Breast Lift in Plano, TX
What is a Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery can produce a firmer, younger appearance by recontouring the breasts, removing loose skin, and pulling the remaining tissue tight. This body contouring surgery is reserved for women who have lost breast fullness and shape and who have breast sagging due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Dr. Chase Derrick, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Plano, TX, offers this procedure at Derrick Plastic Surgery. By using the latest methods, Dr. Derrick can choose the proper technique, depending on the level of sag present, in addition to the desired aesthetic goal.
How Is A Breast Lift Performed?
Breast lift surgery takes usually two hours or more and is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia. The duration of this treatment is dependent on the severity of breast sag. The method used for mastopexy surgery generally falls within two categories — the technique is defined by the location and type of the incision. The inverted-T (known as an anchor) and the vertical incisions are the most used methods. After making the incision, any loose, unhealthy skin is removed along with fat and tissue that is not needed. The skin is then pulled tight and the breasts are positioned higher and lifted so they appear healthy. In many cases, the size and shape of the areola are reconstructed and reduced to be symmetric with the new placement and shape of the breast. At this point, an implant can be inserted inside the breast if this was agreed upon with Dr. Derrick prior to surgery. If the lift is the only procedure being performed and if size and shape are a worry, augmentation surgery with implants can be done at a different date.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars
As a 1st grade teacher facing urgent medical circumstances, I needed a surgeon who could handle complex procedures quickly and expertly. Dr. Derrick not only met this challenge but exceeded every expectation I had. The combination of abdominoplasty, muscle repair, liposuction, alongside a very large hernia repair was no small feat, yet the results are absolutely incredible.
Due to my circumstances, timing was everything. Dr. Derrick understood the urgency and had me scheduled for surgery within just two weeks of our consultation. This rapid response, without any compromise in thoroughness or preparation, speaks volumes about the efficiency and dedication of this practice. Despite the quick turnaround, I never felt rushed or that any detail was overlooked.
From the initial consultation through recovery, the entire team made me feel comfortable and well-informed. Dr. Derrick took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, set realistic expectations, and address all my concerns with patience and professionalism. The pre-operative planning was meticulous, and it showed in the final results.
As a 1st grade teacher, I was incredibly concerned about recovery time and getting back to my classroom full of energetic six-year-olds and seven-year-olds. Dr. Derrick’s surgical technique and post-operative care plan were so effective that I was back to work in just three weeks! This recovery timeline seemed impossible given the extent of the procedures, but the combination of expert surgical skill and comprehensive aftercare made it happen. I felt strong enough to handle my teaching duties and even had the energy to keep up with my students.
The transformation has been absolutely incredible. The hernia repair resolved painful symptoms I’d been living with, while the muscle repair restored my core strength completely. The abdominoplasty and liposuction results are stunning – I look and feel better than I have in years. Being able to stand confidently in front of my classroom, move freely without discomfort, and feel strong and healthy again has been life-changing. My students even commented that I seemed happier and more energetic!
From the urgent initial consultation through my remarkably fast recovery, every interaction with Dr. Derrick and the team was professional, compassionate, and thorough. Despite the time pressure, nothing was rushed in terms of explaining procedures, setting expectations, or providing post-operative care. The communication was excellent, and I always felt like a priority patient.
I would recommend Dr. Derrick without hesitation, especially for patients needing multiple procedures or facing time-sensitive situations. The ability to handle such complex surgery with precision while accommodating urgent scheduling needs demonstrates exceptional skill and dedication. For anyone considering similar procedures, particularly those in demanding professions like teaching, you couldn’t be in better hands.
