I have several procedures booked with Dr. Robbins for 6/19/23, so I figured I would start my review now!!
I’m 4’11” tall. I’m a mom of 2 teenagers and have naturally birthed 2 full-term babies. After the birth of my second child 14 years ago, my weight crept up and continued to yo-yo for the next 12 years. In 2021 at a high weight of 251 pounds, I decided enough was enough and I started the process to have VSG. I had surgery on 4/21/22 and it’s honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. I worked so hard and am now down to 117 pounds and I feel amazing. However, I’m now left with sagging breasts and loose skin from my navel to my knees.
I decided in February 2023 to start my search for a plastic surgeon, and I read reviews for every surgeon in Nashville I’m pretty sure! Dr. Robbins was my first consultation, and I knew right away he was my guy. I knew I wanted a breast lift, and I wanted to discuss my options for lower body lift or extended tummy tuck. I was totally open outside that and willing to take suggestions from him. His recommendation was breast lift with augmentation, lower body lift, and autologous glute augmentation, so that’s what we’re going with!
My pre-op appointment is Monday, 6/4! I’m fully prepared, have a recliner being delivered for recovery, and now we’re in the final countdown! I’m hopeful I can return to work in 2 weeks since I work from home, but we shall see. I’m also updating on instagram at chayshapeshifts and have created a 0F with the same name to more transparently document my experience! Feel free to follow along!
I’ll update after pre-op and throughout my recovery!

Update 6/5/23
Had my pre-op appointment yesterday!! Katie, Natalie, and Ashley were wonderful, as usual. Tried on some sizers, settled on something around 300 CCs which is actually larger than I thought I’d want to go, but I think I have a way better idea of what my goals are at this point. I picked up alllllll the meds from the pharmacy, paid for surgery, got my last few questions answered, and will be at the office at 6:15am sharp on 6/19, surgery starts at 7! Also, they’re going to film my procedures which I am THRILLED about, I can’t wait to see everything I’ll sleep through after the fact, LoL. AHHHHH WE ARE SO CLOSE!!!!!!

Surgery Day 6/19
Everything went great on surgery day! I arrived at 6:15, took a pregnancy test, talked to anesthesia, took a quick nap, and woke up around 3 on my couch. ????????
Truly the experience was wonderful and I am pleased with my results so far. Attaching pictures from the day of surgery.
