No, it mainly reshapes and lifts. However, if desired, a breast lift can be combined with augmentation or reduction.
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. Unlike breast reduction, this surgery does not significantly change breast size but improves firmness, contour, and youthful positioning of the breasts.
At Rao Aesthetics, we specialise in natural-looking, balanced results that restore both confidence and comfort for women experiencing breast sagging due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations.
You may consider a breast lift if you have:
• Sagging or drooping breasts (ptosis)
• Nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
• Stretched skin and enlarged areolas
• Loss of firmness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or major weight loss
• A desire for more youthful, perky breasts without significantly reducing volume
Many women in India seek breast lift surgery to rejuvenate their appearance while maintaining their natural breast tissue.
• Anesthesia: Performed under general anesthesia for comfort.
• Incisions: Depending on the degree of lift required, incisions may be around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes along the crease.
• Reshaping & Lifting: Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is lifted, and the areola/nipple is repositioned to a more natural height.
• Closure: Dissolvable sutures are placed, and dressings are applied.
Duration: The surgery typically takes 2–3 hours.
• Hospital Stay: Same-day discharge or overnight observation.
• Swelling & Bruising: Common for the first 1–2 weeks.
• Support Bra: A post-surgical bra is worn for 4–6 weeks.
• Activities: Resume light activities in a few days; avoid heavy lifting or exercise for 4–6 weeks.
• Scars: Fade gradually but may remain faintly visible.
