Understanding Breast Lift Procedures in Knoxville

Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, gravity, and aging can cause breast sagging. A breast lift offers a surgical solution to restore a perkier, more youthful breast appearance for women in the Knoxville area.

Breast Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for a breast lift may experience:

  • Sagging breasts
  • Flattened or elongated breast appearance
  • Nipples falling below the breast crease

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Dean Kleto offers three primary incision options for breast lift procedures:

  • Periareolar – Incision around the entire areola
  • Lollipop – Incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease
  • Anchor – Comprehensive incision including lollipop pattern with additional breast crease incision

Procedure Details

During a breast lift, Dr. Kleto will:

  • Remove excess skin
  • Tighten remaining skin
  • Reshape breast mound
  • Reposition nipple and areola

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with patients returning to work approximately one week after surgery. Full activity resumption may take up to a month.

Potential Benefits

  • Elimination of breast sagging
  • Firmer, more shapely breasts
  • Reduced and refined areolas
  • Improved nipple positioning

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Kleto may recommend breast augmentation in conjunction with a breast lift to enhance overall breast appearance and address volume loss.

Dr. Kleto did my breast augmentation. At the consultation he said that I would need the teardrop implants along with a breast lift and that he would make my areolas normal size. I expressed concern with being able to breast feed when I had a child and asked if any of these procedures would affect that. He assured me it wouldn’t. (Should have done my own research, but I listened because he’s the Dr.) After having my bandages removed, my implants were round and both were completely misshapen. He did do another surgery, still keeping the round implants, because he said that he never told me he was going to use the teardrop implants. Even though I had another person with me and could back me on him saying so. He did not fix my areolas either surgery. My breasts still looked horrible after the second surgery. He never took after photos. That’s when you know they know they’ve done a poor job! They do not want records of a bad breast aug. Also, I was NOT able to breastfeed. During a lift, they remove the nipple, and they cannot place it back correctly with the milk glands. He lied from the start. I would not recommend him!

Dr Kleto did an amazing surgery for me after I lost a significant amount of weight. He was great to work with and I highly recommend him.

I had breast augmentation 28 years ago by Dr Kleto. He did a wonderful job back then and I loved his personality. When I decided it was time (way past time) to have a breast lift with implant exchange I had no doubt who I wanted to do my surgery. He is the same person as he was 28 years ago. He has done a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier with my results. It has been two weeks and I feel great. I have had no problems and can't wait to see the final results after all the healing. Thank you Dr Kleto and staff for such a wonderful experience this time around.

Dr. Kleto has done both of my surgeries. He is amazing! Jodi at the front desk is equally amazing. She's super sweet, helpful and will educate you and answer any questions you have. They made it a very easy process. I appreciate them so much!

It is amazing! Very nice and know what they’re doing. I got 420cc breast implants and the doctor and nurse held my hand the entire way. My surgery went amazing and I’m very happy with my results. I’ll definitely be going back for more! Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Every time I called with a question she was right there to answer it for me and Kleto was hilarious! He’s funny and does an amazing job. I know a few girls that have gotten their breast done by him and they all look amazing!
