Breast Lift and Reduction in Turkey
Lighter, lifted, and beautifully reshaped, combined breast lift and reduction from £2,820.
When your breasts are both heavy and sagging, a single procedure may not fully address both concerns. A breast lift corrects position and shape, while a reduction addresses size and weight. Combining the two gives you the best of both, lighter breasts that sit higher and look more youthful.
This combined procedure is particularly popular with women whose breasts have changed after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. The physical relief of lighter breasts combined with the visual improvement of a lifted shape can be genuinely transformative.
Your all-inclusive package from £2,820 covers your procedure at a government-licensed hospital, 2 nights in hospital, 5 nights in a 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, a personal translator, and 12 months of aftercare. The equivalent in the UK would typically cost £6,500-£9,000.
What Is Breast Lift + Reduction?
A breast lift and reduction is a combined procedure that simultaneously reduces the size of your breasts and lifts them to a higher, more youthful position on your chest wall.
Your surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the overall volume. The remaining breast tissue is then reshaped and tightened, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher on the breast mound. The result is breasts that are both smaller and perkier.
The incision pattern depends on the amount of tissue being removed and the degree of lift required. Most patients require either a lollipop incision (around the areola and vertically down to the crease) or an anchor incision (which adds a horizontal line along the breast crease).
This combined approach is more efficient than having a lift and reduction as separate procedures. Your surgeon can balance size reduction with optimal shaping in a single session, creating a proportionate result that addresses both concerns at once.
Am I Suitable?
You may be a good candidate for a breast lift and reduction if you:
- Have heavy breasts that also sag or droop significantly
- Experience physical symptoms like back pain, neck pain, or shoulder grooving
- Want both a size reduction and a lifted, reshaped appearance
- Are at a stable weight and in good general health
- Have completed your family (pregnancy may affect results)
- Do not smoke, or can stop 4-6 weeks before the procedure
This procedure is a good option if you would benefit from both a reduction in volume and a correction in breast position.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Before your trip: Video consultation to discuss your goals, current and desired breast size, and medical history. Pre-operative instructions provided.
Day 1, Arrival: VIP airport transfer to your 5-star hotel.
Day 2, Procedure day: Final surgeon consultation with markings. The combined procedure takes approximately 2.5-3.5 hours under general anaesthesia.
Days 3-4, Hospital stay: Private room recovery with nursing care. Surgical bra fitted. Drains monitored and typically removed before discharge.
Days 5-7, Hotel recovery: Daily patient coordinator visits. Light walking encouraged. Noticeable difference in breast size and position even while swollen.
Day 8, Departure: Final check-up, aftercare instructions, and airport transfer.
Months 1-12: Regular aftercare check-ins with your patient coordinator.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from a combined breast lift and reduction follows a similar timeline to a standard breast reduction.
Week 1: Moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort managed with prescribed medication. Wear your surgical bra continuously. Sleep on your back. Avoid lifting.
Weeks 2-3: Swelling begins to subside. Light daily activities and desk work are usually possible. Your breasts will already feel lighter.
Weeks 4-6: Most patients return to their normal routine. Gradually reintroduce exercise, starting with gentle activity and building up.
Months 2-3: Your breast shape continues to refine as swelling resolves. Scars begin to mature and lighten.
Months 6-12: Final results become visible. Your breasts settle into their new position, and scars continue to fade for up to 18 months.
Risks & Considerations
Risks are similar to those of breast reduction alone: infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, asymmetry, and potential difficulty breastfeeding.
Combining a lift with a reduction does not significantly increase the risk compared to either procedure alone, as they involve similar techniques and tissue handling.
Your procedure is performed in a government-licensed, JCI-accredited hospital. The 12-month aftercare programme ensures you have continuous support throughout your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
A breast reduction primarily focuses on removing tissue to reduce size. A combined lift and reduction places equal emphasis on both reducing volume and repositioning the breast higher on the chest wall. The combined procedure is ideal when you have both heaviness and significant sagging.
Most patients reduce by 1-3 cup sizes, depending on starting size and goals. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations and help you choose a proportionate target size during your consultation.
Yes, your nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher on the breast mound as part of the lift. In most cases, the nipple stays attached to the underlying tissue (maintaining blood supply and sensation), and the surrounding skin is reshaped around it.
Yes. Combining breast work with a tummy tuck is the basis of a mummy makeover. We offer MMO Lite and MMO Premium packages that bundle these procedures at a reduced all-inclusive price. Ask your patient coordinator for details.
You will need to wear your surgical support bra for 4-6 weeks after the procedure. After that, you can transition to a soft, non-wired bra. Most patients can wear a normal underwired bra from around 8-12 weeks, once swelling has fully resolved.
