Breast lift and augmentation
It is currently one of the most requested surgeries by women.
Since ancient times, the breast is a sign of femininity and indisputable sexual trait in women, which has caused admiration not only on the part of the female sex, but also by the male.
The beauty and harmony of the breast contributes to the well-being of the person, as it is related to feelings of self-confidence and security in interpersonal relationships, sexual life, psychological aspects and motherhood. For this reason, their external appearance, shape, size, height, characteristics of the areola and the nipple are concerned, as well as their ability to breastfeed without forgetting the periodic medical control to ensure their health.
Am I a candidate for a breast augmentation mastopexy?
Mastopexy with a prosthetic implant is the surgery that aims not only to raise sagging breasts but also to improve their shape and increase their volume.
Therefore, if you have empty breasts and saggy as a result of pregnancy, lactation, considerable weight loss or over the years, you are a good candidate.

Preoperative
In order for you to undergo a mastopexy with breast augmentation with complete safety, we must assess your general condition based on your possible drug and environmental allergies, personal and family pathological history, habitual and past medication, possible previous surgical interventions, toxic habits (tobacco), etc.
It is also necessary to have a general analysis, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram and sometimes a mammogram. With this study you will be visited by an anesthesiologist who will verify the results, as well as solve your doubts.
From the Guadalupe González Clinic we will also take preoperative photographs, which will help us before, during and after the mastopexy with prosthesis implant .
Surgical technique
Mastopexy with a prosthesis implant should be performed in the operating room and under general anesthesia. The surgery usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. It is the sum of performing a mastopexy and a breast augmentation in the same procedure. There are different techniques, depending on the degree of sagging of the breast and the quality of the skin, we will use one or another technique. The incisions delimit the part of the skin of the breast that will be removed as well as determine the position where the nipple and areola will be placed. When the degree of drooping of the gland (mammary ptosis) is small, these incisions will be located only around the areola. If the degree of sagging of the breast is greater, it will be necessary to make another vertical incision from the areola to the submammary groove. In cases where the degree of sagging of the breast is significant and there is poor skin quality, another incision will be required along the submammary groove (inverted T). If it is necessary to place a breast prosthesis, it can be implanted in the same surgical act, below or above the pectoral muscle.
At the end of the breast lift, a drain and bandage are placed.
POSTOPERATIVE
The first 24 hours, hospital admission to the clinic with the relevant bandage is recommended, receiving treatment with intravenous analgesic.
From the second day, you can be discharged from the hospital with oral medication and following the surgeon’s instructions.
It is normal for inflammation, pain sensation, occasional stinging and tingling or burning in the nipples to appear, which you can calm with medication and postoperative treatment as well as cryotherapy.
Between the fourth or sixth day, we do the control in the consultation where we will remove the bandage and begin neural therapy for your greater comfort. We recommend the use of a special seamless sports bra, which you must wear continuously day and night for four weeks.
You will be able to incorporate relatively quickly into daily and work life, always following the specialist’s instructions, limiting strong physical activities for a few weeks, until you recover from the intervention.
The sutures are removed between 7 – 10 days after the operation and the aesthetic treatment of the scars begins so that in the future they are as imperceptible as possible. Scars appear pink at first. From the 2nd or 3rd month they improve aesthetically. The final appearance of these scars is variable, depending on the characteristics of each person’s skin.
The breasts may be swollen and high at first. As the inflammation decreases and the tissues give way, they will be placed in their natural position.
FAQ’s
About mastopexy with breast augmentation
1.
What complications can appear if I have a mastopexy with a prosthesis implant?
Mastopexy with breast augmentation is a safe technique, as long as it is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. However, as in any operation, there can always be complications and associated risks.
A possible complication of mastopexy, common to any surgery, would be the hematoma that only in specific cases requires a new intervention to remove the accumulated blood. For this reason, our patients are discharged with drains, to monitor the surgical bed and to be able to treat immediately if this complication appears.
It could also appear alterations of the sensitivity in the nipples, and even, without sensitivity. These changes are usually temporary, although in a few cases they can become permanent. Infection would also be another extremely unusual complication.
2.
Can I lose feeling?
The sensitivity of the chest and more specifically of the area of the areola and the nipple, depends on sensitive nerves called intercostals, which, as their name suggests, cross the intercostal muscles, reaching the surface of the skin sensibly innervating the areola. Despite being rare, during the intervention, these nerves can be damaged. Usually over time it usually recovers.
