Sooo pleased with my results!!!! I went in with...

Sooo pleased with my results!!!! I went in with Dr. T for my 2nd breast revision on September 10, 2014 due to a left capsular contracture that had been revised once before on October 2010, by the same accredited and famous Beverly Hills surgeon who originally augmented my breasts 12 years ago. My right saline breast had always been amazing, but lefty was always a disappointment): I had my saline smooth round implants inserted thru the areola ,submuscular the first time and the first revision, but lefty continued to harden even with an instructed 5 times a day massage.
After heaps of research on the best plastic surgeon revisionist specializing in capsular contracture all over the USA, I narrowed down my search to Dr. T and scheduled a consultation. After discussing what to do differently inorder to prevent capsular contracture from happening a third time, we agreed on silicone, smooth round implants, sub muscular, I wanted to go a little bigger while still maintaining a natural look (my body is my tool so I wanted to look proportionate- increased 100ccs in each implant), insertion under the breast at the crease, having drains, and using straticce (cut in two so there would be symmetry as well as Dr.T wanted to make best use of the pig tissue and my money). It has been 4 months and so far so good! My breasts bounce and feel & look natural! I was able to begin exercising again after only 3 weeks as opposed to 4 which was a huge exciting surprise!
Morning of the surgery, I asked for lipo in my arm pit since he was in the area and I was under, so he agreed to take some out for a small fee. The medical staff, Karen Villanueva, was my fav and biggest supporter quick to call me and ask how I was doing as well as always answering my emails and returning my calls promptly and agreeing to see me as often as I wanted (I attended the office often during my first 3 weeks so as to make sure my new twins were healing properly and sufficiently b/c I didn't want to have a 4th surgery on my breasts); the front desk always greeted me on a first name basis and had refreshments and great reading material apart from cosmetic surgeries.
The only negative I have is parking is not validated and once I was paid up & surgery had been complete, I had emailed financial consultant twice asking an insurance policy/question as well as called and she never replied. Otherwise, she was very helpful in prepping my blood work, mammogram, payment plan, and connecting with previous surgeon for my records and trying to accommodate my swift specific surgery date!
I highly suggest, if you are looking to get augmentation for the first time or looking for a revision specialist, Dr. T is your man! You will get what you pay for, so be prepared to pay alot but you will get perfection, so don't settle for anyone less! For my future cosmetic needs, I will always consult with Dr. T especially when it comes to my breasts!

This Dr knows his stuff! I appreciated his thorough explanation as to how he'd do my 2nd revision differently from my first surgeon, who was responsible for my original augmentation and 1st revision. I appreciated that he was willing to perform lipo morning of for a small fee. Very professional and passionate and appreciative of his work!
