Breast Uplift Surgery in Turkey: Top 4 Surgical Techniques

A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. There are four main techniques used in Turkey, depending on the degree of sagging, breast size, and the patient’s desired results.

Restores youthful firmness and reshapes sagging breasts
Lifts and repositions the nipple for a natural look
Can be combined with breast implants for added volume
Performed by expert, board-certified plastic surgeons
Save up to 70% compared to the USA & UK

💡 Choosing the right breast uplift technique depends on your level of sagging and the results you want to achieve.

Crescent Lift (Minimal Lift) – Best for Mild Sagging

📌 Ideal for: Women with mild sagging (grade 1 ptosis) who need minor adjustments to nipple position.

Minimally invasive with a small incision
Leaves almost no visible scars
Slightly raises the nipple position

How It Works:

✔ A small crescent-shaped incision is made along the upper half of the areola.
✔ A small amount of skin is removed, and the nipple is lifted slightly.
✔ The incision is closed with minimal scarring.

Pros & Cons:

Least scarring among breast lift techniques
Quick procedure with fast recovery
Best for small corrections in nipple position
Not suitable for moderate to severe sagging
Does not reshape the breast significantly

💡 Best for women with mild sagging who want a small lift with minimal scars.

Periareolar (Donut) Lift – Best for Mild to Moderate Sagging

📌 Ideal for: Women with mild to moderate sagging (grade 1-2 ptosis) and enlarged areolas.

Good for women with mild sagging and large areolas
Less invasive than other techniques
Can be combined with breast implants

How It Works:

✔ A circular incision is made around the areola (hence the name “donut lift”).
Excess skin is removed, and the areola is repositioned.
✔ The incision is hidden within the areola, leaving minimal visible scars.

Pros & Cons:

Minimal scarring (hidden in the areola)
Improves nipple position and breast shape
Can be combined with implants
Not suitable for severe sagging
Mild skin tightening compared to other techniques

💡 Best for women who want a subtle lift and have large areolas that need reshaping.

Vertical (Lollipop) Lift – Best for Moderate Sagging

📌 Ideal for: Women with moderate sagging (grade 2-3 ptosis) who need reshaping and lifting.

Provides a more noticeable lift than donut lift
Reshapes the breast for a natural, perky look
Less scarring than the full anchor lift

How It Works:

✔ An incision is made around the areola and vertically down to the breast fold (forming a “lollipop” shape).
Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped.
✔ The nipple is repositioned higher for a youthful look.

Pros & Cons:

More dramatic lift and reshaping than donut lift
Scars are moderate and fade over time
Can be combined with breast implants
Not suitable for extremely large, heavy breasts
Some visible scarring (though it fades over time)

💡 This technique is perfect for women who need a moderate lift and reshaping.

Anchor (Full Mastopexy) Lift – Best for Severe Sagging

📌 Ideal for: Women with severe sagging (grade 3-4 ptosis) or very large breasts.

Best for major breast reshaping and lifting
Removes excess skin and significantly improves shape
Ideal for women who have experienced massive weight loss

How It Works:

✔ Incisions are made around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the breast crease (forming an “anchor” shape).
Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the breasts are reshaped.
✔ The nipple is repositioned to a higher, youthful position.

Pros & Cons:

Most effective technique for severe sagging
Significant improvement in shape, firmness, and positioning
Can be combined with implants for added volume
Most scarring compared to other techniques
Longer recovery time

💡 This technique is best for women with large, sagging breasts who need maximum reshaping.
