Most women would like their breasts to maintain its natural, perky, attractive shape, and proportion. However, with age, pregnancy, childbirth, fluctuations in weight, and as a result of gravity, the breasts lose their elasticity and firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift or mastopexy is a procedure to raise and reshape the sagging breasts to restore its beautiful, youthful shape and balance.
As you get older, the breasts begin to lose volume, projection, and position. A breast lift restores the drooping breasts to a more pleasing, lifted (higher), natural position with improved symmetry and shape to give you gorgeous breasts. A breast lift surgery may help boost your self-esteem and confidence. It can be combined with a breast augmentation if an improvement in size and volume is also desired. In larger, heavier breasts, a concomitant breast reduction is advised, as the weight of the breasts may cause the breasts to droop or sag again early after a breast lift.

Frequently asked questions about Breast Lift
Dr. Sudhanva will encourage you to list your concerns and discuss the changes you want to see. After a brief medical history and a physical examination, he will create a comprehensive plan keeping in mind your goals, desires, and existing anatomy. He will discuss the breast lift procedure in detail, including its advantages, disadvantages, risks, and complications.
A need for additional breast implants or breast reduction will be discussed if needed to accomplish your goals from surgery. It is advisable to complete your family before a breast lift as pregnancy or childbirth may again stretch your breasts and alter surgery.
Even though breastfeeding is possible after a breast lift in most patients, some women may have problems with producing milk.
Dr. Sudhanva will review your personalised surgical plan, anaesthesia, pre- and post-operative instructions, and follow up in detail and respond promptly to all your questions and concerns during these consultations. Photographic documentation for surgery will be done. You will undergo appropriate tests to assess your fitness for surgery.
A baseline mammogram or ultrasound may be advised before surgery. A firm, supportive, wireless sports bra for your recovery is ordered. A list of instructions to be followed before & after the procedure will be provided.
The surgery is usually performed as a daycare procedure under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 2 – 4 hours, depending on the procedure. Depending on the procedure, the incisions are placed around the areola (dark skin around the nipple), extending gently downward from areola to the breast crease and along the natural breast creases. Excess breast skin is removed, and breast glandular tissue rearranged with deep stitches to place the breast and nipple to a higher position. The areola size is reduced if required.
Since it’s a daycare procedure, the patient is observed for a few hours post-procedure and discharged the same evening. A wireless sports bra is advised for a minimum of 12 weeks. The result of surgery is immediately visible and improves over the next 3-6 months once all the swelling reduces and skin redrapes to a more firmer and taut contour. Post-operative instructions, medications, and emergency contact details are shared.
You will follow up with Dr.Sudhanva 5-7 days and 10-14 days after the procedure. Additional follow-ups are advised at 6 weeks,12 weeks, and 6 months after your surgery. A follow-up, along with breast screening, is recommended every year in the case of breast implants.
Details of Breast Lift in a Capsule
What is the staging/grading of breast ptosis or sag?
Breast ptosis or sag can be classified into four types.
Glandular Ptosis Or Pseudoptosis: It is drooping of the breast gland below the breast crease or inframammary fold, but the nipple-areola is positioned above the breast crease.
Grade I Ptosis or early breast ptosis: Both the breast gland and nipple-areola droop slightly below the breast crease
Grade II Ptosis or moderate breast ptosis: Both the breast Gland and nipple-areola droop more significantly below the breast crease
Grade III Ptosis or severe breast ptosis: The nipple-areola is facing down and is the lowest aspect of the drooping breast
The type of breast lift is decided based on the grade of breast ptosis or sag.
What is the most important factor to consider while deciding to get a breast lift?
Scars are the most important factor in influencing your decision of a breast lift. Perky, youthful, attractive, higher placed breasts come at the cost of some scars as in any cosmetic surgery.
What are the different surgeries performed for a breast lift?
For early breast ptosis, a peri-areolar / circumareolar / Benelli / Donut mastopexy may be performed where the incision is placed only around the areola.
For moderate breast ptosis, a lollipop/ vertical lift may be performed where an incision is placed around the areola and a vertical line extending below it.
For severe breast ptosis or larger breasts, inverted T, wise pattern or anchor breast lift is preferred where the incision is similar to lollipop but further extends into the breast crease.
A breast implant can be placed through the same incision to add further volume.
Will the recovery after breast lift be painful?
Recovery after a breast lift can be easily managed by oral pain killers. Mild discomfort and tightness may be present immediately after surgery, which disappears as the body adjusts to the change in the breasts within a few days.
When can I start exercising post breast lift surgery?
Light exercise can be resumed 1 week after surgery, and more vigorous exercises not involving the pectoral muscles can be resumed 6 weeks after surgery. A full unrestricted activity can be resumed 12 weeks after surgery.
When can I resume work after breast lift?
It usually depends on how you feel. Most patients safely resume work by 7-10 days post-surgery.
Will the scars be visible?
The scars are carefully planned within the areolae, along the gentle breast curve and breast creases to make them less conspicuous. The scars also fade over a period of time.
Are the results of breast lift permanent?
Breast lift performed in women with smaller breasts usually have long-lasting results, while larger heavier ones can begin to sag again over time due to weight and gravity.
What are the potential risks and complications of a breast lift?
The specific risks and complications associated with your breast lift surgery will be discussed in detail during your consultation with Dr. Sudhanva.
Will my insurance cover breast lift?
Breast lift is a purely cosmetic procedure and is not covered under insurance.
