Best Thing I Ever Did - Naperville, IL

Wonderful experience, very little pain, quick...

Wonderful experience, very little pain, quick recovery and immense boost to self esteem. I don't look 13 anymore!

My breasts look natural and that's what I wanted. Healing was fast, scarring was barely there and we got the symmetry I lacked prior to surgery. No complications.

Great review?

He explained everything, took into account my needs, left me assured that the final decision on size would be made based on what we communicated about what I wanted. He did make a slight change in our decision about size pre-op and it turned out to be a wise one.

Having my breast reduction surgery with Dr. Sigalove next Wednesday. Thank you so much for the critique. I liked him immensely after my appointment because he's no nonsense and all about straight talk. He was brutally honest about all the things that could go wrong, but his success rate speaks for itself. He's very highly sought after out here. I first tried to get an appointment with him last September and he was so booked, I couldn't get an appointment until January. My surgery is scheduled for March 6th. That's an awful long time to wait but when it comes to plastic surgeons, that's exactly what you want. The doctor who's really tough to book is a doctor with a lot of satisfied customers who've told all their friends how great s/he is. I'd rather wait months to see the surgeon everyone swears by that get right in to see someone with nobody in the waiting room. When it comes to plastic surgery, you want the best and you don't want to get cheap about it. You truly do get what you settle for. I've heard great things about Dr. Sigalove but until I found this blog, all I've read are the testimonials on his site, which are incredible, but what doctor is going to put hate mail on his own site? Reading it here from you means a lot. I'm so excited by your review. I can hardly wait until Wednesday!

It sounds like you had an ideal breast augmentation experience! I'm glad it went so well for you.

He is awesome. I was certainly a challenge. What little I had to start with wasn't even even and my skin has no "give". I still can't believe how great they turned out. Just realize that they all look bad in the beginning. It's not until your muscles relax that they drop into the place they will ultimately sit. He was very supportive and reassuring when my tight skin took extra long to relax and his judgement was spot on because eventually they became perfect. Breast surgery is not a one and done, it's a process. It's nice to have a doctor that supports you all the way to the end. His office staff is very nice, too. He's worth the wait. Good luck.
