What is a breast lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct breast ptosis (sagging), which commonly occurs due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
The goal is to reposition the breasts higher on the chest wall, restore a rounder, firmer shape, and, when needed, reduce the size of the areolas and align the nipples with the new breast contour. Unlike breast augmentation, mastopexy does not increase volume, it focuses on restoring natural proportion, projection, and symmetry.
Dr. César López customizes each breast lift based on skin quality, tissue volume, and the degree of sagging. Techniques range from minimal-scar approaches (such as periareolar lifts) to more comprehensive methods like the vertical or anchor pattern, always aiming for a natural, long-lasting shape.
The surgery lasts approximately 2 hours, is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and does not require hospitalization. Initial recovery takes 10 to 14 days, with final results typically visible around 3 months post-surgery.
Requirements:
Complete blood count (CBC), coagulation tests, and blood chemistry panel.
Cardiology evaluation if you are over 50 years old.
Postoperative Care:
Wear a special bra for 4 weeks.
Avoid high-impact exercise and sleep on your back during the first month.
Avoid sun exposure while the scars are still healing.

Benefits of a breast lift
Undergoing plastic surgery with Dr. César López means more than simply refining a feature: it's about restoring balance, regaining confidence, and achieving results that feel as good as they look. Each procedure is designed not only to improve specific areas of the face or body, but also to improve overall harmony, comfort and well-being.
Restored firmness and shape
Mastopexy corrects the loss of volume and position, giving the breasts a fuller, rounder, and lifted appearance, even without implants.
Repositioned and resized areolas
The procedure typically includes repositioning the nipple and areola, as well as reducing areolas that have stretched or shifted downward, with the goal of improving breast symmetry and aesthetics.
Improved projection and volume of the upper pole
By removing excess skin and reshaping the breast tissue, the breasts regain a more natural and forward-projected firmness.
More youthful and proportional appearance
A breast lift restores harmony with the torso, often improving the fit of bras and clothing, as well as how the patient sees herself in the mirror.
The process and recovery
Breast lift follows a safe and well-structured process, closely supervised by Dr. César López Romero and his team to ensure comfort, proper healing, and natural-looking results.
01
Personalized planning
Breast lift begins with an individual consultation in which Dr. César López Romero and his team assess the shape, size, and position of your breasts to design a surgical plan tailored to your body and your goals.
02
Surgical procedure
The breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours. The technique used is determined by the degree of sagging (ptosis) and the amount of excess skin, with the goal of achieving a natural, firm, and balanced shape.
03
Early recovery
Most patients return to light activities within 5 to 7 days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 4 weeks.
04
Follow-up care
This helps ensure that the incisions heal properly and that the final breast shape maintains natural softness, projection, and symmetry.
05
Final results
The final results become visible in 8 to 12 weeks, and the scars disappear significantly over 6 to 12 months.

Do you have any questions?
We're here to help. Send us your questions and our team will answer clearly and carefully. Your comfort, safety and peace of mind are important to us.
Does a breast lift increase breast size?
No. A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts but does not add volume. If you desire greater size or projection, the lift can be combined with implants in the same surgery.
Will I have visible scars?
Healing depends on the technique used. Dr. César López Romero always selects the least invasive approach possible to achieve an effective lift. With proper care, scars typically fade significantly over time.
How long will the results last?
With a stable weight and good support, breast lift results can last for many years. Natural aging will continue, but the breasts remain firmer and more elevated than before.
Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?
In many cases, yes. Dr. López preserves glandular tissue and ducts when possible. However, depending on the technique, some changes in the ability to breastfeed may occur.
What type of scars does this procedure leave?
The extent of the scars depends on the degree of breast sagging and the technique used. It can range from a minimal incision around the areola to vertical or “inverted T” scars. Dr. López uses advanced suturing techniques that promote aesthetic and discreet healing, with scars that fade over time.
Do you lose breast tenderness after a mastopexy?
In most cases, tenderness in nipples and areoles is preserved. However, a temporary alteration may be experienced during the first few months of recovery. Over time, sensitivity usually returns to normal, although in rare cases, changes may persist.
Am I a candidate for a breast lift if I have small breasts?
Yes. Mastopexy is not limited by the size of the bust, but by the sagging and quality of the skin. Both women with large and small breasts can benefit from this procedure. In patients with low volume, it may be recommended to combine lifting with implants to achieve a more harmonious result.
