Breast Reduction - Could Not Be Happier - Boston, MA

After years of being uncomfortable with the size...

WORTH IT$11,999

After years of being uncomfortable with the size of my breasts, I decided to explore the possibility of a breast reduction. Dr. Darrow was referred to me by my primary care physician. My first encounter with his office was when I called for an appointment. His assistant, Helen, is the kindest and sweetest woman I have ever met. She was so pleasant and helpful. From the moment I met Dr. Darrow, I knew he was going to be my surgeon. He explained the whole procedure to me from start to finish in layperson terms. He addressed all of my questions and concerns during my initial consultation. We also discussed the size that I wanted to be. At the end of that appointment, he stressed the fact that if I had more questions to either call him or set up another appointment with him. He made himself very available.

On the day of surgery, he arrived at the hospital early and met with me immediately to go over any last minute questions I had. Dr. Darrow promised me that he would make my breasts proportionate to the rest of my body, and was he spot on! I could not be happier with the results. My neck and back discomfort has disappeared and I feel so much more comfortable in my clothes. I highly recommend Dr. Darrow.

Did your insurance cover your reduction with Dr. Darrow? I have a B.R. consultation with him next month!
My insurance covered the whole surgery. Please let me know if you have any other question. Best of luck!
Great! What type of insurance do you have? How quickly did you find out after your consultation if you were approved? Did you have to stay over night or were you released after your surgery? Does Dr. Darrow use drains? Thank you!
I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. I want to say I was approved in less than 3 weeks from my consultation with Dr. Darrow. Helen, Dr. Darrow's assistant, is excellent at getting them approved very quickly. I did not have to stay overnight, I was released the same day. Dr. Darrow used drains on me and he will tell you himself that the drains are more painful (I just found them annoying) than his incisions, but nothing pain medications will not take care of.
Another quick question! Did you have to get a tube down your throat?! I have been reading about some peoples experiences and they say they have had this before the procedure, just wondering if you had it at Dr. Darrow's office? Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated!!
Yes, typically during a surgery that you are under general anesthesia for, a tube is placed down your throat for the ventilator. I do not remember them putting the tube in my throat because I was already completely sedated. The only reason why I know that a tube was put down was because I woke up with a sore throat, nothing a popsicle didn't take care of.
Great. I have another quick question, was there a consultation fee? If so how much? I totally forgot to ask when I booked my appt.!
