift: a scar around the areola, for mild drooping
- Vertical (lollipop) lift: around the areola and down to the fold, for moderate drooping
- Anchor (inverted-T) lift: also along the fold, for significant drooping or large breasts
- Lift with implants or fat transfer: when volume is also wanted
How long the result lasts
The new shape is long-lasting, but the breast continues to age, and weight changes, pregnancy and gravity affect it over time. A well-fitting bra and a stable weight help maintain the result. The scars are red at first and fade over a year or so.
Travelling from the UK or Ireland for a breast lift
Plan about 5 to 7 days in Istanbul for the operation and a wound check before flying. Wear the support bra on the four-hour flight to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh or Dublin and avoid lifting heavy luggage. Tell your GP before you go; afterwards, the scars and shape are followed up with photos and video calls, and your reports are provided in English.

Surgeon profile – newcityclinic.comFrequently asked questions
What is breast lift?
A breast lift reshapes breasts that have sagged after childbirth, breastfeeding, weight change or with age: excess skin is removed, the nipple is moved higher and the breast tissue is gathered. Volume does not change; where more fullness is wanted, it can be combined with implants. The incision pattern depends on the degree of sagging.
How much does Breast Lift cost in Turkey?
The cost depends on the scope of the procedure, the technique, the hospital and your accommodation choice. After a physician's assessment, New City Clinic sends you an itemised written quote; getting a quote is free.
What does an all-inclusive Breast Lift package include?
Your quote lists the hospital and physician fees, required tests, check-ups, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and, on request, hotel accommodation as separate items. Flights are not included; we can help organise them if you wish.
How long does Breast Lift take?
The procedure takes about 2–3 hours. Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia.
Do I need implants with a breast lift?
Not necessarily. A lift alone reshapes and raises the breast; implants or fat are added if you also want more volume, especially in the upper part.
Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?
Often yes, because the nipple usually stays attached to the underlying tissue, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Are the scars noticeable?
They are visible at first and fade over time. Their length depends on the type of lift, which the surgeon explains at the examination.
