Top Questions on Breast Lift Surgery

Age, pregnancy, weight changes, and gravity can all cause breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. A breast lift (mastopexy) can restore a more lifted, youthful look — and with modern techniques, it’s safer and more natural‑looking than ever.

At Panache Aesthetics, Delhi, Dr. Ankit Gupta and our team answer many common questions from patients who feel self‑conscious about sagging breasts. Here’s a patient‑friendly guide to help you understand if a breast lift is right for you.

1. Who is the right candidate for a breast lift?

You might consider a breast lift if:

• Breasts look saggy or flattened

• Nipples point downward or sit below the breast fold

• You want better shape and firmness, not necessarily a size change

• You’re healthy, not planning major weight changes or future pregnancy soon

---

2. Will a breast lift increase breast size?

A breast lift reshapes and tightens the breast, giving a firmer, perkier appearance — but it doesn’t add volume.

If you also want larger breasts, you might combine it with breast augmentation (implants). If you prefer smaller, lighter breasts, you can combine it with breast reduction.

3. What happens during breast lift surgery?

Dr. Ankit Gupta will:

• Remove excess skin

• Reposition breast tissue and lift the nipple‑areola to a youthful position

• Reshape the breast mound for a rounder look

The procedure usually takes 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia.

4. Is there visible scarring?

Yes, but scars usually fade over time. Common incision patterns include:

• Around the areola (donut)

• Around the areola + vertical to breast fold (lollipop)

• With an extra horizontal scar in the fold (anchor)

Your surgeon will choose the technique that suits your breast shape and desired lift.

5. What is recovery like?

• Most patients go home the same day or next day

• Wear a support bra for several weeks

• Swelling and mild discomfort are common and improve over 1–2 weeks

• Avoid heavy lifting or exercise for 4–6 weeks

Most women return to desk jobs in about a week.

6. Are results permanent?

A breast lift can last many years, but breasts will still age naturally. Maintaining stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps keep results longer.

---

7. How do I choose the right surgeon?

Choose a board‑certified Plastic Surgeon, experienced in cosmetic breast surgery. Ask:

• Before/after photos

• Surgery plan and scar pattern

• Whether your hospital/clinic is Delhi Medical Council registered

---

8. How much does breast lift cost?

Cost depends on technique, whether it’s combined with augmentation/reduction, and hospital stay. A consultation helps us give an exact quote based on your goals.
