What is the breast lift procedure like?
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.
Why Choose Epic Plastic Surgery for Breast Lift?
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.
What is a breast lift?
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.

Breast Lift Recovery
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.

Breast Lift Results
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.
