Currently 2 weeks post op - very happy with the results thus far

I was referred to Dr. A by a Scripps Nurse and a friend. During my consult, Dr. A was very attentive to my concerns and explained the procedure to me in full detail. It was like a breath of fresh air. It was obvious that his education and experience far exceeded any of the other doctors I had spoken with. I walked out feeling very confident and ready to have surgery which was a feeling I had not experience with any of the other consults I had. I was confident that Dr. A was the

32 DD to B cup - couldn't have asked for better results

Hi All! I had a breast reduction procedure beginning of July 2023 and couldn’t have asked for better results so far! Just for reference I’m 32 years old and pretty active (running,boxing,etc). I’m currently 4 weeks post-op and recovering pretty well. When I met Dr A, he was really nice and understanding about the pain and discomfort my breasts were causing. He also asked about the size I wanted to be from my current size (32 DD) and I chose to be a B cup. I liked the fact he

Five Stars, Zero Hesitation

I knew I would be facing a mastectomy and breast reconstruction for a while (gene mutation puts me at extremely high risk of breast cancer). I interviewed a few surgeons in my previous medical group, and they all were kind and professional but I never felt 100% confident in their approach for my individual case. A trusted family friend who is in the local medical community highly recommended I seek out Dr. Apostolides if at all possible. This meant a lot to me because this family

My Results Have Been Life Changing

My outcome far surpassed my expectations and if I could I would give Dr A and his staff 100 stars. I decided to book an appointment with Dr A after seeing my daughters “Mommy Makeover” results. I needed to have my 30+ year old silicone implants replaced and I felt so comfortable with Dr A I decided to do what I jokingly called a “Grandma Makeover” which included liposuction, breast revision and a tummy tuck.

I had been wanting a breast reduction for many years

I had been wanting a breast reduction for many years and I was referred to Dr. Apostolides by doctor friend of mine. I had a smooth and easy experiences with his office from the beginning to end. Dr. A explained my procedure in great detail and when I had any questions he responded by email very quickly. I'm very pleased with every aspect with Dr. Apostolides and I also love my results.

BRCA Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomies

I had the very unfortunate luck of testing positive for the BRCA gene mutation. Think Angelina Jolie minus the millions, the fame and the Brad Pitt.. After being told I had an 87% chance of having breast cancer and seeing my mom go through it 3 times, I knew I had to be proactive to possibly save my life. Dr.Apostolides came highly recommended by women in a Facebook support group and by other scripps hospital doctors who were familiar with his work and said he was the best for

I have a beautiful flat stomach and almost all of my stretch marks are gone

I had my tummy tuck done almost 5 months ago now, and the results are unbelievable!! Let me start by saying that I've had 3 C-sections and a hysterectomy. My body was completely trashed. My expectation was just to have my clothes fit better.....Wow! I could not believe the results! Not only do I have a beautiful FLAT stomach, almost all of my stretch marks are gone ( and my stomach looked like a road map before)!! All of my previous pre-pregnacy clothes fit, and the best part:

Great Experience with Dr. A and His Staff

I will be having a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction soon and my surgeon referred me to Dr. Apostolides. My husband and I met with Dr. A and were very impressed with his professionalism, background and experience. He showed us before & after pics of cancer patients who had reconstruction and were amazed with his work. His staff at Defy was very friendly and welcoming. I feel very confident in having Dr. A as my plastic surgeon for reconstruction.

Wonderful New and Confident Me

I was starting to feel tired looking. my skin was sagging my chin was no longer tight my smile dropped to my mouth. I wanted to feel better about myself feel more confident and look younger. The proceedure was performed at a surgery center which made me feel very comfortable as the staff was very professional and caring and was well equipped. Recovery was much faster and easier than i expected with no pain. I was out and about with very minimal bruising in 2 weeks time. Feeling
