Breast Reduction
Struggling with back pain, self-conscious about the size of your breasts, or finding it hard to wear clothes that fit comfortably? A breast reduction in Chattanooga, TN, with triple board-certified Dr. Carey Nease, MD, could be the solution to enhance your confidence and comfort.
What is a Breast Reduction?
A breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportionate breast size and alleviate physical discomfort. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing issues such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts.
During a breast reduction, excess tissue and fat are carefully removed, and the breasts are reshaped to create a more balanced, natural appearance. The procedure often involves repositioning the nipples and areolas for optimal symmetry. Breast reduction not only enhances physical comfort but also improves posture, boosts confidence, and allows patients to enjoy a more active lifestyle.
For those considering a breast reduction in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized care to deliver transformative, lasting results.

Because You Deserve Comfort, Confidence, and Balance
Anchor (Inverted-T)
Breast Reduction
For patients with significant sagging or larger breasts, the anchor method provides dramatic reshaping and reduction. This technique uses incisions around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease for comprehensive results.
Vertical (Lollipop) Breast Reduction
Ideal for moderate breast size and sagging, the lollipop reduction involves an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This technique lifts and reshapes the breast with minimal scarring, delivering natural-looking results.

Perfect for those with minimal sagging and fatty breast tissue, this minimally invasive option uses liposuction to reduce breast size without extensive scarring or downtime, focusing on subtle but impactful results.

By following your plastic surgeon’s guidance, you can ensure a smooth healing process and long-lasting, satisfying outcomes. Here are six essential tips to keep in mind:

Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutritious Foods
Proper hydration and a balanced diet rich in vitamins and protein support tissue repair and overall recovery.
