Amazing FTM top surgery experience - I'm happy & comfortable in my body

I had top surgery (chest masculinization) with Dr. Schmidek on March 25, 2022, and my experience has been wonderful. From my first visit, Dr. Schmidek and all of her team were very kind, friendly, and affirming, which are so important for any patient but especially for transgender individuals like myself. Everyone made me feel cared for, and I could tell I was in good hands. I trusted Dr. Schmidek's surgical technique and her opinions on how my results should look, and she listened

Alexandra Schmidek, MD - Breast Reduction

I am 28 years old, 5'3 at 115 lbs. with 32 DD. I have had large breast almost my entire life - which has led to chronic neck and back pain. I finally decided to take the plunge and meet with Dr. Schmidek to discuss a breast reduction. From the moment of my first consult to my last post - op visit, I have never felt more comfortable and supported by Dr. Schmidek and her team at Virginia Mason. She explained and answered all my questions and ensured I understood the outcome. The

Very happy with results!

I am a transgender man and I had periaereola mastectomies with Dr Schmidek on March 28th 2017. My first appointment was in November 2016, and insurance took 4.5 months to process because I am on state healthcare. Dr Schmidek's office, including all the scheduling staff and nurses are wonderful people who took extremely good care of me! I even receive hugs from certain staff members when I'm there! I stayed overnight for observation and had a small complication. Dr Schmidek was

Unbelievably Good - Seattle, WA

With 20 year old breast implants leaking silicone everywhere, I needed to have removal ASAP. Given the choice whether to have implants replaced, I elected to have them replaced in the same surgery. Dr. Schmidek did a fantastic job in complicated procedures. Background: I was over 60 years old, and came out looking as good as I had 20 years earlier.

22 Y/o 5'9 150lbs Breast Reduction 34DDs to 34Cs - Seattle, WA

The whole process took about 6-7 months to get a surgery date worth all the effort and did not have to pay a penny insurance paid for it all, Picture is three weeks post op, so glad I did it one of my breasts were much larger than the other. Still some swelling but happy they are more alike. I had three incisions one around the nipple and down and across the underside, I also stayed overnight and had drains placed which were pulled the next day then I went home overall recovery

Consultation Review: Beware, trans patients!

I met with Dr Alexandra Schmidek at Virginia Mason Plastic Surgery. I was referred to begin the process of receiving a breast reduction to treat back and shoulder pain that is well documented in my medical record. When I met with Dr.Schmidek the appointment did not go well. She repeatedly insisted that reducing my breasts would give me a "disproportionate" and "not conventionally feminine" appearance, even after I repeatedly explained that I wasn't seeking a proportionate or

24 Years Old, 32 G, Approved for a Breast Reduction Finally!

I've been wanting a reduction for a long time. Like everyone else here I developed at a very early age (around 10) and I remember being a DD by 7th or 8th grade :( I started having sever back and neck pain about 2 years ago and decided I needed to do this. After a year of fighting with my insurance I was finally approved and have my date scheduled for next week!! I'm nervous but mostly excited! :) no matter what the outcome is I'm sure it'll be worth it. I'm excited to be proportional

37 Year Old, 2 Kids and Ready to Wear a Bikini Again - Seattle, WA

I am an active 37 year old with a 3 and a 5 year old. I carried very big with both of my babies. My youngest was transverse the entire pregnancy and really contributed to my diastasis recti. Since my two pregnancies, I put a lot of effort into finding clothing to hide my stomach, and I still feel self-conscious. I'm hoping this surgery will be a good solution. I'm very nervous about being able to cope with my two kids, as my husband works a lot and will be traveling the week after
