Today I went to Dr. Eric Sadeh for my consultation for a Breast Reduction and Breast Lift. I was totally comfortable and confident this will be my Doctor for a breast reduction. Mikal is the office coordinator and his wife---she is a doll !!!! I 'm planning to do my surgery late April or the first week of May because I'm paying out of pocket. I currently wear a 38 G cup and want to be a full C cup or a small D cup

My surgery date is may 17th

I'm so conflicted with going to Florida. I love love love Dr. Azurin's breast with implant. He would reduce my breast from a G to a b or c cup and then add the implant to achieve the look that I want. My first thought was to go to Fl and rack up added expenses(air fare,hotel, car rental. Etc) and then I finally came across Dr. Sadeh and thought ill give it a shot. Dr.sadeh and Mikal are so sweet, just like family, I was in shock !!! I would ideally like to be in NY just in case any problem occur. And I also have other procedures I'm getting done so I'm not sure i can suck the bill up for 2 trips to Florida and one in expensive ass NY

I'll also add -- in 3/12 years I went from a 34/36 dd to G/GG depending on cut. This was due to weight gain but for the most part I've always had large breast!!!! And it hurts physically and emotionally :-(

After much confused thoughts, I finally made my deposit. There are many great surgeons in the U.S and outside this country, but I decided to stick with doctor Sadeh. Although it will cost me a little more money than going to Florida or the Dominican Republic, my piece of mind hopefully will be priceless. I went back to the office for trip 2 and went through more pictures of my desired results-- Dr.Sadeh assured my I will love my results or at least he hopes I will..he told me "anything less than the results we discussed he would be disappointed" if my breast ended up square or flat.I ran Mikal and dr. Sadeh's ears off repeating the same thing, saying this is what I want and the results I am looking for. My deciding factor at this point was more than money, I really appreciated Mikal talking to me on the phone for 40 minutes prior to me coming in and then spending another 1 1/2 hours with me between the Doctor And Mikal just to put my mind at ease. I have to say it was the customer service at this point, if it was money I would have still decided to go to Florida and save some money. So long story short I'm really glad they took their time approaching my concerns.

Mikal called me today to confirm my date. I'm one month away from having a collection of bra and panty sets..lol so excited and not nervous at all.

I want to start getting my stuff together now, a month will go by so fast. Looking for advice on any necessaries items that maybe helpful during my first week or two of recovery.

I think tomorrow I will go to Lord and Taylor's and buy my first set in a long time :-)
Great review?

I had a lot of concerns you did with my BR and picked my PS for similar reasons. In all, I'm sooo glad I went to a doctor who specialized in augmentation (not reduction). For me personally, I knew I had to have a surgeon who was proud of his/her work astetically; not simply concerned with me being another surgical procedure... It sounds like you also, have done a great job selecting a doctor :) As for necessary items...The best thing I did: I scheduled two appointments prior and had a stylist wash and blow out my hair. It was SO helpful and felt SO good the first week. There is no way I could have done it alone. It was really nice to let someone else do it and I felt much better during my recovery :)

I really hope i end up with a nice shape. Did you have to buy any supplies after surgery?

Hey girlie, you will love your reduction. I think the reduction with an implant is a FL thing, seems ironic. I wld shoot for a full B or small C bcuz u wl get some of it back. Make sure your areola is proportionate to your smaller boob size. Gl. New bra and panty sets everywhere;0

I'm looking to go to a small d full c. I'm also looking to lose an extra 45 pounds after surgery, so I hope they don't get bigger

Hmmmmm I went n a 30L, came out a D (wanted a full C) and before bbl was a 34 DDD. After bbl (perry lipoed side boobage) 32DD (but mayb smaller than that old bras don't fit. Haven't had a bra on since bbl). Strongly encourage u to lose weight before so doesn't change elasticity in new boobs.

Haha, I was scrolling along and went - "hey, those look like my boobs...wait, they ARE!" I'm flattered, don't mind you using them at all. I feel I should point out that that photo was 2 weeks post op and they've settled into a different shape (10 months post op now). I just updated with a current pic - you can see the change for yourself. I think that without an implant, that firm, high breast is difficult to get with any reduction - that said, I'm happier with the natural teardrop shape I have now than the hard little rocks they were at 2 weeks. I still stand by my doc 100%, love him to death. Dr. Komorowski in Bay City MI, btw. His website is not impressive at all but he does lovely reductions. Anyway thought I'd pop in and say hi ;)

One thing I like about the east coast is that most of our plastic surgery looks natural... However Dr. Lenny looked Hella Good for a Floridian.. I just checked out Dr. Sadeh's, page and i love his results.... Can't wait to see your dreams come true....

If I was getting implants I could see myself heading down but after much consideration.... I just luv them at the office

I called and spoke with Jesse and she was able to give me pricing over the phone. I just sent the doctor an email because I want to see pic of his breast reductions. There not on the site, haven't been uploaded yet, that a make or break deal for me. Shit but my friend is on broad, she fell in love with his implant-- they are gorgeous
CGray 21 Mar 2013
Let me know when you get the breast reduction pics. I had a breast reduction and gurl you will be full of breast, b/c all of the fat at the end of your breast will be moved to the top... I was a DDD and gurl, after the surgery I could fit a medium shirt and didn't have to wear a bra for 6 months.. They're beautiful and all yours... just my experience....I thought about getting the implant to fill me up but think the additional weight will result in another lift... And I love da way my breast look after my lift... It's soooo hard to get a surgeon that does an excellent lift... Hopefully he can... Also, do you have marks on your shoulders and under your arms and back area? Do you have health insurance. Because you can get a referral to a breast specialist they will take pics and send them to the insurance company and they will pay for the reduction. That's how I got my reduction and my breast specialist really liked my surgeons work when working with women who had breast cancer so I used him.
