Restore Youthful Curves with a Breast Lift by Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek in Istanbul

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.


What Is a Breast Lift?

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.


Why Choose Op. Dr. Ali Şimşek for Your Breast Lift?

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.


Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?

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.


Different Breast Lift Techniques

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.

1. Crescent Lift

  • Best for mild sagging

  • Involves a small incision along the top half of the areola

  • Minimal scarring and a subtle lift

2. Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift

  • Ideal for moderate sagging

  • Uses a circular incision around the entire areola

  • Allows for nipple repositioning and areola reduction

3. Vertical (Lollipop) Lift

  • Addresses moderate to severe sagging

  • Involves incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease

  • Offers significant reshaping with limited scarring

4. Anchor Lift

  • 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

How the Breast Lift Procedure Works

Breast lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia.
The operation takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the technique and complexity.

Surgical Steps:

  1. Incisions: Dr. Şimşek makes carefully planned incisions based on your chosen technique.

  2. Tissue Lifting: He removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue.

  3. Nipple Repositioning: The nipple-areola complex is moved higher to match the new breast shape.

  4. 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.


Combining Breast Lift with Other Procedures

A breast lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with:

Breast Augmentation

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.

Breast Reduction

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.


What to Expect During Recovery

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

Post-Operative Tips:

  • 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.


Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

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.


Will Breast Lift Leave Scars?

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.


Is Breastfeeding Still Possible After a Breast Lift?

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.


How Long Do Breast Lift Results Last?

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.
