Breast Lift
Mastopexy (known as a breast lift) is a body contouring procedure that raises the breasts by trimming away loose skin and surgically tightening the remaining tissue to result in a more youthful and healthier look. This life-changing surgery is performed for women who have lost breast firmness, size, and shape and who are experiencing breast drooping (called ptosis) due to aging, significant weight loss, or nursing. Outstanding advancements in mastopexy techniques have made this procedure so effective and successful that new statistics by the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) reveal nearly a 70% increase in demand since 2000. Raman Mehrzad, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Alamitos, CA, performs this procedure at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center. He is reputed as one of the top Orange County breast surgeons and has years of experience providing happy outcomes on many different breast sizes and shapes. By utilizing the latest methods, Dr. Mehrzad can choose the appropriate technique based upon the degree of sag present and the desired result.
Based in Los Alamitos, we welcome patients from Orange County, Los Angeles, and all surrounding areas.

Ideal candidates for a breast lift
You may come to Ocean Plastic Surgery Center wanting breast implants, but after a private assessment, you may discover that breast lift surgery is a better option. This is due to the amount of sagging you are experiencing. Breasts that have lost elasticity usually need skin removal and tightening surgery to reduce skin looseness and bring the breasts to a perkier position. If you have nipples that droop downward and your breasts sag significantly below the crease line, a breast lift can dramatically help their appearance.
What to expect from a breast lift
Recovery for any type of breast lift is more extensive than surgery with implants only. After the procedure, you will wear a medical compression bra to assist with swelling. A thin tube is also inserted near the location of the incision to help with excess fluid leakage that can often occur after surgery. After surgery, the swelling usually goes away within several days. Dr. Mehrzad or a member of his team will provide in-depth home care instructions to help with your healing process. Aesthetic results after a breast lift surgery begin to take shape after a few weeks as the breasts take their higher placement on your bustline. Your breasts will feel and appear natural, and you will feel healthy and beautiful.
