Modified Vertical with Pectoralis Sling/ Femme-S Breast Reduction Surgeons on the East Coast?

Are there ANY plastic surgeons on the east coast or anywhere close that does breast reductions using Femma-S (Footprint elevation Mamodermal Masto-Augmentation w/ sling support/parenchymal transposition with a horizontal ONLY scar or Modified vertical w/ pectoralis sling) technique? I've only found one surgeon so far that uses this technique in Miami ( Dr Rian Maercks). I was quoted $12,500 to get this procedure done & with discounts $8,000 which is still steep. I don't want the anchor incisons

Femme-S

The Femme-S technique is the name that this doctor has decided to give to a technique that is a modification of various techniques that eliminates the vertical scar. There are still scars around the areola and underneath the breasts into the lateral chest. It is good to do when you can do it but not all patients are candidates. Breast lift operations can be done in many different ways and the face to face evaluation of the patient, with discussion about the options is the best way to come to... more

Vertical lift

The procedure described sounds very specific and almost like a marketed name. I perform a lot of vertical lifts/reductions and this often does very well. An exam in person would be key. Good luck.
