What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This results in a more youthful breast profile without significantly changing the size.
For those desiring increased volume, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer. This procedure is often part of a full mommy makeover, too.
Am I a Candidate for a Breast Lift?
A breast lift might be right for you if:
- Your breasts sag or feel deflated
- Your nipples point downward or sit below the crease
- Your breasts seem uneven or stretched out
- You’re done having kids or have maintained a steady weight

What Happens During the Procedure?
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 2–3 hours. Dr. Parikh carefully reshapes the breast tissue, repositions the nipple-areola complex, and removes excess skin.
Incision Techniques
The type of incision depends on how much lift is needed:
- Peri-areolar: Around the nipple
- Vertical (lollipop): Around the nipple and down to the crease
- Anchor (inverted-T): Adds a horizontal incision along the breast fold
These options will be discussed during your consultation so you feel comfortable with the plan.
Reviews
If you’re looking for a surgeon who is honest, has impeccable attention to detail, and very skilled, Dr. Parikh is your surgeon. He performed a breast implant replacement and breast lift, along with liposuction on my abdomen area. I’m very excited about the results. I didn’t have one second of anxiety or concern. He listened to my to all of my questions and desired outcomes. I was at ease the moment I chose him as my surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone, and I would definitely go to him again. He’s a class act.

What to Expect After a Breast Lift
Recovery usually takes 1–2 weeks for light activities. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal during the first few days. Dr. Parikh provides detailed aftercare instructions and will monitor your healing.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks. Supportive bras are recommended to maintain your results during recovery. As swelling resolves and scars fade, you’ll see a firmer, more lifted breast shape.
