I was referred to Dr Goldberg for a left breast reconstruction with right breast reduction, following a wide excision lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy due to diagnosed early stage breast cancer. My time from diagnosis to lumpectomy to reconstruction was very quick - less than 3 months from initial issue found on mammogram to completion of surgical interventions. I feel so very fortunate to have been able to consult with Dr Goldberg and have her go over all of the details of my surgery to ease my concerns. Having never been subject to general anesthesia, only to suddenly face it twice in less than 2 weeks was rather daunting. But I felt immediately confident and comfortable in her care and appreciated that she really listened to and addressed all of my questions. Dr Goldberg and her staff have been so wonderful to me through this entire process and I honestly could not be more grateful. I am now healing well and know that my aesthetic outcome is going to be fantastic due to Dr Goldberg’s expertise. Truly, highly recommend.Get your mammograms!

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year and I cannot thank Dr. Goldberg enough for all her services, both in the operating room and after care. Dr.Goldberg operated on my mother for a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction this year. Besides from doing a terrific job on both procedures, she also provided my mother with tremendous support. Her words of encouragement and personality really uplifted my mom during this difficult time. Although my mother’s skin was very thin, Dr, Goldberg was able to assist in making my mother’s skin as healthy as possible. I appreciate her patience, kindness, and skill throughout this journey. I cannot thank her enough for her services.

Dr.Goldberg, has been anything but an amazing doctor! She has been working with me for almost a year now. I’m a breast cancer survivor and after my double mastectomy my skin was paper thin. Sometimes I would think how is this going to heal? I felt horrible. Well Doctor Goldberg worked wonders! I’m still in the process of healing but she has taken me such a long way. My results are beautiful, nothing I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much Dr.Goldberg, for your perfectionist in your work and your amazing skills. May God continue to use you to bless other people like you have blessed me.

I was diagnosed with right breast cancer in June of 2018 & underwent a right breast mastectomy with an implant based reconstruction with another plastic surgeon. Shortly after I was told I needed to have radiation on my breast and that was when everything changed for me. Unfortunately after the radiation my breast became hard, stiff and the shape completely changed. This caused me to have some pain and to become creative with my clothing and bras to have symmetry between the two breasts. Most plastic surgeons are able to do implant based reconstruction but not all are able to give you the option to have autologous tissue reconstruction (using your own bodies tissue to reconstruct a new breast). I was recommended to see Dr. Mytien Goldberg a microsurgeon who was able to give me options and customize a reconstruction that was best suited for my body, my history, and unique to me. Dr. Mytien Goldberg is able to understand your history but also foresee what may be needed down the line to best assess what surgical plan is best in the long run. She was able to remove the implant from my breast and give me a brand new breast created by using a DIEP flap (using the tissue from my abdomen). My new breast looks and feels so natural and is finally symmetrical to the left breast. I no longer have to hide the shape and can wear what I want. My abdomen essentially getting a free tummy tuck was a complete bonus! My tummy is tighter and flatter than it has been in years. I’ve never not had a stomach before that it feels great.Dr. Mytien Goldberg was amazing. She was personable, listened well, she was thorough with her time and explanations, and was meticulous with her work. I appreciate the help of Dr. Goldberg and her staff!Thank you Dr. Goldberg!

I will start by saying I appreciate that the office is an all woman office! From the moment I walked into the office I felt welcomed, and greeted. All the office staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The procedure I had done by Dr. Goldberg was a breast reduction. I was scared at first looking into surgeons but with Dr. Goldberg experience I felt motivated to book an appointment. Her procedure was about 4 hours long and I will say the recovery process wasn’t what I expected! Within 5 days of being post op I wasn’t needing to take any pain medication! My swelling went down quick and had minimal bruising and no noticeable bleeding or leakage. I will say if you are hesitant or looking into any procedure please look into booking an appointment with her office! Love all the ladies there!

I love going to Dr. Goldberg! It is so easy to make an appointment. She did my breast implants in 2014 and she just re did them this July in 2023. I also had an open neck lift and chin implant done along with my breast implants in July and everything turned out better than I imagined.

I was diagnosed with right breast carcinoma. I have also had many medical problems which made my treatment more complicated. I was recommended to have a mastectomy but I wanted to reserve my breasts. With another doctor, Dr. Goldberg was able to give me the breasts I loved and they are so symmetrical. I am so happy to have found her and with my results that Dr. Goldberg has given me! She provided me with an easy experience even with such a hard process. She is the most lovely Doctor.SOAD MAKAR

Dr. Goldberg is the BEST! I love having a woman surgeon who understands a woman’s body. She is sensitive and compassionate. She’s very supportive and a terrific Dr. You won’t be disappointed if you choose her for any procedure from Fillers to bigger surgeries. I have had her remove a lipoma from my neck, a revise my scar from a tummy tuck & she just did an ear lope reduction! All great results!

My journey began back in late 2019. On December 10, 2019, I was admitted to Harbor UCLA due to necrotizing fasciitis. I was in the hospital for quite some time, requiring multiple surgeries to save my left upper limb, but most importantly, my life. I had most of my left bicep removed due to the infection that was inside. Fortunately, my right upper extremity was saved. I had “very limited mobility” as you can imagine with the loss of muscle and extensive nerve damage.I am forever grateful to Dr. Goldberg. She has reconstructed my whole bicep and put my extremity back together, literally. After several surgeries, including skin grafts, scare tissue repairs, and nerve repair surgeries… I have mobility back in my wrist, and I have finger extension. I cannot thank Dr. Goldberg and the whole team who helped save my life and my arm enough. Your expertise, professionalism and care you delivered has not only given me function back into my arm but has given me more reasons to live and enjoy all that life brings my way. Words really cannot express what I feel… but I thank you and your team so much!-Eldon Delos Santos

I am so happy to have Dr. Goldberg as my surgeon. She is diligent,patient and a masterful microsurgeon. My case was complex. It involved breast reconstruction via diep flap, lymph node transfer and lymphovenous Bypass to resolve lymphedema from my first Cancer removal surgery. Dr. Goldberg is an excellent listener and offered me options when other surgeons were not interested in pursuing my case. I am thankful for her tenacity and her compassion. I can not leave this review without also thank her excellent team Vanessa and Seline. There professionalism and kindness made this journey so much easier. 💟

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 70 and thought I had no choice but to get a mastectomy and be completely flat chested. I came to Dr. Mytien Goldberg and she informed me that I was a great candidate for an Implant based reconstruction or an autologous tissue based breast reconstruction. I chose to get a Implant based reconstruction and the best part was that it was all done in one surgery! I went directly to implant and did not need any expanders. Of course, there is some pain but it's tolerable. And this whole journey has been worth it for the results. I wish I came to see Dr. Goldberg sooner and didn't wait 4 months to muster up the courage. She put me at ease and relaxed any fears i had about having the surgery and an implant. I'm currently still in my healing process and everything is looking great! I have complete confidence in Dr. Goldberg and would highly recommend her to others, young or old, breast cancer or not.

In addition to her many gifts as a plastic surgeon and microsurgeon, Dr. Goldberg is also a top hand surgeon. Thanks to her, I still HAVE a right hand -- and didn't die from a (freak) staph infection that very easily could've become septic. I was seen by three "top" hand doctors. ONLY Dr. Goldberg correctly diagnosed a life-threatening infection. Her staff jumped into action and contacted her at the hospital between (her long day of) surgeries.She drove back to her BH office (at 6:00 pm!) to see me (a first-time patient), impressed upon me how serious this was, got me admitted to a hospital, found a way to get me onto a tight surgery rotation--and performed surgery on my hand and wrist within 24 hours of first contacting her. Her staff—and Vanessa in particular—deserve five stars for their competence, compassion and accessibility. Dr. Mytien Goldberg is truly a once in a lifetime medical professional: brilliant, skilled and a mighty advocate for her patients. I am so grateful to her. I'd give her ten stars if I could.

I am 65, and had my implants for almost 40 years. I needed to have them removed due to back pain, and searched for a surgeon that specialized in breast construction. I loved my Dr. Jewel that had put them in in 2007, but they no longer accepted insurance payments. Not only did Dr. Goldberg‘s office work with my insurance, but what an absolute great find. not only was she caring, but what an expert she really is. I did a lot of research, and read how happy she can make women that have so many different kind of problems. My experience was truly wonderful, and my results were fantastic! What a happy experience, shared not only with the doctor, but the lovely ladies in her office.

My experience with Dr. Goldberg and her staff was absolutely unmatched. They always went above and beyond to answer any questions/concerns I had. This was my 3rd breast augmentation due to the errors and complications of other surgeons. I had a pretty severe capsular contracture and double bubble. I was considering removing my implants for good until I had my consultation with Dr. Goldberg. She gave me the breasts that I had be dreaming about! I am 7 months post op and beyond happy with my results and so thankful for her and her entire team.

My name is Mary Guthrie, and I am a breast cancer survivor of 16 years. At the time I had bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Recently I was experiencing pain and hardening lumps in the surgical areas . I searched for a doctor experienced in this tile of reconstructive surgery and I was fortunate to find Dr. Mytien Goldberg. Immediately after we met I knew she was the right doctor for what I needed. She made me feel very comfortable and that I deserved the best. She took her time to explain the options available to me and we agreed on the best approach. We settled on replacement my prior saline implants with silicone gel also Galaflex and fat from my own body (small liposuction) The steps she took gave me much natural look and confidence. Surgery is a success.I Highly recommend Dr, Maytien Goldberg and her professional staff ! .They are amazing !!

After going to two different breast surgeons, I chose Dr Goldberg for my breast reduction surgery. Dr Goldberg has a thorough understanding of womens health and approached my case with knowledge and sensitivity so that she could help boost my self confidence and alleviate much of the pain my breasts were causing on my shoulders and back. Since my surgery I have started standing significantly straighter and I have been able to start wearing clothes I never thought I could. The recovery process was very easy. Very little pain for me and within 6 days I was back pretty much back to my regular activities. Dr. Goldberg also has the most magnificent assistants— Celine and Vanessa that answered all of my questions while I was in the office and out and made me feel very supported before and after my surgery. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Goldberg’s office!!

I was fortunate that my Nurse Practitioner read an article about peripheral nerve reconstruction and sent a referral for a consultation with Dr. Mytien Goldberg. Immediately upon meeting Dr. Goldberg, I felt at ease because she listened, understood, and provided me hope for relieving debilitating sensory nerve pain for the first time in over 4 years since my nerve injury. There are doctors and then THERE IS MYTIEN GOLDBERG, MD, truly a ONE of a KIND, not only SKILLED, TALENTED, & EXPERIENCED but also CARING when most of the other orthopedic surgeons just did not provide any hope. I am grateful every second I remember I have become sensory nerve pain-free thanks to Dr. Goldberg!!

My journey started with (2) amazing doctors Ali-Jones my cancer surgeon and Mytien Goldberg my breast reconstruction surgeon in '2020, I call them my Dream-Team. I opted for breast reconstruction Immediately after my surgery which meant a longer surgery time about 9 or 10 hours. But, I knew I was in good hands! Dr. Goldberg made me feel at ease explaining every detail about the procedure in professional and compassionate manner. she was in contact with Dr. Ali-Jones via text letting her know my progress as well as contacting my family after I came out of surgery. My journey will continue as I will have my final surgery this month. I Highly Recommend Dr Goldberg ;she is definitely 5 Star. Thanks, to you and your staff for making my journey a Pleasant Experience!!

Dr. Goldberg performed reconstructive surgery alongside my surgeon for my breast cancer treatment in 2020. Her staff was wonderful to work with, and made it a point to follow up with me after surgery just to see how I was feeling, even giving me their personal cell phone number in case I had any questions or concerns. My experience with Dr. Goldberg and her staff was wonderful from beginning to end, and I'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering her services!

The services that I have received from Dr. Goldberg are excellent. I have had the migraine for years. Dr. Goldberg has given me the Botox treatments which have resolved my headache migraine. The latest treatment that I received from Dr. Goldberg, was the Microneedling or so called “Vampire Facial!” I start noticing more vibrant, youthful skin within the first week: my skin tone tighter, even-toned, younger-looking skin! Not only Dr. Goldberg gave me the best treatment, she also follow up my health exam by face-time me daily for the first four days after the post procedure. Dr. Goldberg ensures that her patient is satisfied with the result of her treatment. It is difficult to find the best doctor, who has the combination of personal touch and delicate care/kindness for a patient as a person with the outstanding quality of surgical care. It is Dr. Goldberg, who has both these qualities. Dr. Goldberg and her staff are friendly, kind, and patient. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad that I choose her as my personal surgeon. I gave her expertise with the overall experience/treatments/kindness and her staff FIVE stars! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for a specialist!

Am I a Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Candidates for breast lift surgery are non-smoking women in good general health with realistic expectations for their results. Candidates often experienced one or more of the following conditions:

  • Drooping or sagging breasts
  • Breasts that have lost their shape
  • Enlarged areolas
  • A nipple-areola complex that points down
  • Asymmetrical breasts (additional breast surgery techniques may be required)

How Is a Breast Lift Performed?

What Is Discussed At My Consultation?

At your consultation, you and Dr. Goldberg will discuss your desires for the look and feel of your breasts. Dr. Goldberg will evaluate your breasts and decide if a breast lift is right for you.

If you are a candidate for breast lift surgery, then she will decide which type of anesthesia and which incision type she will use for your procedure. She will then address any questions or concerns that you may have about your lift and provide you with pre and postoperative instructions.

What Kind of Anesthesia Is Used for Breast Lift Surgery?

Depending on the extent of the procedure (including breast size and shape, amount of excess skin needing to be removed, and size and position of the areolas), either local anesthesia or general anesthesia will be used. Regardless of which anesthesia is used, you will not feel any pain during the surgery.

What Happens During My Breast Lift?

After the anesthesia has been administered, Dr. Goldberg will make an incision in the breast. She will lift and reshape the underlying breast tissue and reposition the nipple and areola. If necessary, she will reduce the size of the areola. Lastly, the incisions will be closed, and you will be ready to begin your recovery.

The procedure usually takes anywhere from two to three hours to complete.

Where Will My Breast Lift Incisions Be?

There are three different types of incisions that Dr. Goldberg uses for breast lift surgery:

  • Donut lift: Used for minimal sagging. The incision is made around the areola. This is the least effective lift technique as it provides minimal movement of the nipple-areola complex location in relation to the breast mound. Furthermore, the scar around the nipple tends to widen with time due to the tension around the nipple.
  • Lollipop lift: Used for moderate to severe sagging. The incision is made around the areola and extends down the lower pole of the breast, making it look like a lollipop. This is a much more effective lift technique. Dr. Goldberg often uses your own breast tissue to augment the upper pole and give fullness to the overall breast.
  • Anchor or inverted-T lift: Used for severe sagging and correction. The incision begins as a lollipop lift, but another incision is made across the inframammary fold (the breast crease) below the breast. This is a very effective breast lift. Dr. Goldberg minimizes the horizontal component of the scar, yielding less scars on your breast. Dr. Goldberg also uses your own breast tissue to augment the upper pole, a procedure called autoaugmentation, resulting in added fullness to your breast.

Here are illustrative cases of different breast lift.

What Is GalaFLEX® Surgical Scaffolding?

GalaFLEX® surgical scaffolding is a mesh material that is placed in the breast during a lift. This mesh acts as an internal bra by reinforcing the tissues. Breast lifts with GalaFLEX® tend to have longer-lasting results.

What Is Breast Lift Recovery Like?

After your procedure, you may have a tube temporarily placed to drain fluid and excess blood. You will have some soreness, swelling, and bruising in your breasts; however, these side effects should dissipate within two weeks, and medication can be taken to alleviate any postoperative discomfort.

You will need to refrain from strenuous activity for two weeks, but you should be able to return to work within one to two weeks of your surgery. It is normal to have some numbness in the area for up to six weeks. During that time, you will need to wear a compression garment to speed up recovery.

What Results Can I Expect From Breast Lift Surgery?

How Long Until I See My Results?

While you will have some swelling and bruising in the area, your results will be visible immediately after your procedure. However, it can take up to six weeks to see your final results.

Will There Be Any Scars?

Breast lift surgery requires incisions, which means that you will have scars. While a good portion of breast lift scars will be hidden in the breast contours around the areola and in the natural creases, there will be some visible scarring on the breast skin if a lollipop or anchor/inverted-T incision is used. These scars should fade over time.

Can a Breast Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Yes. While some women choose to have a breast lift as a standalone procedure, many combine their surgery with other procedures. Some of the most common combinations include a breast lift with implants (augmentation) and a breast reduction and lift. Combinations are performed when women wish to alter the size of their breasts as well.

One of the benefits of combining procedures is less overall recovery, as you will be recovering from multiple procedures at the same time.

How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?

As with all surgeries, breast lift cost varies by patient. The breast lift price depends on the extent of the correction, the type of anesthesia used, the incision technique needed, and whether the breast lift is combined with any other procedures. At your consultation, you will be provided with an accurate cost estimate.
