Restore firmness and youthful contours with Mastopexy, also known as a breast lift. At Saxena Aesthetics and Nanavati MAX Super-speciality Hospital, Dr. Bharat Saxena, an award-winning plastic surgeon, performs advanced cosmetic breast surgeries using refined techniques tailored to each patient. Whether you’re experiencing breast sagging due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy, Mastopexy provides an effective and natural-looking solution.
What is Mastopexy (Breast Lift)?
Mastopexy is a cosmetic breast surgery designed to elevate, reshape, and firm sagging breasts. It removes excess skin, tightens surrounding tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex for a more youthful appearance. Unlike augmentation, this procedure does not add volume but enhances breast shape and position.
Common Indications
- Post-pregnancy sagging causing loss of breast volume and firmness
- Natural aging resulting in downward‑pointing nipples and stretched skin
- Significant weight loss leading to loose or deflated breast appearance
- Asymmetry correction when one breast sags more than the other
Techniques Used
- Wise pattern or anchor incision for moderate to severe ptosis
- Vertical or lollipop lift for moderate sagging with minimal scarring
- Donut (periareolar) lift for mild sagging and areola repositioning
- Internal sutures used to shape and support the new breast contour
About the Surgery/Treatment
Mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia as a day-care or overnight procedure. Depending on the extent of sagging, different incision patterns may be chosen. The goal is to lift the breast tissue, improve symmetry, and restore a youthful shape without implants.
Treatment Process
- Preoperative planning with detailed measurements and markings
- Incision around the areola and/or vertically down the breast
- Excess skin is removed and breast tissue reshaped
- Nipple and areola repositioned to a more youthful height
Benefits of this Surgery
- Enhances breast shape and firmness naturally
- Improves posture and self‑confidence
- Does not involve implants—ideal for natural results
- Can be combined with augmentation if volume enhancement is desired
Mastopexy is a safe and transformative procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon. Dr. Bharat Saxena brings years of microsurgical precision and aesthetic expertise to every breast reshaping procedure.
What to Expect After Surgery

While traveling in Mumbai, our toddler fell on the stairs and suffered a deep lip cut. We were fortunate to be treated by Dr. Saxena at Nanavati Hospital, and the care we received was exceptional. From our first conversation through the procedure and follow-up, Dr. Saxena was compassionate, professional, and reassuring. He provided clear instructions, made the admission process smooth, and took the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. His entire team was warm and welcoming, helping us feel at ease during a stressful situation. Most importantly, our son was treated with genuine kindness and care. The procedure went smoothly, his recovery was excellent, and Dr. Saxena even followed up afterward to check on him. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care and would highly recommend Dr. Saxena to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate doctor.Posted on Google seemant meenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Bharat. The doctor explained the procedure clearly, post procedure results with honesty, answered all my questions patiently, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and I really appreciated the doctor's knowledge, care, and support.Posted on Google Jogendra Nath KunduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The entire experience, from consultation to surgery, was handled with great professionalism, compassion, and reassurance. A special thanks to anaesthetic specialist Dr. Bhatti, whose calm and caring approach made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the procedure. The suture surgery was performed smoothly and with great precision, and the care shown towards our child and family meant a lot to us. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Kashish SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
