Breast Surgery

Dr Chad Robbins offers a comprehensive breast surgery menu including augmentation with implants, breast lift, breast reduction, implant removal, implant exchange, capsular contracture repair, breast reconstruction, and gynecomastia correction. All procedures are performed at accredited Nashville surgical facilities. Mommy Makeover packages combine breast surgery with tummy tuck or liposuction in a single anaesthetic event. Dr Robbins' dual board certification and Mayo Clinic training underpin a technically rigorous approach to both cosmetic and reconstructive breast cases.

Breast surgery at Robbins Plastic Surgery in Nashville encompasses the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive breast procedures performed by Dr Chad Robbins, a dual board-certified Mayo Clinic-trained plastic surgeon with extensive experience in both aesthetic enhancement and medically indicated reconstruction. Breast augmentation uses either saline or silicone implants with incision placement (inframammary, periareolar, or transaxillary), implant pocket location (submuscular or subglandular), and implant profile selected collaboratively with the patient at consultation based on existing breast dimensions, chest wall anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Breast lift (mastopexy) addresses ptosis — the drooping and descent of breast tissue and the nipple-areola complex that occurs following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss — using incision patterns scaled to the degree of ptosis, from a periareolar incision for mild cases to a full anchor-pattern incision for severe descent. Augmentation mastopexy combines implant placement with lift surgery for patients seeking both volume and improved shape. Breast reduction relieves macromastia-related physical symptoms including neck and back pain, shoulder grooving, intertrigo, and postural discomfort, removing glandular tissue and skin in excess of the desired volume while repositioning the nipple-areola complex and reshaping the breast mound. For patients with breast implants from prior surgery, Dr Robbins performs implant exchange, implant removal with or without simultaneous lift, and capsular contracture repair — including total capsulectomy where indicated. Breast reconstruction following oncological surgery is available using either implant-based techniques or autologous methods including the TRAM flap. Gynecomastia correction addresses benign male breast enlargement through excision of glandular tissue, liposuction of fatty excess, or a combination. Nashville patients undergoing breast surgery have access to accredited facilities at Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital and Centennial Medical Center.
