Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Elevated, Youthful Results with Dr. Puyana

Lifted. Sculpted. Confident.

Breast shape and position change naturally over time – but the desire for a lifted, more sculpted, and intentionally enhanced silhouette never goes out of style. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is one of the most powerful procedures for redefining the breasts, restoring projection, and creating a higher, more striking contour.

Worldwide, breast lift procedures continue to rise as women seek results that are not only youthful, but clearly intentional. Many patients today are not looking to simply “restore” their breasts – they want a bold, elevated, and visually impactful result that reflects their personal aesthetic.

At Puyana

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana understands that beauty is subjective. Some patients want subtle elevation, while others want a more dramatic, sculpted look. A breast lift is designed around your vision – whether refined, enhanced, or unapologetically glamorous. Dr. Puyana plans each mastopexy with precision and artistic control to deliver results that are lifted, proportional, and confidently expressive.

What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful height.

Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not primarily focus on increasing volume. Instead, it reshapes, elevates, and repositions the breasts – creating a higher, firmer, and more sculpted appearance that can range from elegant to boldly enhanced, depending on your goals.

Dr. Puyana customizes every breast lift based on your anatomy, skin quality, degree of ptosis (sagging), and aesthetic goals to ensure refined, long-lasting results.

Why Choose Breast Lift?

A breast lift is chosen by women who want their breasts to sit higher, look more sculpted, and make a stronger visual statement.

Many patients pursue mastopexy because they:

Want a lifted, perkier breast position

Desire a more dramatic or youthful contour

Feel their breasts lack projection or definition

Want nipples repositioned higher for a more striking look

Want their breasts to better match their body, curves, or lifestyle

A breast lift gives Dr. Puyana the ability to reshape the breast mound itself - not just remove skin - allowing for precise control over height, contour, and overall presence. The result is a breast shape that looks intentional, confident, and aligned with how you want to present yourself.

Types of Breast Lift Techniques

Dr. Salomon Puyana selects the breast lift technique that best suits your anatomy and desired outcome. The choice depends on the degree of sagging, skin elasticity, and breast volume.

Periareolar (Donut) Lift

This technique involves an incision around the areola and is best for mild sagging. It provides subtle lifting with minimal scarring.

Vertical (Lollipop) Lift

The vertical lift uses an incision around the areola and down the lower breast. It allows for more significant reshaping and is commonly used for moderate sagging.

L-Shaped Lift

The L-shaped lift adds a short horizontal incision along the breast crease, offering enhanced reshaping while limiting scar length compared to the anchor technique.

Anchor (Wise Pattern) Lift

This technique is ideal for significant sagging. It provides maximum lifting and reshaping and is often used when dramatic correction is needed.

Dr. Puyana carefully plans incision placement to ensure scars fade discreetly over time and results remain elegant and proportional.

Breast Lift withAuto-Augmentation

For patients who want enhanced shape and upper fullness without implants, Dr. Puyana may recommend a breast lift with auto-augmentation.

Auto-augmentation uses your own breast tissue to create increased projection and fullness in the upper breast while lifting and reshaping the overall contour. This technique allows for a fuller, more sculpted appearance without placing implants.

Many patients choose this option when they want a visibly enhanced result that still relies entirely on their own tissue. Dr. Salomon Puyana carefully designs the internal reshaping to create a bold, lifted silhouette that holds its shape beautifully over time.

Breast Liftwith Implants

For patients who want both elevation and added volume, a breast lift with implants combines mastopexy with augmentation to create a higher, fuller, and more visually impactful breast shape. This approach is ideal for women who want lifted breasts with enhanced projection, roundness, or a more dramatic silhouette.

By lifting the breast tissue and repositioning the nipples while adding implants, Dr. Salomon Puyana is able to sculpt a result that is elevated, bold, and intentionally designed to match each patient’s aesthetic goals – whether refined or unapologetically enhanced.

Breast Lift with Implants

Internal Bra with GalaFLEX®

The Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® is an advanced surgical support technique designed to reinforce the breast’s internal structure and provide added long-term support. GalaFLEX® is a bioresorbable surgical scaffold that is placed internally during breast surgery to strengthen soft tissue and help maintain breast position over time.

By reinforcing the breast from the inside, the Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® helps improve stability, shape retention, and durability of results.

Dr. Salomon Puyana uses the Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® in select patients who would benefit from additional internal support. The scaffold acts as a temporary framework, supporting the breast as the body gradually replaces it with the patient’s own collagen.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Breast Lift

1. How long does a breast lift surgery take?

Typically 2–3 hours, depending on complexity.

2. Will a breast lift change my breast size?

It improves shape and position, not volume - unless combined with augmentation or auto-augmentation.

3. Are the scars noticeable?

Surgical scars are strategically placed to align with the natural contours of the breast and typically soften and fade over time. At Puyana Plastic Surgery, we also offer advanced scar-improvement treatments, including microneedling and laser therapy, to help optimize scar appearance as healing progresses.

4. How long do breast lift results last?

Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight and supportive care.

5. Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Breastfeeding after a breast lift is possible for many women, but the ability to produce a full milk supply varies. Outcomes depend on the surgical technique used, the extent of tissue repositioning, and individual anatomy. Some women may experience reduced milk production, while others are able to breastfeed without difficulty. During consultation, Dr. Puyana will discuss how different surgical approaches may impact future breastfeeding.

6. Is a breast lift painful?

Discomfort is typically mild to moderate and well-managed.

7. Can a breast lift be combined with implants?

Yes, augmentation can be combined if added volume is desired.

8. Am I a good candidate for mastopexy

Healthy individuals with sagging breasts and realistic expectations are ideal candidates.

9. When will I see final results?

Initial results appear quickly, with refinement over several months.

10. Will pregnancy affect my results?
