Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in Newport Beach & Irvine, CA

Introduction

About the Breast Lift

Weight loss and nursing can take a toll on your breasts. If your breasts have deflated or sagged because of changes, it can be difficult to feel confident without a bra. Sagging breasts are often seen as a sign of age, meaning you might not look as young as you feel. If it’s difficult to look in the mirror or see yourself in pictures, we understand, and you’re not alone. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reduces excess breast skin and tissue, lifting the breasts to a more upright position. It uses specialized incisions to excise skin and lift the breasts higher on the chest, creating a youthful look and transforming your confidence in and out of clothing.

Good Candidates for a Breast Lift

The journey to choosing cosmetic surgery is rarely an easy one. But an important first step is determining if the breast lift fits your goals. You have options when it comes to breast surgery, and the breast lift is only one of them. You may be a good fit for the breast lift if you identify with the following:

What brings you here?

Finding the Right Fit

Is a Breast Lift Right for You?

A breast lift reshapes and raises tissue that has settled over time, restoring a firmer position without changing your cup size. The best way to know if it suits you is to look at where you are right now and whether any of the points below describe your situation.

You Have Sagging Breasts 

If you love the way your breasts look when wearing a bra but don’t like how they sag when going without, a breast lift may be able to help.  

You’ve Recently Lost Weight or Been Pregnant 

Weight loss and pregnancy can make permanent changes to the breasts. A breast lift can be part of a post-weight-loss rejuvenation package or a mommy makeover according to your needs. 

You’re in Overall Good Health 

As with any surgery, you should be in overall good health. Dr. Tehrani will review the details of your health history to determine if it’s a good fit for you.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

How can we help you feel great about your decision?

Imagine how a breast lift could help you love the way your breasts look both in and out of clothing. There are many more benefits to the breast lift, and Dr. Tehrani can help you learn more during a consultation. Here are just a few benefits. 

Lifted, Perkier Breasts 

Perky, lifted breasts are a sign of youth, and sagging can make you look younger than you feel. A breast lift can create the appearance of wearing a bra, even in outfits where you go without. 

Repositioned Nipples 

If your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease, a breast lift can help. The nipples can be lifted to a more upright, central position on the breast. 

Better Hygiene 

Sagging breasts can increase skin-on-skin contact, causing difficulties with hygiene. If you experience excess sweating, rash, or irritation because of sagging breasts, the breast lift can help.

Breast Lift Preparation

Choosing a breast lift is a great way to invest in yourself and positively impact your self-confidence.

Get ready for your transformation!

Preparation is key to any successful surgery. You’ll receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for your surgery and recovery.

Some common ways people prepare for surgery include picking up their necessary medications, snacks, and extra pillows. Pillows are commonly used to help you adjust during your recovery. These elevate the treatment area and help you adjust to a more comfortable sleeping position. A good night’s rest will be essential. 

Compare & Contrast

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation

Breast Lift 

As women age, the breasts lose shape and firmness. The skin gradually loses its elasticity and no longer holds the breasts in a youthful, upright position. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes also increase sagging. If you have sagging breasts (ptosis), you may benefit from a breast lift. 

Breast Augmentation 

For women with flat or small breasts, more volume can drastically change their overall figure. Breast augmentation is a popular procedure that can enhance the breasts using implants while not necessarily lifting or restoring them. Breast implants don’t correct sagging, but can create a whole new look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a breast lift be combined with other procedures?

Breast lift can be a valuable procedure performed alone, but you can gain many benefits by combining it. Some of the most common choices are breast augmentation and breast reduction, which can increase and reduce the size of the breasts respectively. Fat transfer breast augmentation is another possible option.

How does weight loss or gain affect breast lift results?

Weight changes can impact your breast lift results by causing changes in breast size. These changes, when significant, can stretch the breasts and cause them to sag again. Dr. Tehrani recommends maintaining a stable weight for best results.

What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?

A breast lift doesn’t change the size of the breasts – it simply lifts them to a higher position on the chest and gets rid of sagging. Breast augmentation, on the other hand, enhances the size of the breasts but doesn’t get rid of sagging.

Can you breastfeed after a breast lift?

A breast lift doesn’t impact your ability to breastfeed, and many women successfully do so after surgery. However, certain incision patterns can affect nipple sensitivity. If you’re concerned about breastfeeding, discuss it with Dr. Tehrani during your consultation.

How long do scars from a breast lift take to fade?

It can take up to one year for your scars to settle into their final appearance. Dr. Tehrani can recommend scar treatments to help fade your incisions during your initial recovery.
