Breast Lift Revision in Santa Monica Beverly Hills
One of the most requested cosmetic surgeries in the United States is a breastlift, performed on women of childbearing age who have noticed a gradual descent and looseness of the breasts. A breastlift is performed to tighten the breast skin, remove stretch marks, lift the nipples, and improve breast volume and cleavage. A breastlift procedure is often referred to as a mastopexy and can dramatically improve self-confidence and breast contour in women. Although breastlifts are very common in women after pregnancy, there are also many reasons why younger women may choose to undergo a breastlift procedure for cosmetic reasons.
Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian at Kare Plastic Surgery + Skin Health Center in Santa Monica is a specialist in short-scar breastlifts that are combined with laser therapy to improve breast volume and shape. The goal of a short-scar breastlift is to minimize surgical incisions and maximize youthful volume and shape of the breasts. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Karamanoukian can combine a breast lift procedure with breast implants to improve breast volume at the same time.
If you have already undergone a breastlift procedure and are unhappy with the surgical results, Dr. Karamanoukian can perform a revision breastlift in order to minimize scarring and improve the perkiness of your breasts. A revision breastlift is usually performed under general anesthesia and can help you regain your youthful confidence.
Breast Lift Revision with Motiva Breast Implants
A breast lift mastopexy is a transformative procedure designed to address the effects of ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and gravity on the breasts. Over time, skin loses elasticity and breast tissue descends, resulting in sagging, flattened contours, and downward-pointing nipples. The primary objectives of a breast lift are to reposition the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful height, remove excess skin, reshape the breast mound, and restore a firmer, rounder profile.
While a breast lift corrects ptosis (drooping) effectively, it does not significantly increase breast volume. For many patients — particularly those who have experienced volume loss following weight changes or breastfeeding — combining a lift with a small breast implant delivers the most complete and natural-looking result. A modest implant, typically ranging from 150cc to 275cc, adds gentle fullness to the upper pole of the breast without overwhelming the refined shape achieved by the lift. This combination approach avoids the flat or deflated appearance that can remain after a lift alone.
When selecting an implant for augmentation-mastopexy, the quality and safety profile of the implant is paramount. Motiva breast implants represent the leading edge of implant technology, engineered across several critical dimensions.
- Surface Texture: Motiva implants feature SilkSurface® and TrueMonobloc® technologies, offering a nanotextured shell that minimises friction and tissue adherence while significantly reducing the risk of capsular contracture and BIA-ALCL compared to macro-textured implants.
- Silicone Polymer: The proprietary ProgressiveGel Ultima® silicone is a high-cohesivity, form-stable gel that mimics the natural movement and feel of breast tissue — soft to the touch yet resilient under compression.
- Shell-to-Silicone Interface: Motiva's BluSeal® indicator is a barrier layer integrated within the implant shell, providing a visual quality check during manufacturing and an additional defence against gel diffusion.
Together, these innovations make Motiva implants an outstanding choice for patients seeking long-lasting, safe, and aesthetically superior outcomes following a breast lift.
