I am about 7 months out from my breast procedure....
- 5 Jul 2010
I am about 7 months out from my breast procedure. I had a breast lift with implants and I couldn't be happier with my results. My breasts were different sizes before and now I can't believe how much better they look. I am so happy with my size and Dr. W was so helpful before surgery, answering all of my questions and explaining everything to me. I knew what my scars would look like afterwards because she took the time to tell me; she even drew a picture. They are still healing, but they have already faded a lot. The trade-off was worth it!
I feel more confident now than I ever have and I owe that all to Dr. W. I highly recommend her!!
My Doctor: Jennifer L. Walden, MD
My rating:
She did a wonderful job and I am so thrilled with my results!
If I could go back in time, this would be a decision I would take back...having breast surgery with Dr. Walden. And I feel foolish for even putting myself through this when I believe there are genuinly good doctors out there who care about their patients outcome.
I wanted to further explain why I removed a few comments above. To do that, I'll include below the message I sent to rnuch regarding violating community guidelines.
If you're confused or concerned, please send me a private message. If you'd like to post feedback about RealSelf, you can do that here.
I’m Angie, the breast lift community moderator at RealSelf. While I’m not an employee of RealSelf, I do moderate reviews and comments. Part of my role is to make sure that RealSelf users are getting the most from their participation on the site.
I love this role because it helps people ask good questions and make informed decisions before deciding whether a procedure is right for them or not.
I do my best to keep it fair for all community members, people like you as well as over 1,000 doctors (who volunteer their time answering questions).
What I consider fair is for RealSelf users to post experiences about treatment reviews (as you've done) and, in the designated field, indicate whether they do or don't recommend a doctor.
I consider it unfair for someone to post entries disparaging other reviews as plants or frauds. No one likes personal attacks --which aren't allowed on RealSelf—or having someone question their honesty regarding their postings.
In the breast lift community, I focus on getting people to open up and share their surgery experience, but I do not allow discussion of individual doctors. I therefore moderate out comments which could be construed as personal attacks (which by law doctors can’t even respond to.). As you probably are aware, there are loads of forums for venting grievances and rating a doctor. It's just not the goal of the breast lift community and RealSelf. That’s why we ask that people refer to their doctors only in the doctor recommendation field associated with their review.
In your postings I see a mix of fair and unfair. I like that you offer insights about what you experienced post-op. That said, I’d really appreciate it if you’d allow people to express their breast lift experiences without suggesting they’re lying. Also, you reference the doctor in the discussion areas, but this should be limited to the doctor field in your breast lift posting.
Thanks for your help on this. I hope you’ll continue to help the breast lift community thrive!
Best, Angie
