Reclaim your natural contours and confidence with a customized breast lift by Dr. Metin Kerem, one of Turkey’s leading experts in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
Over time, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and gravity can cause breasts to lose firmness and shape. A breast lift (mastopexy) restores a youthful, elevated contour without necessarily increasing size, creating a balanced and naturally beautiful silhouette.
What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by tightening surrounding tissue and removing excess skin. Unlike augmentation, which adds volume, a lift focuses on position, symmetry, and firmness.
Dr. Metin Kerem designs each procedure individually, harmonizing the patient’s anatomy, skin elasticity, and personal expectations. His technique ensures that the breasts appear rejuvenated, lifted, and naturally proportioned, rather than surgically altered.
Who Can Benefit from a Breast Lift?
You may be an ideal candidate for mastopexy if you experience:
- Sagging or drooping breasts (ptosis) after pregnancy or weight loss
- Downward-pointing nipples or stretched areolas
- Asymmetry between breasts
- Loss of youthful firmness despite stable breast size
Age is not a limitation. What matters most is good overall health and realistic expectations. Many women choose a breast lift alone, while others combine it with augmentation (implants) or reduction for comprehensive reshaping.

Types of Breast Lift Techniques
Each technique is selected according to the degree of sagging and the patient’s goals. Dr. Kerem determines the ideal method after detailed examination and simulation.
1. Periareolar (Donut Lift)
Used for mild sagging. The incision circles the areola, tightening the skin and slightly elevating the nipple. Minimal scarring, quick healing, and subtle rejuvenation.
2. Vertical (Lollipop Lift)
Best for moderate sagging. Incisions run around the areola and vertically down to the breast fold, allowing greater reshaping of tissue while maintaining firmness and projection.
3. Anchor (Inverted-T Lift)
Recommended for more advanced sagging. Provides significant lifting and reshaping, often combined with reduction or implant placement for ideal contour.
How the Procedure Works
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia ensures a comfortable, pain-free experience.
- Duration: 2-3 hours depending on technique and combination with implants.
- Process: Excess skin is removed, tissue is tightened, and the nipple–areola complex is repositioned to a higher, youthful level.
- Customization: Every incision and adjustment is tailored to your natural breast shape, chest width, and personal goals.
Dr. Kerem uses advanced suturing and scar-minimizing techniques to achieve a lifted yet soft, natural breast line.
Recovery and Aftercare
The recovery period is generally smooth, with minimal discomfort.
You may notice mild swelling or tightness during the first week, this subsides gradually.
Typical recovery timeline:
- Day 1-3: Rest and light walking only
- Day 4-7: Resume desk work or non-strenuous activity
- Week 3-4: Light exercise
- Week 6+: Full recovery and final shape visible
You’ll wear a supportive medical bra for about six weeks to aid healing and help maintain the new position. Dr. Kerem and his medical team provide detailed aftercare instructions and close follow-up to ensure optimal healing.
Combination Procedures
For many women, a breast lift is part of a larger rejuvenation plan:
- Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation-Mastopexy):
Combines lifting and volume enhancement for fuller, perkier results. - Breast Lift with Reduction:
Lifts and reduces volume simultaneously for lighter, more proportionate breasts. - Mommy Makeover:
Integrates breast lift with tummy tuck or liposuction for post-pregnancy body restoration.
Each plan is individualized. Dr. Kerem’s focus is on balance, not size alone.
Before & After Transformation
A breast lift can dramatically yet naturally rejuvenate the body’s proportions.
Patients often describe feeling “like themselves again”, more confident in clothes, posture, and daily life.
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Will a breast lift change my cup size?
Not significantly. It repositions and reshapes your existing tissue for a firmer, more lifted look.
2.Are the results permanent?
Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight and proper support. Natural aging continues, but your breasts will always remain higher and firmer than before surgery.
3.Can I breastfeed after mastopexy?
Yes, in most cases. The milk ducts are preserved whenever possible, but individual evaluation is important.
4.Are scars visible?
Scars are discreet and fade significantly over time. Dr. Kerem uses fine sutures and advanced closure techniques to minimize their appearance.
5.When can I return to work?
Most patients return to desk jobs within a week. Full physical activities can resume after six weeks.
