Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, raises and firms breasts by removing surplus skin and tightening the surrounding breast tissue to reshape and support the breasts.

A breast lift raises sagging breasts and repositions the underlying breast tissue to restore round, perky, youthful-looking breasts. Excess skin will also be removed to create the look of tighter, smoother skin. Women of all ages who are unhappy with the look of their breasts can benefit from a breast lift in Nashville, TN with our expert cosmetic surgeons.

A breast lift with implants combines a breast lift procedure (breast lift mastopexy) with breast augmentation, making it ideal for patients who desire fuller, larger breasts while also correcting breasts that sag due to pregnancy and weight changes, weight fluctuations, significant weight loss, or aging. During breast lift surgery, the plastic surgeon reshapes the breast tissue, removes excess skin, and places breast implants to enhance the breast profile and create a more youthful breast contour.

A breast lift without implants focuses on reshaping the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue without increasing breast size. This option is well-suited for women satisfied with their current breast size but troubled by loose skin, uneven shape, or nipples that point downward. Using techniques such as a lollipop lift or anchor-shaped incision, we elevate the breast mound and improve the breast contour while preserving nipple sensation whenever possible.

If you have experienced loss of volume in the upper portion of your breasts due to breastfeeding, aging, or any other factor, you may be a good candidate for a breast lift. Patients commonly receive breast lift surgery to:

• Restore a youthful breast contour after natural aging or pregnancy
• Enhance the breast shape and remove loose skin after weight loss
• Correct drooping breasts
• Improve the appearance of nipples that point down

Some patients decide to have breast implants inserted at the same time as their breast lift surgery for a combined breast augmentation with lift. This can beneficial for patients with a small amount of existing breast tissue who want to increase the size of the breasts. Patients with excess breast tissue can benefit from a breast reduction combined with their breast lift surgery.

It’s important that patients understand all of the breast lift procedure details to fully prepare for surgery and recovery. At your consultation with our board-certified cosmetic surgeon, she will assess your medical history and discuss your surgical goals to determine if a breast lift is right for you. Breast lift cost can also be discussed in detail based on the specifics of your cosmetic procedure.

Before any cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures, it’s important that patients be in good overall health. Smoking and the use of blood-thinning medications or herbal supplements must be stopped six weeks before surgery to prevent excessive bleeding and other complications.

Breast lifts are performed under monitored anesthesia care with local anesthetic medicine here in all of our surgery centers. Our board-certified surgeon will make an incision to tighten the breast skin and raise the height of the nipple, restoring your breast to a more youthful and perky position. The surgical technique hides scarring around the nipple and in the breast crease or lower breast fold. A vertical incision extended from the areola to the bottom of the breast may be needed, depending on the breast size and amount of lifting needed to get the best possible results. The entire surgical procedure lasts about three hours.

Our doctors have performed many breast lift procedures for patients throughout the Nashville and Middle Tennessee areas as well as Hopkinsville, KY.

Following breast surgery, most patients report mild to moderate pain, which can be managed with pain medication, ice or heat and plenty of rest. Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure so that you will return home the same day. Patients can return to work and light daily activities after one week, light exercises like walking after two to three weeks, and more strenuous exercise after eight weeks. During your recovery, wear a soft, wireless sports bra to support your healing breasts and improve your comfort.
