Rejuvenate Your Silhouette with a Breast Lift

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations and aging can cause breast sagging, affecting confidence and comfort. A breast lift (mastopexy) surgically remodels and repositions breast tissue to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. Dr. Jennifer Gaona, a certified plastic surgeon in Bogotá, combines advanced surgical precision with an artistic approach to achieve natural results adapted to your anatomy.

What is a breast lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct breast sagging by removing excess skin, tightening the supporting tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a taller, more youthful position. Unlike breast augmentation, which focuses on increasing volume, a lift remodels existing tissue to improve contour and symmetry.This procedure restores a firmer breast shape and can correct asymmetry or enlarged nipples. Depending on individual needs, Dr. Gaona can combine lifting with fat grafting to regain lost volume or with a reduction to achieve a greater proportion. Each technique is customized according to your aesthetic objectives and anatomical structure, ensuring natural and balanced results.

Why consider a breast lift?

A breast lift is ideal for those who experience physical or emotional discomfort due to breast sagging. Some of the most common motivations include:

  1. Postpregnancy changes: Breasts that have lost volume or have sagged after breastfeeding
  2. Effects of weight loss: Excess skin and loss of firmness after significant weight reduction.
  3. Age-related flaccidity: Natural loss of skin elasticity over time
  4. Asymmetry: Difference in the shape of the breasts or in the position of the nipples.

During a personalized consultation, Dr. Gaona evaluates the anatomy of your breasts, the quality of your skin and your goals to recommend the most appropriate surgical plan.

Breast Lift Techniques

Dr. Gaona offers four main techniques, each adapted to the degree of flaccidity and the patient's preferences:

Half Moon Uprising

A minimal incision approach ideal for cases of mild sagging. The incision follows the shape of the areola, allowing for a subtle lift with minimal scarring.

Donut lift (periareolar lift)

A circular incision around the areola, ideal for moderate sagging This technique removes excess skin and recenters the nipple.

Lollipop lifting (vertical lift)

It combines an incision around the areola with a vertical line up to the breast crease. This method corrects moderate to severe sagging and allows for significant remodeling.

Anchor lift (inverted T-lift)

The most complete option, involving incisions around the areola, one vertical line down and another along the natural crease of the breast. It is ideal for cases of significant sagging or excess skin.

The Breast Lift Process — Step by Step

1

Pre-operative consultation and planning

Your process begins with a detailed consultation in which Dr. Gaona evaluates your medical history, the anatomy of your breasts and the elasticity of your skin. It uses VECTRA 3D imaging technology to create a visual simulation of possible outcomes, allowing you to explore different techniques. During the consultation, you'll discuss incision patterns, scarring, and whether combining them with other procedures (such as fat grafting) could improve results.

2

Day of surgery

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. The incisions are made according to the chosen technique, followed by the removal of excess skin, the tightening of the tissue and the replacement of the nipple-areola complex. Resorbable sutures are used to minimize post-operative care and surgical bandages are applied to promote healing.

3

Recovery and post-operative care

First week: Rest is essential. A surgical bra should be worn to minimize swelling, and if drains are used, they are removed within the first 48 hours.Weeks 2—4: Light activities can be resumed, but strenuous exercise should be avoided. Swelling and bruising begin to decrease gradually.Months 2—6: The scars begin to fade and the final results become more apparent as the tissues settle. Dr. Gaona schedules follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months to monitor progress and provide guidance on scar care.

FAQs

How long do the results of a breast lift last?

The results are long-lasting, but natural aging, weight fluctuations, or future pregnancies can alter the shape of the breasts. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can prolong results.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Most patients retain the ability to breastfeed, as the procedure preserves the breast ducts. However, there is a small risk of changes in nipple sensitivity or milk production, which Dr. Gaona explains during visits.

Will a breast lift leave visible scars?

Scars vary depending on the technique used, but are strategically placed to blend in with natural contours. Over time, they fade to 6 to 12 months. Dr. Gaona recommends silicone gel or tape to optimize healing.

Is a breast lift painful?

The discomfort is usually mild to moderate and is controlled with prescription medication. Most patients describe a feeling of tenderness rather than acute pain, which decreases over a period of 7 to 10 days.

Can I combine a breast lift with implants?

Yes. Many patients choose an “implant lift” to restore volume while correcting sagging. Dr. Gaona evaluates skin elasticity and aesthetic goals to determine if this combination is safe and effective.
