BREAST LIFT

Uplift, physically and emotionally.

“A breast lift redefines more than just shape — it restores a sense of self, especially after motherhood or weight loss.”

- Dr. Parag Mahadik

What is a Breast Lift?

It’s ideal for women whose breasts have flattened, drooped, or lost firmness due to ageing, weight loss, pregnancy, or natural body changes. If your breasts no longer match how you feel inside, this procedure can help restore balance and confidence.

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that elevates and reshapes sagging breasts. It removes excess skin, tightens loose tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to a higher, more youthful position on the chest wall. It’s one of the most popular Cosmetic surgeries for a reason—it has the power to be truly transformative. With our Mumbai Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Parag Mahadik’s expertise and careful attention to detail, your results will feel balanced, natural, and in harmony with your body shape.

At Esmee, our Sydney aesthetic surgeon, Dr. Parag Mahadik tailors every breast lift—from subtle reshaping to more dramatic results—based on your unique needs. Factors like breast size, tissue quality, skin elasticity, and your desired outcome all guide the process. If restoring volume is part of your goal, implants can be added to enhance fullness.

BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT



Restore a lifted, youthful breast contour that complements your frame and helps you feel more confident in your body.

  • Lifts sagging breasts and repositions downward-facing nipples.
  • Improves breast shape and firmness.
  • Restores symmetry between uneven breasts.
  • Enhances nipple size and position (if desired).
  • Reduces excess skin and improves skin tension.
  • Allows better fit in bras, swimwear, and clothing.


Most women describe a breast lift as freeing—a return to balance, lightness, and pride in their reflection. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or simply relaxing at home, the emotional boost that comes with feeling good in your skin is often just as powerful as the physical transformation.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BREAST LIFT?

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if:
1. Your breasts have lost shape or firmness
2. Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast fold
3. You want a easy way to give your breasts the look that you desire
4. You feel your breasts look deflated or too low on your chest
5. You’re at a stable weight and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
6. You’re healthy, emotionally ready, and have realistic expectations

However, not to worry, with the commended Mumbai Cosmetic surgeon Dr.Parag Mahadik in the chair, he will assess your breast tissue, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to recommend the right type of lift — with or without implants — for your unique anatomy.

YOUR BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE

A breast lift typically takes 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia, and you’ll usually go home the same day after a short recovery period. The surgical plan is tailored to your unique needs, depending on the degree of sagging and skin excess.


Incision Type
Dr. Parag Mahadik will choose one of three common incision approaches, based on your level of sagging - Circumareolar (Donut Lift), Lollipop (Vertical Lift), Anchor (Inverted-T Lift). Each technique is designed to minimize scarring while delivering natural-looking results.


Tissue Reshaping and Nipple Repositioning
Excess skin is carefully removed, and the underlying breast tissue is reshaped to create a firmer, more youthful contour. The nipple is repositioned higher on the chest wall for a more lifted appearance. If needed, the size of the areola can also be reduced to better match your new shape.


Optional Implant Placement
If you’re looking to restore volume or add fullness to the upper part of your breasts, implants can be placed during the same procedure (single-stage) or after you’ve healed from the lift (two-stage). This option is completely customizable based on your goals.


Closure and Dressing
The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, ensuring a smooth recovery. A supportive garment or surgical bra is applied to minimize swelling and help maintain your new shape as you heal.

RECOVERY AND RISKS FOR BREAST LIFTS

Recovery timeline:

  • Days 1–3: Expect some swelling, mild discomfort, and tightness—but don’t worry, pain relief will keep you comfortable.
  • Week 1: Light walking is encouraged to aid healing, and you’ll have a follow-up check in the clinic to ensure everything’s on track.
  • Week 2: You can ease back into desk work and light daily activities—just take it slow.
  • Week 4–6: Gradually resume exercise, including gym workouts and upper-body movements. Your body will thank you for being patient!
  • 3–6 Months: Your final breast shape will settle, and scars will continue to fade and soften over time.

Potential side effects:

  • General surgical risks: Bleeding, infection, or poor healing—though these are rare with proper care.
  • Sensation changes: Temporary or permanent loss of nipple or areola sensation can occur but often improves with time.
  • Asymmetry or irregular contours: Minor differences may occur, but Dr. Parag Mahadik prioritizes symmetry and balance.
  • Visible scarring: Scars are typically well-concealed, though they may take months to fully mature and blend into your skin.
  • Rare complications: In very rare cases, nipple necrosis (tissue damage) can occur, especially in high-risk lifts or for smokers.

YOUR BREAST LIFT RESULTS

The results of a breast lift are immediate—but they’ll continue to improve as swelling subsides and your tissues settle into place.

Firmer, rounder breasts with youthful projection: Your breasts will feel rejuvenated, with a natural lift that enhances your silhouette. A smoother, lifted look in and out of clothing: Whether you’re wearing a fitted top or lounging at home, your new shape will feel like you —just better.

Your body may weigh the same—but it will feel lighter. Many women say they rediscover the confidence to wear clothes that once felt off-limits, like swimsuits or form-fitting outfits. Plus, the improved support can make movement easier and posture more natural.

Improved symmetry in and out of clothes: Whether you’re wearing a swimsuit or a sweater, your new silhouette will look harmonious and natural. Many women describe feeling more self-assured—both personally and professionally. It’s not just about how you look; it’s about how you feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our services and features.

Yes, but only slightly. Since excess skin is removed, your breasts will look firmer, perkier, and more lifted—but they may measure a bit smaller. The focus is on creating a fuller, more youthful shape rather than just size.
Absolutely. Many women choose to add implants when they’ve lost volume, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. Dr Parag Mahadik, with his superior skill and expertise, can perform a breast lift with or without implants, either in one procedure or staged over time, depending on your goals and anatomy.
You will have scars, but they’re designed to fade over time and blend into your natural contours. Dr. Parag Mahadik uses advanced techniques to ensure the scars are as minimal and refined as possible, so they’re discreet and well-hidden.
Yes, absolutely. A breast lift is one of the most popular procedures for women looking to restore their shape after pregnancy or significant weight changes. It helps bring back balance and confidence, leaving you feeling more like yourself again.
If you have very large or sagging breasts, there’s a slightly higher risk of healing challenges or nipple-related complications. In some cases, a staged approach (separating the lift and implant procedures) may be safer and lead to better results.
The results can last many years, though natural ageing, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle factors will influence how long they endure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and wearing proper support (like a good bra) can help extend the longevity of your results.
