Breast lift surgeries are referred to as mastopexy in the medical literature. With mastopexy, breast lift operations, sagging breasts are recovered, lifted and more upright breast structures are obtained.

Conditions such as sagging and loss of elasticity in the breast structure are called breast atrophy. It is the sagging seen in excessive weight loss, pregnancy or after menopause. Developing breast atrophy is destroyed by mastopexy operation.

Those under the age of 18 are not both legally and physically eligible for mastopexy. However, it can be applied to people who are considered legally of age, if they experience breast sagging problems.


Although breast sagging is mostly seen in advanced ages, it is also experienced in excessive weight gain and loss. For this reason, it is more correct not to give a clear age range. It can be applied to all breast tissues with sagging.

There is no non-surgical solution to breast sagging, but it is possible to intervene with breast lift surgery. Sagging breast tissues are recovered with mastopexy operation, a fuller, upright and voluminous breast appearance is obtained.

In breast lift operations that last approximately 2 hours, a vertical incision is made from the under-breast line to the nipple and a horizontal incision is made along the under-breast line. The breast tissue is lifted up, the excess sagging tissue is cut and removed and the nipple is fixed by centering.

Breast lift operation alone does not cause unbearable pain. If a silicone implant will be applied together, the pain may increase. Generally, mild pains in the lifting operation pass within 1 week at the latest. It is recommended to consult your doctor for longer-lasting intense pain.

After the surgery, the firm and upright breast form softens over time, giving a natural and upright breast appearance. Although this new form does not show sagging, sagging may occur again in the future in the breasts, which are lubricated after weight gain after surgery. The reason for this is that the breast tissue growing with lubrication suddenly changes form with weight loss. In order to prevent this type of repetitive sagging, it is necessary not to gain or lose excessive weight after the surgery.

Muscle-building exercises in the pre-sagging period also help to improve the chest circumference. This type of exercise can be done to prevent sagging that may occur. However, there is no exercise that works for the recovery of the sagging experienced.

Breast tissues, whose structure consists of mammary glands and fat, lose their old upright and shapely appearance in the life cycle. Breast tissues begin to sag due to aging, rapid and excessive weight gain, hormonal changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, wrong bra use, sleeping in the wrong position, and a sedentary lifestyle.

False sagging (ptosis) is the condition in which the tissues in the lower part of the breast sag even though the nipple is up. This type of sagging is also corrected with breast lift surgeries.
