Special
Considerations
This procedure is frequently combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction to further enhance the shape and dimensions of the breasts. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon can explain these options and help you choose the variables that will provide the results you envision.
Planning Your
Treatment
Before undergoing the procedure, you will be taken to a comfortable surgical suite and given general anesthesia to prevent discomfort. The procedure usually requires making an incision that surrounds the nipple, extends downward, and, depending on your needs, follows the lower crease of the breast.
After Your
Breast Lift Procedure
After your surgery, you can expect some mild-to-moderate discomfort for about one to three days. Bandages will be removed 24 hours after the procedure, and a surgical bra must be worn at all times for the next four weeks.

Emilio Codorniz
I’ve been feeling great throughout this process; my self-esteem, my image, my vitality, and my energy have all changed because I’m no longer overweight. I’m not as tired anymore, and I no longer eat until I feel stuffed. On the contrary, I’ve learned how to eat properly.
Shantal Maldonado
I spent years trying to lose weight with diets and exercise without success, and it was incredibly frustrating. I reached the point where I said, "I need help." From the moment I had my first appointment with Dr. Pompa, she gave me so much confidence, and I left feeling fully determined to go through with the surgery.

The way the staff at LIMARP works makes you feel like they already know you. It’s not like a typical clinic where you’re treated as just another patient. They make you feel truly welcome. They’re incredibly kind, caring, and supportive. It’s so nice to come to a place where you feel seen and heard.
Sandra Hernández
Before my surgery, I struggled with both hypertension and diabetes. I began noticing results even before the procedure, as the preoperative diet helped me lose some weight. After the surgery, the weight came off quickly, and my life transformed completely. I am no longer diabetic or hypertensive, I no longer need medication, and I no longer feel constantly tired. It has truly been a life-changing, 360-degree transformation.

What should I know before Breast Lift Surgery?
Our plastic surgery team uses refined incision techniques to ensure that resulting scars will be as discreet as possible.
Excess skin and breast tissue will be removed before the incisions are closed in a way that refines the skin envelope of the breast and creates a more youthful breast contour.
A breast lift is typically an outpatient procedure, meaning you will be free to return to your home or hotel room the day of surgery, but this depends on your evolution and the educated judgment of your surgical team.
How is the process After Breast Lift Procedure?
After your surgery, you can expect some mild-to-moderate discomfort for about one to three days. Bandages will be removed 24 hours after the procedure, and a surgical bra must be worn at all times for the next four weeks. This compression garment will minimize swelling and keep your breasts properly positioned as they heal. About five to seven days after surgery, the sutures will be removed and most patients can return to their usual routine in one to two weeks.
As you heal, avoid lying flat on your back, it is much better you rest in a position in which your upper body remains elevated. A wedge pillow can be helpful in achieving this. Patients should avoid exercise for approximately four to six weeks. This will prevent swelling and discomfort until the breasts are fully healed, which usually take three to four months.
Our plastic surgery team will provide you with specific post-surgical care instructions. Following these instructions can help you to heal properly and cause scars to fade as much as possible.
