Not as thrilled 1 year out
My results aren't as good as they were initially. The thing that sold me on Dr H was the upper breast fullness without an implant. Now that the swelling has gone down (it literally took a year), my breasts are pancakes. Completely flat above the nipple with zero cleavage. I got a reduction and now I've considered getting a tiny implant to fix the shape; however since he altered my chest muscles, I seriously doubt an implant could be placed under the muscle now. His work on me wasn't horrible, it's just not worth paying DOUBLE the price for sure. I could've gotten my breasts, TT, and tons of lipo all for half the cost.... and close to home. Not worth it and the vertical scar with other docs isn't that bad. It was the shape of the breast that I was mostly concerned with and desired but sadly they deflated over time.
I am also left with these weird fat pockets under my arms that looks like a second boob. It has been impossible to find a swimsuit that doesn't show this and most make it look 1000x worse with a strap that runs underneath it so the fat rolls over it. Same thing for the TT. I have a nice flat stomach but ugly fat bulges on my hips that give me a muffin top took in fitted tees. Again, I spent 25 grand and still can't wear any swimsuit and still have a freakin' muffin top. Most of my dissatisfaction could have been avoided with a little localized lipo to finish contouring the final result. These problems were there from Day 1 and his solution was to come back for a revision later. Why would you do that when it could've been done 100% right from the beginning. If it's something that HAS to be done in a revision, I get it. But this is something the should have been done during my initial surgery and part of the price, if I might add. Every other surgeon does this for a reason. Because their patients are happy with their results and their work is 'finished' the first time, not half a*$.
Another failed promise was his special TT procedure that they claimed makes you lose a ton of weight. Smh. You may feel full a little sooner with eating for the first 2 months at most. Once your abdominal wall gets used to being stretched after surgery, your appetite is back to normal....only now your activity level is still poor because the pain is terrible for months with any exertion. So ultimately you really don't lose any weight. Just another disappointment so again, not worth the extra money for his 'special' technique.

Provider Review
Work is just ok, but be ready to be treated horrible once the surgery is over. Immediately after waking up from surgery I was accused of being 'on chronic pain meds' (AKA drug addict) because apparently I required more anesthesia drugs than 'normal' while sedated. WTF?! I never asked for anything else but if I mentioned the pain, Dr H and Elisa treated me like I was being a baby. The worst part was when Elisa removed my drains in my armpits and I could feel the ripping and tearing as she happily jerked them out. I literally started sobbing in pain. She then smerked and said that this area wasn't dissected well (i.e. she literally ripped them through my tissues instead of thru a track made in surgery for it to slide out). My sister was with me and also felt that Elisa seemed to actually ENJOY doing it and hurting me. After my TT, I ended up staying in the hospital for 2 additional nights at $500 a pop bc the pain was so bad and more importantly his pain management was very poor. I paid $25K for this treatment?! Some complaints about his work is in regards to leaving some things unfinished. It may seem like an easy thing for him to say go back for a 'touch up' but after going thru 2 five hour surgeries and an extended recovery, I don't want to go back under the knife. Even after a year and a half, I don't want to have another surgery. Other surgeons include lipo to the flanks with a TT for a reason. Because you are left with weird looking lovehandle dog ear things. Same thing for the breast surgery. I have these weird fat bulges under my armpits that make it impossible to find a flattering swimsuit. Frustrating after spending so much money and time already that I will have to go back for a revision.
