Breast Reduction in Nashville, TN

Entrust your cosmetic experience to Dr. Harris and the Image Surgical Arts team of experienced professionals.

At Image Surgical Arts, we recognize how overly large breasts can affect your comfort, confidence, and daily life. Back pain, neck strain, and difficulty finding clothing that fits comfortably are just a few of the challenges many women face. Brady Harris, MD, a triple board-certified and fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon, is nationally recognized for his advanced skills in breast and body procedures.

Having performed more than 2,000 major surgeries in the past year, Dr. Harris helps women in Nashville, Clarksville, and Murray, KY, achieve lasting relief and a more balanced silhouette through breast reduction surgery.

Aesthetic and Health Benefits of Breast Reduction

In a breast reduction, Dr. Harris removes excess breast tissue and skin to create smaller, more balanced-looking breasts. 

When you think of breast reduction, the first thing that comes to mind might be the cosmetic improvement it offers. The surgery can give you a more proportionate and youthful breast shape, something many women with heavy, large breasts have always wished for.

But a breast reduction offers much more than cosmetic improvement; it can enhance your overall health and quality of life. Many women choose this surgery to find relief from:

  • Chronic pain – Large breasts often cause neck, back, and shoulder pain. Reducing their size helps relieve strain and discomfort.
  • Posture issues – Many women with large, heavy breasts habitually hunch over. Smaller, lighter breasts can make it easier to stand straight, so they may significantly improve your posture and reduce issues related to spinal alignment.
  • Skin irritation – Removing excess tissue can prevent rashes and skin infections caused by friction and trapped moisture.
  • Uncomfortable movement – Many women notice improved mobility, making it easier to exercise and enjoy daily activities without discomfort.

Insurance Considerations

Unlike many cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast reduction is often considered medically necessary when it relieves pain or helps solve other health issues. Insurance providers may cover part or all of the surgery if documentation supports the medical need.

At Image Surgical Arts, our team assists patients in navigating the insurance process, including submitting medical records, photographs, and details from your consultation with Dr. Harris.

Coverage varies by provider and plan, so we'll help determine if your procedure may be eligible for coverage.

Breast Reduction Recovery Details

Dr. Harris performs breast reduction surgeries in our onsite high-tech surgery center. After your breast reduction, you'll return home the same day with detailed instructions to guide your healing. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected for the first week and can be managed with prescribed medication. You'll wear a compression garment as you heal.

Most patients can resume light activities and work within 1–2 weeks; however, exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately 4–6 weeks after surgery. Dr. Harris and our compassionate team will see you for follow-up visits to ensure you are healing well and feeling more comfortable every day. We're always here if you need to reach out by phone after your surgery, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

A lift repositions sagging breasts, while augmentation adds volume. The combination achieves both in a single operation.

Yes—Implant size is ultimately the patient's decision. Dr. Harris and his staff will help you select implants that meet your aesthetic goals and suit your frame.

One of the extra advantages of the combo procedure is that Dr. Harris uses the same incisions for the entire process. He uses careful techniques and keeps scars as discreet as possible.

Not significantly. Most patients recover similarly to those undergoing a lift-only procedure, with light activity resumed within 1 to 2 weeks.

Results are long-lasting, although aging and gravity may gradually affect the shape of the breasts. Supportive bras and maintaining a stable weight help sustain results.
