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.

When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.

Dr. Bharat Saxena is exceptionally passionate about his work, approaching it with the dedication of someone who truly worships his profession. Meeting him changed my perspective on how compassionate and humble a doctor can be, especially in a country like India, where human life often isn’t valued as it should be. In these times, Dr. Saxena stands out, treating his patients with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Saxena for the way he treated my father during his mouth cancer surgery. He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine.
