We understand that sometimes breast augmentation alone may not achieve your desired results. At Epic Plastic Surgery in Miami, a breast lift performed by fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Orlando Llorente, offers a transformative solution for patients seeking to reshape and rejuvenate their breasts. With his expertise in creating natural, youthful contours, Dr. Llorente provides personalized care that goes beyond simple augmentation.
A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, repositioning the nipple and areola to a more youthful height for a firmer, more elevated shape. A lift changes breast position and shape rather than size — if you also want more fullness, it can be combined with implants. Dr. Llorente tailors every breast lift to your anatomy and goals.
A breast lift is also a common part of a mommy makeover after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

In the following weeks, you can gradually return to various activity levels under Dr. Llorente’s guidance. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure an optimal recovery. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job.

You’ll notice an immediate improvement in your breasts’ position and contours after surgery, but your final results will develop over 3-6 months as swelling subsides and your breasts settle into their new shape. While a breast lift doesn’t stop the aging process, many women enjoy their results for 10-15 years or more. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help prolong your results.
