A Complete Guide to Breast Implants in Turkey by Op.
Do your breasts appear saggy or deflated due to age, pregnancy, or weight changes?
You’re not alone. Many women experience a loss of firmness and contour over time.
A breast lift, performed by Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek, can dramatically improve the shape and position of your breasts.
This advanced procedure elevates sagging breasts, reshapes the contour, and repositions the nipples.
As a result, you regain youthful proportions and renewed confidence—without changing your natural size.
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts.
It removes excess skin, tightens surrounding tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex.
Unlike breast augmentation, this surgery focuses on restoring firmness and height, not volume.
Over time, several factors can stretch and weaken breast tissue, including:
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Significant weight loss
Natural aging and gravity
Hormonal changes
Genetics
If you notice downward-pointing nipples, stretched skin, or lost projection, a breast lift may be the solution.
Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in breast surgeries.
He combines advanced techniques with artistic precision to achieve natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.
His patient-centered approach ensures that every breast lift is customized to your anatomy and expectations.
You’ll receive honest guidance, personalized care, and medical excellence from consultation to recovery.
You may be a suitable candidate for a breast lift if you:
Have sagging or drooping breasts
Are satisfied with your breast size but want a more youthful shape
Notice nipples that sit below the breast crease
Experience enlarged or stretched areolas
Feel self-conscious or uncomfortable due to breast sagging
Additionally, you should:
Be in good general health
Have stable body weight
Be a non-smoker or willing to stop temporarily
Have realistic goals and understand the recovery process
If you’re planning pregnancy soon, it’s wise to postpone surgery until afterward.
Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek chooses the technique that matches your degree of sagging and aesthetic goals.
During your consultation, he will explain the most suitable method for your body type.
Best for mild sagging
Involves a small incision along the top half of the areola
Minimal scarring and a subtle lift
Ideal for moderate sagging
Uses a circular incision around the entire areola
Allows for nipple repositioning and areola reduction
Addresses moderate to severe sagging
Involves incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease
Offers significant reshaping with limited scarring
Designed for severe sagging or large breasts
Combines three incisions: around the areola, down the breast, and along the crease
Provides the most dramatic reshaping and lift
Breast lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia.
The operation takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the technique and complexity.
Incisions: Dr. Şimşek makes carefully planned incisions based on your chosen technique.
Tissue Lifting: He removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue.
Nipple Repositioning: The nipple-areola complex is moved higher to match the new breast shape.
Sutures: Incisions are closed with dissolvable or removable stitches to promote minimal scarring.
You can usually go home the same day, although some patients may stay overnight based on recovery needs.
A breast lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with:
If you want added volume along with lift, implants can be placed during the same surgery.
This combo is ideal for women who’ve lost both firmness and fullness.
A lift can be paired with volume reduction for women experiencing discomfort from heavy, sagging breasts.
This combination enhances both aesthetics and physical relief.
Dr. Şimşek will explain your options and design the ideal surgical plan.
Recovery after a breast lift varies by patient, but most experience:
Mild to moderate swelling and bruising
Some tightness or discomfort
Temporary numbness in nipples or breast skin
Wear a supportive surgical bra or compression garment as advised
Avoid sleeping on your stomach for the first few weeks
Refrain from lifting or stretching your arms too high
Limit exercise and heavy activities for at least 4–6 weeks
Attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring
Most women return to light work within 7 to 10 days.
Final results become more apparent after 3 to 6 months, once swelling fully resolves.
Choosing a breast lift can deliver powerful physical and emotional benefits:
Restores youthful, uplifted breast shape
Repositions nipples for a natural appearance
Reduces stretched skin and enlarged areolas
Improves balance between breasts and body proportions
Boosts self-confidence and comfort in clothing
Long-lasting results when paired with healthy lifestyle
With Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek, you can expect aesthetically pleasing outcomes that align with your expectations.
All surgical procedures involve incisions, which means some scarring is inevitable.
However, Dr. Şimşek uses meticulous techniques to minimize and strategically place scars.
Over time, most scars fade significantly and become barely visible.
Following proper aftercare and avoiding sun exposure can speed healing and reduce scar visibility.
In many cases, women can still breastfeed after surgery.
It depends on the technique and whether the milk ducts remain intact.
If you plan future pregnancies or breastfeeding, discuss this during your consultation.
The results of a breast lift can last many years.
However, natural aging, weight changes, and pregnancy may eventually affect firmness again.
Wearing supportive bras and maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your new shape.
