Body contouring combined with breast enhancement or breast lifting is a huge part of my practice. The surgeries can be very powerful in restoring the body after children. Because this is a longer operation, the complication risk are higher and that is one of the reasons it is very important to see someone who highly qualified, board certified, and has hospital privileges. Review photos and testimonies. See more than one surgeon in consultation to make sure they are right for you.

I perform many of these surgeries weekly and enjoy them a lot. Choosing the right doctor is very important. Make sure to look at several before and after photos along with review of testimonies. Seeing 2-3 qualified surgeons is a good idea.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping

Rhinoplasty is on of my favorite procedures. It is amazing how reshaping the nose to match and blend with your face can improve your overall appearance. I only perform cosmetic rhinoplasty. I do not perform insurance "breathing work" or other "pathology" of the nose. This allows me to primarily focus on the cosmetic aspects first and foremost which I enjoy very much. Make sure to see 2-3 highly qualified surgeons. Look at before and afters, and make sure the surgeon performs animations of your nose so that you can be sure that you and they are on the same page about your expected outcome.

Chin Liposuction

teekay7618

Whole office made my procedure worry free - loving the results

I had a great experience at papillon esthetics from start to finish. I had scheduled with another surgeon when I came across Dr. Papillons before and after photos for chin liposuction. I really felt like they were better than (thousands) of other photos I had seen, so after a quick scan of his reviews I called to set up a consultation. Regina at the front desk really took her time explaining the process and chatting with me and by the end of the conversation I already knew I was going to cancel with the other surgeon. Dr papillon only increased my confidence at our consultation and from there the scheduling process was up front and easy. The procedure itself was quick and I was feeling almost back to normal with minimal pain after only two days. Everyone is different but I had almost none of the dark bruises I have seen on other individuals who underwent the same procedure and I am an east bruiser so I credit that to Dr. Papillons care. I am two months out from my procedure and loving the results! It looks and feels amazing and I would recommend this procedure with Dr. Papillon to anyone who’s thinking of going for it!

Mommy Makeover

Calm961228

11 weeks post-op, I am stunned and overjoyed by my results!

Dr Papillion and all of his staff are so kind and helpful. At my consult we went over everything I wanted and some of what to expect. I had a 100 questions about the procedure and aftercare and Dr. Papillion was happy to take the time to answer all of them. Once my consult was over his wife Sarah brought me to her office to go over cost and ultimately book my surgery date and put down a deposit. I’m 11 weeks post-op now and so happy with my results! I had what would be considered a mommy makeover, which for me included an abdominiplasty (tummy tuck), mastopexy (breast lift), liposuction to my hips, and axillary tissue removal (removal of breast tissue near my armpits). I am stunned and overjoyed by my results! Dr. Papillion did a fantastic job! When talking to him about a breast lift he had me send him photos of what size and shape I was going for so he could do the best job possible to give me what I wanted. He also managed to cut out pretty much the entirety (minus 2 small 1-inch lines) of a huge hip to hip tattoo that I had which I was very pleased with! Dr. Papillion is not a surgeon that will forget about you after your procedure is over. He gives out his personal cell phone number and is available 24/7 if needed. When I developed a suspected blood clot a week after surgery he was on top of making sure I went to the ER and came to visit me the next day in the hospital before going in for surgery to see how I was doing. I have healed quickly and I have no doubt it’s because of his caring hands and technique. And my results speak for themself. They can be found in his website www.PapillionAesthetics.com under the mommy makeover gallery.

10/10 Recommend!

Dr. Papillion has far exceeded my expectations with my breast augmentation and lift! I went to multiple consults beforehand, and I knew without a doubt that I wanted Dr. Papillion to do my surgery. He’s very thorough with explaining everything, answering questions, and making sure you understand the process. Every member of the staff has been delightful including the patient care coordinator, Sarah. I’m 100% thrilled with my results, and I will be recommending him to everybody in the future!

Great Experience and Would Recommend

My experience getting surgery with Dr. Papillion was great! This was my first surgery (and first time ever being in a hospital) and he put all my nerves at ease. I went in for a consultation for my chin looking to do liposuction and potentially an implant. Dr. Papillion listened to all my concerns and answered all of my many questions. He then came back with three different visuals to show me an estimate how each would look. This helped me feel very comfortable with my decision and visualize what was needed to get the look I truly wanted. I ended up doing both chin liposuction and a chin implant. Coordination was easy and the team was always there to answer my questions. After the surgery Dr. Papillion checked in on how I was doing and answered my questions as I recovered. My results speak for themselves and also looks very natural which I love. I’ve never felt so confident with my side profile as I do now and have only Dr. Papillion and his team to thank. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Breast Implant Revision

So Very Thankful for This Wonderful and Caring Physician!

In the Spring of 2021, I realized I had a ruptured breast implant. Along with this rupture I had pain in the left breast and I knew I had to have this situation remedied as soon as possible. I did some research and discovered Dr. Papillion in the Cool Springs area. His patients could not say enough wonderful things about the doctor, their experience and their results. Upon meeting Dr. Papillion, I immediately knew I had found a kind and caring physician who could help me through this surgery. Dr. Papillion took his time to explain the surgery and all that would be involved in this exchange and my aftercare. Not long after our initial consultation, I had my surgery and now after some months of healing, I am so pleased to say the surgery was a great success. I am beyond thrilled with my beautiful result. Dr. Papillion and his amazing staff are the the most caring group of professionals, with a commitment to excellence. I am still seeing Dr. Papillion for continued aftercare as he insists that the patient is completely satisfied and all is well with the final result. Dr. Papillion is a compassionate, empathic and highly skilled physician who delivers the highest standard of care possible. I can't thank him enough for all he did to help me through this, as he continues to ensure my complete health and wellness as his first priority. Thank you Dr. Papillion and staff for the highest standard of care and all you did to help me regain my health and full restoration. I highly recommend this outstanding medial practice and this gifted wonderful doctor! T.M.

Wonderful Experience with Dr. Papillion

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Papillion and his staff. I had never had a surgery before let alone a cosmetic procedure I was a bundle of nerves. I had a breast lift procedure. Dr. Papillion and his staff made me feel comfortable and at ease and made sure all my questions were answered. I felt confident in his skill and ability but most importantly his demeanor made me feel the most at ease. After my procedure he checked in on me and stayed in communication in case any questions came up. I wish I had found Dr. Papillion and his staff sooner and wish I had my procedure sooner. The confidence I feel is immeasurable and I am grateful to Dr. Papillion and his staff.

415cc L and 450cc R

So I am 5'7, 130 lbs, mother of 3. I've always been a small A cup, except during breastfeeding, I was maybe a C, and after breastfeeding all 3 of my kids, my breasts managed to get even smaller than what I started with! I finally have my surgery date booked and I'm 10 days out! I'm going with Natrelle soft touch, 415cc submuscular. These next 10 days need to hurry up! Updated on 16 Jun 2021: My final results will be a little bigger at 415 cc. I cannot wait! Updated on 17 Jun 2021: This app is pretty cool, I'd be super happy if my results turned out like this, I'll have to do a comparison after my surgery. I'm so excited to finally have this procedure done! I've wanted it for forever, especially after breastfeeding my babies. I'm so glad I chose Dr. Papillion, he and his staff have been great so far! Updated on 23 Jun 2021: I had my surgery this morning, everything went smoothly. I’m kinda sore now with some tightness in my chest, especially when I take a deep breath but nothing too bad. From the little bit I see I’m already in love them. Here’s my pre surgery pictures and a post op ones. Better pics to come! Updated on 24 Jun 2021: Was actually able to sleep pretty well, made sure to take my pain medicine and muscle relaxers right before bed and I think that definitely helped. Got my first peak this morning and I am in love already I got Natrelle soft touch/ 415 cc on the left and 450cc on the right. Can definitely feel more stretching on the right, but it’s bearable. Can’t wait for the D&F! Updated on 25 Jun 2021: I received a breast augmentation from Dr. Papillion and he was nothing short of amazing. He was kind, attentive, and answered any questions I had without being condescending in explaining the answers. You could tell he genuinely cared if his patients had a positive experience, and this was reflected throughout his entire office staff. I look forward to seeing the support and beautiful results I'll receive from Papillion Aesthetics! Updated on 25 Jun 2021: Feeling good!
