Breast Lift Turkey — Mastopexy Istanbul from €2,660 — Frequently Asked Questions

At MedProper Istanbul, a breast lift (mastopexy) starts from £2,863 / $3,655 / €3,350 all-inclusive in 2026. A combined breast lift with augmentation starts from £4,600 / $5,870 / €5,382. All prices include the surgeon fee, hospital stay, five-star hotel, VIP transfers, and 12-month aftercare. There are no hidden charges.

A breast lift in the USA ranges from $7,500 to $11,000 at a private clinic, with combined lift-and-augmentation often exceeding $13,000 in cities like New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. At MedProper, the same procedures cost from $3,655 (lift alone) or $5,870 (lift with augmentation) all-inclusive. After adding a return flight ($400 to $700 via Turkish Airlines from major US cities), the total spend is roughly half the US price.

The price difference reflects structural economics: lower hospital operating costs, a favourable exchange rate, and significantly higher cosmetic surgery volume. Turkey performs over 1.2 million cosmetic procedures annually. MedProper operates in a JCI-accredited hospital and employs board-certified surgeons with ISAPS membership — the same credentials required at top UK and US clinics.

Yes. MedProper is JCI-accredited and surgery is performed by ISAPS-member board-certified plastic surgeons in a fully equipped hospital with overnight monitoring. JCI accreditation requires compliance with over 1,400 safety standards — more than the UK Care Quality Commission mandates.

A standalone breast lift takes approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the technique. A combined breast lift with augmentation takes 2 to 3 hours. All procedures are performed under general anaesthesia.

Yes, all breast lifts produce some scarring. The extent depends on the technique: a donut lift leaves a scar around the areola only; a lollipop lift adds a vertical scar beneath the areola; an anchor lift adds a scar along the breast crease. Scars are strategically placed to be hidden by bras and swimwear. They fade significantly over 12 to 18 months and can be further improved with silicone scar gel.

Yes. A combined mastopexy-augmentation is one of the most popular procedures at MedProper. It addresses both sagging and volume loss in a single operation, with one anaesthetic and one recovery period. The combined procedure starts from £4,600 / $5,870 / €5,382 all-inclusive.

Yes. A standalone breast lift repositions the nipple, removes excess skin, and reshapes existing breast tissue to create a firmer, higher profile — without adding any volume. A lift alone is ideal if you are happy with your breast size but unhappy with sagging or drooping.

Breast augmentation increases size and fullness using implants or fat transfer. A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts without significantly changing their volume. Augmentation is for women who want to be larger; a lift is for women who want to be higher and firmer. Many patients benefit from both — the combined procedure adds volume while correcting sagging.

Breast lift results are long-lasting but not entirely permanent. Gravity continues to act on breast tissue, and natural ageing causes gradual changes over time. Most patients enjoy their results for 10 to 15 years or longer. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing a supportive bra can help preserve the result.

Temporary changes in nipple sensation — either numbness or hypersensitivity — are common in the first weeks to months after surgery. Permanent loss of sensation is rare (less than 1 per cent) and is more likely with anchor lifts that involve significant tissue rearrangement. Your surgeon takes care to preserve nerve pathways during the procedure.

In many cases, yes. However, breast lift surgery involves repositioning the nipple, which may affect milk duct integrity. Your surgeon uses techniques that preserve as much duct tissue as possible, but complete preservation cannot be guaranteed. If future breastfeeding is a priority, discuss this during your consultation.

Most patients fly home 5 to 7 days after surgery. Flights from London to Istanbul take approximately 3.5 hours. From New York, Turkish Airlines offers direct flights of around 10 hours. Wear your surgical support bra during the flight and stay well hydrated.

Light walking is encouraged from day one. Light exercise (walking, stationary cycling) can resume at 4 to 6 weeks. Upper body exercises and weight training are typically cleared at 2 to 3 months, once healing is complete.

Significant weight gain can increase breast volume and cause renewed sagging. Significant weight loss can reduce breast volume and alter the result. For the best long-term outcome, we recommend being at or near your target weight before surgery and maintaining it afterwards.

There is no single best age. Most breast lift patients are between 30 and 55, but the procedure can be performed on any adult with a medical need. The key consideration is whether you have completed your family — future pregnancies may affect the result.

If your breasts sag but you are happy with their volume, a lift alone is appropriate. If your breasts are small but do not sag, augmentation alone is the answer. If your breasts have both sagged and lost volume (common after pregnancy or weight loss), a combined lift with augmentation delivers the best result. Your MedProper surgeon will advise during the free consultation.
