Breast Lift with Implants
Newport Beach | Dr. Jed Horowitz

Overview of Breast Lift with Implants
A breast lift with implants, also known as augmentation mastopexy, is a procedure designed to both lift and enhance breast volume in a single surgery. It is ideal for patients who have experienced sagging along with loss of fullness, often due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, Dr. Jed Horowitz performs breast lift with implants to restore a more youthful breast position while adding volume and improving overall shape. This combined approach creates balanced, natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s body.
Patients from Newport Beach, Orange County, and throughout Southern California choose this procedure to achieve both lift and fullness in one comprehensive treatment.
What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?
A breast lift with implants combines two procedures:
-
Breast lift (mastopexy): Raises and reshapes the breasts
-
Breast augmentation: Adds volume using implants
This combination addresses both sagging and volume loss, creating a more youthful and proportionate breast appearance.
Dr. Jed Horowitz carefully designs each procedure to ensure the lift and implant placement work together harmoniously.


What Concerns Does This Procedure Address?
A breast lift with implants can improve:
-
Sagging or drooping breasts (ptosis)
-
Loss of volume in the upper breast
-
Deflated appearance after pregnancy or weight loss
-
Downward-pointing nipples
-
Breast asymmetry
-
Lack of fullness in clothing or swimwear
This procedure is especially beneficial for patients who want a lifted shape and enhanced fullness.

How the Procedure Works
Breast lift with implants is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
Step 1: Incision placement
Incisions are made based on the amount of lift required, typically around the areola and vertically down the breast, or in an anchor pattern.
Step 2: Implant placement
The selected implant is placed in the optimal position for natural contour and support.
Step 3: Breast reshaping
Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped.
Step 4: Nipple repositioning
The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful location.
Step 5: Closure
Incisions are carefully closed to minimize visible scarring.
