    Understanding the Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

    A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness and position because of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes or aging. Excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and the nipple and areola are repositioned higher on the breast for a more youthful, balanced contour. Dr. Rafael Velasco Marín adapts the technique to your anatomy for natural-looking results.

    What a Breast Lift Can Achieve

    A breast lift is designed to correct sagging (ptosis), restore a higher and firmer breast position and improve the overall shape of the breasts. It does not significantly change breast size, but it can be combined with implants or a reduction when you also want more or less volume.

    Common Questions

    Breast Lift FAQ

    Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about breast lift (mastopexy) surgery with Dr. Rafael Velasco Marín.

    A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Breast augmentation increases the size of the breasts, often with implants. The two procedures can be combined to both lift and enlarge the breasts.
    The results of a breast lift are long-lasting. However, the effects of aging, gravity, and significant weight fluctuations can alter the appearance of your breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results for many years.
    In most cases, a breast lift should not affect your ability to breastfeed. Dr. Velasco Marín uses techniques designed to preserve the milk ducts and nipples. However, every case is unique, and this is an important topic to discuss during your consultation.
    Most patients can return to non-strenuous work and light activities within 7-14 days. You should avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for about 4-6 weeks. Dr. Velasco Marín will provide detailed, personalized recovery instructions.
    Scarring is an inevitable part of any surgery. Dr. Velasco Marín is an expert at placing incisions in areas where they are least conspicuous, such as around the areola or in the breast crease. Scars will fade significantly over time.
