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, coagulation times, blood chemistry. Cardiac evaluation is required for patients over 50.
- Postoperative care: A special support bra must be worn for 4 weeks. High-impact exercise should be avoided, and sleeping on your back is recommended during the first month. Sun exposure should be avoided while scars are 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 cheerful 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 remodeling the mammary mound, the breast wins more natural forward projection, which can be further improved with implants if desired.
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
Recovery follows a safe process, personally guided by Dr. López.
01
Personalized planning
Start your mastopexy journey with an individual consultation in which Dr. López analyzes the shape, size and position of your breasts.

Surgical procedure
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and lasts 2 to 3 hours. It depends on the degree of ptosis and on the excess of skin.
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
Dr. López will closely monitor his recovery, ensuring that the incisions heal cleanly and that the final shape maintains softness, projection and symmetry.
05

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 repositions the breast, but it doesn't significantly increase volume. If you want greater fullness, the implants can be placed at the same time.
Will I have visible scars?
Healing depends on the technique used. Dr. López selects the least invasive pattern possible while ensuring adequate elevation. Scars fade significantly over time if properly cared for.
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.
