Amazing experience with both Dr. Sadeghi and the staff! I came in to get body contouring and he was patient and knowledgeable during my consultation. In addition the rest of the staff was very kind and informative. They all put me at ease on the day of surgery. I’m only one week out and already extremely happy with my results!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2021. Dr Sadeghi was recommended by my oncologist. Since then I have had four reconstruction surgeries with Dr Sadeghi. My last surgery was at his new surgical center on Metairie Rd. It was definitely the best surgical experience I have had. His staff is so kind and they did an outstanding job. Dr Sadeghi is a perfectionist and that's exactly what I needed! Thank you Team Sadeghi!
Dr Sadeghi and Jessica took great care of me! I had 3 rounds of Morpheus8 4-6 weeks apart on my neck and chest. The results are what I was hoping for: tighten jowls, neck and smooth sun damaged chest. The procedure is not pain free but they took every step to make me as comfortable as possible. The new building is beautiful and conveniently on Metairie Road.
Always grateful for Dr. Sadeghi’s calm manner, ever-evolving approach, and precision. I found him after I was deformed from a botched breast lift. I was so embarrassed to take off my top that I began to sweat. He was kind. He handed me a towel and distracted me with a joke. There was no judgement, just a plan to reconstruct and regain confidence. I still love my results and recommend Dr. Sadeghi to everyone.
Great experience, office is clean and beautiful, everyone very friendly and professional. Dr Ali did a fantastic job! Most definitely will be returning for my next Botox. Thank you all so much for taking Covid precautions, and making me feel and comfortable.
He is a very kind and soft spoken physician. I am only one week postop explant with lift and so far am very happy with the results. I initially had a breast aug in 2011 with two additional revisions due to the double bubble effect. The double bubble always came back. Starting this year in early February I started suffering from an internal itch deep in my left breast that I attributed to the implant. Initially I thought it was due to birth control and then moved on to thinking it may be breast cancer but thankfully had a negative mammogram and then had a consultation with Dr. Sadeghi and he expressed it was likely due to the implant. The surgery was 3 hours and cost $11,237. For reference, I am 34, 142lbs, 5'7, 36DD before explant and am now 34B post-OP. I opted for the lift because I have one child and nursed for a full year. Updated on 1 May 2019: I failed to mention I had 390cc silicon implants as well. When they were explanted they were pretty clear and not ruptured. I cant believe they weighed 1lb 11ounces. I am so glad they are out of my body.
Just an all out AMAZING doctor. Very professional & precise in his work. He's focused and strives for excellence. He's very patient also. I'm sure I've tested that. I'm so thankful that I crossed paths with him. He made me feel whole again. I will be forever thankful!
I have a cookie cutter story like many of the profiles I’ve read. I’m 31, married and have 3 kids. The youngest is 3. I’ve always been flat chested and have researched breast implants for 10 years. I’ve called around to multiple surgeons and not many of them seemed right for me. Many of the ones I spoke with had a routine way of doing things; i.e. Always under the muscle, high profile, a certain type of implant. I wanted to find a surgeon that could be flexible and offer the best options for the what I had in mind. I’m a very active person. Always active with the kids, home DIYs and working in the yard and adventures. I haven’t wanted my placement to be under the muscle because I don’t want my boobs jumping and twitching with everything I do. I finally settled on a doctor who specializes in breast reconstruction. His work gives him a lot of know how to present options instead of giving me only one way of having my surgery. All my research points me to preferring subfascial. Placing the implant under the connective muscle tissue giving me decent coverage of the implant, less risk of capsular contracture than subgladular and a more natural, breast like slope. The doctor has agreed to this position but recommends I have fat grafting to help cover the edges of the implants. I have little breast tissue and a bony frame. I met with my doctor for my first consultation back in March earlier this year. My pre-op appointment was last Wednesday December 12th. I have complete confidence in my doctor’s ability. I’ve seen his work with his reconstruction patients and my surgery should be just as amazing. I’ve spent the months gaining weight to aid the fat transfer as per doctor request. My surgery is booked for January 2nd and I’m finally allowing myself to get excited! The bruising from the lipo suction is going to take several weeks to resolve. I’ll have to wear a full body compression outfit to keep swelling down and everything back into place. Subfascial implant position should be a quick recovery since my pec muscles will not have to expand and make room and not have to heal from the muscles being sliced. This is also the reason I chose this time of year to have my surgery because sweating with a full body compression outfit and surgical bra would be torturous during a summer in the south. Not to mention sweating increases ones risk of capsular contracture. I have my kids spending time with grandparents for the days and nights of recovery after my surgery. Thank God for my family! Updated on 19 Dec 2018: I could barely fit in an 32A before kids and breastfeeding. After was like a joke. Mostly I wear sports bras and stuff the heck out of a bra to fill out my clothes. I looked for stats and measurements in other profiles I’ve followed in order to get a better idea of the look and size I would want to choose. So mine are: 125 lbs 5’7” Pear shaped body type; I gain most of my weight in my hips and thighs 32A/AA very little breast tissue Breastfeeding I was maybe a B cup 12 BWD (breast width diameter) My doctor tells me my breast measurements are pretty symmetrical. I specifically asked if I have a slanted rib cage or anything that may result in implants being placed differently from each other or one implant being larger than the other. He doesn’t believe so but adds he’ll see when I’m on the table the day of surgery. Updated on 19 Dec 2018: The highlighted sizes are the ones the doctor will have on hand the day of my surgery. Updated on 19 Dec 2018: I wanted to include some pictures of me in clothes and everyday kind of shots to get a body type perspective. Updated on 19 Dec 2018: I explained to my doctor that the look I’m going for is slope, close together and flat pancakes when I lie on my back. Something as close to ‘natural’ as I can get with fake boobies. I went into my consult with the idea of low to moderate profile and that subfascial gives the best ‘natural, fake boob’ look ;) I’ve heard some women describe the look I’m after as a kind of ‘hang’ look. My doctor explained that the gap in between will have a lot to do with how he creates the pocket. I added that side boob shouldn’t bother me but I’m really aiming for a wide, flat look. If that makes any sense to any one. Hopefully these pictures will give an idea. Updated on 27 Dec 2018: I’ve read others’ reviews about the wait before the big day and they’re all right. It sucks. Updated on 31 Dec 2018: Anyone else having surgery on Wednesday January 2nd? I’m looking for some surgery sisters who wanna chat. I called my doctors office about anxiety over my size choices. Will I have the ball on the chest look? Will it be too small and I’ll regret not insisting on a bit more? So much research and so many numbers swirling in my brain, it’s hard to imagine what I’ll look like on the other side. It would be nice to have a Fast forward button right about now. Happy New Years everyone!!! Updated on 2 Jan 2019: In and out of sleep and a bit sore but I’ll add more of an update later. After some sleep, I can focus a bit better. Updated on 2 Jan 2019: I woke up in sore pain from the lipo in my thighs. Dr. S suctioned my abs, obliques and thighs to have enough fat for the transfer. He said about 70% of the fat injections should stay but I can’t remember which sizes implant he was able to squeeze into the pocket. I plan to call the nurses station tomorrow and have them go over everything with me again because I am so loopy from being half asleep! My IV line had the standard antibiotics, anti nausea and pain meds. All given intravenously. Honestly the lipo is the biggest soreness for me. The nurse warned me that I would feel like I’d been in a boxing match. I’ve never had the pleasure of being in a boxing match but Lawd I am sore. I am oozing from the cannula sites of the lipo and have had to change a couple of pads but other than that I haven’t seen a lot of bruising. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Walking around seems to help so I walked my neighborhood street this afternoon; about 4 NYC blocks. I’ve been drinking lots of water and have gone to the bathroom several times now to pee. My incision sites are sore as well but I can raise my arms above my head! My skin actually also feels soft I’m guessing from the fat injections around the upper pole of my implants and breast area so that’s exciting. I anticipated my skin and breasts feeling like a couple of hard rocks! I started with a protein and fiber smoothie from smoothie king, fell asleep and then had an apple with peanut butter. Fell asleep again and just finished a bowl of chili. I don’t have any diet restrictions. My nurse said to eat what ever sounds good and I can keep down. From what I’ve read, Day 2 seems to come out of know where and kick your ass so I’m setting alarms to make sure I take my meds. I’ll see what all this morning boob talk is about hope my meds stay on top of whatever pain is to follow! Any advice for Day 2 Ladies?! Updated on 5 Jan 2019: Everything was so itchy! I couldn’t wait to jump in the shower. My husband helped me wash my hair so I wouldn’t have to raise my arms too high or too long and he scrubbed my back. What a hunk ;-) Washed my lipo garment and bra while in the shower and enjoyed being free of them for an hour. I’m still very surprised at how little bruising I have from surgery. I give my doc kudos for that amazing work! My breasts did feel heavy like I hadn’t felt since breastfeeding. That engorged feeling when you need to grab your baby and nurse for half an hour :-0 I’m very impressed with how my skin is handling things though considering how small chested I was before. I’m using bio-oil after each shower to keep any stretch marks at bay and taking all the vitamins and supplements my Nurse recommended. I feel pretty good and only took 2 Percocet yesterday instead of one every 4-6 hrs. I’m thinking today is a good day to start alternating ibuprofen and Tylenol. I’m still not doing any chores or lifting beside heating my leftovers in the microwave and dressing myself. Thanks for reading! Any thoughts or advice?! Updated on 10 Jan 2019: This was ‘snip and remove sutures’ day! Most spots were easy but my left breast ‘healed so well’ that my skin had actually grown over the suture and the presented a problem :-0 ouchie wawa. The nurse did put numbing cream after realizing that one would present a problem, all last night I could feel some pains in that breast even though it was mostly numb. I took a couple Ibuprofen last night, but that’s a 1st since day 3. Today I feel much better! No lingering pains or soreness. None of my other sites presented a problem. My lefty seems to be my stubborn child during this process. It seems higher and not dropping like I’m seeing on my right side. Thinking about it now though, my kids always favored my right breast when I was nursing so it’s probably more stretched. I got new steri strips under both breasts. Nurse told me those will fall off by themselves after a few showers and not to pull them off myself. Lipo sites are kind of sore still but only when I’m massaging those areas with lotion can I really feel anything. Even though the bruises look worse, they’re not more sore than last week. I’m still very impressed that my stomach and back have no bruises at all! Those areas feel sore like they’re bruised even though nothing has presented. I will be able to pick up more than 5lbs after next Wednesday, so one more week. Grocery shopping will be easier to say the least. This is still the time period, obviously, when it’s a no-no to workout, but I have been stretching with a few yoga poses just to give my muscles and back something! I highly recommend it, but check with your doctor or nurse of course. Overall, I’m feeling really good! Getting up in the mornings with the kids, getting them ready for school is pretty easy, but do feel tired earlier in the evening than before. My body is healing and I’m listening and taking a nap when I can. My appetite is back to normal! Drink lots of water, ladies! It helps with energy and digestion. Washing and drying my own hair. Pants are a bit difficult with this garment I have to wear so mostly I’m wearing dresses and skirts with only 1 pair of jeans that suffice. I’m sleeping on my side because my back is still not comfortable for me. I can feel the skin stretching over my sternum as I turn to my side so I have to position myself a bit before I’m comfortable to fall asleep, but it’s still better for me than my back. Thanks for reading! I hope you all are doing well in recovery! Updated on 12 Jan 2019: Last night my oldest was a little too excited and forget to be gentle with mommy. He jumped in my lap and I had an audible “AH!” And he started crying :-( If I hadn’t been massaging my own grief I’d have been more with it to comfort him. Messaging and reading other profiles and ladies, I’d decided to talk to my children about me having surgery. Not a lot of detail, but the basics. Mommy is having surgery on her chest. It’s not a big deal. I’ll need you to hug me gently. Etcetera. So it took me a couple minutes to recovery before I could address him and let him know I’m okay. So a couple hours later, I’m lying in bed and my lefty, the victim, feels like the skin is getting tight. My mind naturally starts to race and I google ‘Hematomas after breast augmentation’. At the very least, I know what to look for and at the moment I can assess my current state and put my mind at ease. Needless to say, it took me a bit to calm down and drift off to sleep. Nothing seems worse for the wear this morning; no bruising, fever, sharp pains or swelling. So I think I’m good, but I’ll call my doctor’s office Monday to confer with them. I’ve read a couple reviews where a hematoma after surgery presented, but can anyone give me any extra info I may not know from google and haven’t yet read???? Thanks again for the advice ladies! Updated on 16 Jan 2019: So far so good! Using camis with built in shelf bras instead of my surgery bra and that has made a huge difference in how I feel; more normal instead of ‘just’ cut open. I am free to do normal activities and lift more than 5 lbs so I immediately got to vacuuming since hubby has been overwhelmed playing mom and dad. Subfascial healing is a lot quicker from what I understand and I agree that I have had more energy recently and I’m glad to get back to my routine. I still have another week with my compression garment and I will not miss it when’s it’s gone. It would probably be okay for a few hours like spanks, but constantly is a different story. It is basically ass less chaps. There is a sizable whole for me ‘to do my business’ as my nurse explained. I haven’t thought to post a picture of it until now. So if anyone is thinking of lipo, this is basically your ball and chain for like 3 weeks ;-) My left is still higher and tighter and obviously more bruises than my right. I can also feel more restriction in the tissue when I use that arm to reach for things. Time will have to stretch it out. I still love my choices for my surgery and I’m so happy I’ve finally done this for myself! Updated on 17 Jan 2019: Still trying to figure out how to work this app My apologies :-( Updated on 17 Jan 2019: Updated on 23 Jan 2019: I started to post a little earlier and screwed something up so I’ll be making this one a bit short and sweet. I finally pulled off the steri strips tonight in the shower. Those little buggers were like ripping off a really good bandaid! My left is still needing to stretch some more. I can see the mondors cords that everyone talks about when I stretch that arm and try to take a peak at my incision. I’ve never known what real boobs feel like but these are definitely squeezable! I don’t see my doctor until next week. Updated on 24 Jan 2019: Didn’t add pictures yesterday. Sorry about that :-/ My bruises are really close to being completely gone and all my incisions and lipo marks are healed over. No scabs or open spot from spitting stitches or what not. I’m feeling really good. I hope I’m cleared to work out next week at my appointment. My muscles are feeling neglected. I’m also officially done with my lipo garment. It’s a great landmark week! I hope you’re all doing well! Thanks for reading and any advice! Updated on 1 Feb 2019: I had my appointment yesterday and have been released from any restrictions! My doctor seemed really excited with my results so far. I have to say I am too! I don’t have to go back until I’m 6 months out. So the end of June. I’ve started looking through bras and bathing suits. I am NOT ready for this! Ha! I have so much adjusting to do. I went from nothing to apparently a 32D! Every time I looked down at my chest, I’m thinking whoa boy I need to find something bigger with more coverage. LOL It’s like having long hair and then getting a hair cut into a bob or pixie cut! I’m going to have to adjust mentally to these girls for a while. I’m going to try to find some before pictures and post comparisons soon. For now, most of my bruising is gone. A couple of light spots but pretty much 100%. I’m getting back into my normal routine and saving some money for some new accessories! If you can’t tell, I’m Very excited :-) Have a great weekend Ladies! Updated on 1 Feb 2019: I forgot to add pics of my legs! Bruises are completely gone and I’m adding scar cream to my lipo incisions sites. I circled the incisions, just in case. Some places are still a bit tender, but nothing that is slowing me down. Updated on 5 Feb 2019: So I’m seeing a lot of ladies shopping and getting new lovely, lace accessories, but I haven’t gotten there yet. I’m still trying to figure out what fits what size from which store. I laugh at myself thinking how new this is to me. Anyways so I dug out my old bikini from before kids and put it on. Yes I said before kids. It’s that old ;-) Ladies... I can’t believe how flat I was :-0 After kids, I’ve mostly worn a one piece just so whatever I’m carrying, kids/bags, doesn’t pull my suit sideways and expose what little I had. Now... I find myself looking at adore me.com, soma.com, j crew and target for all the 2 pieces I have never been able to wear! But now I can! My credit card is gonna cut me off at some point probably :-/ Being measured a 32D bra size sounds HUGE to me, but I’m so glad it’s not ‘boobs in your face!’ big. Maybe I’m wrong, these girls are growing on me and I feel more proportional. Being flat chested made me appear REALLY skinny and people had remarks for that. I HAD to wear a bra to get some kind of form and feminine appearance. Now I feel like I’m balanced and it’s... nice. Updated on 15 Feb 2019: Not much has changed recently. I think my slope has smoothed. I’m wondering when the feeling under my nipples is going to return. Can anyone tell me when their numbness went away? I ordered a couple bras from Soma; 32D. I’m not ready for push up bras yet. I feel pretty substantial as it is now. I’m not sure how much to splurge on bras yet. I’m concerned that my fat transfer retention may slowly decrease as time goes on. I haven’t had to buy any bigger shirts either, which is a big plus. Scars are healing well and they sit perfectly in my crease. They’re still pink, but smooth. I’m using scar cream from my doctor’s office and silicon tape that I found on Amazon.com. Thanks for reading and have a good weekend, ladies! Updated on 23 May 2019: Sorry I’ve been sort of MIA, but I think my girls have settled in very nicely. I am pretty sure I have lost the volume from the fat transfer. I’m disappointed, but half expected this to happen. I can see some rippling when I bend over near my breast bone. I’m not upset though since I figured this would happen given the placement and my body type. I’d still do the same process again if given the choice. I am so happy I don’t have any animation deformity that I seem to notice a lot of other women have now that I’m paying attention. The animation deformity would dry me crazy and since I can only see rippling when I bend over and without a top/bra, I am still so happy with my outcome. I am excited about bathing suit season! I’m still not too flashy (personal choice). I like my girls to blend in rather than push up and you can see that from my pictures. The bathing suit in the picture is JCREW 32D and xs bottoms. I like this underwire style the best. As for bras, I’m still wearing 32D as well but I am starting to try 32C because I may be a small D or large C. I’m more comfortable with my girls sitting nicely rather than spilling out though. Thanks for all the comments and ok update again soon hopefully! Updated on 29 Oct 2019: Time is flying by! How have you all been doing?! My girls have settled down nicely and the rippling I spoke of before has not gotten worse that I can see. I’m still very happy with my placement choice and would do it all the same all over again. I’m finally expanding my bra collection now that I’m comfortable that not many changes are happening now. My skin has stretched and settled and slowly changed over the last few months. They look smaller in some of these pictures but I still ooze out of some of my bras lol My wardrobe size has not changed which is exactly what I was looking for in my outcome. I wanted my top to match my bottom and I think my silhouette is nicely accented. I wanted to include some different poses so you all can see how the gel behaves without a bra lying down, on my side and so on. My profile over all I believe still looks the same. Maybe it’s the camera angle, but in a couple of shots my nipples are totally not straight. Asymmetry bothers me lol so I’m trying not to think about it! Feedback time! Let me know what you think! Updated on 29 Oct 2019: Forgot to add this video :-/ I always found videos helpful and wanted to pass this along for others.
Dr Sadeghi is a wonderful, methodical, and brilliant Surgeon. His calm demeanor keeps the environment relaxed as it can be very stressful to go through any type of surgery. He did an excellent , througho job on my breast implant removal. As simple as this procedure may seem, I went to two other Surgeons for consultations and they were not as detailed oriented as Dr Sadeghi. Dr Sadeghi was the only Surgeon who was taking my implant removal seriously. He did an outstanding job and his staff is fantastic as well! They are polite and very knowledgeable*. His office is nice, clean and comfortable. The Surgery Center, Houma- is wonderful too, very good Staff and Anesthesiologist, Board Certified as well. I didn’t get sick/Nauseous post operatively at all. Thanks DrSadeghi, you and your team are top notch**!
I highly recommend. I had my breast implants removed, a breast reduction, & a breast lift in a 2.5 hour surgery. From consult to finish, I was VERY pleased. Dr. Sadeghi is a perfectionist & I'm very grateful to him for my beautiful results!
Yes. This is an extremely powerful way of reconstructing tubular breasts. You can achieve improved breast size along with Contour and fullness.
Thank you for your question.The time required for a bilateral DIEP free flap during a prophylactic mastectomy can vary based the time required for the mastectomy and for the reconstruction. In experienced hands, barring any complications, this operation can be done within a 5 hour window. Longer surgical times are associated with increased recover time and slower return to daily activities. Good luck with your surgery
Thanks for your question. With a DIEP flap an insignificant amount of fascia MAYBE removed and the closure of the fascial (Anterior Rectus Sheath) will cause minimal tightening of the lower abdomen. Usually during a second surgery to correct of scar position of the DIEP donor site, any bulges in the abdomen are addressed and a full plication will be performed in possible to restore the abdominal wall integrity and core strength.Hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. At this time the top implant manufacturers have met the FDA guidelines for breast augmentation and reconstruction. In my practice I use Allergan and occasionally Mentor implants. Smooth round implants work the best if place properly.Hope this helps.
Thanks for your question. Fibroadenomas are generally benign lumps in the breast that are removed with having to do a mastectomy. If the breasts are deformed after removing the fibroadenomas then breast reconstruction can be utilize to restore the breasts.
