Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Nashville, TN | Green Hills Plastic Surgery, Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Nashville

More than 90,000 breast lifts are performed annually in the United States. Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape breasts, addressing sagginess and restoring a more youthful appearance.

Why Women Choose Breast Lift Surgery

Nashville patients seek breast lift procedures for various reasons, including:

• Improving breast positioning and symmetry
• Eliminating skin irritation and chafing
• Enhancing clothing and swimwear fit
• Addressing nipple positioning
• Alleviating back and neck discomfort

Breast Lift Techniques

Dr. Davis offers four customized breast lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Crescent Breast Lift: Minimal sagging correction
• Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift: Subtle reshaping
• Vertical Breast Lift: Moderate sagging correction
• Anchor Breast Lift: Significant breast reshaping

Surgical Procedure Details

The breast lift surgery is performed at The Atrium, a specialized operating facility at Centennial Hospital. The procedure typically takes approximately two hours under general anesthesia, with most patients returning home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period involving initial swelling and discomfort. Most individuals can return to light activities within one week and resume normal routines around six weeks post-surgery. Complete healing and final results may take up to six months.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal breast lift candidates are individuals who have completed childbearing and are no longer breastfeeding. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Cost Considerations

The average breast lift cost is approximately $5,000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Actual expenses may vary based on individual surgical requirements and additional associated fees.

Preparation Guidelines

• Cease smoking at least 4 weeks prior to surgery
• Adopt a nutrition-focused diet to support healing
• Discontinue blood-thinning medications
• Follow pre-surgical fasting instructions
