So far, so good—Dr. Swanson is a medical professional who is no-nonsense
From BA consultation to post-op after care, Dr. Swanson is a medical professional who is no-nonsense, but very responsive and shows great care for patients. I visited Swanson in my late 20s after a friend (who had a BA) referred me to her, but I chose to wait until I had children and more settled in my career. Two weeks post-op and healing nicely. Best decision for me and my lifestyle. Receptionist Shannon and the pre-op informational packet, shared all the info I needed in preparation

Eyelid surgery totally worth it!
Thank you Realself for allowing clients to talk about their experience. I could tell a positive difference right away, even though I looked beaten down. Had been wasting money on botox for eye lift. Wish I did this way earlier. Been very diligent putting frozen peas on my eyes to reduce swelling. No pain, just feels a little stiff and tight. Excited about the final results. So far, very happy.
I'm 26. My son is 2. I gained 90 pounds during my pregnancy. After the weight loss and breastfeeding, I have lost so much volume in my breast and suffer severe sagging. I am having a lift using the lollipop method and anywhere from a 350-400 cc gel implants inserted under the muscle. The goal is a youthful appearance. Updated on 8 Jun 2015: Today was the day! I got to the Torrance location at 9:20am. Waited in the lobby for 15mins and then the nurse took me back. I did a urine
I'm getting laser lipo done on inner and outer thighs then I'll be getting my BL a week later. LL is on 12/16. The doc so far has been pretty great. Very thourough and she does not do the sales pitch to increase your cost. I spoke to another PS before and he was trying to sell me on multiple procedures for A LOT of money. My BL will include a small reduction; as you can see, I'm asymmetrical so the big one will be reduced then she's going to put them back where they used to be.

Smartskin CO2 Laser - 44 Female - Torrance, CA
I went to Dr Swanson after seeing amazing results on a friend. We both did a series of 3. I just did my last one last night. Cynthia used numbing cream for about SN hour and the procedure itself was about 20 minutes. This reduced my dark spots, improved texture, reduced wrinkles and pores and generally tightened up my skin. Improved overall look - I swear I glow! A little uncomfortable at times, around the eyes, nose and lips, but not painful. And it's a fast

I'm a 32B right now and I'm getting 410cc under my pectoral muscle. I lost 30 lbs so I went from a 34D to a 32B and I didn't like the way they looked. I hope I end up bigger than a D since I'm petite. I'm really happy I chose linda because she has amazing before and afters and her work looks flawless. Updated on 27 Jan 2014: 3 days post op and I was in god damn pain and super uncomfortable. I'm a stomach sleeper so you can only imagine. Anyways my doc prescribed me Vicodin for

Too Big - Torrance, CA
I needed to have my implants replaced as one had ruptured. I wanted the same inconspicious size. Right after surgery, while I was still grouggy, she said, "I didn't have the size you wanted so I made them a little bigger." They are too large for my small frame.

I've had several consultations and have been talking about it for 10 years. My husband can't believe I'm finally doing it now at 47! My PO was Friday and I'm SUPER nervous....neck pains, chest pains, fear of heart attack while on the table etc! I just want this horrible tummy gone, it's so depressing getting dressed cause nothing looks good with the big tummy, clothes just don't look good trying to cover it up. How long will I have to have the drainage tubes is also bothering
