Orange County Breast Lift

Name: Breast Lift
Brand: Cara Plastic Surgery & Laser Center
Rating: 4.5 (412 reviews)

Beautiful breasts are about more than size—they’re about shape, proportion, and position. Over time, aging, gravity, pregnancy, and weight loss can cause the breasts to sag. A breast lift at Cara Plastic Surgery in Orange County is designed to restore youthful contours and improve overall symmetry and firmness.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that elevates and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple-areolar complex, and tightening surrounding tissue. It can also reduce the size of stretched areolas if necessary. The primary goal is to achieve a lifted, rejuvenated breast profile without changing overall breast volume—although the procedure can be combined with augmentation for added fullness.

Incision Options for a Breast Lift

Incision placement depends on the degree of sagging and your anatomy. Dr. Kahng uses one of the following techniques:

Periareolar incision: Around the edge of the areola; suitable for mild sagging
Vertical (lollipop) incision: Around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease
Anchor (inverted T) incision: Around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast fold; used for more advanced ptosis

Each approach is selected based on the amount of lift required, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.

Why Women in Orange County Choose a Breast Lift

Many patients seek breast lift surgery to address changes caused by life events or the natural aging process. Mastopexy in Orange County at Cara Plastic Surgery & Laser Center may be right for you if you want to:

Rejuvenate breast shape affected by aging and gravity
Restore firmness and height after pregnancy or breastfeeding
Improve contour and symmetry after significant weight loss
Refine breast shape without increasing volume
Correct nipple positioning or reduce enlarged areolas

Ideal Candidates for a Breast Lift

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if:

Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast fold
You’re satisfied with breast volume in a bra but unhappy with sagging
Your breasts are asymmetrical or have an elongated/tuberous shape
You are in good general health and at a stable weight

During your consultation, Dr. Kahng will evaluate your anatomy and help determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia at our AAAASF-accredited facility in Orange County. Dr. Kahng uses a strategic technique based on your body’s unique proportions. In most cases, an anchor-shaped incision is used to allow for greater reshaping flexibility.

Excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed, and the breast mound and nipple-areolar complex are repositioned higher on the chest. For patients with mild sagging or smaller breasts, a periareolar incision may be sufficient and results in less scarring and downtime.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following surgery, you will need assistance for the first 24 hours. Most patients return to light activity within 2–3 days, although complete recovery typically takes several weeks. A compression garment is worn for approximately six weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.

Dr. Kahng provides each patient with a tailored aftercare plan that includes instructions for bathing, sleeping, physical activity, and incision care. Postoperative discomfort is managed with prescribed pain medication, and follow-up visits ensure your healing is progressing properly.

What Results Can You Expect?

A breast lift elevates the nipple to a more youthful position, improves the angle and shape of the breast, and creates a firmer, more symmetrical appearance. The results often allow for expanded wardrobe options and increased self-confidence.

While no cosmetic surgery stops the aging process, the results of a breast lift are long-lasting—especially with proper lifestyle habits, weight stability, and ongoing skin care.
