Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Reshaping position, not promising perfection.

Simplified educational illustration, not a patient photograph or a prediction of results.

Understanding the treatment

Mastopexy removes excess skin and reshapes the breast envelope to address drooping. A lift is not primarily an operation to increase breast volume.

Auren Global Health helps coordinate your questions, consultation arrangements and practical planning in Istanbul. The responsible clinician determines diagnosis, suitability and any treatment recommendation.

Is it appropriate for you?

Skin quality, nipple position, asymmetry and changes after pregnancy or weight fluctuation guide assessment. Future pregnancy and weight changes can affect the result.

What to discuss at consultation

The surgeon explains the scar pattern and how the tissues would be repositioned. If additional volume is a goal, augmentation is a separate decision with additional considerations.

Recovery & follow-up

Expect swelling and a period of support and activity restrictions. Your clinician provides wound-care and follow-up instructions; scars change gradually as they mature.

Before making travel commitments, ask your clinical team about the expected review schedule, support you may need and when you can safely fly. Recovery varies and cannot be guaranteed by a package timetable.

Risks & important considerations

Risks include infection, delayed healing, asymmetry, changes in sensation, difficulty breastfeeding and tissue blood-supply problems.

Ask about reasonable alternatives, including no treatment, and the plan if complications arise. Informed consent should address your own health history and the specific procedure proposed.

04 — Continuing communication. Follow your clinical team’s recovery instructions and agreed review schedule.

Questions before you decide

Does a breast lift make breasts larger?

Not usually. It mainly changes position and contour. Volume increase requires a separate discussion rather than assuming a lift will provide it.

How much will my treatment cost?

An individual assessment is needed before a meaningful quotation can be provided. Ask for a written breakdown of treatment, investigations, accommodation or transfers where applicable, follow-up and any exclusions.

When can I return home?

Your clinician must advise on travel readiness after considering the treatment and your recovery. Leave flexibility for review appointments and unexpected delays.

Where can I find independent information?

Where do I begin?

Explore the treatment information and send your questions through our contact page. A consultation with the responsible clinician is needed before any treatment decision.

What determines whether treatment is suitable?

Your health, medical history, expectations and clinical assessment all matter. Alternatives, including no treatment, should be discussed. Results and recovery times vary.

Should I book travel before assessment?

Confirm the proposed care and appointment schedule first. Ask the clinical team about review appointments, recovery support and clearance to fly before making travel commitments.

What should I check before deciding?

Ask who will provide your care, where treatment will take place, what the risks and alternatives are, what follow-up is planned and what the written price includes or excludes.

How should follow-up be arranged?

Agree the review schedule and the contact route for recovery concerns before treatment. Follow the responsible clinical team’s instructions; urgent symptoms require local medical assistance.
