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.

This has been an amazing experience from the staff to Dr.Derrick. I felt so comfortable and at ease in my consultation with Dr. Derrick and how thorough he was in explaining the process that I locked in my appointment the same day, I didn’t want to look any further. Before and after the procedure they are very attentive and check in almost daily. If I had to do it all over again definitely choosing Dr. Derrick!!!
Dr. Derrick, Katie, Maggie, and Lola🐶 have provided an outstanding experience throughout my entire journey. From the initial consultation to pre-op discussions, the surgery itself, and all follow-up appointments, everything has been exceptional. I underwent a lower face and neck lift with fat grafting, with very little pain and a remarkably smooth recovery. While full healing takes about six months, I’m already thrilled with the results just four weeks after the surgery. During the first two weeks post-surgery, Katie was in touch almost daily, checking in on my well-being and addressing any questions or concerns I had. Dr. D is truly an artist! I would definitely recommend Dr. D and his team for any cosmetic surgeries, procedures, or injectables. You will be more than satisfied!
