On the day of your surgery, Dr. Llorente will use advanced techniques to remove excess skin, reshape breast tissue, and reposition the nipple-areola complex. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Llorente's expertise ensures minimal scarring and optimal results customized to your body and aesthetic goals.
We understand that sometimes a breast augmentation alone may not achieve your desired results. At Epic Plastic Surgery, our breast lift procedure, 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, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. This procedure is perfect for patients who are not candidates for breast augmentation alone, as a breast lift addresses changes in breast shape and position due to factors like aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. At Epic Plastic Surgery, we tailor each breast lift to meet your unique needs, creating a more youthful and uplifted breast profile.
A breast lift can effectively address several concerns, including:
Choosing a breast lift at Epic Plastic Surgery means working with one of Miami’s top breast surgeons.

Dr. Llorente will assess your individual case during a comprehensive consultation to determine if a breast lift is the right choice for you.
Recovery from a breast lift typically involves 1-2 weeks of reduced activity. You will need to wear a surgical bra to support the healing tissues. 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.
Dr. Llorente often performs breast lifts in conjunction with breast augmentation for patients desiring both improved shape and increased volume.
While some temporary changes in sensation are normal, most patients regain full sensation within a few months.
Many women can successfully breastfeed after a breast lift, but it's important to discuss this with Dr. Llorente if you're planning future pregnancies.
Dr. Llorente uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. While some scars are inevitable, they typically fade significantly over time and are easily concealed by bras or swimwear.
