Documented Experience After Breast Lift + Implants With Dr Sedat Tatar

Kristina.
Breast lift with implants by Dr Sedat Tatar in August 2024. I noticed asymmetry from day one and later required a medically necessary revision in Australia. Sharing my documented experience to help others make informed decisions.

In August 2024, I underwent a breast lift with implants performed by Dr Sedat Tatar. I am sharing my personal experience in a factual way, based on documentation I received, written communication, and medical findings from my later revision surgery in Australia.

According to the operative report (epikriz) prepared by Dr Tatar, the procedure involved a superior-pedicle vertical (lollipop) lift with implants placed in a dual-plane position. The report described vertical skin excision but did not document internal sutures, capsulorrhaphy, fold reconstruction, pocket balancing, or adjustments for natural anatomical differences. Although my external scars healed in a T-pattern, the internal description corresponded to a vertical lift rather than a full structural T-lift.

From the first day after surgery, I noticed differences between the two breasts, including fold level, nipple height, and upper-pole volume. These differences became more noticeable over the following months. Before surgery, I understood my breast sagging to be Grade II–III. During my later revision assessment, my Australian surgeon explained that this degree of ptosis typically requires stronger structural support than a vertical lift alone.

Over eight months, I shared photos and raised concerns with the clinic. In written replies, my result was described as normal. I was offered a USD 1,500 soft-tissue removal without internal repair. Some responses stated that the décolletage appeared normal, that implant replacement was not needed unless I wanted to increase size, and that the procedure would be considered a second surgery rather than a revision. Based on what was later explained to me during my revision assessment, soft-tissue removal on its own does not address internal pocket position or implant displacement. From my perspective, this made the situation feel more cosmetic than structural.

During my evaluation in Australia, my surgeon documented implant displacement, reduced lower-pole support, and pocket-positioning concerns. Based on this assessment, the Australian health system classified my revision surgery as medically necessary due to implant displacement and asymmetry. In October 2025, the revision surgery involved a full T-lift, reconstruction of the implant pockets, placement of internal support sutures, and elevation of the inframammary fold. After this procedure, my breasts appeared symmetrical, supported, and stable.

Although I raised concerns early and provided photos, I did not receive an offer for a warranty revision. After I expressed disagreement with the proposed surgical approach and shared an independent surgical opinion, communication from the clinic eventually stopped. This situation involved significant stress, uncertainty, reduced self-confidence, and additional financial impact.

I hope that sharing my documented experience helps others make informed decisions when researching similar procedures.
