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.

Derrick Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Derrick and his staff have been incredibly kind and understanding of what my hopes and dreams were with my breast augmentation. They all cared so much and it made me feel like they were invested in this as much as I was. Dr. Derrick listened and heard me & at first, it was hard to just trust his judgment, but after surgery - there is a reason he is such a highly recommended surgeon. He was an absolute artist and created my masterpiece. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Derrick and his staff because they have been a wonderful and friendly family to have. The care before, during and after surgery is beyond better than someone just having a nice bedside manner to get you to spend money and that’s added to the fact that this has been money well spent!
I’d like to thank Dr.Derrick and the entire staff for such a great experience! I am a breast cancer survivor of 23 years. I had some reconstruction done and didn’t like the turnout so decided to talk to Dr. Derrick instead of going back to my old surgeon. He listened to my requests and executed my wants and needs! He made suggestions and I didn’t even know some of suggestions were possible. I trusted him and I am so extremely happy with the turnout and feel like I’m back to better implants. The staff are kind, caring and compassionate. You feel like family the minute you walk in! I would recommend them to anyone!
I first encountered Dr Derrick in a professional setting and liked how careful he was with his patients. When I discovered recently that one of my 17 year old breast implants had ruptured he came to my mind immediately. After doing a little more research and especially after the initial consultation with him and his staff I was totally comfortable moving forward with an implant exchange with him. I am obviously not nearly as young as was the first go around which is always a worry but everything turned out even better than I had hoped for. I am so so happy with my results. Even more, I really felt like Dr Derrick and his staff appreciated my choosing them and expressed that in the way they (Katie!) greeted us for appointments and and in how they continue to check on how I’m doing and are quick with responses to any questions that I may have. Highly recommend and will be a repeat customer if I ever need/want another procedure.
Excellent service thank you doctor plana for making me so beautiful I loved my surgery they have the best nurses also very kind thank you 🙏🏻
