Breast lift surgery (Mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height, improving overall breast contour.
Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not significantly increase breast size. Instead, it enhances firmness and position, creating a lifted and rejuvenated appearance.
Dr. Pushpendra Kanaujia selects the surgical technique based on the degree of sagging and skin elasticity.
This technique involves a small incision along the upper half of the areola. It is suitable for minimal sagging and provides subtle lifting with limited scarring.
This method involves a circular incision around the areola. It is ideal for mild to moderate sagging and allows reshaping with minimal visible scarring.
The vertical technique includes an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. It is commonly used for moderate sagging and provides significant reshaping and lifting.
This technique is used for more significant sagging. It involves incisions around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease. It allows maximum reshaping and removal of excess skin.
Breast augmentation enhances body proportion and creates a more balanced silhouette. Many women experience improved self-confidence and body image after surgery. The procedure restores fullness that may be lost due to pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations. It can also improve breast symmetry and clothing fit, allowing patients to feel more comfortable in their appearance. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Pushpendra Kanaujia, results are natural-looking, proportionate, and long-lasting.

During the procedure:
Excess skin is removed.
Breast tissue is reshaped and lifted.
The nipple and areola are repositioned to a youthful height.

After surgery:
Mild swelling and tightness are expected
A supportive surgical bra is worn
Discomfort is manageable with medication
Most patients return home the same day
Detailed post-operative instructions are provided to ensure smooth healing.
Recovery after breast lift surgery is progressive. During the first week, patients may experience mild swelling, tightness, and bruising. Light activities can typically resume within 7 to 10 days. Most patients return to non-strenuous work within two weeks. Swelling gradually decreases over the next several weeks, and scars begin to mature and fade over time. Final results are usually visible within 2 to 3 months as the breasts settle into their new lifted position. Wearing a supportive bra during recovery helps maintain results and promote proper healing.

A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and elevates sagging breasts without significantly increasing size. Breast augmentation, on the other hand, increases breast volume using implants or fat transfer. In some cases, both procedures can be combined for enhanced lift and fullness.
A breast lift primarily removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue. While the breasts may appear slightly smaller due to tightening and lifting, the procedure is not designed for significant size reduction. If size reduction is desired, breast reduction surgery may be more appropriate.
Breast lift results are long-lasting; however, natural aging, gravity, weight changes, and pregnancy can affect the breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive garments can help prolong results.
Yes, breast lift surgery involves incisions, so some scarring is expected. However, incisions are strategically placed around the areola and along natural breast contours. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable with proper care.
Most patients resume light daily activities within 7–10 days and return to non-strenuous work in about two weeks. Swelling gradually reduces over several weeks, and final results are usually visible within 2–3 months.
