At Papillion Aesthetics, we understand that the decision to undergo breast plastic surgery is deeply personal and can significantly impact your confidence and quality of life. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Papillion is recognized as a top provider of breast surgery in Nashville, TN.
Under Dr. Papillion’s care, countless patients have experienced dramatic improvements in their quality of life as a result of breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, and nipple correction surgeries.
Types of Breast Plastic Surgery Procedures
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of our most popular breast surgeries. Though the primary goal of this procedure is an increase in size, breast augmentation also provides patients with many options for enhancing the shape and projection of the breasts.
Dr. Papillion provides natural-looking breast augmentation with saline breast implants and silicone breast implants. He is trained and experienced in the latest breast implant placement techniques so that he can accommodate the diverse needs of his patients.
Breast Augmentation with Lift
A breast augmentation with lift is a combination surgery that addresses both the size and position of the breasts. A youthful breast position is essential for aesthetic breast augmentation results. A breast lift procedure raises and tightens sagging breast tissue so you can achieve perky, beautiful contours with breast implants.
Breast Lift
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the natural aging process can cause the breasts to droop and lose their shape. A breast lift, or mastopexy, involves removing excess skin, reshaping breast tissue, and returning the breasts to a more elevated position. This procedure is often performed in combination with breast augmentation, breast reduction, and nipple correction surgeries.
Breast Implant Revision
During breast implant revision surgery, your existing implants will be removed and replaced with new implants. This procedure is optional and based on a desire to reduce or increase the size of the breasts. In other cases, older implants must be exchanged for new ones to resolve or prevent complications, such as a ruptured implant or asymmetry.
Breast Reduction
With breast reduction surgery, patients can find relief from the physical and emotional distress caused by large, heavy breasts. This procedure involves removing breast tissue to decrease the size and weight of your breasts. Dr. Papillion shapes the remaining tissue for a symmetrical final result that complements your figure.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that causes men to develop excess breast tissue. Male breast reduction surgery, or gynecomastia surgery, is performed to firm and flatten the chest contours. This surgery, however, is not intended as a weight loss solution, and a healthy lifestyle is essential for maintaining gynecomastia results.
Implant Removal
Breast implant removal, or explant surgery, can be medically necessary when there are complications with a patient’s implants, such as breast implant illness or capsular contracture. This procedure is also an option for women who decide they no longer want breast implants.
Nipple Correction
Dr. Papillion frequently performs nipple correction surgery for patients who are bothered by asymmetrical, enlarged, protruding, or inverted nipples. This treatment may be combined with areola reduction, which brings the areolas into balance with the breasts.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for breast plastic surgery are individuals in good health, with realistic expectations and a desire to enhance their breast appearance. Whether you seek augmentation, reduction, or correction, a consultation with Dr. Papillioin will help determine the best approach for your unique goals.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from breast plastic surgery varies depending on the procedure. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days following surgery. Following Dr. Papillion’s post-operative care instructions, including wearing support garments, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments, is essential.
Most patients can return to work and regular activities within a few weeks, though complete healing may take several months.
Cost
The cost of breast plastic surgery at Papillion Aesthetics varies based on the specific procedure and individual patient needs. We will provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation, including surgery fees, anesthesia, and any additional expenses.
