Breast Surgery
Personalised breast procedures with cutting-edge technique. Natural, proportional and long-lasting results in Madrid, Marbella and Gibraltar.
Breast surgery is one of the most requested aesthetic plastic surgery procedures in the world, and one that requires the greatest technical precision and aesthetic judgement. Dr. Marco Vricella combines over 20 years of experience in breast surgery in Madrid with an artistic vision focused on harmonious, proportional and completely natural results.
Each procedure — whether a breast augmentation with implants, a mastopexy or breast lift, a breast reduction, or tuberous breast correction — is planned on an individual basis. The size, shape, projection and surgical technique are all adapted to each patient’s unique anatomy.
Dr. Vricella works exclusively with the latest generation cohesive silicone implants, certified and with extensive clinical backing. The initial consultation is always an active listening process: body morphology is analysed, results are simulated and all options are explained with complete transparency.
Each technique is selected and adapted following a personalised evaluation. The goal is always the same: natural results that integrate seamlessly with the body’s overall proportions.
01
Breast Augmentation
Using anatomical or round cohesive silicone implants, breast volume is increased and projection and symmetry are improved. Ideal for small, asymmetric breasts or those that have lost volume following pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Technique to lift and reposition ptotic (sagging) breast tissue, redefining it with a firmer, more youthful silhouette. Can be combined with breast implants when the patient also wishes to restore volume.
For patients with breast hypertrophy (excessively large breasts), the reduction removes excess glandular tissue and skin, relieving back pain, postural difficulties and significantly improving quality of life.
Tuberous breasts are a congenital condition characterised by a narrow base, herniation of glandular tissue through the areola, and ptosis. The correction combines glandular release, tissue remodelling and, in many cases, implants, achieving a natural and harmonious breast shape that was not possible without surgery. It is one of the most technically complex procedures within breast surgery.
Reconstructive surgery for patients who have undergone mastectomy for breast cancer or other causes. Techniques using implants, expanders or autologous tissue are employed, restoring breast shape and symmetry to a high aesthetic standard.
Breast augmentation is the most requested breast surgery procedure at Dr. Vricella’s clinic. Choosing the right implant — shape, profile, texture and size — is essential to achieving a result that integrates naturally with each patient’s silhouette.

Tuberous breasts are a congenital malformation affecting between 1 and 5% of the female population. It is characterised by a narrow breast base, herniation of glandular tissue through the areola and ptosis. Many patients do not know the name of their condition but recognise it immediately.
Dr. Vricella specialises in tuberous breast correction in Madrid, applying glandular release and remodelling techniques combined with implants of specific size and shape. The goal is a completely natural-looking breast that eliminates the morphological stigmas of the condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Breast Surgery — Your questions answered
The most common questions from patients considering breast surgery in Madrid with Dr. Marco Vricella.
Dr. Vricella works with the latest generation cohesive silicone implants, both anatomical and round. The choice depends on the patient’s anatomy, chest morphology, desired outcome and lifestyle. During the consultation a simulation is performed so the patient can visualise the result before making any decision.
Modern implants do not have a fixed expiry date. Provided there are no complications (rupture, capsular contracture, etc.), they can be retained indefinitely. However, a periodic imaging review — generally at 10–12 years — is recommended to confirm the implant remains in good condition.
The selection is made by combining morphometric measurements of the chest and breast with the patient’s aesthetic wishes. Trial sizers and digital simulators are used so the patient can visualise the result before deciding. Dr. Vricella guides the process to ensure proportionality and a natural outcome.
Recovery is gradual. Most patients resume day-to-day activities within 5–7 days. Moderate exercise can be restarted at 3–4 weeks, while intense exercise (weights, running) should wait 4–6 weeks. Residual swelling reduces gradually over the first 3 months.
Pain is usually moderate and well controlled with analgesics. The most common sensation is tightness or pressure in the chest during the first few days, particularly with submuscular implants. Most patients describe the post-operative period as more manageable than they expected.
In the majority of cases, yes. The technique preserves the milk ducts and nipple innervation. The access route also plays a role: the inframammary incision typically has the least impact on breastfeeding. Dr. Vricella discusses this aspect with each patient during the consultation.
Initial results are visible at 3–4 weeks once the initial swelling subsides. The definitive result is reached between 3 and 6 months, when the implant has settled into its final position and the tissues have fully adapted.
Incisions are made in strategic, discreet areas: the inframammary fold, the lower edge of the areola or the axilla. With time and proper care (sun protection, scar creams), scars fade and minimise, becoming virtually imperceptible in the majority of patients.
It is normal to experience temporary changes in sensitivity of the nipple and breast during the first months. In the vast majority of cases sensitivity is fully restored. The techniques employed by Dr. Vricella minimise the risk of permanent alterations in innervation.
