Changes to the breast occur throughout life due to many factors including weight and hormone variations, pregnancy, genetics, natural aging, and the effects of gravity. Some women choose to have breast surgery to enhance and restore a more youthful appearing breast. The best option for your breast surgery in Nashville can include a breast lift, reduction, augmentation, reconstruction, or combination of these procedures.
To achieve the best cosmetic outcome, sometimes combination breast surgery, such as an augmentation with a lift, is indicated. The best approach starts with a consultation with your qualified plastic surgeon. At that meeting, you will discuss your current breast concerns and develop a plan to achieve your breast goals. Contact our office to schedule an initial consultation where you can hear more about your procedure options and possible enhancements in-depth.
The most common breast surgeries in Nashville can alter breast shape, size, and volume with various techniques.
The additional weight of naturally large breasts can result in chronic neck and upper back pain. Certain physical and wardrobe limitations due to breast size can negatively affect self-image and confidence. A breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, skin, and fat allowing the breast to be lifted and reshaped. Many concerns can be addressed with a breast reduction–a wide breast can be made narrower with the use of liposuction, as well as reduction of areola size and nipple repositioning to the most projecting part of the breast.
A breast augmentation can be the ideal procedure to increase breast size and projection with implants or fat transfer. Significant breast asymmetries can be addressed during a breast augmentation by using different implant shapes or volumes. Breast enhancement with either implants or fat transfer depends on the tissue-based planning between you and your plastic surgeon.
The goal of breast lift surgery is to remove loose skin, maintain the natural breast volume and elevate the nipple position. The procedure reshapes and tightens the skin envelope around your natural breast tissue to reduce further sagging and enhance breast contours. The procedure can be performed in combination with other breast surgeries like an augmentation.
Breast cancer surgery often requires removal of the entire breast. The goal of breast reconstruction surgery after cancer is to restore the normal appearance in clothing. A variety of breast reconstruction techniques can recreate the breast mound with implants or your own tissues (autologous breast reconstruction). If necessary, the surgery could include nipple and areola reconstruction, typically including tattooing and fat transfer methods either in combination or alone.
One of the primary considerations for optimal timing of breast surgery is your current life stage. Ideally, breast surgery should be delayed until development is complete. Hormone changes, often occurring with puberty, pregnancy, weight fluctuation, can significantly affect the breast tissue. Long-lasting results are more likely to be achieved when hormone and weight changes are stable.
Several factors like age, health, weight, and hormones can influence the volume, shape, and size of your breast tissue. As a result, many women choose to enhance their breasts with one or more breast surgery procedures.
