Robbins Plastic Surgery

Breast augmentation by Dr. Robbins meet all my expectations: I got exactly what I was looking for (perfect size, cleavage, rounded on a top without looking fake and be massive) Also, my recovery was easy, only 3 days with painkillers. He and his team are professionals, especially I liked easy anesthesia!!!( I've been through 5 anesthesia in my life so I know for sure! All my experience was perfect from the 1st consultation
I recommend Dr. Robbins to everyone

Okay. I don’t even know where to start. I am 43 year old male. I was always self conscious as I got older of having a flabby, flat, white man’s ass. It is for sure an indicator of age. I did research for about three years. I was focused on New York and LA where there were doctors were performing more and more gluteal implants. My sleuthing provided that there were only a couple thousand gluteal implants done a year nationwide. I finally started to do research in Nashville as I was convinced that the seriousness of the surgery needed me to stay local. And, if something went wrong, I could easily access that physician to make it right. I stalked websites for about a year and decided to make a consult with Dr. Robbins. The consult was about 15 minutes as I was very direct as was he. Let me preface that at every pre op meeting all of the staff emphasized out how painful of a recovery this procedure is. How could it not be, your ass is being dissected and implanted with silicone implants? Right. I want to think his surgical calendar was about a year booked out at the time. We also decided that liposuction of the flanks would be ideal for the completed look. Why the hell not get rid of that spare tire. I can’t remember the specific price but I am going to say it was around 13k for everything. Hell, I had a year till the surgery, east enough to save up a few bucks. Over the year , I paid off my balance and then it came time for the surgery. You absolutely must have a caretaker for the first 72 hours. I paid a friend to come for ten days. There can be no nicotine in your system a month before the surgery or they will no perform. On the day of my surgery, I was extremely nervous of course. My friend drove me to the center. I was given relaxation meds. A nurse attempted to start an IV on me three times and gave up. She blew a vein which was very painful post op, if I’m being completely honest. She deferred to the nurse anesthetist to complete the job. I was taken into a beautiful operating room. The nurse said I would probably it remember our encounter. I do. And then I was out. I woke up and was quickly wheeled out to my car and friend waiting. Okay, here comes the truth. The pain is absolutely a 10. I was prescribed oxycodone and it did nothing to curb the pain the first night which scared me to death. Luckily, I was upgraded to hydro morphine which did curb the pain . What helped the most was the Robaxin. There was zero pain from the liposuction as it was all in my butt. I also had drains to drain off excess blood. About day three, I was literally embarrassed that my vanity had led to this unimaginable pain. The recovery is a solid 30 days. You ain’t doing shit for thirty days, so buckle in, stay on top of the pain pills. You might think you don’t need them but for the first two weeks, you will need them nonstop. Then you can wean to ibuprofen. I’m almost three months out, and there can be soreness if I sit for more than a few hours. But, whose ass does not get sore after a few hours. But, what I did not expect was as the butt pain went away, nerve pain from the lipo started to happen. It felt like electricity running up my side. A little readearch showed that is normal and will subside. I still get some every now and then but it is subsiding. Okay, so the results. Yes, my ass looks like I wanted it to. Yes my flanks are greatly reduced. Yes, I am very happy with the results . Yes, I would do it again. I could not be more pleased. But, if you are considering gluteal implants, you must have 30 days to recover and can’t be a whimp like me when it comes to pain. I believe my implants were 485 cc and the sucked 1.5 lbs of fat off each side. After all this, I am beyond pleased. Just being honest. Vanity is such a bitch.

I came here 2 years ago for my Breast Augmentation. And the whole experience has been awesome! When I found out they also did Botox and Fillers I tried it out and loved it! Jean is so good!!! I look and feel better than I ever have. I would recommend anybody looking to improve there appearance (for whatever reason) to please call Dr. Robbins office. They do everything there! Jean And her staff are AMAZING!!!

The way I would describe Jean's approach to lip fillers is that of an artist. In her spare time she paints, and you can tell that by the way she has an artist's eye for detail, and uses that approach with her fillers. My first time getting lip fillers with Jean, I chose Restylane, because I had done that prior with a different provider out of state. I loved my lips so much, that the next time I saw Jean we did Perlane for longer lasting results. My lips are absolute perfection! Jean is great at listening to your input about what you want and your goals, but I always tell her I trust her judgement and let her do her thing, as she knows best. She is someone you can trust to make you look your best. I also got to work with Jean during my post-op recovery period from a tummy tuck and lipo. I cannot say enough good things about her bedside manner. Seeing Jean in the office is like visiting with a friend rather than going to tedious doctor's appointment. She is hilarious and makes appointments so fun! That especially was appreciated during the uncomfortable recovery period. Thank you Jean! <3

Alittle about myself I am 31 yrs old 4'11 and 170lb mommy of four kids (15yrs, 12yrs, 8yrs, and 6yrs). Yes I had my first daughter right after turning 16yrs old so never really got to enjoy my teenage body. I have been wanting a mommy makeover since my first daughter but never really took action until the beginning of 2017. I have been to three different consults my third one being today and I must say I have decided to go with Chad Robbins at Robbins plastic surgery in Nashville, Tn felt comfortable the moment I walked in everyone I met was great. He did not make me feel pressured about anything and really went into full detail of everything that would happen and what to expect step by step in this whole process. He let me know what kind of realistic results I would have. So I am ready for this new chapter in my life. Ready for my boobs to be where they belong lol and my flat tummy!!! I just need to decide if I want to get it done in August or September!

I have my date set for 9/8/17!!!!! So excited

Updated on 4 May 2017:
Well got all my appointments set my pre-op will be august 25th that is also the date I will pay off my balance and get all prescriptions and do all test as well. I'm getting so nervous I know I have over four months left but just the thought of actually being able to like my body again is overwhelming!!!! I also put down my deposit to save my date September 8th can't come fast enough

Updated on 8 May 2017:
So I just realized I didn't even put what procedures I'm getting done lol I am going to have a fleur-de-lis TT with MR, BL with implants, lipo, and I am having fat removed under my armpit on my bra line( they will basically just extend the incision from my breast lift on both sides) because lipo will just leave me with saggy skin. I will soon start posting pictures if I can remember to take them lol.

Updated on 28 May 2017:
Ok guys I finally remembered and have the courage to take and post picks lol I really do dislike the way I look but will have the body I want in September yay

Updated on 18 Jul 2017:
I can not believe my date is less then two months away I am getting very anxious and excited the nerves are really kicking in..... just the thought that all my dreams are coming tru is unreal. The best thing is that I have let the close people in my life in on my surgery secret and they are behind me 100% so that is a plus

Updated on 4 Aug 2017:
Well I'm feeling extra sad today because I had to push my surgery date back from September 8, 2017 to January 12, 2018. I'm a little bummed but I know that I made the right decision. Just gives me more time to save the money and get the nerves in check lol
So new dates are pre-op on 12-27-17 as well as all other tests, surgery day 1-12-18 still need to be there at 6 am for 730 start time, then post-op on 1-18-18.

Ok so I am on day 4 and I am tired and in pain I know at the end of this all it is so worth it all. I was never looking for the perfect body because I it does not exist but I will say dr robbins put me right at that point I can not say enough about how awesome he is he has the best bedside manner and really cares all the nurses and everyone envolved at the hospital were the best of the best. Not only that but the support sysytem I have at home is awesome all my kids and my husband have been helpinme out with everything possible, the onl question I really have is when can I start wearing my own compression garments instead if the one I came home in from the hospial

So I must say this because in a lot of reviews I never saw anyone talk about the actual emotional rollercoaster you go through after the sx. So for the past week if not more I have been non stop crying and to be honest I really thought I was losing it. So I had a scheduled check up appointment yesterday and I talked to my surgen and he let me know that the emotions I am feeling are completely normal. Unfortunately I as not able to get any of the two drains removed it really bummed me out. They don’t bother me or hurt or anything it is just more of a pain taking care makin sure I don’t pull them when I go potty. But mostly I miss sleeping on my side spooning with the hubby. I miss the contact.
I will say I cried for about 45 minutes today but after I feel like a refreshed woman. Ok rant over I hope everyone is doing great and happy healing....

So I actually sat down yesterday and counted days and realized that I am literally only 2 weeks and 3 days today. Although I feel like it has been so much longer. Update on everything I have finished my second round of antibiotics and I am starting to be able to control the emotionally freaking out that I was having last week. I love my results and I can’t wait to see how much better they lookin time. I can still feel how tight the muscles are and I love it. The only thing is that I have a list of questions for Wednesday like when can I go without a bra when I sleep, when can I sleep without a cg. It’s crazy but I feel like my doctor did such a great job that everything feels so right. I don’t feel like lm going to fall apart whenever I take my cg off to shower like I have read other woman say here on rs. I am so happy with everything I love my surgen and everything he has givin me with working his magic on my much need body work. Well I would love to know when you all started sleeping without bras and cg and how it felt.

I have great regret over choosing this doctor. I am left without a nipple after a breast lift, implant exchange and revision with Dr. Robbins
Every phone call with the doctor or his nurse post surgery, my husband expressed concern about excess pain and swelling on my left breast and side. My husband called twice on day 2 after surgery (during office hours) to try and speak to the doctor. We never even received a call back.
Each conversation was the same: this is all normal and to be expected. My husband even asked if he had done extra work on my left breast to somehow explain what I was suffering. We were told both breasts had the same work – this is all normal.
Nobody once asked us to send photos or come back into the office for them to look at me.
5 days post surgery the nurse called, again my husband said swelling and pain was bad with my left breast. She told him to double up on my hydrocodone and this was all normal. All literature states maximum pain should be days 2-3. This was 5 days post.
The first and only time since surgery Dr. Robbins was to look at me was 8 DAYS post surgery.
I woke up that morning and my left nipple was purple. I called the office at 8am. The receptionist tried to dismiss me and said I had my appointment later that day. I insisted someone needed to look and she gave me the nurse’s email address. I communicated with the nurse and shared a photo and said I was very concerned. She told me there was no need to come in sooner and the doctor would see me as scheduled.
When Dr. Robbins finally saw me he said I had a hematoma on my left side and he needed to immediately act. I was given 2 Valium and no time for them to take effect before I was cut open in the office.
He immediately went into damage control and said he didn’t “think” that if he had seen me sooner he would have found the hematoma. But now he had caught it, I could expect a wide range of outcomes. Ranging from nipple loss (stressing this was unlikely) to normal outcome and anything in between.
He sent me home and told me to send daily photos to the nurse’s email address.
The next 3 days I sent photos. I got just one response on the Friday.
Saturday we sent a photo
Sunday we sent a photo
Nobody bothered to respond.
Monday morning I woke up and it looked terrible. I called the office.
The receptionist again tried to dismiss me and said I had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday) anyway. My husband angrily told her the doctor needed to check his emails and call us with a plan.
He called back within minutes after apparently looking at the photos that had been in the inbox for 3 days.
He told us to come in immediately.
My nipple was completely lost.
I was stunned. Shocked. Devastated.
Dr. Robbins said: “This is so sad – and we all have lost here. I’ve lost, you’ve lost and (my husband) has lost”.
To this day, the fact that he made this statement, minutes after telling me this devastating news, floors me.
Anyone can have complications and I was the unlucky one who did. What matters is how you are treated, how your concerns are listened to and the actions or inactions of your surgeon and his team.
It’s taken me 2 months to be able to look at myself without crying.
