Breast Surgery
What is a breast lift or mastopexy?
A mastopexy, or breast lift, aims to raise the position of the breasts. This provides the patient with a significant change in appearance, effectively combating any signs of sagging in the area.
Both sagging and a feeling of emptiness in the breasts can be caused by various factors. The passage of time, breastfeeding, and sudden weight changes are some of the main reasons why tissues weaken and acquire that deteriorated appearance
This is why mastopexy has such high satisfaction rates, as it allows women to regain a figure they lost over the years. Of course, this has a great impact on our patients’ self-esteem and personal confidence.
Breast lift surgery can also be accompanied by the insertion of breast implants, thus increasing the aesthetic benefits of the surgery.

How much does a breast lift cost?
Our aesthetic clinic in Malaga can provide you with a detailed quote after your first consultation with our surgeons. This is because the cost of the service will depend largely on your body characteristics and the needs you express regarding the breast lift .
At Clínica Doctora Yagües, the quote includes hospitalization costs, follow-up appointments and check-ups, anesthesia, medical fees, and the various materials required for the procedure.
These fees vary depending on the quality and experience of each mastopexy specialist . In our case, we have Dr. Yagües, a true leader in the world of plastic surgery.

The first thing we must highlight in this regard is that the definition of mastopexy does not include the removal or placement of any element inside the breasts. This means that the purest version of a breast lift focuses solely and exclusively on repositioning them.
However, this does not mean that this treatment cannot be complemented with others. In the case of a breast lift , it is currently often combined with other types of surgery such as breast augmentation in Malaga and breast reduction. In both cases, it offers high-quality results and leaves our patients fully satisfied.
It is clear, then, that the final decision on this matter will rest entirely with you. At that time, you will have to evaluate with your expert mastopexy professional whether it is advisable to include another procedure in the operation.

One of the great advantages offered by breast lift surgery is that the results can be seen from the very beginning. However, you should bear in mind that during the first few months, the tissues may need to adjust to the new position.
This will result in a slight loss of the height initially gained. However, it’s worth noting that this process is expected and that the results agreed upon with each patient will undoubtedly be achieved.
Despite being considered a low-risk procedure, a breast lift can also have side effects. Firstly, there are the typical factors associated with any surgery, such as scarring, bruising, and possible infections.
Patients may also experience slight numbness in the breasts and nipples, a symptom that will lessen over the following days. There is also a risk of irregular breast shape or size, areola damage, or difficulty breastfeeding.
In all these cases, the chances are minimal, so this information should not discourage you from requesting this procedure. Furthermore, at Clínica Estética Málaga, we have a team of mastopexy professionals who virtually eliminate any type of complication related to breast lifts.
The duration of the results obtained in breast lift surgery will vary depending on each person’s characteristics. The first thing to keep in mind is that if the conditions that caused the sagging occur again, these results may decline rapidly.
It is important to note that one of the factors that most influences this process of tissue wear and tear is genetic. This biological condition will continue to act even after breast repositioning, so it will depend on the speed at which each body processes these changes.
Therefore, our recommendation is that you undergo a mastopexy after having gone through periods of breastfeeding and pregnancy. This is because these stages bring significant changes to the body, including breast sagging.
