Breast Reduction

CONVENIENTLY LOCATED TO SERVE NASHVILLE, BRENTWOOD, AND FRANKLIN

Struggling with back pain, shoulder grooves, or bras that never quite fit right? A breast reduction procedure at Papillion Aesthetics in Brentwood, TN may be exactly what you need. Dr. Paul Papillion offers cosmetic breast reduction surgery that puts your comfort and goals front and center.

This procedure reduces breast volume and reshapes the tissue, helping patients feel lighter, more balanced, and more confident.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty, involves removing extra breast tissue, fat, and skin. This creates a more proportionate breast size and helps ease physical discomfort caused by larger breasts.

Dr. Paul Papillion uses tried-and-true techniques to sculpt a natural-looking breast that complements your frame. As a specialist in cosmetic procedures, he focuses solely on results that serve your vision—not what an insurance policy might dictate.

  • Have large, heavy breasts causing pain or posture issues
  • Struggle with physical activity or clothing fit
  • Experience chronic skin irritation or shoulder grooves
  • Want better balance between your upper and lower body
  • Are in good overall health with realistic goals

Whether it’s about health, comfort, or aesthetics, Dr. Papillion will help determine if breast reduction is right for you.

“
For years, I had been unhappy with the size and shape of my breasts. I could not fit into clothes, bathing suits, or t-shirts. I had to find clothing options that were wide and boxy. Finally, I decided to look into plastic surgery. I met with Dr. Papillion. He recommended a combination of breast reduction and a lift. It’s been 2 months since the surgery and I love the results. Everything fits so well. It changed the entire shape of my upper body and balanced me out. I am so glad I chose to do this.

What to Expect During the Breast Reduction Procedure

The procedure typically takes two to three hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Papillion will make incisions around the areola, down the breast, and possibly along the fold to remove excess tissue and reshape the breast.

He’ll lift the breast and reposition the nipple to create a youthful, natural appearance. No two reductions are the same—Dr. Papillion builds each surgical plan to match your desired size and shape.
