MASTOPEXY
Mastopexy surgery in Mumbai
Mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure to raise the sagging or drooping breasts higher up on the chest wall by changing the size and contour of the breasts and the position of the nipple-areola complex. Mastopexy can be done as a stand-alone procedure, or it can be combined with breast augmentation using implants to replace a significant volume loss. Dr. Ashish Ghuge offers the most accurate mastopexy surgery in Mumbai by combining different cosmetic surgical techniques.
WHY MAY YOU WANT A BREAST LIFT SURGERY IN MUMBAI?
- Your breasts have sagged post breastfeeding. They have lost their shape and have become flatter and longer, with hollowness in the upper part.
- You have lost a lot of weight, following which you don’t like the appearance of deflated breasts.
- Your nipples fall much below your inframammary fold when your breasts are unsupported.
- Aging has caused your breasts to sag, giving you the appearance of a flat chest.
- You have asymmetrical breasts, with one breast sagging and the other higher up on the chest wall.
- You think your breasts have lost their original volume and are sagging as well.
MASTOPEXY PROCEDURE:
The surgery is done under general anesthesia and usually requires a one-day stay at the hospital.
The cuts are made around the areola and then extending down to the fold under your breasts with a horizontal continuation along the fold if necessary.
The excess skin is removed, the size of your areola is reduced if needed, all of the breast tissue is reshaped and used to fill up the upper poles of your breasts.
Most often, the breast tissues can be redistributed to get the desired volume. In case of significant volume loss, adding implants to the mastopexy procedure can give the desired volume and shape.
A tube is placed within to drain any excess fluid or blood. The tube will usually be removed 24 hours after your breast lift surgery in Mumbai at our clinic.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR MASTOPEXY SURGERY IN MUMBAI?
You will notice an immediate change in your breasts in terms of the lift, the position and size of your nipple-areola, and the overall round contour of your breasts, as well as the fullness in the upper pole. Though the scars are permanent, they definitely soften and fade over a period of one year. You will be advised creams and silicone tapes to help further reduce the scars.
AFTERCARE FOR RECOVERING FROM YOUR BREAST LIFT SURGERY:

- You may notice a change in your bra size as your breasts have now become firmer and rounder.
