Dr. S preformed my Breast Augmentation surgery 12/21/09. I got a lift and implants of 400cc's. I went from a B to a D (in some bras I am now a DD).

I will be honest. 2 weeks before I met Dr. S, I found a "good deal" coupon for a local surgeon. I quickly called the practice and after only 1 visit with the competitor, I booked my surgery. When mentioning the other surgeon's name to a close friend, I realized what a HUGE mistake I was making by considering using this other doctor. Turns out the other doctor was not Board Certified by the ASPS and had a HORRIBLE reputation!

I am thankful that I found Dr. S and had a great experience. Some others aren't so lucky. Certification by an ABMS Member Board involves a rigorous process of testing and peer evaluation that is designed and administered by specialists in the specific area of medicine. Did you know that someone can be board certified in other areas (not plastic surgery) and list "board certified" on their qualifications? Seems like false advertising to me, but it's done all the time.

I am 120% happy with my results with Dr. S. He is phenominal!

I am now 8 months post-op. Here is a current picture.

I am now 8 months post-op and have been referring other friends/relatives of mine. So far there are two scheduled for breast augmentations Oct. 2010. Good luck ladies!! I am still pleased with my results. At times I wish I had gone bigger (boob greed setting in), but overall I am happy.

My rating:

If you are looking for someone with a strict code of ethics and SAFETY, look no further! He is an amazing plastic surgeon. His bedside manner is professional. The staff at his facility are caring and knowledgeable, especially Sara I love her. I am so happy I found Dr. S. You can't ask for anything more in a Doctor.

Hi. The only scarring I have are from implant insertion which are pretty much faded now 8 months post op, but are underneath my breast in the fold and never seen. I have to physically lift my breast to see the thin scar. As a personal request of mine, I asked Dr. Soto to re-shape my areolas making them smaller. In order to fufill my request, he did what he called a "fancy lift" where he kind of puckered the skin together at my nipple and pulled the skin together to lift my breasts. My scar around my areolas is a perfectly round (almost faded) thin line. Thankfully, I do not have a scar from the lift like my girlfriend who has an upside down letter T that is visible and so un-natural. She by the way did NOT have Dr.Soto as her surgeon. Good luck and you're in good hands with Dr. S!!!! :) *Regarding the photos, I am not comfortable sending full nude pics at this time. Thanks.

Hi fancift. I'm on my 5th month now and I feel that I dropped/fluffed around month 3. Yes, they are under the muscle.

How long did it take you to drop and fluff? Were your implants under the muscle?

They look fabulous! We have some great docs in Orlando with a few bad apples. Reputation goes a long way. I personally recommend Dr. Chois but certainly think highly of Dr. Soto now, too! I'm so glad you had a great experience. ENJOY!!!

Hey they look really good in a bathing suit id like to see them bare though. im considering a lift and implants. What kind of lift did you have? Thanks :-)

Hi godsgrace7. Honestly, I'm not comfortable posting completely nude pics online, sorry. Regarding the lift, I had what Soto called a "fancy lift" where he went through the nipple with NO scarring. The only scar I have is underneath my breast and it has faded by now to where it's almost un-noticable.
