Many women experience breast ptosis (characterized by sagging and drooping) due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural effects of gravity. Breast lift – also referred to as mastopexy – is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve a drooping breast appearance. Plastic surgeons administer this procedure by tightening skin in the breast area (without removal of breast tissue) in order to achieve a firmer and perkier position. In some cases, the nipple-areola complex will also be repositioned and improved for an overall youthful and attractive breast contour. Many women who receive this procedure enjoy increased levels of self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as an improved quality of life.

Do you have a nonsurgical breast lift?
New technologies such as radiofrequency assisted lipectomy offer a lot of promise for nonsurgical mastopexy. However, these upcoming techniques are only able to correct mild sagging and drooping. Surgery, on the other hand, offers impeccable results regardless of the degree of your sagging. During your initial consultation with Dr. THarish Ghildiyal, the surgeon will listen to your concerns and recommend the best possible way forward.
Will mastopexy affect my ability to breastfeed?
Plastic surgeons find that patients who are able to breastfeed before a mastopexy are able to do so after the procedure. During the surgery, the surgeon focuses on tightening excess skin and ligaments without the removal of breast tissue. This essentially means that glands, ducts, and other breast structures that are needed for breastfeeding will not be affected.
How long will results last?
Having a breast lift is tantamount to resetting the clock of breast sagging. This procedure improves the appearance of drooping breasts to deliver a youthful, perkier, and more attractive contour. However, keep in mind that certain life events such as weight fluctuations and future pregnancies can negatively impact on your results. Dr. Harish Ghildiyal recommend that you have a mastopexy after you are near your ideal weight, and have completed important milestones such as having children. Furthermore, you can maximize how long the results of this treatment last by maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and exercise regimen.
