Like many of you, at the young age of 14 I was wearing a 36D only to continue to become larger as I had children and age set in. I wanted a Breast Reduction for as long as I can remember but never had the "guts" to do it. After having 2 children, one of which was 10 lbs delivered naturally, my tummy became stretched and ugly. I have always been self conscious about my body but now even more so. After consulting 7 plastic surgeons in my local area, I finally met Dr.Beckenstein who made me feel comfortable and at ease about the whole process. I wanted to make sure I was a good candidate for both procedures as I only wanted one recovery time. After a year of deciding, this July I finally did it! I am so excited and happy I choose Dr.Beckenstein!!! He has treated me with great care and concern and how not overlooked one small detail. I could not be more happy with him and his staff, who the the way are AMAZING!!!

Thank you angiemcc! It has been a bumpy road not as far as recovery but on week post op I had a blood clot go to my lung. That was very painful and scary. I will say my surgeon was wonderful about getting the best doctors to come in and he visited everyday i was in the hospital. I was no prepared for the slow recovery. I am 4 weeks and 1 day post op and I still get tired but everyday is getting better. Thanks so much!!

How long did recovery take from the clot? I was diagnosed with one 8 days post op (which was 4 days ago now). Quite annoying and scary.
