Breast Lift in Tijuana

What is a breast lift?

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the breasts by lifting the skin and tissue. The procedure can also reduce the size of the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple) and relocate the nipple structure so they are front and center if they are pointing downwards. A breast lift is generally done for cosmetic reasons, but it can also be done to correct breasts that have drooped or sagged due to:

Aging
Significant weight loss
Pregnancy
Breastfeeding

How is a breast lift performed?

The surgery involves making an incision around the areola, the front of the breast, or along the underside of the breast. The skin of the breast is then lifted, and underlying tissue is reshaped to give the breasts a more youthful appearance. A breast lift can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures, such as breast augmentation.

What is the recovery like for a breast lift?

The recovery from a breast lift will vary from person to person, but it is a relatively short and straightforward process. Most people will be able to return to normal light activities within a week or two.

Some amount of swelling and bruising is normal and will gradually improve over time. It is important to give your body time to heal properly. This means no strenuous activity or exercise for at least four to six weeks. Taking it easy after surgery is a must and will speed your recovery.

How much time off will I need?

If you are required to do any heavy lifting at your job or it is highly physical, you may need to take up to 3 weeks off from work, however, if your job is mostly sedentary, you may be able to return within a week or so.

What are the different types of breast lifts?

The main types of breast lift procedures are crescent, vertical, and inverted-T or anchor.

Crescent: A crescent lift is the least invasive type of breast lift. It involves making a small incision at the base of the half-moon shape near the top of the areola. This technique is typically used for patients who have minimal sagging.
Vertical: A vertical breast lift, also known as a lollipop lift, involves making an incision around the areola and extending down. This technique is best suited for patients who have moderate amounts of sagging.
Inverted-T “anchor”: An inverted-T lift, also called an anchor lift, is the most extensive type of breast lift. It involves making an incision around the areola, down the breast crease, and along the natural curve underneath the breast. This technique is best for patients who have significant amounts of sagging.

Can I get a breast lift without implants?

Breast implants and a breast lift are two separate procedures. These procedures can be combined at the patient’s request; however, it is not necessary. A breast lift will give you firmer, higher breasts with or without breast implants.
