In Dr. Garrett A. Wirth's own words

How Dr. Garrett A. Wirth describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • We tend to be a little bit more on the side of we want to sneak up on your friends and family. Let them notice that you're looking more refreshed, looking better, but not understand exactly why
  • The idea that somebody knows exactly how much filler they need or want on an initial consultation is really a fallacy in my opinion
  • I think that if you are having symptoms of breast implant illness and you are going down the road of removing the implants, every opportunity to remove as much or ideally all of the capsule should be part of that treatment program

Specialization

  • Specializes in The 24 Hour Recovery Breast Augmentation

Technique

  • I happen to have a preference for something called dual plane or partially below the muscle, and this can be done below the muscle, and it can also be done as a dual plane below the fascia
  • A little bit of filler here, a little bit of filler there until we achieve your goals and results and then a maintenance program that fits you

Training & credentials

  • Dr. Garrett A. Wirth is a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Consultation

  • I have locations both Long Beach and Newport Beach for full consultations and discussions on the topic of breast implant illness
  • It's best determined after a fairly long discussion as to what your goals and objectives are as well as which filler is going to be utilized in which area and what's the overall goal

Safety

  • And I take your care and your safety to the highest level of responsibility in terms of how I would care for you

Results

  • When a woman tells me her life has changed, that she wants to go out into the world more, and starts each day in a more positive mood – that’s my joy
  • Dr. Garrett Wirth's experience suggests that patients who came to him with breast implant illness concerns and received treatment such as removal of the implant with capsulectomy showed an improvement percentage above what he would have expected from a placebo effect.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Garrett A. Wirth

Sourced directly from Dr. Garrett A. Wirth's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Wirth's philosophy on filler treatment?
Dr. Wirth emphasizes that the appropriate amount of filler is not a universal standard. The correct amount is determined by an individual's anatomy, the specific area being treated, their aesthetic goals, and the desired outcome. The primary objective is to select the most suitable treatment plan for the individual patient, whether that means a subtle enhancement or a different approach to achieve balance or restore lost volume.
How does Dr. Wirth address concerns about Breast Implant Illness (BII)?
Dr. Wirth acknowledges Breast Implant Illness (BII) as a term describing symptoms some patients report with breast implants. He believes every patient’s concerns deserve to be heard and evaluated individually. Patient education and informed decision-making are important parts of every consultation. Patients with existing implants experiencing concerns, or those considering augmentation, are encouraged to have an open conversation with him about their health, goals, and options.
What is a pocket exchange in breast implant revision surgery?
A pocket exchange is a procedure that adjusts or changes the space where a breast implant sits. Dr. Wirth utilizes it in breast implant revision surgery to address concerns such as implant position, asymmetry, or changes that have occurred over time, always creating a surgical plan tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
What is Dr. Wirth's approach to breast implant placement?
Dr. Wirth emphasizes that breast implant placement involves many considerations, with the optimal approach varying based on a patient's anatomy, implant choice, and aesthetic goals. His thought process aims to create beautiful, natural-looking results. He offers personalized consultations for breast augmentation to help patients understand the best approach for them.
What can patients expect one year after breast augmentation?
At the one-year mark following breast augmentation, the implants have settled, and the final shape, position, and overall proportions have evolved throughout the healing process, allowing for full appreciation of the results.
What is gel cohesivity in breast implants?
Gel cohesivity describes how the silicone gel in implants holds together. Dr. Wirth highlights it as one of the biggest advancements in breast implants, as it can significantly influence the look and feel of an implant. Personalized consultations are available to help patients determine the best implant fit for their body, goals, and desired result, considering factors like gel cohesivity.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$39,494

Payments

57

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Garrett A. Wirth received $39,494 across 57 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Solventum Corporation.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
