Breast Pexy (Lift)
We restore the firm and youthful position of your breasts. This procedure is designed to lift sagging tissue and remove excess skin, returning harmony to your cleavage with or without the use of implants.

Restoring Natural Position
The passage of time, breastfeeding, or weight changes can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and sag. Breast Pexy (Mastopexy) isn’t necessarily about changing your size, but rather about reorganizing your own tissue. Our goal is to reposition the areola to its ideal location and remove excess skin so your breasts regain their projection and look aesthetically youthful and supported.
What is the procedure like?
We evaluate the degree of sagging (ptosis) and the quality of your skin. We perform precise markings while you are standing to determine the new location of the areola and nipple.
We carefully remove sagging skin. If you have sufficient volume, we use your own tissue to ‘auto-fill’ the upper pole; if more volume is needed, we can combine it with a small implant or fat from your own body.
We lift the areola-nipple complex to a more central and aesthetic position, correcting any asymmetries.
We perform the closure using meticulous techniques to minimize skin tension and ensure that the scars (usually around the areola and in an inverted ‘T’) are as aesthetic as possible.
Recommendations for your well-being
Before surgery:
It is essential to have a recent mammogram or breast ultrasound (less than 6 months old) to ensure tissue health.
Moisturize the cleavage area daily in the weeks leading up to surgery to improve skin elasticity.
Stop smoking completely 4 weeks before, as nicotine severely affects the circulation necessary for healing.
After surgery:
Wear the post-surgical bra day and night during the first month to support the tissues at their new height.
«Once the stitches are removed, we will guide you on using silicone sheets or special creams to promote the aesthetic maturation of the scar.
Do not lift your arms above your shoulders or carry heavy loads for 6 weeks to avoid tension on the sutures.
Sleep strictly on your back during the first few weeks.
