Having a more upright and fuller breast shape will always increase your self-confidence. Many women have concerns about the surgery to be performed prior to breast lift surgery.
What is Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery aims to correct the bad appearance caused by sagging breasts. In this surgery, excess skin tissues formed by sagging are removed. The breast tissues that have sagged downwards are moved upwards towards their previous places. At the same time, the nipple is raised to the required level.
A detailed examination of the patients should be performed before breast lift surgery. Breast sagging may be in different amounts and shapes in each patient. After the medical examination, it can be decided with which technique the patient will undergo breast lift. The aim of breast lift surgeries is to create a breast that the sagging is removed and the nipple is where it should be. In addition, an essential point is to perform the surgery in a way to leave the minimum scar.
Here, it is decided how big an incision will be made according to the shape of the patient's breast. Breast lift surgeries are performed under general anaesthesia and last an average of 2-3 hours. Drains are placed in each breast during the surgery. One night hospitalisation is required after the surgery. Drains are removed in an average of 3 days. You can usually travel within 10 days after the operation.

Patient Stories About Our Services
My experience with Dr Burak was amazing I flew from Spain and it was the best decision ever, excellent job and so professional I recommend it for sure
I have been Burak's patient for a long time. He has been successfully delivering his services at the best of quality and profession. His Clinic TrustMed is also a beautiful, comfortable and hygienic place equipped with clean and high-tech equipment. I would recommend him for any plastic surgeries.
I had prominent ear surgery a 2month ago and I was very pleased with the result. Doctor Burak is a very friendly, kind and talented doctor, he performed the surgery as I wanted and produced a wonderful result, I'm really gratefull to him and I'm going to tell everyone about my experience..
Though still active, by my late 40s I had grown some small love handles and a bit of a tummy. I found Quartz Clinique on Google but was impressed enough by videos and reviews to schedule a trip to do a hi-def lipo procedure with Dr. Burak. Literally overnight (after a 6 hour surgery under general anesthesia), my sides are now flat and I have 6-pack abs that I had no idea were under there! A year later I’m still amazed every time I see myself in a mirror. I’ve just made another trip because I discovered just how many services they perform, and at a fraction of the price of doing the same work in the U.S., but I’m realizing I’m remiss for not gushing about my experience last summer, which was transformational. As everyone attests, Dr. Burak could not be more kind or professional. After a consultation you walk away feeling 100% trust, and then he delivers on exactly what he says he’ll do. I can’t recommend him highly enough…
Thanks Dr. Burak for so amazing job, i’m more than happy with these amazing results, may god protect your amazing hands, for continuing making people smile and good looking

- Increased Comfort: Many patients experience relief from physical discomforts such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as improved mobility and comfort in clothing.
