How Much Does It Cost to Lift Saggy Breasts?

The journey towards feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin is deeply personal. For many women, experiencing changes in the breast shape and position due to different factors (ageing, pregnancy, hormones, etc.) can lead to feelings of self-consciousness.

Sagging breasts, medically termed as breast ptosis, is thus a common concern among most women who are considering treatments like breast lifts or mastopexy.

While the desire for rejuvenation is strong, the question of cost often looms large, especially if you are exploring medical tourism. In India, Aestiva stands out as a leading clinic where you can experience a blend of highly skilled surgeons, state-of-the-art facilities, and significantly more affordable pricing for your breast lift surgery.

Interested in exploring more about the breast lift treatment and the costs associated with it? This detailed guide from Aestiva Clinic will explore it all.

Why Do Breasts Sag?

Before we get into what mastopexy is and why it has gained so much traction over time, let us first understand what breast ptosis is and why the sagging happens in the first place.

The perkiness and firm appearance and shape of the breasts are due to the firmness of the skin and connective tissues within the breast. So, as the breast loses its elasticity and strength, the drooping or sagginess happens.

Some of the key contributors are:

• Ageing happens to be the most critical factor since collagen and elastin production depletes with age, making the skin and tissues less elastic and more prone to sagging.
• The gravity’s constant pull in the downward direction is another reason why the breast tissues and skin become less firm over the years.
• Hormonal changes and the stretching of skin and ligaments during pregnancy and lactation can significantly alter breast shape and position.
• If you have experienced sudden weight gain or weight loss, even that can contribute to the breasts sagging.
• Your inherited traits play a role in skin elasticity and breast density, influencing your predisposition to sagging.

It's important to remember that breast ptosis is a natural process and is incredibly common. However, if it affects your self-esteem or comfort, a surgical solution exists – aka breast lift surgery.

What is Breast Lift Surgery, and When Should You Consider It?

As previously mentioned, experiencing breast sagging is often normal and part of life, especially with age. However, if the condition is affecting your self-esteem, social and intimate relationships, breast lift is a safe and effective solution.

In a breast lift surgery or mastopexy, the surgeon raises and reshapes the appearance of the sagging breasts by getting rid of the excess skin and then tightening the tissues around the breast. If needed, the procedure can be couples with breast augmentation or reduction too.

You should consider a breast lift if you want to:

• Restore youthful breast shape and firmness
• Improve nipple position and symmetry
• Correct droopiness caused by aging or breastfeeding
• Enhance confidence and body image

Beyond deciding by yourself, it is essential that you consult experienced surgeons at Aestiva Clinic to determine whether or not you are an ideal candidate for the surgery.

Why is Getting Breast Lift Surgery in India Gaining Traction?

If you are consulting a breast lift specialist in Australia, not only is the wait and accessibility long, but the cost of the surgery is fairly high and often not covered by insurance since a breast lift is an elective procedure.

This explains why, every year, patients from the USA, UK, Middle East, Australia, and Africa come to India to get a breast lift (and other cosmetic surgeries).

Some of the factors that contribute to the reason are:

• Affordable price
• Experienced and qualified cosmetic surgeons
• State-of-the-art clinics like Aestiva
• English-speaking surgeons and medical staff
• Minimal waiting times
• Comprehensive and personalised care

A breast lift surgery in India typically costs 60% to 80% less than in countries like the USA, UK, or Australia – with comparable or better outcomes.

What is the Cost of Breast Lift Surgery in India?

If you go through the 2025 estimates of a breast lift surgery in Western countries, the numbers on average are as follows:

USA: $8,000 to $12,000

UK: £5,000 – £9,000

Australia: AUD 10,000 – AUD 15,000

What Factors Influence the Cost of Breast Lift Surgery in India?

The total cost that you have to bear for undergoing a breast lift surgery is dependent on multiple factors.

Factors Influencing the Cost	Description
Extent of Sagging (Ptosis Grade)	The more severe the sagging (Grade I to III), the more complex the procedure, increasing time, effort, and cost.
Type of Surgical Technique	Techniques like crescent, donut, lollipop, or anchor lifts vary in complexity and incision types, affecting the overall pricing.
Use of Implants (Optional)	If you combine a lift with implants (augmentation), it adds approximately ₹40,000 to ₹80,000 to the total cost.
Surgeon’s Expertise	Highly experienced cosmetic surgeons like those at Aestiva may charge more but offer safer, more aesthetic outcomes.

What are the Recovery and Aftercare Tips for Breast Lift Surgery?

After you get the breast lift surgery, the main factor that influences the final results of the surgery is the recovery and aftercare.

Depending on the extent and severity of the procedure, you might be discharged on the same day or the next day of the surgery. Following that, you’d need 5-7 days of rest, allowing your body to heal and recover from the procedure. A full recovery from the surgery can take between 4-6 weeks.

During this period, you will need to:

• Avoid lifting heavy weights
• Lie down on your back
• Wear compression garments
• Follow up remotely with your surgeon

Before you are discharged from Aestiva Clinic after your surgery, every step of your recovery and aftercare will be communicated to you by our surgeons and medical staff so you are well-prepared for the journey ahead.
