Breast Lift Plastic Surgery (Mastopexy)  Nashville, Tennessee

You can have the breasts of your youth—or achieve the perky breast you’ve always desired—through a breast lift plastic surgery procedure. Gravity, genetics, pregnancy, breast feeding, weight fluctuation, and aging can cause your breasts to sag and lose their shape. But a breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes your breasts. You will have lifted, more shapely, natural breasts as a direct result of breast lift surgery. And lifted, shapely breasts compliment any figure!

After a breast lift procedure with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. DeLozier or Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. Robbins, you can expect firmer, more youthful-looking breasts.

Your Individual Goals

Nashville plastic surgeon Dr. DeLozier or Dr. Robbins will discuss your breast lift cosmetic surgery goals with you realistically. Breast lifts in Nashville are often performed in conjunction with breast augmentation (breast enlargement) surgery. You and your surgeon will discuss all the options. Together you will decide which procedures your surgeon will perform in order to achieve your desired results.

About Breast Lift Plastic Surgery in Nashville

Our surgeons’ experience and skill in mastopexy surgery means that your breast lift surgery in Nashville can usually be complete in 1½ hours. For your safety and comfort, you will be under general anesthesia and asleep during the procedure. Through new techniques, it is often possible to eliminate or significantly shorten your scar.

At DeLozier Robbins Plastic Surgery in Nashville, we offer three options for surgical incisions for your breast lift procedure:

Full - Your surgeon makes an incision around the areola and vertically, down from the breast crease, and horizontally, along the breast crease. (much like an anchor shaped incision)
No Vertical Scar - Your surgeon removes excess skin from the breast and is able to achieve the same aesthetic results without the appearance of a vertical scar.
Benelli- Your surgeon makes a circular incision around the areola to remove excess skin.

Our surgeons commonly place an implant at the same time when performing a breast lift. This is typically done to increase fullness at the top of the breast due to loss of volume from pregnancy, or other factors.

Mastopexy in Nashville Recovery

Following breast lift surgery in Nashville, you will wear gauze and a surgical bra. Swelling and bruising subsides within a few days, and a softer support bra can be worn as you continue healing. At first, the swelling may make the breasts look a little flat. This is not permanent and your shape will become evident as the swelling subsides. Your nipples may be numb for a few weeks. In rare cases this condition is permanent. You should avoid exercise for a month or so. There are scars from the breast lift surgery, like any surgical procedure,  which fade with time.

Results

Many women feel renewed and more confident after a mastopexy procedure. You will have lifted, more shapely, natural breasts as a direct result of breast lift surgery. This means that your clothing will fit differently. You may choose to wear styles and fabrics that you had always avoided—because you didn’t think you looked good in them. Having the breasts of your youth or the breasts of your dreams can give you personal feelings of joy and self-assurance that no push-up or rigid underwire bra can offer.
