Breast Lift (Mastopexy) with Dr. Çağrı Sade
Lifting, reshaping, and rejuvenating sagging breasts
A breast lift (mastopexy) is performed to restore a better shape and position to sagging breasts that have changed over time due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, aging, or gravity. Even when breast size is acceptable, the breast can lose its fullness at the top and drop downward, and the nipple can sit lower than it should.
At Dr. Çağrı Sade’s clinic in Istanbul, breast lift surgery focuses on reshaping the existing breast tissue, tightening the skin envelope, and repositioning the nipple–areola complex to create a more youthful, uplifted, and natural-looking breast.
Why do breasts sag?
Breasts are highly affected by:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Repeated weight gain and loss
- Aging and loss of skin elasticity
- Genetic skin quality and breast structure
- Gravity over the years
As a result, the breast tissue can descend, the upper pole (top part of the breast) becomes emptier, and the nipple–areola may point downward or sit below the breast fold. Many women describe this as their breasts looking “deflated” or “empty and low” after having children or with age.
A breast lift with Dr. Cagri Sade addresses these issues by lifting and reshaping, not just “cutting skin.”
What does a breast lift do?
The goal of breast lift surgery is to:
- Lift and reshape the breast tissue
- Tighten the skin on top so it becomes firmer and more supportive
- Reposition the nipple and areola to a more ideal, youthful level
- Improve symmetry between the two breasts
- Restore a more youthful, rounded contour, especially in clothing and swimwear
During surgery, excess, stretched skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple–areola complex is moved to a higher, more central position on the breast mound.
Breast lift with or without implants
A breast lift can be performed:
- On its own, if the patient is satisfied with her volume but wants the breasts to be higher and firmer
- Combined with breast augmentation, if there is also a loss of volume and the patient wants fuller, rounder breasts, especially in the upper pole
At Dr. Cagri Sade’s clinic in Istanbul, breast lift and augmentation can be planned together in one operation when needed. This combination:
- Restores lost fullness
- Lifts and reshapes the breast
- Provides a more projected and youthful appearance
The choice of implant size, shape, and placement is made carefully to match the patient’s chest, body proportions, and desired result, without creating an exaggerated or unnatural look.
Who is a good candidate for breast lift surgery?
You may be a suitable candidate for a breast lift with Dr. Çağrı Sade if:
- Your breasts have lost their firmness and started to sag
- Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease
- You feel your breasts look “empty at the top and heavy at the bottom.”
- You have had pregnancies and breastfeeding that changed your breast shape
- You are at a relatively stable weight and in good general health
- You want a more lifted, youthful breast shape, with or without extra volume
During the consultation, Dr. Çağrı Sade evaluates the degree of sagging, skin quality, existing breast volume, and your expectations to decide whether a breast lift alone or a lift with implants is the best option.
How a breast lift with Dr. Çağrı Sade is performed
In a breast lift operation:
- The skin envelope is tightened and excess skin is removed
- The breast tissue is reshaped into a firmer, more rounded form
- The nipple and areola are moved to a higher, more ideal position
- If needed, the areola can be reduced in size for better proportion
- When combined with augmentation, an implant is placed to restore lost fullness
Incisions are planned to follow natural lines and usually end up around the areola and vertically down, sometimes extending into the crease depending on the technique and the degree of sagging.
The aim is a lifted, natural breast that sits correctly on the chest and looks balanced in and out of clothing.
