Breast Lift: The surgery to rejuvenate your bust
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift treatment, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that seeks to restore firmness and youthful contour to the breasts.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin, lifts the breast tissue, and repositions the areola and nipple to a more aesthetic and natural position. Often, this procedure is performed in conjunction with a breast augmentation or reduction, depending on the patient’s needs and expectations.
Choosing a qualified plastic surgeon with experience in mastopexy is crucial to ensure the best possible results. Be sure to check out Turó Park Aesthetic for our specialists’ experience and review the before and after photo gallery.

Risks associated with breast lift surgery
As with any surgical procedure, breast lift surgery involves certain risks and uncertainties. It is crucial to discuss your concerns and expectations with a certified plastic surgeon to better understand the risks involved. Some of these include thick and visible scars, nerve problems in the nipples that can result in increased or decreased sensitivity, or even numbness, which can be temporary or permanent. Additionally, common risks of any surgery include bleeding, clots, infections, and allergic reactions, making it essential to choose an experienced and highly qualified surgeon.
Scars after the treatment
The surgery is likely to leave scars around the nipples, and depending on the type of procedure, you could have vertical and horizontal scars on the breast, which form a kind of anchor. Before the operation, it is crucial to consult with your surgeon about these scars. Generally, they are red during the first six weeks, but over time they tend to fade and can be hidden with regular clothing, bras, and bikinis. Additionally, some products and treatments help minimize their appearance.

- Finally, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches, sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape.
Postoperatively, the patient will have breast dressings. After the operation, the patient must wear a surgical support bra for the following two to three weeks.
