Breasts are an important part of the female body. Having breasts that are too saggy, or asymmetric can greatly affect self-esteem. Many people who have saggy breasts are wondering “what is a breast lift?” Breast uplift, also known as mastopexy, boob lift or breast reshaping, is a cosmetic surgery that serves as a solution to saggy breasts, which may make the patient feel less confident. After the breast lift surgery, patients will have fuller and more lifted breasts and reach the appearance of their dreams.
Breast sagging (ptosis) is examined in 3 stages:
In first-degree ptosis, the nipple has decreased to the level of the inframammary line or 1 cm below. In second-degree ptosis, the nipple is 1-3 cm below the inframammary line, but it still faces forward. In third-degree ptosis, the nipple has descended more than 3 cm and is directed downwards. There is also a condition called pseudoptosis, in which the breast is loose and sagging, but the nipple is above the inframammary line.
There are different surgical techniques to be implemented for breast lift surgery. While in some cases only an incision around the nipple is performed, for others a straight incision under the breast or an incision called an inverted T may need to be performed. The skin elasticity, breast structure and the desired result are important factors in determining these techniques.
Undergoing a breast lift surgery with Sanamentum will be a life-changing, satisfying experience for our patients. We make sure only to use the best tools and materials needed for a boob uplift. Our surgeries are performed under the latest technology methods with the assistance of some of the best medical teams in Turkey. We carefully choose our surgeons according to their qualifications and only work with accredited hospitals.

Types of Breast Ptosis
Breast sagging (ptosis) is classified in three stages:
First-degree ptosis: The nipple is at or just below the inframammary fold (1 cm).
Second-degree ptosis: The nipple is 1–3 cm below the inframammary fold but still faces forward.
Third-degree ptosis: The nipple is more than 3 cm below the fold and points downward.
Pseudoptosis: The breast appears loose and saggy, but the nipple remains above the fold.

Types of Breast Ptosis
Breast sagging (ptosis) is classified in three stages:
First-degree ptosis: The nipple is at or just below the inframammary fold (1 cm).
Second-degree ptosis: The nipple is 1–3 cm below the inframammary fold but still faces forward.
Third-degree ptosis: The nipple is more than 3 cm below the fold and points downward.
Pseudoptosis: The breast appears loose and saggy, but the nipple remains above the fold.
Surgical Techniques
Different surgical techniques are applied depending on breast structure, skin elasticity, and desired results. Some patients only need an incision around the nipple, while others may require a vertical incision or an inverted-T mastopexy. The choice of technique is made after a detailed consultation with a qualified surgeon.

Causes of Breast Sagging
Breast ptosis can occur due to multiple factors:
Genetics: Weak ligaments supporting breast tissue.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Ligaments stretch as breasts enlarge, losing firmness afterward.
Weight fluctuations: Rapid weight gain or loss affects skin elasticity.
Ageing & hormones: Reduced breast tissue leads to sagging.
Gravity: Continuous downward pull worsens sagging, especially without supportive bras.
Why Choose Turkey for Breast Lift Surgery?
Turkey has become a global hub for medical tourism due to its affordability, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and highly qualified doctors. Patients from the UK, Europe, Gulf countries, and North Africa frequently travel for mastopexy in Turkey.
Positive breast lift Turkey reviews highlight patient satisfaction, affordable costs, short waiting times, and advanced technology. For example, while patients in the UK or USA may wait 2–3 months for a breast lift, in Turkey appointments are available much sooner. The significant cost difference between breast lift prices in Turkey and those in the UK makes Turkey one of the most preferred destinations.

The Causes of Breast Sagging
The list of the potential causes of breast sagging (Ptosis) is as follows:
1) It may begin at an early age due to weak ligaments supporting the breast caused by hereditary reasons.
2) The breasts of pregnant and breastfeeding women are more prone to sagging. As the breast tissue fills with milk during breastfeeding, it grows together with the skin on it and the ligaments in between. When breastfeeding ends, the breast tissue, which no longer produces milk, returns to its pre-pregnancy state, but the breast ligaments and skin have lost their former firmness. Breasts sag due to the loosening of the skin around the breast tissue.
3) It can also occur due to excessive weight gain or loss adversely affecting the elasticity of the skin, and causing sagging.
4) Breast tissue decreases due to hormonal reasons related to ageing. This causes the breasts to become empty and sag.
5) Gravity inevitably affects body shape. Especially in people who do not use a bra, gravity pulls the breasts downwards, causing them to sag.

Breast Uplift Results and Recovery
Breast lift recovery time takes around 6 to 8 weeks. During this period, you have to take care of yourself and follow the instructions of your surgeons to have a problem-free breast uplift recovery.
The process after the surgery is mostly comfortable. In the first days, you may feel slight pain when moving or coughing, but it will decrease day by day. Restricting arm movements decreases the pain and breast uplift recovery process.
You can stand up the next day after surgery, but it may take 4-5 days to return to daily life. The bruising that may occur in the early period disappears after a week and the swelling disappears after 2-3 weeks. A special bra must be worn for approximately 15 days after the surgery to accelerate the breast uplift recovery process and preserve the breast shape. Edema occurs after the surgery, but after it is eliminated over time, the breast shape begins to emerge.

The breast takes its final and natural breast uplift shape in approximately 8-10 weeks. For optimal breast uplift recovery, it is necessary to sleep in a slightly elevated position in the first weeks. Lifting or pushing anything heavy is strictly prohibited for 3-4 weeks, as the breast uplift scars may get worse. Heavy sports should be avoided for at least 1 month and sexual intercourse should be avoided for 1 week.
Our patients are received a medical garment that will make the recovery period easier. They are provided with everything they will need during their breast uplift recovery period.
