If you’re considering a way to restore volume and lift to your breasts, you’re not alone. Many women in Franklin, Tennessee, and the surrounding Nashville area seek breast lift with implants to address the effects of aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or simply to enhance their natural beauty. This dual procedure combines the lifting benefits of a breast lift (mastopexy) with the volumizing effects of breast augmentation to create fuller, more youthful-looking breasts.
At the practice of Franklinplastic surgeon Dr. Natasha Luckey, we understand that your breasts are deeply personal. That’s why we approach every breast lift with implants procedure with individualized care, clinical precision, and a commitment to natural-looking results that enhance your unique body proportions.
Dr. Natasha Nicole Luckey is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with over 15 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Her expertise, combined with her compassionate approach to patient care, has made her a trusted choice for women throughout Franklin, Williamson County, and the greater Nashville area.
Dr. Luckey earned her Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from the University of South Florida College of Medicine in 2007. Prior to medical school, she worked as a registered nurse, giving her a unique perspective on patient care and clinical excellence.
Following medical school, Dr. Luckey completed a rigorous 5-year integrated plastic surgery residency at the University of Southern Illinois Affiliated Hospitals (2007-2012). This comprehensive training included extensive experience in:
Her residency training at a major academic medical center provided her with exposure to complex cases and advanced surgical techniques, preparing her to handle both routine and challenging breast surgery cases.
Need to put something in all of these about fellowship training. Noticed it just spoke to residency and not fellowship.
Dr. Luckey maintains active privileges at leading medical facilities in the Nashville area:
Both facilities are accredited by The Joint Commission and equipped with state-of-the-art surgical technology, ensuring the highest standards of patient safety and surgical excellence.
With over 15 years of medical experience and a specialized focus on breast and body contouring procedures, Dr. Luckey has developed expertise in:
Dr. Luckey’s approach to each patient is individualized, taking into account their unique anatomy, aesthetic goals, and medical history to create natural-looking results that enhance confidence and body image.
A breast lift with implants, also known as augmentation-mastopexy or mastopexy-augmentation, is a comprehensive surgical procedure that addresses two common concerns simultaneously: sagging breasts and loss of volume. Unlike a breast lift alone, which reshapes existing tissue without adding volume, or breast augmentation alone, which adds volume without correcting sagging, this combined approach delivers both benefits in a single surgery.1
During the procedure, Dr. Luckey removes excess skin to lift the breast tissue and repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position. At the same time, silicone or saline breast implants are placed to restore lost volume and enhance breast size and shape. The result is breasts that are not only fuller but also properly elevated and contoured.
As one patient shared: “I wanted my breasts to look like they did before pregnancy, but fuller. Dr. Luckey gave me exactly that—natural-looking results that make me feel confident again.”
You may be an ideal candidate for breast lift with implants if you:
Many women in Franklin and the surrounding Williamson County area choose this procedure as part of a mommy makeover, combining breast lift with implants with other body contouring procedures like tummy tuck or liposuction to restore their pre-pregnancy body.
This dual procedure offers multiple advantages over having either surgery alone:
Breast implants add the volume that may have been lost due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. Whether you choose silicone or saline implants, you’ll achieve the fuller breast appearance you desire.
The mastopexy component lifts sagging tissue and repositions the nipple-areola complex higher on the chest, creating a more youthful silhouette. This elevation is particularly important for women with moderate to severe sagging, where implants alone cannot achieve adequate lift.
By combining lifting with augmentation, Dr. Luckey can create a more aesthetically pleasing breast shape with better projection and symmetry. This is especially valuable for women with breast asymmetries or uneven tissue distribution.
Fuller, lifted breasts can improve overall body balance and proportions, particularly for women with smaller frames or those who have experienced significant weight loss.
Many patients report a significant boost in confidence and body image satisfaction following breast lift with implants. The procedure allows you to feel comfortable in clothing, swimwear, and intimate situations.
Rather than undergoing two separate surgeries with two recovery periods, combining these procedures means one surgery, one anesthesia experience, and one recovery timeline—saving time and reducing overall surgical risk.
Dr. Luckey uses several surgical techniques for breast lift with implants, each chosen based on your specific anatomy, degree of sagging, and desired outcomes. The goal is always to achieve natural-looking results while minimizing visible scarring.
This technique is ideal for women with significant sagging (moderate to severe ptosis). The incision pattern resembles an anchor, with an incision around the areola, a vertical line down the breast, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. This approach allows maximum tissue repositioning and is often combined with implant placement for optimal results.
For mild to moderate sagging, the vertical incision technique uses an incision around the areola and a vertical line down to the breast crease. This approach provides good lifting capability with less scarring than the anchor technique.
When sagging is minimal, Dr. Luckey may use an incision around the areola only. This technique works best when combined with implants that provide additional lift and support.
Implants can be placed either:
Dr. Luckey will discuss which technique and implant placement is best suited to your goals during your consultation in Franklin.
Dr. Luckey offers both silicone and saline breast implants, each with distinct advantages:
Silicone Implants:
Saline Implants:
During your consultation, Dr. Luckey will discuss which implant type is best suited to your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and preferences.
Understanding what to expect during your surgery can help you feel more prepared and confident.
You’ll meet with Dr. Luckey to discuss your goals, review before-and-after photos, and plan your procedure. You’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidelines about eating, drinking, medications, and smoking cessation. Most patients schedule their surgery on an outpatient basis at a surgical facility affiliated with Williamson Medical Center or TriStar Centennial Medical Center.
The procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of your case and whether additional procedures (such as liposuction) are performed. You’ll receive general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Dr. Luckey will make the planned incisions, remove excess skin, reposition breast tissue and the nipple-areola complex, place the implants, and close the incisions with sutures.
You’ll spend time in the recovery room as anesthesia wears off. You may experience grogginess, mild discomfort, and temporary numbness. Most patients go home the same day with a responsible adult to drive them and provide initial care.
Recovery is a gradual process, and understanding the timeline helps you plan accordingly and set realistic expectations.
If you plan to breastfeed in the future, discuss this with Dr. Luckey during your consultation. While breast lift with implants doesn’t always prevent breastfeeding, the procedure may affect milk production or sensation.2 Dr. Luckey uses techniques designed to preserve milk ducts and nerves whenever possible. The periareolar incision technique, in particular, helps minimize disruption to the milk ducts and sensory nerves.
Implant Longevity and Revision Surgery:
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. According to the FDA, the average lifespan of breast implants is 10-15 years, though many last longer. Some patients may need revision surgery to:
This is an important consideration when planning your procedure. Dr. Luckey will discuss the long-term implications of breast implants during your consultation.
Realistic Expectations:
Results continue to improve for several months as swelling resolves. Final results are typically visible by 3-6 months post-operatively. It’s important to have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve and to understand that results vary based on individual anatomy and healing. Factors that influence results include:
One of Dr. Luckey’s core commitments is creating natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without appearing overdone or artificial. This means:
During your consultation, Dr. Luckey will show you before-and-after photos of actual patients from her practice in Franklin to help you visualize realistic outcomes. She’ll also discuss implant size, shape, and material options to ensure your choices align with your aesthetic goals and body proportions.
Many patients choose to combine breast lift with implants with other body contouring procedures for comprehensive results. Popular combinations include:
Breast Lift with Implants + Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
This combination, often called a “mommy makeover,” addresses both the breasts and abdomen in a single surgery. It’s ideal for women who have experienced pregnancy-related changes to both areas. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, while the breast lift with implants restores volume and elevation to the breasts. Combined procedure time is typically 4-5 hours. The webpage is finalized and ready for publication.
Breast Lift with Implants + Liposuction
Adding liposuction to your procedure can enhance body contours by removing excess fat from areas like the flanks, abdomen, or back, creating a more sculpted silhouette. This combination is popular among patients seeking comprehensive body contouring.
Breast Lift with Implants + Arm Lift or Thigh Lift
For comprehensive body contouring after significant weight loss, combining breast surgery with other a thigh lift or arm lift can address multiple areas of concern in a single recovery period.
Combining procedures can be more efficient than having separate surgeries, though it does extend operative time and recovery. Dr. Luckey will discuss which combinations are appropriate for your goals and anatomy during your consultation.
As with any surgical procedure, breast lift with implants carries potential risks. Dr. Luckey believes in transparent communication about these risks so you can make an informed decision.
Major complication rates for breast augmentation combined with lift are low. Potential complications include:
The cost of breast lift with implants varies based on factors including the complexity of your case, implant selection, facility fees, and anesthesia. s
During your consultation at our Franklin office, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate. Many patients explore financing options to make the procedure more affordable.
While breast lift with implants does result in scars, Dr. Luckey uses techniques to minimize their visibility. Scars are typically placed along natural breast creases or around the areola, where they’re less noticeable. Over time (12-18 months), scars fade significantly and become much less apparent. Proper post-operative care, including sun protection and scar management, helps optimize healing.

Breast lift with implants may affect breastfeeding ability, though it doesn’t always.3 The procedure involves repositioning breast tissue and potentially affecting milk ducts and nerves. Dr. Luckey uses techniques designed to preserve these structures whenever possible. If breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this during your consultation so Dr. Luckey can plan your surgery accordingly.
According to FDA data on breast implants, the average lifespan of breast implants is 10-15 years, though many last longer. Some patients may need revision surgery to replace implants, address changes in appearance, or correct complications. It’s important to understand that implants are not lifetime devices and may require replacement or removal in the future.4
