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.

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.
