Breast Lift Surgery

No woman wants sagging breasts. The beauty of breasts lies in their volume, shape, and firmness.  No matter what your age is, sagging breasts can cause a dent in your self-confidence. They do not look good; they are uncomfortable and feel heavy at all times.  Regular exercise and a correct posture do help in retaining the form of the breasts to some extent but it is hard to fight gravity and natural changes. Sagging breasts can be caused because of

  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding
  • Genetics
  • Weight change (gain and loss)
  • Improper bra and support wear
  • Gravity
  • Age

The above factors cause loss of elasticity and volume in the breasts and as the ligaments weaken, the breasts start to sag giving them a loopy and asymmetrical appearance. The good news is that a simple breast lift surgery in India can help solve this problem. Breast lift or mastopexy is a simple cosmetic procedure that takes less than three hours to perform and the results are visible immediately. Top plastic surgeons in India use various techniques for breast lift depending on the amount of sagging in the breasts. Skill cosmetic surgeons in India can create a natural looking, proportional breast shape using modern techniques based on your individual needs.

Best cosmetic surgeons in India decide on the suitable breast lift procedure after examining the condition of your breasts and your expectations.  Under the skilled hands of best cosmetic surgeons in Mumbai, breast lift will return your breasts to the natural youthful position. Breast lift’s basic procedure includes removing the excess skin on the breasts and tightening the surrounding tissue to crease a better breast silhouette. The plastic surgeon will also work in the nipples and areola region to restore their natural forward position. Mastopexy is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in India.  A breast lift is also done as a part of the ‘mommy makeover’ treatments in India, which help, rejuvenate a women’s body after pregnancy and breast lift.

Do you need a breast lift?

Top cosmetic surgeons in India are the qualified experts that can confirm whether you need a breast lift or not but before you schedule an appointment with the plastic surgery clinic you can answer the below questions and if the answer to these is yes then a breast lift will help improve the shape and elevation of the breasts:

  • Does the pencil stick? Do a pencil test. Place a pencil under your breasts and if the pencil falls down you don’t need the breast lift yet but if it sticks then you need a breast lift.
  • Are the nipples pointing downwards? Because of the stretching of skin, the nipples are pulled downwards.
  • Have the nipples/areola shifted below the crease of the breast? Position of the nipples with respect to the inframammary fold is an indication of breast sagging.  You can test this yourself by sliding a white paper under the breast crease and if you can see your nipples above below the top edge of the paper then the mount of sagging in your breasts need a breast life surgery to correct.
  • Are your breast appearing asymmetrical? By observing the position of breasts you will know if one of them appears different from another.
  • Do your breasts fit in your bra? When you wear the bra notice the shape that your breasts take. If they feel heavy and an ill fit then it is time to consult a good cosmetic surgeon for a breast lift.
  • Do your breasts look pendulum shaped when unsupported?

Breasts lift or Mastopexy surgery types and options

Breast lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. By using a judicious combination of these procedures along with the breast lift, top plastic surgeons in Mumbai can do a more comprehensive rejuvenation resulting in an evenly toned body shape.

At The Esthetic Clinics we understand that every woman’s body is different and everybody has a different pain threshold and response to treatment.  There is no one fit for all breast lift. This is why our best cosmetic surgeons in India work towards providing a customized and personalized plan for breast lift.  There are different options available for breast lift surgery depending on the suitable incision techniques and the existing breast tissue and extra skin to be removed. The most common incision techniques are:

Crescent lift or modified breast lift: Through this type of incision technique the cosmetic surgeon can correct minimal sagging. Women who have small amount of sag in their breasts benefit from this procedure. This incision technique involves minimal scarring. There is only one incision made half way along the top edge of the areola. This type of breast lift procedure is used to correct the positon of nipple and areola. It is often combined with breast augmentation surgery in Mumbai.  Crescent incision breast lift can also be used to correct nipple asymmetry.

Peri-Areolar  or Donut Breast lift or “Benelli” lift: This type of incision technique benefits women with mild sagging in breasts and lets the cosmetic surgeon perform a subtle breast lift. It is a relatively non-invasive surgical procedure in which a fine circular incision is made around the areola area and the cosmetic surgeon can tighten the tissues through the incision and tighten the breast skin. The scar is hidden in the dark pigment of areola. Best plastic surgeon in India combine the Donut lift with breast augmentation to increase the size of the breasts and pronounced sagging.

Vertical or “Lollipop” Lift: This type of breast lift surgery in India is most suitable for moderate sagging breasts and allows the plastic surgeon to completely reshape the breasts. Two incisions are made in this process: one on the edge of the areola and other made vertically from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease creating a lollipop type shape. The scaring is minimal and scars are hidden in the folds of the breast.  If you do not want implants then this can be the perfect breast lift surgery option to reshape the breasts.

Inverted T or “Anchor” Lift: This is one of the oldest procedures known for breast lifts for women who have considerable sagging almost like overhanging breasts.  An anchor shaped incision is made around the breast, starting from the perimeter of the areola and from there to the breast crease and the last one along the horizontal breast crease.  This breast lift procedure is often combined with the breast reduction treatment in Mumbai.  The scars are visible but can be hidden in a bikini top.

Scar less Breast lift or Non-surgical breast lift: This type of breast lift technique is used by top plastic surgeons in Mumbai to use specialized non-invasive cosmetic techniques to perform the breast lift along with breast augmentation. Rather than actually manipulating the breast skin and the issue underneath it, top cosmetic doctors in Mumbai use scar less techniques to lift the appearance of breasts. Top cosmetic surgeons in Mumbai use a combination of various techniques such as

  • Thermage
  • Laser liposuction
  • Quill threats
  • Aptos threading
  • Caci bust treatment
  • Vampire breast lift treatment based on platelet rich plasma therapy
  • Botox treatments
  • Dermal Fillers

Some of these breast lift treatment procedures require the cosmetic surgeon to make some small incisions but they are very minute and barely noticeable. The effect of the scar less procedures works only on mild breast sagging and lasts only for up to 2-3 years.
