I am scheduled to have a "mommy makeover" (breast reduction/tummy tuck) on Wednesday December 5th. I have had large breasts for most of my life starting in 7th grade. It was always a problem for me. I have spent most of my adult life ignoring men staring at me and everything I wear is obscene. After I had kids my body took a turn for the worst. I have stretch marks and what is referred to as a "panis" (over hanging skin) in the medical community, it is unsightly and embarrassing. I have had not luck getting rid of it with Diet and exercise. I am ready/terrified.

Great review?

My Doctor: Robert Cohen, MD

I have had consults with a number of PS in the greater Scottsdale/Phoenix area. It has been difficult to find someone because a breast reduction is such a specialized procedure and I am a relatively young lady and have a high expectation for the aesthetics outcome of the surgery. Dr. Cohen is the ONLY surgeon who has AMAZING before and after photos and I believe it is directly related to his being an artist.
