What is a California Breast Lift®?

At Pacific Center Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, California, a breast lift, also referred to as a natural breast lift, is a fat transfer breast enhancement that offers a natural alternative to breast augmentation with implants and the surgical breast lift. With a fat transfer, you can enhance your breasts’ size, shape, and contour using your natural fat cells. By choosing the fat transfer technique, you can also receive the slimming benefits of liposuction on another body area.

To determine if you are a candidate for a California Breast Lift and to determine your best treatment options, your PCPS surgeon in Newport Beach will perform a physical examination and review your medical history. Your surgeon may recommend you undergo a baseline mammogram before and after your mastopexy to help identify any changes in your breast tissue. 

We’ve helped thousands of breast lift patients achieve long-lasting results from their breast lifts by restoring the position and shape of their breasts. As board-certified surgeons with decades of combined experience, our providers offer the best care, from consultation to post-op. Our team can also discuss your financing options  to help you manage the breast lift cost.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a surgery designed to enhance the shape, position, and fullness of the breasts. It’s particularly helpful to women who are bothered by the look of their breasts due to:

Sagging Breasts

Over time, gravity might take its toll on the breasts, causing them to sag. In fact, this effect of gravity is most visible after giving birth and breastfeeding since hormone changes and weight loss often lead to the loss of elasticity in breast tissue.

Loss of Volume

A decrease in collagen and elastin production in the skin is responsible for the loss of volume, flattening, and loss of fullness in the breasts as people age.

Asymmetry

One breast can sometimes be a little bigger than the other or slightly smaller. Significant asymmetry, however, is a major issue for many women for a number of reasons. These include hormonal imbalances, past surgeries, or even medical conditions that can affect the development and size of the breasts.

Excess Skin

When such losses are significant, this will likely result in drooping, hanging skin, especially on tissues that abound more and have a bigger mass, like the breasts.

Generally, the best candidate for breast lift should usually:

  • Be in good health
  • Be a non-smoker
  • Have realistic expectations of the outcomes of the procedure
  • Be comfortable with scarring
  • Have a stable weight

Remember that a breast lift is not meant to enlarge. If you want the lift with more volume, then perhaps a breast augmentation will be better. Before you undergo breast lift surgery, you should consult with an accredited plastic surgeon who assesses your needs and sets up a discussion for you to discuss your goals, with the conclusion of whether you are suited to undergo the procedure. In the consultation, you may question anything that is on your mind and address any issues as well. A breast lift is a personal choice. It is very important to weigh the benefits and risks carefully and choose a qualified surgeon to ensure optimal results.

Benefits of California Breast Lift®

California Breast Lift ®, the new technique for breast uplift, offers many benefits to women. This procedure uses fat transfer and liposuction to ensure that natural-looking results are achieved.

Natural-Looking Results

The main advantage of a California Breast Lift is its ability to produce results that look absolutely natural. Unlike other breast implants that may appear unnatural, this procedure uses the body’s own fat. Fat cells are taken from another part of the body, such as the abdomen or the thighs, and then injected into the breast tissue very carefully. Thus, it is one of the procedures that would ensure a harmonious blending of the added volume and result in a very natural look.   

Dual Benefits

A California Breast Lift can provide dual advantages because it enhances the breasts while simultaneously contouring the body. During the surgery, the excess fat is extracted from a donor site, improving the curvature definition of that body part. These benefits make it possible to give the human body an aesthetic appearance. 

Minimal Scarring

Another important benefit of a California Breast Lift is that it minimizes scarring. The small incisions, both for fat harvesting and injection, placed in inconspicuous areas reduce the visibility of scars, thereby leaving a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.   

Long Lasting Results

The results of a California Breast Lift are long-term. The transplanted fat cells are absorbed into the breast tissue and provide for a long-lasting augmentation. However, a stable weight must be maintained to achieve this. A dramatic weight fluctuation will alter the appearance.

Safe and Effective

It has been performed for decades now, so the California Breast Lift procedure is known as safe and sound. Provided that experienced and qualified surgeons have performed it, the associated risks of the breast lift procedure performed will be minimal. The technique itself has undergone refinement through experience. 

Improved Self-Confidence

The most significant advantage of a California Breast Lift is probably its ability to raise self-esteem. By improving the appearance of the breasts, it has the potential to positively impact a woman’s body image and, therefore, overall well-being. Improved self-confidence is often associated with better social life, professional success, and overall well-being.

Learn More About Breast Lift

A fat transfer to the breasts involves two parts. Liposuction will be used to obtain the fat cells for the first part of your procedure. Liposuction requires tiny incisions over the selected donor site, whether it’s on the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The fat cells are broken up and removed using a cannula device and are then gently processed. Once pure fat cells remain, they are ready to be placed in the breast mound. Our board-certified plastic surgeon will make lipo-injections with the fat and ensure even distribution for a smooth breast contour. The fat can also be placed in other places if desired.

After a fat transfer to the breasts, there will be some recovery to the breasts as well as the donor site where liposuction was performed. You should plan for about a week off of work to recover. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and general discomfort in the breasts and the donor site. This can be managed with prescription pain medication and an ice pack. To ensure that the fat cells survive the transfer, you should avoid laying on your stomach or putting any pressure on the breasts for several weeks and refrain from nicotine-containing products.

Once the swelling has diminished after the fat transfer, you can enjoy a natural-looking enhancement to the size, symmetry, and contour of your breasts. You can also enjoy the slimming benefits of liposuction to the donor area for an overall improved, well-balanced figure. The results of a fat transfer to the breasts are long-lasting and often permanent.

Natural breast lift is a popular breast enhancement technique that can address naturally small breasts, uneven contour, asymmetry, and breast deformities. Fat transfer is an effective solution for subtle, natural-looking breast enhancement. However, those who want to significantly increase their breast size or address severe sagging may be better candidates for breast augmentation or surgical breast lift. To be a successful fat transfer candidate, you should have enough excess fat in another area of the body, like the abdomen or thighs.

While other non-invasive options, such as dermal fillers, may offer a temporary volume with some semblance of uplift, only a traditional surgical breast lift can definitively tackle significant sag and loss of volume. When compared with non-surgical alternatives, a surgical lift can truly last much, much longer and can totally change the overall breast shape, orientation, and fullness in your bust.

While other non-invasive options, such as dermal fillers, may offer a temporary volume with some semblance of uplift, Some swelling and bruising are expected after a breast lift. To minimize these side effects, heed your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. These may include:

  • Wearing a compression bra: This will help in reducing swelling and support the breasts.
  • Elevating your head: Sleeping with your head elevated can help reduce swelling and promote drainage.
  • Application of ice packs: Applying ice to the breasts may reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Avoid intense workouts: Resting reduces irritation to the body, allowing for healing. 
  • Taking your prescription pain medication: These assist in reducing the discomfort from which one is suffering.

The bulk of discomfort after breast lift surgery in patients is minimal. Most will experience some soreness and tenderness, but many of them will be taken care of with OTC pain medication. Specific instructions about pain management may have to wait until you speak with your doctor after a time in recovery.

It is advisable to sleep on your back for the first few weeks after your breast lift. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side, as this can put pressure on your breasts and delay the healing process. Extra pillows under your head can also help reduce swelling and improve comfort.
