Breast Lift in Tijuana (Mastopexy)

The price is defined in your in-person assessment, based on the degree of sagging, the applicable technique, and whether you decide to combine it with an implant. We prefer to give you a personalized quote rather than a generic price. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll guide you.

It's a breast lift: excess skin is removed, breast tissue is repositioned, and the areola-nipple complex is placed at a more natural height. It doesn't add volume — that's what breast augmentation with an implant is for.

Breast augmentation adds volume with an implant; mastopexy repositions the tissue you already have to correct sagging, without meaningfully changing size. They're different goals and are sometimes combined. If you're looking for volume, the breast augmentation page covers that option in detail.

It depends on your goal. If you only want to correct the sagging and you like your current volume, mastopexy alone solves that. If you also want more volume, or to recover what was lost over time, it's combined with an implant in the same surgical session. Which one applies to your case is decided in your assessment.

There's no single technique: the choice between periareolar, vertical, or anchor depends on the degree of ptosis (sagging), your skin's elasticity, and the result you're looking for. It's explained and decided together with you in your assessment, not before.

Every mastopexy leaves a scar — it's inherent to the technique, not an avoidable side effect. Its extent depends on the technique your case requires: from a line around the areola to an anchor shape in cases with more sagging. How each person's skin scars varies by patient and can't be promised in advance.

It's determined in your assessment, evaluating the position of the nipple relative to the breast fold and how much excess skin there is. It's not something you can self-diagnose accurately in the mirror — that's why the in-person assessment is the first step, not a formality.

Generally under general anesthesia, in a hospital setting (Hospital MAC), with or without implant placement based on the plan defined in your assessment. Approach details are explained in consultation.

It progresses in stages: swelling and sensitivity the first few days, a postsurgical bra worn for several weeks, and a result that keeps settling progressively. Exact timing varies by patient; in your assessment you receive concrete instructions.

As with any surgery: swelling, bruising, risk of infection or bleeding, nipple sensation changes (temporary or, less often, permanent), temporary asymmetry while swelling goes down, and variability in how each person's skin scars. These are explained in detail, for your case, in your assessment.

Mastopexy can affect breastfeeding because it repositions the areola-nipple complex and glandular tissue, though the impact varies by technique and by each anatomy. If you're planning a future pregnancy, mention it in your assessment: it may change the recommended timing for your surgery.

There's no fixed age: it's recommended once the sagging is already present and, generally, when there's no pregnancy planned in the short term — because pregnancy and breastfeeding can modify the tissue again. It's evaluated case by case in your assessment.

The lift corrects the tissue's current position, but the breast keeps aging over time, just as it did before surgery — factors like weight, pregnancy, or gravity can modify it again over the years. It's not a procedure that freezes the result forever.

Unlike other procedures, the mastopexy assessment requires an in-person review: the degree of sagging and your skin's elasticity are evaluated in person, not over video call. If you're coming from San Diego or the rest of California, we can answer initial questions through a bilingual virtual consultation, but the assessment that defines your plan happens in Tijuana; follow-up afterward can continue remotely.

A board-certified plastic surgeon who operates in a hospital setting, defines the technique based on your anatomy — not a template — and provides bilingual follow-up.
