Breast surgery

Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

Correct sagging breasts and redefine the shape with a customized plan. The extent, the scar and if it is convenient to combine with implants is defined in evaluation.

What is mastopexy?

The mastopexy (breast lift) is a surgery that repositions the breast when there is sagging, seeking a more harmonious and proportional shape.

It is not “just lifting”. In assessment we define if your case is mainly position, skin/support, volume, or a combination; that changes the plan and the kind of outcome it makes sense to expect.

Mastopexy: what changes and what doesn't change

What changes

Position of the bust: a higher and more harmonious location is sought.
Shape: better definition of the contour and upper pole, according to your anatomy.
Areola and symmetry: it fits what really brings balance.
Relationship with your body: proportion, clothing and perception in the mirror.

What remains unchanged

Your base anatomy: chest and thorax have real limits.
The “perfect” skin: stretch marks and texture do not disappear on their own.
The “augmentation” volume: lifting is not the same as augmentation (it is decided whether an implant is appropriate).
The need for care: outcome depends on adherence and follow-up.

It is not a “fixed package”. In valuation we define what it does and does not provide, with realistic expectations and security first.

What does it usually include?

The plan is defined in assessment, but usually involves a combination of decisions so that the result is congruent with your anatomy and your goal.

Breast repositioning: elevation and rearrangement for a more proportionate shape.
Asymmetry adjustment: reasonable corrections to improve visual balance.
Volume definition: mastopexy alone or in combination with implants, if appropriate.
Scar design: it is planned according to the degree of sagging and the extent of the plan.
Care guide: indications and controls coordinated by the team.

The scope, level of elevation and tools of the plan are decided after medical assessment.

Who is it for?

The indication depends on the degree of sagging, the quality of your skin and the type of change you are looking for, as well as your actual ability to follow care and controls.

It could be for you if...

You feel your breasts “sagging” and are looking to regain position and shape.
You notice that the nipple/areola has lost centering or symmetry.
You are uncomfortable with how it looks in a bra or bathing suit, even if your weight is stable.
You want to correct asymmetries and improve proportion without exaggerating the result.

Alternatives should be evaluated if...

Your priority is to bulk up a lot (maybe it's not just lifting).
There are recent or planned major weight changes.
You are looking for “zero scar” (not a realistic goal in this procedure).
You cannot commit to postoperative care and follow-up.

Mastopexy assessment: how we define your plan

The assessment is the key step. Here the diagnosis, recommended scope and next steps are defined, without promises without prior analysis.

Target

What would you like to improve and what would look natural to you.

Analysis

Degree of fall, symmetries and proportions to seek balance, not isolated changes.

Leather and support

Elasticity and skin quality, because they influence the shape and evolution.

Volume

If mastopexy alone or combined with implants is suitable for the result you are looking for.

Scope

Reasonable limits, expected scarring, and care and follow-up plan.

“A clear plan, with aligned expectations, defined next steps and space to resolve doubts.”

The procedure, explained in simple terms

The idea is that the result looks consistent from all angles, without “forcing” the body. The technique is adapted to your anatomy and to the goal agreed upon in the assessment.

Planning: the objective form and realistic scope of the change is defined.
Repositioning: the bust is repositioned to improve proportion and contour.
Areola and symmetry: it is adjusted which provides visual balance.
Scar: it is designed according to your fall and plan; invisibility is not promised.
Implants (if appropriate): it is decided only if they help to achieve the agreed objective.
Closure and controls: a coordinated care and follow-up plan is left in place.

Preparation (before surgery)

Practical checklist to arrive at your surgery with everything under control.

Recovery and follow-up

The evolution is progressive; the team coordinates care and controls to accompany your process.

First days: expected discomfort and tension; indications for care and relative rest.
First week: inflammation control, wound care and progress review.
Following weeks: adaptation of the breast to its new shape; care adjustments according to evolution.
Subsequent months: scar maturation and gradual stabilization of the contour.

The medical follow-up allows to adjust care and resolve doubts as the patient's evolution progresses.

Complementary procedures

In the evaluation we define if it is convenient to add something so that the result is more congruent with your anatomy and your objective.

Mastopexy with implants: if you need support/shape and also to recover volume.
Breast reduction: if the weight of the breast is part of the problem and affects sagging.
Asymmetry adjustments: when the actual difference warrants correction within reasonable limits.
Scar revision or detailing: only if your case requires it and it is consistent with the plan.

These points are explained individually during the appraisal.

Medical Philosophy

Medical tourism in Puerto Vallarta + coordination

If you are coming from another city or country, you can start with a virtual consultation and organize your process with the support of a patient coordinator.

What it does include:

- Flow orientation: steps, agenda and logistical recommendations.
- Support to reach assessment with clarity.

What it does not include:

Flights and direct hotel reservations (we give you the freedom to choose according to your budget).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mastopexy and augmentation with implants the same thing?

No. Mastopexy corrects position and shape; augmentation looks for volume. In the evaluation we define which part of your problem is “sagging” and which is “volume” in order to choose the correct plan.

Can I do mastopexy with implants in the same plan?

Sometimes yes. It is decided according to your skin, degree of sagging and what you consider a natural result. The key is for the implant to add to the objective, not complicate the result.

Can asymmetry be corrected?

Yes, within reasonable limits. In the assessment, we define which asymmetry is structural and which is due to fall/volume in order to propose the most appropriate correction.

How do I know if I need implants?

If your goal includes volume recovery above or projection, it may be an option. It is determined by comparing your current anatomy with the result you are looking for, and adjusting expectations in consultation.

What about the scar?

The scar exists and is planned according to your case. In the assessment, it is explained where it is usually located and how it is managed to be as discreet as possible, without promising “zero mark”.

When do you see the final result?

It is progressive: the swelling goes down, the breast settles and the scar matures. In the assessment we explain which changes to see first and which take longer, depending on your evolution.
