Mastopexy with implants or prosthesis, is a surgical procedure that combines a breast lift with an increase in volume using breast implants.

It is ideal for women who wish to restore the shape, firmness, and projection of their breasts after changes caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or simply the passage of time.

Below, we explain when this surgery is recommended and the benefits of combining it with other procedures such as lipoinjection.

What is a mastopexy with implants?

A mastopexy, or breast lift, is a surgical procedure that corrects sagging breasts (breast ptosis) by repositioning the breast tissue and the areola–nipple complex to achieve a firmer and more youthful shape.

When combined with implants, it also restores or increases breast volume, enhancing shape, projection, and overall aesthetic balance.

When is it ideal to perform a mastopexy with implants?

Mastopexy can be performed perfectly without implants, and not all patients who wish to lift their breasts require prostheses. However, there are specific situations where combining both procedures provides the best outcome, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

This surgery is ideal if you have:

Volume loss and sagging

After pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes, breasts may lose internal support and appear empty. Implants help restore upper pole fullness, which lifting alone cannot achieve.

Saggy breasts with little breast tissue

When the skin has stretched and there is minimal breast tissue, an implant restores shape and firmness, preventing flat or deflated results.

Desire to lift and increase at the same time

If you want both an elevation and an increase in size or projection, a mastopexy with implants is the most suitable option. A lift alone can reposition but not enlarge the breasts.

Changes after breastfeeding or weight loss

When breasts appear empty or deflated, the combination of lifting and implants enhances both volume and cleavage.

What are the benefits of a mastopexy with implants?

• Redefine the shape and position of the breasts.
• Recover volume lost after hormonal or weight changes.
• Improves symmetry between breasts.
• Provides a fuller, more youthful contour.
• Can be tailored to each anatomy and aesthetic preference.

Can it be combined with lipoinjection?

Yes. A growing trend is to combine mastopexy with implants and autologous fat grafting to achieve a more personalized and natural result. Breast lipoinjection helps to:

Breast lipoinjection allows:

• Soften the edges of the implant and improve the transition to the chest.
• Perfect the contour of the neckline with your own fat.
• Give a more natural feel to the touch.

This approach combines technology, precision and naturalness, allowing balanced results that adapt to each patient's body.

Why isn’t a lift without implants always enough?

When the goal is to lift and add volume, mastopexy without implants may not be sufficient. While it corrects sagging and improves shape, it does not add projection or volume, which can result in a flatter chest or less defined cleavage.

How to know if you’re a good candidate for a mastopexy with implants?

A personalized medical assessment it's the first step. During the consultation, factors such as:

• Quantity and quality of breast tissue.
• Degree of sagging skin and breast ptosis (sagging)
• Expectations about size and shape.
• General state of health.

Based on this, we define if mastopexy is recommended with or without implants, or even complement it with lipoinjection to perfect the result. If you are looking to regain the shape and volume of your breasts, schedule an assessment consultation to receive comprehensive advice and discover which technique best suits your anatomy and goals.
