I wouldn't believe the hype.

I wrote a blog based on my experience - www.nolabreastsurgery.net. It is all very very carefully factual.

I received a cease and desist letter threatening a lawsuit. They are terrible. They do this to everyone who speaks out. There would be a LOT more negative reviews of the NOLA hospital and Dr. Trahan if they weren't always threatening or buying them off.

I wouldn't believe the hype. I know some women have good experiences at this hospital, but others don't and they treat them horribly. My surgeon was Dr Trahan. He wanted to cancel my surgery the day before, after sellling me on it for a year and me planning my life around it, because he had a "vibe" and "works on instinct." Everything is incredibly confusing with him like that. He also discussed my case with another patient which is a violation. He pushes a lot of propaganda and sells hard for people desperate, like I was. In my case, something went wrong after the surgery. I knew what it was. He made me feel like I was crazy for months and ignored texts and emails. When he finally got confirmation that I was right, he didn't contact me for a month to explain it. A month!!! And then explained that my result was extremely rare. Why would you wait a month to share results with an extremely rare case, especially if you need to schedule another surgery soon? When I asked questions about how they determine and define their 99% success rate - because he was suggesting I do the same thing over again, which is a very painful surgery - he dropped me as a patient. And this was after I lost insurance. Then my breast tissue began to change color and I lost skin. They didn't care. It was the worst experience I've had, made worse because Dr Trahan will talk for over an hour about what a great and wonderful person he is. Don't fall for it. Actually good and caring doctors don't have to go on and on about it. Also not a huge deal but he calls female patients "sweetheart," etc which made me super uncomfortable. It's all very weird and casual like that.
