Breast Lift
If you’re happy with the size of your breasts but desire a more youthful, lifted appearance, breast lift surgery could be the ideal solution. Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carey Nease, MD, and his skilled team at Nease Cosmetic Surgery proudly offer breast lift surgery in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas, including Alabama.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and perky appearance. This procedure addresses stretched skin, drooping, and unevenness caused by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations, creating a firmer, rejuvenated look.
During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is repositioned to enhance shape and contour. The areola may also be resized or repositioned for a more balanced, natural appearance. Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift focuses on improving position and firmness rather than increasing size, although it can be combined with implants for enhanced volume.
For those considering a breast lift in Chattanooga, TN, or the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease combines advanced surgical techniques with an artistic approach to deliver stunning, natural-looking results.

Types of Breast Lifts
Which Breast Lift Procedure Is Right for You?
Crescent
Lift
The crescent lift is ideal for patients with minor sagging who want a subtle enhancement. A small, crescent-shaped incision is made along the upper edge of the areola, allowing for a discreet lift with minimal scarring. This technique is often combined with breast augmentation for optimal results.
Vertical (Lollipop) Lift
The lollipop lift is a popular choice for patients with moderate sagging. This method involves an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. It provides significant reshaping and lifting while keeping scars minimal and well-hidden.
Combination
Lift
A combination lift is perfect for patients seeking both enhanced volume and lift. By integrating a breast lift with implants, this technique restores youthful perkiness while increasing size, creating balanced, natural results.

Breast Lift Recovery & Aftercare
Proper recovery and aftercare are essential to achieving the best results from your breast lift surgery in Tennessee or Alabama. Following your plastic surgeon’s guidance will help ensure a smooth healing process and long-lasting outcomes. Here are six key tips to keep in mind:
1
Wear Your Support Garment
A surgical bra or compression garment provides necessary support, reduces swelling, and promotes proper healing.
2
Avoid Strenuous Activities
Refrain from heavy lifting or rigorous exercise for at least 4-6 weeks to avoid straining the healing tissues.
3
Sleep on Your Back
Sleeping on your back with your upper body slightly elevated helps minimize swelling and ensures the best positioning for your results.
4
Keep Incisions Clean and Dry
Follow your surgeon’s instructions for cleaning and caring for your incision sites to reduce infection risk and promote healing.
5
Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutritious Foods
Proper hydration and a balanced diet rich in proteins and vitamins support tissue repair and overall recovery.
6
Attend Follow-Up Appointments
Regular check-ins with your surgeon ensure your healing is progressing as expected and allow for any concerns to be addressed promptly.
With patience and proper care, you’ll begin to see the full benefits of your breast lift within weeks. If you’re considering a breast lift in Chattanooga, TN, or the surrounding areas, Dr. Carey Nease and his expert team are here to guide you every step of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost in Chattanooga TN?
In most cases, a breast lift without implants will average $7,500+ at Nease Cosmetic Surgery. If you will be having implants put in place, the average cost is about $11,000. Breast lift costs fluctuate, largely depending on whether or not implants are to be inserted. Costs for your specific situation will be determined during your initial consultation and the doctor will be able to give you a more exact amount.

It’s important to check with your insurance provider to find out which procedures they do or do not consider eligible for coverage. At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, we try to keep patient procedures as affordable as possible. We’re happy to offer complimentary consultations as well as payment options, including cash, major credit cards, and financing through CareCredit® or Cherry®.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
If you’re a healthy adult woman and your nipples point downward, or your breasts can be described as saggy or droopy, chances are you’re a good candidate for breast lift surgery. Most ideal candidates are non-smokers and are able to maintain their weight at a healthy, stable level.
What is Breast Lift Recovery Like?
There will likely be pain and some soreness following a breast lift, as your breasts will be bruised and swollen for a couple of weeks. You’ll want to avoid lifting, bending or straining and it’s best to sleep on your side or back so as not to put pressure on the breasts during the night.
You may be asked to wear a surgical bra for support around the clock for a few days, after which time you can switch to a softer support bra for several weeks. For best results during recovery, your surgeon will provide you with specific post-op instructions which should be followed closely.
