What is a breast lift?

If you are considering a mastopexy (breast lift) in Europe or Turkey, one way to see if it can help is to place a pencil under your breast and see if it stays there. If it does, a breast lift may be a solution.

You may choose this operation if you are bothered by the look or feel of sagging, flat breasts or breasts whose areola has become larger.

These effects can occur as a result of

• Pregnancy
• Breast-feeding
• Change in weight
• Age
• Genetics

Women generally undergo this procedure on an outpatient basis, which means they do not have to stay overnight at the clinic. The operation takes around 3 hours and is usually performed under general anaesthetic.

Some women also receive breast implants at the same time as their mastopexy.

Your Turkish surgeon should describe the options available to you and explain the procedure in detail.

How to prepare for mastopexy

The first step is to consult a plastic surgeon in Turkey. When you do, tell the surgeon what your goals are. If you also want breast implants, bring photos showing the size and shape of the breasts you want. People with HIV are allowed to undergo this surgery.

The Turkish surgeon will take into account your state of health and describe the options available to you. The surgeon will also explain in detail the procedure, the risks and how you can recover.

Complications after a breast lift in Turkey are relatively rare. The three main ones are bleeding, infection and scarring. Your surgeon will give you preparation instructions that will help you reduce the risk of complications.

These instructions will include not smoking, making sure you are not taking any medicines that can cause bleeding and taking antibiotics if necessary.

You should also start planning your recovery period. For example, you should avoid lifting heavy objects for at least 4 to 6 weeks after your mastopexy.

What happens during mastopexy in Turkey?

You will be operated on in a hospital, an outpatient surgery centre or in the doctor’s own operating theatre. You will meet the anaesthetist, surgeon and nursing staff before the operation.

The Turkish surgeon will mark the correct position where your nipple will go. You will then be taken to the operating theatre where you will be given a general anaesthetic or sedation.

The surgeon will remove excess skin and lift the breast tissue to the correct position without damaging the mammary gland. If you opt for breast implants in Turkey, the surgeon will place them and then close and bandage your breasts. You may have small drains in your breasts for 24 to 48 hours.

Post-operative follow-up

Your surgeon will remove any dressings and drains at your follow-up visit on the first or second day after your breast lift surgery. The doctor will also check the colour of the nipple and theblood supply.

After the operation, you can expect to feel uncomfortable for a few days. Your doctor will usually recommend that you wear a bra or a special dressing to give you the support you need during your recovery. For the first week, you may need pain relief medication.

If you have had breast implants in Turkey, take care to avoid any impact on your breasts, which could cause the implant to rupture.

In 2 to 3 weeks, your surgeon will remove all your stitches. The size and shape of the breast will continue to improve over time.

There may be slight differences in symmetry between the two breasts. If this is the case, your plastic surgeon will perform a minor touch-up to help reposition the nipple if necessary. Minor adjustments may be made afterwards.

During your recovery, it is very important to limit your activities as instructed by your surgeon and to report any side effects or problems you have immediately.

Any surgical procedure carries risks, particularly of infection. With cosmetic breast reduction surgery, permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or breast skin is very rare.

Risks, complications and side effects

There are some rare risks associated with mastopexy:

• Poor healing of the incisions;
• Capsular contracture;
• Early sagging of the breasts;
• Bruising and inflammation;
• Loss of breast or nipple sensitivity;
• Uneven breast shape.

Risks and complications associated with mastopexy

After undergoing mastopexy in Turkey, you may experience:

• Scars. These usually fade over time.
• Changes in the sensitivity of the nipple or breast. This usually returns after a few weeks, but can sometimes be permanent.
• Breasts of different shapes or sizes. Sometimes this is because the breasts heal at a different rate.
• Loss of the nipple or areola. This is rare, but can happen if the operation results in blood loss in the area concerned.

How does mastopexy affect breastfeeding?

You can have a breast lift at any age after your breasts have finished developing. You can also have one before or after pregnancy. You can continue to breastfeed after a mastopexy.

Long-term results

The results are immediately visible after the operation, but it may take a few months to achieve a final result.

The results of a breast lift may not be permanent. You may need another mastopexy and breast augmentation.

Over time, some women choose to have a breast lift as a “touch-up” procedure to improve the overall appearance of their breasts. But they may not need a full procedure.

It may help to maintain the results for longer by keeping a stable and healthy weight.
