Madrid | Zurich
Mastopexy, or breast lift, is a very popular surgery technique among women, who desire optimal breast shape and size. Skin excess and breast ptosis produced by genetic factors, ageing and/or significant weight loss, can be corrected using different surgical techniques.
This operation’s aim is to raise the breast and the nipple area to its correct position, while keeping a natural anatomy and proportions. It is also possible to transform and symmetrize both breast and areola size and shape.

Breast Lift surgical techniques and scar types
There is a wide range of surgical procedures to obtain a breast lift, all of them, leaving minimal scars.
- Mild Ptosis: an incision is made around the areola area, leaving almost invisible scars, between hyperpigmented (brown) and periareolar skin
- Moderate Ptosis: a vertical scar technique is used with or without a very slight extension along the inframammary fold. The scars will have the shape of a lollipop
- Advanced Ptosis: vertical incision ending in a horizontal line along the inframammary fold, leaving an inverted T-shape scar. This incision can also be used for an auto-augmentation, mimicking the effect of having an implant by positioning the lower part of a glandular tissue in the upper area of the breast.

Postoperative care after a mastopexy intervention
At our clinics, we are fully committed to guiding and walking alongside our patients during the postoperative process.
In all cases we temporary anaesthetize the local sensitive nerves, highly reducing any postoperative discomfort. Stitches are almost always dissolvable, making their removal unnecessary.
We provide our patients with a special bra after surgery, which they will need to wear for 4-6 weeks. During which time it is highly recommendable not to lift anything heavier than 5kg and to avoid any fitness practice that involves weightlifting.

Additional alternatives to Breast Lift Surgery
Depending on the breast anatomy, we can combine this surgery with Breast Reduction or, to the opposite effect, to place breast implants to improve projection. Fat Transfer is another complementary intervention.
