Breast Lift + Enlargement (Round Implants), From £3,270

What Is a Breast Lift + Enlargement with Round Implants?

This combined procedure brings together two complementary techniques:

Breast lift (mastopexy): Removes excess skin, tightens the breast tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful height. This corrects sagging and restores shape.

Breast augmentation with round implants: Silicone round implants are placed to add volume and fullness. Round implants provide equal projection across the breast, creating a naturally fuller, rounder appearance, particularly in the upper portion of the breast where volume loss is most noticeable.

Round implants are distinguished from anatomical (teardrop) implants by their shape. They offer:

• Consistent fullness, the same projection from all angles, which means the result looks natural even if the implant rotates slightly
• Upper pole fullness, more volume in the upper breast area, addressing the "deflated" look that many women experience after pregnancy or weight loss
• A range of sizes, your surgeon helps you choose the right size for your frame, body proportions, and desired result

Your surgeon tailors the approach based on the degree of sagging, your desired size, your existing breast tissue, and your body proportions. The goal is a balanced, natural-looking result, not an obviously augmented appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate?

A breast lift with round implant enlargement may be right for you if:

• Your breasts have sagged and lost volume, they feel "empty" or deflated
• Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease
• You want both an improved position and increased fullness
• You have lost breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
• You are at a stable weight and in good general health
• You are a non-smoker (or willing to stop at least 4 weeks before and after)

This combination is particularly popular among women who have completed their families and want to restore the shape and volume they had before pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you are unsure whether you need a lift, implants, or both, your free consultation is the ideal place to start. Your surgeon will examine your breasts, discuss your goals, and recommend the approach that will give you the best result.

What Happens During Your Treatment?

Before Your Procedure

Everything begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. Your patient coordinator walks you through the procedure, discusses your size and shape goals, answers your questions, and helps you understand what to expect. Once you decide to go ahead, you receive your personalised treatment plan.

During Your Stay in Turkey

Your VIP transfer takes you from the airport to your 5-star hotel. The following day, you attend the hospital for pre-procedure assessments, blood tests, a physical examination, and a detailed face-to-face consultation with your surgeon. This is where your surgeon examines your breasts, helps you choose the right implant size using sizers and imaging, marks the incision lines, and confirms your treatment plan.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 2.5 to 4 hours. Your surgeon performs the lift first, removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple, and reshaping the breast tissue. The round implants are then placed (usually beneath the muscle or in a dual-plane position) to add volume and create the desired fullness. The incisions are closed with layered sutures.

You stay in hospital for 2 nights with round-the-clock nursing care. Your personal translator is with you throughout.

After Your Procedure

You return to your hotel for recovery. Your surgeon sees you for a follow-up before you fly home, checking your healing, reviewing dressings, and providing aftercare instructions. A supportive surgical bra is fitted and should be worn for several weeks.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from a combined breast lift and augmentation follows a similar timeline to a standalone breast lift, with a few additional considerations from the implants.

Days 1-3: Your breasts will feel swollen, tight, and tender. The implants sit high initially, this is normal. Pain is managed with prescribed medication. Sleep on your back in an elevated position. Avoid raising your arms above your head.

Days 4-7: Swelling and bruising begin to settle. The tightness eases slightly. Most patients switch to over-the-counter pain relief. Gentle walking is encouraged.

Weeks 1-2: Many patients feel well enough for desk-based work. Continue wearing your surgical bra at all times. Avoid lifting anything heavier than a kettle. The implants begin to settle into a more natural position, a process called "dropping and fluffing."

Weeks 2-4: Swelling continues to reduce. Your breast shape improves as the implants settle lower. Light daily activities become comfortable. Avoid upper body exercise.

Months 1-3: Gradual return to exercise. The implants continue to settle and soften. Avoid high-impact exercise and chest-focused work for at least 6 weeks. Sensation changes typically resolve during this period.

Months 3-6: Your breasts reach their final shape and position. Scars fade from red to thin, pale lines. Most patients see their best result between 3 and 6 months.

Your patient coordinator checks in regularly throughout your 12 months of included aftercare.

Risks and Considerations

A breast lift with augmentation is a well-established procedure performed thousands of times each year worldwide. As a combined procedure, the considerations are similar to those for each individual treatment.

Common effects (expected and temporary):

• Swelling and bruising, peaks in the first few days and resolves over 2 to 4 weeks
• Tightness, particularly in the first 1 to 2 weeks as the tissue adjusts to the implants
• Temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation, very common and usually resolves within weeks to months
• Scarring, your surgeon uses techniques to minimise visible scarring; scars fade over 12 to 18 months

Less common considerations:

• Capsular contracture, the body's natural scar tissue around the implant can sometimes harden, affecting the shape or feel. This is uncommon with modern implants and surgical techniques
• Implant position changes, the implant may shift slightly as swelling resolves; this is usually minor and settles naturally
• Asymmetry, minor differences between breasts are normal; significant asymmetry is rare
• Infection, minimised through sterile protocols and post-procedure antibiotics

How your safety is managed: Your procedure takes place in a government-licensed, JCI-accredited hospital with full surgical facilities. You receive 2 nights of round-the-clock nursing care, and your 12 months of aftercare ensures ongoing support.
