Cosmetic Surgery Procedures For Women in Nashville, TN
Entrust your cosmetic experience to Dr. Harris and the Image Surgical Arts team of experienced professionals.
What to Expect Before and After a Mommy Makeover
Before surgery, you'll meet with Dr. Harris and our team to discuss your surgery goals and determine the best combination of procedures. Preparation may include a pre-surgery clearance exam with your primary care doctor, adjusting medications, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking.
After surgery, recovery time varies by patient, but most women experience some discomfort in the first week, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding.
Depending on the extent of your procedures, you should take it easy and limit physical activity for several weeks. Our team provides personalized aftercare instructions to promote a smooth healing process and long-lasting results.
Comparing Traditional Liposuction vs. High-Definition Liposuction
Liposuction offers precise fat reduction, but the technique can strongly influence the outcome. Traditional liposuction removes fat from targeted areas using powerful suction.
At Image Surgical Arts, Dr. Harris uses VASER liposuction, an advanced approach that liquifies fat while leaving connective tissue undisturbed. This leads to less bleeding, less damage to the lymphatic vessels, and a reduced risk of problems like hematomas.
With VASER technology, Dr. Harris can precisely remove the topmost layers of fat. This selective fat reduction allows him to use high-definition techniques to add definition to the treatment area. For example, high-definition liposuction can provide abdominal etching that creates the appearance of a six-pack.
It offers an advanced level of sculpting by enhancing muscle definition and body contours for a more athletic appearance. Dr. Harris is a leading expert in high-definition liposuction and was the first to bring this innovative technique to central Tennessee. His expertise allows patients to achieve refined, natural-looking results that surpass traditional methods.
How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Procedure for Your Body Goals
Selecting the right cosmetic procedure depends on your unique goals. Consider what bothers you most and envision your ideal solution.
That might mean a firmer, tighter tummy, restored breast position to reduce sagging, more breast volume, less fat deposits, or something else.
Led by Dr. Harris, our patient-focused team discusses your goals with you and helps you find the best possible surgery.
How to Maintain Your Surgical Results
Cosmetic surgery offers transformative results, but keeping your new body looking great requires dedication. A balanced diet featuring lean proteins, moderate amounts of healthy fats, and lots of vegetables will support both recovery and long-term outcomes.
Exercise — ideally including both weight training and aerobic exercise — can help maintain results by keeping your body toned and preventing fat accumulation.
Staying hydrated and practicing stress management techniques also contribute to overall wellness. Our team will guide post-surgical care and lifestyle adjustments to help you enjoy your results for years to come.
Cosmetic Surgery For Women: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the best procedure for restoring a pre-pregnancy body?
A mommy makeover is the go-to solution for women who want their pre-pregnancy body back. This customized approach usually includes a combination of tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast enhancement to address the changes brought on by pregnancy.
How do I know if I need a breast lift, augmentation, or both?
A breast lift is recommended if you are experiencing sagging and want to restore a firmer shape. In contrast, a breast augmentation provides volume and fullness. A combined lift and augmentation may be the best approach if both concerns apply.
What is the recovery time for a mommy makeover?
Recovery depends on the procedures performed. Most women experience some discomfort for about a week, with swelling improving. Light activities can be resumed within a few weeks, but more strenuous exercises should generally be avoided for at least six weeks. Dr. Harris provides a detailed post-surgical plan based on your specific situation.
Are there non-surgical options available for body contouring?
We offer non-invasive treatments like truSculpt and truFlex to reduce fat and enhance muscle definition in key areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and hips. Morpheus8 is another excellent option for fat reduction and skin tightening in smaller areas.
