Breast lift techniques: which is right for you?
Periareolar (Benelli)
Mild ptosisIncision only around the areola edge. Minimal scarring. Suitable for mild drooping with little excess skin to remove.
Vertical (Lollipop)
Moderate ptosisIncision around the areola plus a vertical line to the breast crease. Most common technique. Excellent shape with manageable scarring.
Anchor (Inverted-T)
Significant ptosisAdds a horizontal incision along the breast crease. Required for significant drooping or large volume reduction. Provides the most reshaping ability.

Breast lift in Turkey: frequently asked questions
How much does a breast lift cost in Turkey?
A breast lift (mastopexy) in Turkey costs $2,300–$3,800 all-inclusive, compared to $5,700–$10,150 in the UK. The all-inclusive price covers pre-operative consultation, surgery, anaesthesia, hospital stay, post-operative bra, and aftercare coordination. Adding implants (augmentation-mastopexy) costs $3,200–$5,100 in Turkey.
What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?
A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and repositions the existing breast tissue to a higher, firmer position; it does not significantly change breast size. Breast augmentation adds volume using implants. Many patients combine both: augmentation-mastopexy adds volume while restoring position in a single procedure. If you want higher placement and more fullness, the combined procedure is the most common choice.
Is a breast lift safe in Turkey?
NexWell coordinates patients with TEMOS-accredited clinics or Ministry of Health–licensed hospitals in Istanbul. All surgeons are board-certified plastic surgeons (TSPRAS), many with additional fellowship qualifications from European or North American boards. Turkey performs hundreds of thousands of aesthetic surgeries annually for international patients under nationally regulated clinical standards.
How long is recovery after a breast lift?
Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks. Plan 7–10 days in Istanbul for post-operative recovery and checks before flying. A post-surgical bra is worn for 4–6 weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 6 weeks. Final results, with scars faded, are visible at 6–12 months.
Will a breast lift leave noticeable scars?
All breast lift techniques require incisions, so scarring is unavoidable. The extent depends on the technique: a periareolar lift (Benelli) leaves a scar only around the areola; a vertical (lollipop) lift adds a vertical scar below; a full anchor lift adds a horizontal crease incision. Surgeons select the technique based on the degree of ptosis (drooping). Scars typically fade from pink to near-skin-tone within 12–18 months.
Can a breast lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A breast lift is most commonly combined as part of a mommy makeover, alongside tummy tuck and liposuction, in a single surgical session. Implants can also be added in the same session (augmentation-mastopexy). Combining procedures reduces total cost and recovery time compared to staging procedures separately.

Read guideWhat a clinic should ask you for before surgery
None of this is legally compulsory, and that is exactly what makes it useful. What a clinic asks for when nothing forces it tells you how that clinic works. So read the list twice: once as the work-up you should have done, once as a measure of the clinic in front of you.
Blood tests
These are read together, as one picture, not ticked off one by one. A team planning surgery without a recent set of them is planning half-blind.
Complete blood count (CBC / hemogram)
The overall picture of your blood: anaemia, signs of infection, platelet levels. It is the baseline any surgical team wants in front of it before starting.
Blood glucose
Blood sugar affects how you heal and how prone you are to infection after a procedure. What is needed is a current reading. A result from three years ago tells nobody anything.
Coagulation tests (PT, INR)
How quickly your blood clots. The team plans around bleeding on the basis of it, and all the more so if you take blood thinners.
Infection safety
These three are taken as routine, not as a judgement about you: they protect you, the team, and the patient who comes after you. What a result means belongs to your doctor, not to a search engine.
HBsAg (Hepatitis B)
Screening for hepatitis B. Theatre scheduling and instrument handling are organised around it.
Anti-HCV (Hepatitis C)
Screening for hepatitis C. It often goes years without symptoms and shows up only in the lab.
HIV 1/2
Standard screening before an operation. A serious clinic asks for it in order to plan safely, not in order to judge you.
Bisphosphonate use
Bisphosphonates are bone medicines, most often taken for osteoporosis, sometimes as part of cancer treatment. In the jaw they matter more than anywhere else: in people who take them, or who took them in the past, an implant or an extraction carries a risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The effect on bone can outlast the final dose, so a course you finished years ago still counts.
This is not something you book at a lab. It is a question about your medication history. If you take a bisphosphonate, or ever have (under any brand name, as tablets or as an infusion), say so before a treatment plan is written, not after. Bring the name of the drug and, if you know them, the dates. A clinic that never asks what you take has not assessed you.
A good clinic asks you for all of this on its own. If yours doesn't, ask why. The side that writes your treatment plan should not be the only side judging it. This list is the simplest way to keep that judgement in your own hands.
This section is not a medical assessment and does not prescribe tests. Which of these apply to you, and what any result means, is a conversation with your own doctor and with the clinic performing the procedure.
