My review is about my breast augmentation with Dr....

My review is about my breast augmentation with Dr. Buchanan. He actually revised my breasts! Dr. Buchanan changed my life for the better. I had a horrible experience with a different doctor in a different area about a year before. Not only did the other doctor botch me and over-dissect my breast pocket, but I was left with just a mean nurse (who didn't speak much english) for all of the post op appointments at the other place. I thought no doctor could ever fix my over-filled, lopsided saline implants that went in funky places on my chest. My right one was so low that my nipple pointed up to the sky. The other one pointed straight. After learning of Dr. Buchanan's 30 years of experience and his very thorough consultation (much better than the other doctor from the start,) I knew that my chances of the perfect revision started with him. He's got all the experience needed and he CARES about his patients. His staff is absolutely amazing as well. Dr. Buchanan not only gave me a perfect revision, but the perfect shape and size for my body as well. I LOVE my new cohesive silcone gel implants by Dr. Buchanan. They are so soft and perfect. I'm about 5 weeks post op and completely satisfied with how they're healing. Not only did he revise my implants and breast pockets, he gave me the most perfect as possible result I could've ever dreamed of. My breasts now look like twins/sisters, not like two completely different boulders. Also the staff and professionalism was so much better here, than the experience I had before. I actually got to see Dr. Buchanan after my surgery for the post op appointments! He cares enough to listen to your needs and desires, and has enough experience to do the best implants there can possibly be! I even look better in my clothes and bikini! People could instantly tell how much better I looked without the awful implants I had before. Now they look pretty, more full, and how I wanted them (in the right way and shape for my body, not too big or small), and they feel much more soft and jiggly! I am beyond happy. Dr. Buchanan gave me the gift of confidence, and that is priceless. For a whole year before getting my implants fixed, I was a broken woman. People don't realize the impact a breast augmentation can give. It can either give you the confidence you're looking for, or completely break you, and make you depressed for a very long time until fixed. I should have gone to Dr. Buchanan the first time! Getting a great plastic surgeon is so important due to what could happen if you go to a "chop shop" like I went to the first time. The first time was cheap, but defiantly not worth it. Dr. Buchanan is so worth it!!!! I can now face life with a happy, confident heart! Thank you so much Dr. Buchanan! You have no idea how you've helped me. I am truly a more happy, and a smiley person now that you've fixed someone else's mistake. My quality of life and how I feel in my body has gone up immensely! Dr. Buchanan is not only absolutely amazing at breast augmentations, but also revisions!!!! It feels amazing to finally have full, very symmetrical breasts! Thank you so much again to the staff here, and of course the best of the best, Dr. Buchanan!!! I will be recommending my friends and family to come here!!! 5 stars!!!!!!!
