I've been plagued my ENTIRE life with back and neck pain due to my Heavy Breasts. Dr Goldberg and his Staff put me at ease from the Beginning to the End of this Surgery. Dr Goldberg explained every step he would take to reduce the size of my breasts. He was VERY thorough with All of my Follow up appts. I would HIGHLY recommend him.
I lost nearly 100 pounds after having gastric bypass in November of 2012. Even when I was young and thinner, I never had a flat stomach no matter how many crunches I did. In 1999 I had some surgery to remove cysts from my ovaries and had a cut similar to a C-section and in 2003, I had an emergency C-section where I was cut up and down. My stomach was doomed. After losing the weight it was very unattractive. I decided to do something about it. I had a consult with Dr. Andrew Goldberg and decided to have it done. I had it on January 22 and though less than two weeks out, my stomach is flat and I am happy. The pain wasn't that much worse than both of my surgeries that I had previously. I am considering having work done on my back and arms. I am so glad I did this!
I lost over 100 lbs. Multiple pregnancies and surgeries had left my abdominal muscles very weak with a lot of excess skin. I looked like I was 6 months pregnant. Dr. Goldberg's work was nothing short of miraculous. The results FAR exceeded my expectations. My stomach is completely flat and tight. I did not think this was possible. In addition to being highly skilled, Dr. Goldberg is incredibly patient and kind, very reasonably priced, and extremely fair. I could not have asked for a better experience or results. Go with Dr. Goldberg, you will not be disappointed!
I started developing lumps in my breasts which started to protrude and show through my shirts. It wasn't until these lumps were sensitive to the touch that I decided to get some medical advice. The issue was gynecomastia. The cause of it was unknown for me, but there are a number of causes out there. This is when I started to do some research and discovered Dr. Goldberg. My insurance would not cover it because it wasn't a medical condition, but the pain the lumps was causing was beginning to become unbearable. My 2 year old would jump on me and bump my chest, making play time with him very uncomfortable and unpleasant. The lumps were removed and I am completely happy with the result. I do not have any more pain in my breasts and there is no sign of any lumps through my shirt.
Very pleased with the injections - the volume provided a little lift to the lower face. Dr. Goldberg did an excellent job with the injections - just the right amount in the right spots. I went to work after the procedure - very little swelling or bruising. Definitely worth the cost, would highly recommend.
Dr. Goldberg did cosmetic surgery on me. Right from the start he and his staff were extremely helpful. The results were outstanding to say the least. He does several follow up visits to ensure that all is right. Also he was priced 3K less than Life Styles lift and he performed more work. This man is a true professional and you cannot go wrong entrusting him with your medical needs.
I have always had excess fat around my chest area and under my arms. It made me feel less masculine and I was teased about it in high school. I was self conscious about taking my shirt off as I felt abnormal. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. Finally, at age 48 I decided to have something done. After consulting with Dr. Goldberg, I scheduled liposuction and breast-bud removal. Dr. Goldberg did the procedure in his office and he was FANTASTIC!!! I cannot say enough about his professionalism and how painless the procedure was! The wonderful results from the procedure coupled with some work in the gym and my physique has been transformed. It has changed my life! Everyone comments not only on the change in my body, but the change in me. My happiness and confidence is through the roof. It wouldn't have been possible without the expertise of Dr. Goldberg. If you are considering a procedure, go with Dr. Goldberg; you won't be disappointed! If I ever have such a need again, he's the ONLY Dr. for me!!!
Staff very accommodating and friendly, I was very pleased with my results and would recommend Dr. Goldberg's practice to any one. Dr. Goldberg has good bed side manners, he is gentle when doing the injections and the ice pack nice afterwards. It was easy to call and get an appointment but it was difficult to find parking in the afternoon.
Disappointed with the outcome. No "lift" just stretched skin to the side and stitched around ear. Looked a little better for about 6 months then returned to original condition.The surgery clinic was absolutely awful, especially the anesthesiologist. His bill said I was in the OR for about 2 hours longer than I was. If you use them, bring a witness. Goldberg is nice but isn't up on better approaches.
Breast implant surgery is major surgery and you should have some post op evaluation to make sure that you are healing properly. I often see my patients twice during the first week and then every one to two weeks till the initial healing has completed. They will then return every few months for further evaluations. This allows me to address any issues with infection, bleeding, implant malposition if it occurs. If you feel that there is a significant difference between your two breasts your implants may not have settled or they may be malpositioned. Either way your surgeon should evaluate you in person and suggest appropriate treatment.
The shape and volume of a breast implant can be a difficult decision. Realize that there are no standard bra cup sizes so a C cup in one brand may be a D cup in another bra. The best way to obtain a result that provides your ideal shape is to discuss your concerns with your board certified experienced plastic surgeon. Try multiple size and shape implants and listen to the advice from your surgeon. Going above or below the muscle does not significantly alter the volume of the final result. Realize that 30cc is just 2 tablespoons!
Thank you for your question and photos. It appears as if you have a large amount of excess abdominal skin and perhaps a ventral hernia or significant separation of your abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). If this is the case an abdominoplasty would provide a great deal of improvement. You should have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine your best treatment options.
Most patients do extremely well after abdominoplasty procedures. You will have an abdominal binder to provide additional support, perhaps a surgical drain to remove excess fluid, and instructions to avoid heavy activity. A week off of work is usually sufficient, and a month off of heavy physical activity is common. Discomfort is handled by oral pain meds and sometime valium to reduce muscle spasms due to surgical repair of your abdominal muscles. You will most likely see your surgeon on a frequent basis till you are well healed. If you take the time to be in your best physical shape prior to your tummy tuck the post operative experience will go much smoother.
Tummy tuck procedures will remove loose skin and tighten the surrounding tissues. If you have stretch marks in the involved area they will be removed along with the excess skin. The stretch marks in the surrounding areas will be improved due to skin tightening. Laser resurfacing, especially fractional technique, and BBL treatments for redness can improve the appearance of your stretch marks without surgery but will not remove them completely. Discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with both approaches.
