In which cases is Matopexy recommended?
Recover Chest Attractiveness
Breast lift surgery is indicated in breasts of size according to the biotype, but that have fallen, which is caused more by excess skin than by excess glandular tissue, and also in empty breasts after pregnancy or significant weight loss. These are breasts with excess skin and little breast tissue.
Our mastopexy specialists in Marbella offer very satisfactory results, improving both aesthetics and self-esteem of the patient.
How is Mastopexy performed in Marbella?
For this surgical operation of breast lift or mastopexy in Marbella there are several techniques. Usually the resulting scar is made around the areola and vertical, if the needs of skin removal are greater, it may be necessary to expand it with a scar in the breast furrow, through surgical intervention.
Breast lift surgery uses intradermal sutures that go inside the skin and leave very few visible marks. Hence the healing of the breasts is quite good and in a few months the scars on the breasts after the operation, which are usually reddish, begin to lighten and fade.
In the first months after breast surgery, you should not sunbathe without a full-screen sunscreen, because of the risk of hyperpigmentation of the breast scar.
The anesthesia for breast lift surgery is usually sedation, although sometimes it is performed under general anesthesia. This allows a quick recovery and to be able to perform it on an outpatient basis without the need for hospitalization.
Frequently asked questions about breast uplift surgery in Marbella
How do I know if my breasts are sagging and I need a mastopexy?
The reference used by the surgeon is the position of the nipple in relation to the inframammary fold, the natural crease beneath the breast. From this, several degrees of breast ptosis can be identified:
- Mild ptosis: the nipple is positioned level with the inframammary fold.
- Moderate ptosis: the nipple sits below the fold but remains the lowest point of the breast.
- Severe ptosis: the nipple is clearly below the fold and points downwards.
- Pseudoptosis: the nipple remains in a good position, but the breast tissue has descended and the upper part of the breast appears empty. This is common after breastfeeding.
A simple guide you can try at home is the pencil test: if a pencil placed beneath the breast stays in position by itself, there is some degree of sagging. This does not replace a professional assessment, but it can provide a rough indication.
The degree of ptosis determines the surgical technique and the scar pattern required. It is assessed through precise measurements during the consultation, which is free of charge at Estética Ochoa.
Do I need a mastopexy alone or a mastopexy with implants?
This depends on whether the main concern is breast position alone or also a loss of volume:
- Mastopexy without implants: the breasts retain a suitable volume for your body shape but have descended. The excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned.
- Augmentation mastopexy: in addition to sagging, the breasts have lost volume and appear empty in the upper pole. This is very common after pregnancy and breastfeeding or following significant weight loss. In these cases, the breast uplift is combined with implant placement during the same procedure.
It is important to understand that implants alone do not correct sagging. They add volume, but they do not lift the nipple or remove excess skin. If true ptosis is present and only an implant is inserted, the result is usually a fuller breast that remains sagging.
For this reason, the surgeon first assesses the degree of ptosis and then determines whether additional volume is required. You can also visit our breast augmentation page for further information.
Can breasts be lifted without surgery?
To be completely honest, there is currently no non-surgical treatment capable of repositioning the nipple or removing excess skin, which are the main causes of established breast sagging. No device, thread treatment or cream can restore the breasts to their original position once true ptosis has developed.
Medical aesthetic treatments may, however, improve the quality, thickness and firmness of the skin in cases of very mild laxity or help maintain the result after surgery. At Estética Ochoa, we offer treatments including thread lifts and radiofrequency.
The best option is to attend a free consultation. The surgeon will explain clearly whether your case may benefit from a non-surgical treatment or whether breast uplift surgery is the only realistic solution. We would rather give you an honest assessment than recommend a treatment that will not provide the result you are looking for.
How long do mastopexy results last? Will the breasts sag again?
The results of breast uplift surgery are long-lasting, but not permanent. Surgery corrects existing sagging, but it cannot stop the ageing process or the effects of gravity. Over time, the breasts will continue to age, although from a significantly improved position.
The factors most likely to shorten the duration of the result include:
- Future pregnancies and breastfeeding, which can stretch the skin and breast tissue again.
- Significant weight fluctuations, whether weight gain or weight loss.
- Poor skin elasticity or a family history of skin laxity.
- Smoking, which damages collagen and can also impair healing.
- Not wearing a supportive sports bra during high-impact exercise.
Undergoing surgery at a stable weight and once you have completed your family are the factors that contribute most to maintaining the result over time.
Can I have a mastopexy if I want more children?
Technically, yes. A future pregnancy is not dangerous or contraindicated after surgery. The main consideration is not safety, but the effect on the result. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts increase in volume and later reduce again, which can stretch the skin and reverse part of the uplift achieved.
In terms of breastfeeding, modern surgical techniques keep the nipple-areola complex attached to a tissue pedicle. This means that many women are able to breastfeed after a mastopexy, although this cannot be guaranteed in advance.
For this reason, if you are planning a pregnancy in the near future, it is usually advisable to wait. If pregnancy is not planned for the immediate future, the decision is yours and the surgeon will explain what it may mean in your particular case during the consultation.
What is recovery after breast uplift surgery like?
In many cases, patients can be discharged on the same day or after one night in hospital, depending on the surgical technique used and each patient’s recovery. Initial discomfort is usually moderate and can be managed effectively with the prescribed pain relief.
During the first few weeks, a non-wired post-surgical bra must be worn day and night. Patients should sleep on their back with the upper body slightly elevated and avoid strenuous activity or lifting their arms above their head.
Office-based work can usually be resumed after around two weeks, while physical exercise may generally be restarted after one month, always with the surgeon’s approval.
Scars should be protected from the sun using a high-protection sunscreen during the first few months to prevent pigmentation. This is particularly important for patients living on the Costa del Sol. The breasts take several months to settle and reach their final shape.
