Breast Lift
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE MEXICO
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, offers women who are unhappy with the sagging appearance of their breasts with a way to restore their shape, and appearance. Plastic surgeon Dr. Jorge Echeagaray focuses on providing our patients in Guadalajara, Mexico with natural-looking results that satisfy their aesthetic needs.
This operation removes excess skin in and around the breast that has been stretched during pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Breast implants may also be used in conjunction with this procedure to achieve the desired result.
Breast Lift Candidates
Women who feel that they have saggy or uneven breasts should consider breast lift surgery. Sagging can be brought on by a wide range of factors, including aging and heredity.
Women who have gained and lost a lot of weight may benefit from a breast lift as well. Excess skin from weight changes cannot be removed without surgery, so breast lifts are an excellent way to correct this issue.

When you meet with Dr. Echeagaray to discuss the breast lift, be prepared to go into great detail about your medical history. Any previous surgeries, pre-existing conditions, and current prescription drugs and dietary supplements should be disclosed.

During the appointment, any potential problems that could arise as a result of the surgery will be explained. Depending on your age and family history, Dr. Echeagaray might require a mammogram (breast X-ray) before surgery.
You will be able to ask any questions you may have about breast lift surgery during this consultation. The optimal surgical approach for you will be decided by Dr. Echeagaray, who will also discuss preparation and recovery time.
