Our highly skilled surgeon, Dr. Ram, uses safe and modern techniques to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your silhouette and boost your self-confidence.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to lift and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This procedure is perfect for individuals whose breasts may have drooped due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. By repositioning the breast tissue and nipples, a breast lift procedure can restore a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing breast profile.
It is possible to combine a breast lift with various other breast procedures, such as:
- Breast Reduction: For women with overly large, sagging breasts, combining a breast lift with breast reduction can improve both the size and shape of the breasts simultaneously. This approach helps alleviate discomfort from heavy breasts while also providing a more youthful contour.
- Breast Augmentation: Some patients opt for the breast lift procedure along with breast augmentation using implants to achieve both elevation and increased volume. This combination can restore fullness to the upper part of the breasts, offering a more rounded and youthful appearance.
- Breast Liposuction: When excess fat is present in the breast area, breast liposuction can be performed alongside a breast lift. This technique helps contour the breast shape without significantly removing breast tissue.
- Breast Fat Fill: Fat transfer from other areas of the body can also be combined with a breast lift to enhance breast volume. This method elevates the breasts and improves their fullness using the patient’s own fat.
- Inverted Nipple Correction: If a patient has inverted nipples along with sagging breasts, a nipple reduction procedure can address these issues. A breast lift can correct breast sagging while also releasing the tissue that causes inverted nipples.
- Axillary Tail Breast Procedure: If breast tissue extends into the axillary area (the tail of Spence), a breast lift can address this. Dr. Ram can remove excess tissue while elevating the breasts, creating a more contoured profile.
Benefits of a Breast Lift
The primary benefit of a breast lift surgery is a comprehensive aesthetic improvement in the shape and appearance of the breasts. Other advantages include:
- Improved Self-Confidence: Many patients feel more attractive and confident following the procedure.
- Clothing Fit: Women often find that their clothes fit better and they feel more comfortable in swimwear and form-fitting clothing.
- Youthful Appearance: The procedure can create a younger-looking breast contour, enhancing overall body proportions.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Breast Lift?
Ideal candidates for a breast lift are individuals who:
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the breast lift surgery.
- Are experiencing sagging breasts due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.
- Have nipples that point downward or are positioned below the breast crease.
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure to promote better healing.

What to Expect During Your Breast Lift Procedure
During your breast lift consultation, Dr. Ram will evaluate your breast structure and discuss your desired outcome. The surgery itself typically lasts between one to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the level of lift needed, various incision techniques may be used, including the anchor, lollipop, or periareolar methods. Each technique aims to minimize scarring while delivering the best results.
Breast Lift Recovery and Aftercare Tips
After your breast lift procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. It’s essential to follow the recovery guidelines, which typically include wearing a supportive bra, avoiding heavy lifting, and restricting strenuous activities for several weeks. Most patients can return to work within a week, but full recovery may take several months.
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?
The cost of a breast lift in India typically ranges from ₹60,000 to ₹2,00,000, depending on factors such as the surgeon’s expertise, the complexity of the surgery, and the facility’s location. During your breast lift consultation, we will provide a detailed cost breakdown.

FAQs about Breast Lift
Sometimes, age and gravity are not the causes of breast sagging. Right from adolescence, a small percentage of women develop breasts that are not naturally firm. Some others may experience sagging or a loss of shape due to aging, genes, weight loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Most women seeking breast correction or improvement can benefit from a lift, regardless of age. Ideal breast lift candidates have nipples below the crease level under the breast, where the breast meets the rest of the body.
Exercise and a healthy diet help tone muscles and improve health, but they do little to affect breast skin. Currently, only plastic surgery can reduce breast skin laxity.
Breastfeeding is always beneficial for the baby and mother. However, some Mastopexy procedures may cut milk ducts while repositioning the breasts, potentially affecting breastfeeding. The risk is minimal, but patients must discuss it with their surgeon before surgery.
Patients must stop smoking at least two weeks before surgery. The body needs to be nicotine-free. At Chennai Plastic Surgery, nicotine levels are tested before the procedure. If nicotine is present, surgery is canceled.
Mastopexy lifts sagging breasts and repositions the nipple/areola, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking breasts.
Stretch marks on the lower breasts may be removed where skin is excised. Skin tightening during Mastopexy can also smooth surrounding stretch marks.
Tissue is removed around the areola and below the breast to tighten it. The nipple is repositioned higher to create the lift.
Yes, Mastopexy is often combined with liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or reduction to achieve broader aesthetic goals.
Over time, the breasts may stretch or sag again. However, results typically last longer than with untreated skin due to improved contour.
There is a small risk of permanent loss of nipple sensation due to nerve disruption. If sensation doesn’t return within two years, it may be permanent.
Loss of Sensitivity: Temporary or permanent loss in breast or nipple sensation may occur due to nerve damage during surgery.
Scarring: Common after surgery. Includes hypertrophic scars and keloids. Scar gels and silicone sheets may reduce visibility over time.
Wound Separation: More common in smokers or diabetics. Keeping the area clean is essential for healing.
Skin or Nipple Loss: Poor circulation, especially in smokers or diabetics, increases this risk.
Asymmetry: Natural asymmetry may persist. Surgery can improve but not always perfect symmetry.
Blood Loss: Rare but may require transfusion. Avoid anticoagulants and certain supplements before surgery.
Hematoma: May cause swelling and pain. Requires immediate attention if one breast enlarges significantly.
Fat Necrosis: Rare; usually occurs in smokers or those with circulatory issues. Tissue turns orange and leaks fluid.
Infection: Usually appears within three days. Signs include swelling, redness, fever, and discharge.Dissatisfaction: Unrealistic expectations can lead to dissatisfaction. Patients should understand possible outcomes and limitations.
