Breast Uplift Procedure Explained
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a common cosmetic procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts. At RG Aesthetics, a team of experienced professionals, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rajat Gupta, provide comprehensive care for patients seeking to restore their breast contour.
Consultation and Planning
The first step in the breast lift surgery process is a consultation with Dr. Gupta. During this appointment, he assesses breast size, shape, skin elasticity, nipple position, and the degree of sagging (ptosis) to choose the appropriate breast lift technique and incision type.
Preparation
Before the surgery, patients are advised to stop taking blood-thinning medicines like aspirin or anti-inflammatory for two weeks, stop smoking a month before and after the surgery, and arrange for post-surgery transportation. Blood tests may also be prescribed to ensure safety.
Anesthesia and Incisions
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or sedation in an operating room, usually as an outpatient procedure. Depending on the desired lift and degree of sagging, one of these incision patterns is made: Periareolar (Donut) lift, Vertical (Lollipop) lift, or Anchor lift.
Tissue Reshaping and Skin Removal
Excess skin is excised, and breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to create a firmer, more youthful breast contour. The areola size and nipple position may be adjusted to achieve symmetry and a natural look.
Closing Incisions
The incisions are closed with sutures, often placed to minimize visible scarring along natural boundaries like the areola border.
Recovery
Patients commonly experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising managed with pain medications and support garments. Most resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous exercise is typically restricted for 6 to 8 weeks to ensure proper healing. Sutures are removed after 2-3 weeks, and the breast continues to heal and take proper shape and contour.
Additional Considerations
Breast lift surgery doesn't affect future breastfeeding if done by an experienced surgeon. A compression bra or bandages may be recommended for breast support. Medication adjustments may be necessary before the surgery. If implants are used, they are inserted during the surgery.
Results
The surgery results in visible changes in the breast's shape, with a scar that becomes lighter over time. The procedure is suitable for women who have good physical health, saggy breasts, stretched skin or large areolas, realistic expectations, and one breast that falls lower than the other.

A breast lift won't change the size of your breasts significantly, but it can be combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction for size changes. Recreational drugs like cocaine should be stopped before the surgery.
