Best. Decision. EVER!

WORTH IT
I am a 21, 5’5” and around 150 pounds with 32GG breasts. Ever since 8th grade I had struggled with my appearance, being so out of proportion with my body. My breasts were very heavy and saggy, and buying bras was a nightmare! Of course they didn’t carry my size in practically any store so I always had to buy online which is frustrating. I had to buy larger sizes in shirts to compensate for my chest and nothing ever looked right on me. Not to mention the back and shoulder pain that comes day in and day out. I was developing anterior pelvic tilt due to my lower back muscles pulling taught to compensate for the top heaviness. So finally I thought it was time to look into my options! Hallelujah! Dr. Papillon was AMAZING! First off, the staff at Cool Springs Plastic Surgery is superb. The office was lovely and inviting, and everyone was super attentive and friendly. Dr. Papillion is very nice and easy to talk to, I felt very comfortable when I when in for a consultation. He assessed my situation and agreed instantly that I was a great candidate for this operation. We discussed sizing and looked at pictures together to help pinpoint the desired look. I said I would be thrilled to be in the D/DD range. I told him I would rather be still a little larger in size rather than too small, and he answered all of my questions before I even asked! I felt very confident that he understood what I wanted. I booked the surgery 3 months later and due to me being a hairstylist, he recommended taking at least 4 weeks off to heal completely. The surgery was text book and in my experience, the pain wasnt too bad! I was only on the pain pills for the first three days, as I was very conscientious of taking opioids. (And they make you constipated which is the worst!) As long as I was leaning back and keeping pressure of my chest it wasn’t too terrible. The only thing that really was uncomfortable was the stinging of the incisions. I never had muscle spasm or nausea, so I didn’t have to take those medications either thankfully! My biggest piece of advice post op is getting a neck ring. I found lounging on the couch the most comfortable with a few pillows behind my back for support and the neck ring. I am two and a half weeks and my recovery has been great! Other than being conscientious of how I move as it can pull on the incisions, I’ve had no issues. And I am absolutely IN LOVE with my results! My breast are now lifted and perky and my nipples are much smaller. I feel so much more confident already and I can’t wait to go clothes shopping! So worth it.
