What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, technical name as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by:

Removing excess, stretched skin
Tightening and reshaping breast tissue
Repositioning the nipple and areola
Improving breast firmness and contour

Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not significantly increase breast size, but it can be combined with implants or breast reduction if volume changes are desired.

Notice nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
Have lost breast shape after pregnancy or weight loss

How Does a Breast Lift Procedure Work?

Your mastopexy in Newport Beach is performed under general anesthesia for comfort and safety.

During the procedure, Dr. Wirth will:

Create carefully planned incisions
Lift and reshape the underlying breast tissue
Remove excess skin
Reposition the nipple and areola
Reduce areola size if necessary
Close incisions with meticulous suturing

The goal is a lifted, youthful breast contour with minimal visible scarring.

Breast Lift Incision Options

The incision pattern depends on the degree of sagging and your anatomy:

Periareolar (Donut) Incision

Around the areola
Ideal for mild sagging
Minimal visible scarring

Vertical (Lollipop) Incision

Around the areola + vertical line to breast crease
Common for moderate sagging

Anchor (Inverted-T) Incision

Around the areola, vertically downward, and along the breast crease
Used for significant sagging or excess skin

All incisions are placed strategically to be well-hidden in bras and swimwear, and detailed scar-care guidance is provided.

Breast Lift Recovery & Aftercare

After surgery, your breasts will be bandaged and supported with a surgical bra to reduce swelling and promote healing.

What to Expect

Swelling and soreness for the first 1–2 weeks
Gradual improvement in shape over several months
Most patients return to desk work within 1–2 weeks

Recovery Tips

Arrange help for the first 24–48 hours
Avoid lifting, stretching, or strenuous activity
Take medications exactly as prescribed
Walk gently to promote circulation
Sleep on your back with your upper body elevated
Eat nutritious foods and stay well-hydrated

Following post-operative instructions closely helps ensure the best outcome with breast lift in Newport Beach with Dr. Wirth.

Breast Lift with Augmentation or Reduction

Many patients choose to combine their breast lift with another procedure:

Breast Lift + Augmentation: Restores volume and lift
Breast Lift + Reduction: Improves comfort and proportion
Mommy Makeover: Comprehensive post-pregnancy rejuvenation

Dr. Wirth will help determine whether a combination approach best supports your goals.

Breast Lift FAQs

How much does a breast lift cost?

Pricing varies based on your personalized surgical plan. Your consultation includes a detailed quote covering surgeon, facility, anesthesia, and follow-up care fees.

Will I have visible scars?

All breast lifts require incisions, but scars are placed carefully and fade over time. Most are easily concealed by bras and swimwear.

Can a breast lift correct asymmetry?

Yes. A breast lift can improve asymmetry by adjusting breast shape, height, and nipple position.

Can nipple or areola size be reduced?

Yes. Nipple and areola size can be reduced and repositioned during surgery.

Do I need implants with a breast lift?

Not necessarily. If volume loss is a concern, implants can be added, but many patients are happy with lift-only results.

Should I wait until after having children?

Future pregnancies can affect results. If you plan to have children, this will be discussed during your consultation.
