Having received his training at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Biswas is current with many advanced surgical techniques in plastic surgery.
I'm a 28 year old female, 5 ft 9 about 155 lbs and started growing breasts at around 11 or 12. I fluctuated in weight drastically from being overweight to underweight before I finally found my average and my breasts reflected that. I was a 34 F before surgery but my left breast was probably a full cup size smaller and my right breast being bigger hung lower with a lower mammary fold and was wider as in it extended back to my side a little more. My nipples both pointed downwards, my breasts moved into my armpits when I layed down and I had terrible sagging and excess skin in the center of my chest that I could drag my finger upwards and catch it on. Because of the size and sagging I felt that made me look much older and matronly even though I dont have kids. I had my consulatation with Dr. Biswas about 2 months before my surgery as he and his team basically helped me put together a case to get my surgery approved by my insurance and in the end it got approved which was amazing. I met with his all female staff who were very sweet and helpful and they took care of most everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible to include taking the photos to go with my case and basically saved all the "uncomfortable" stuff for the very end which I actually very much apprecaited, so basically by the time I met with dr. Biswas it was straight to the business and measuring and expectations. Dr. Biswas was very knowledgable and straight forward with his expectations which I LOVED but he does it in a very inviting way that doesn't feel intimidating or off putting by any remote means. I had all my questions answered, he brought in his laptop when I requested to see before and after photos, he was more than happy to go grab it for me and spend time with me during my consultation showing me the photos, and he showed me clients with MY body and breast type to compare which was so incredibly helpful and insightful. Surgery went amazing from start to finish and I am about 2 weeks post op and I adore my new size and how I'm progressing. I dont have before shots of my bare breasts but I hope my description was adequate. The pictures I'm including now are from my 1 WEEK FOLLOW UP. There are indentations from my tape and compression garments but you can see how fantastic they turned out!!! I'll continue to update here but I honestly am so happy I only regret not getting it done sooner. I dont know my cup size just yet but I'd say I went from a severely asymmetrical and droopy F cup to around a c? I'll update when I get measured and do scar updates and all that as well. Updated on 6 Oct 2019: Hey just checking in again! So I'm 3 weeks post op and I had my stitches and steri strips removed just the other day and was approved to go ahead and start scar therapy if I so desired. My healing and scarring is progressing reeeeeally well but I'm going to be helping it along with some silicone scar sheets and silicone gel until my next follow up and then for 3 more weeks after that. I havent had any complications, I have full sensation in both my nipples, the only thing I have going on right now really is some numbness in the top inner portion of my right breast which was the bigger of the two but that numbness is fading and I was assured its normal. I'm gonna be posting an impromptu before and after of my breasts in clothing just to give you guys an idea of the size difference and I'll give another update after my next follow up to show how scarring is progressing cause I know it helped me a TON seeing others results and what to expect. That's all I got for now! Updated on 13 Oct 2019: Alright so about 4.5 weeks post op today, I go in for my 6 week post op follow up in a week and a half or so and from there it'll be a 3 month check up and then a year check up. Boobs are doing great! I still have numbness in my right breast on the inner portion but it sort of goes in and out at times and it will start to tingle and itch a little when the feeling is trying to come back which is wierd lol but I've been massaging the tissue on both breasts which seems to help. Both nipples still have full sensation. I currently have silicone sheets along my incisions to help with scarring and they stay on pretty much 24/7 and they last a week until you have to hand wash and let them air dry before reapplying and each sheet lasts 2 weeks, so that's what you see in the photos. With the aereolar incisions I've just been cleaning and applying silicone gel that I massage in and then they're good to go as there is still some leftover scabbing from where my stitches came out. Overall I've just been keeping everything clean and moisturized and doing light massaging whenever I can to keep the scars soft and to help with blood flow and so everything can settle. Im still wearing sports bras/compressed wireless bras 24/7 of course cause my boobs are like play dough and are still taking shape. I also had questions about how much was taken out and I actually found my OR report so I can finally answer that question lol. In the end after all was said and done 425g was removed from the left (which was my smaller boob) and 622 was removed from the right (which was my much bigger, wider boob that extended back towards my side). My doctor checked for symmetry several times throughout my procedure and stopped when it was felt "no more could be removed without compromising blood supply to the tissue and areola" - which I felt was super important to note/share here because I know alot of women would like to go down to a b or an a cup coming from an f,g,h, or I etc etc, and this hopefully helps you understand why it may not be possible in just 1 procedure, some people have to do it in stages and have 2 reductions. But anyway, I love my new size, I'm happy with how my healing is going and I hope this has helped someone! I'll check back in after my 6 week follow up! Updated on 18 Oct 2019: I'm right about 5 weeks post op and I decided to do some window shopping trying on things I have NEVER been able to wear before. Because it's hot year round where I leave swimsuits are always out so it's almost impossible to resist the temptation yknow lol. Before I used to damn near cry trying to find swimsuits. I'd be sweaty, frustrated and sore from trying to tie the straps a million different ways and as tight as I could physically make it to tell myself it could work but I was never comfortable in anything and I'd have to keep an eye on my boobs the whole time. Eventually I just resorted to sports bras as semi tops which is not cute lol. I tried on about a dozen tops that all layed perfectly on my boobs and none of the straps dug into my neck or sides and there was no spillage from every direction. I finally felt what people with normal perky boobs felt and I could not stop staring at myself lol. It was UHMAZING!!! I also tried on as many strappy dresses and backless things as I could find and was having my own little fashion show. It's insane that what used to be such a horrible, infuriating experience turned into something so simple and easy and fun?? To go from having to wear heavy duty double sports bras that would have me covered in red sore Mark's and sweat alllll day to buying right off the rack 6 dollar hanes wireless bras in a medium and KNOWING it will fit is insanity for me but here we are. I'm gonna hold off on getting officially sized for at least a few more weeks but I know I'm ecstatic with where I'm at no matter what the numbers say. Updated on 25 Oct 2019: Hello again! I had my 6 week post op appointment today and I was cleared to resume all normal activities! Baths and swimming were cleared, just lots of sunscreen on the scars of course. I'm big on working out so I double checked and asked if pushups and running were good to go as well and the answer was yes, but to listen to my body and let it gauge how intense I get as I've been limited for 6 weeks so of course jumping back into things would feel a little uncomfortable at first since I'll be moving in ways I haven't with my new boobies and waking up muscles that havent been used that same way in over a month. I'm still using my silicone sheets and gels on my scars and they're coming along nicely. I included pictures without the sheets on so you can see how they're looking, right after a shower where I actually went over my breasts with a soft washcloth to help with alot of the dry skin I've been having on the actual tissue part of my breasts, not the nipple/areola or scar area, but everything around it. It definitely helped with the itchiness I randomly get. As you can see I still have a scab or two around my areola from there my stitches came out 2 weeks ago which I'm letting fall off on their own. I'm still massaging my scars which are all pretty soft and flat on the surface, but I'm gonna share all the stuff I've been using for my scars/healing and get into more detail in another post just in case anyone wants to try and see what's helping me. That's all for now! Updated on 28 Oct 2019: I just wanted to share what I've been using to heal my scars so far and what I honestly feel has helped tremendously with the progress I've got so far. Of course I'm still fairly new into healing and have a way to go but I feel like I'm well on my way and don't see anything concerning this far into my healing. 1. Lots and LOTS of water, about a gallon every day. 2. Daily Womens Multivitamin w/focus on hair, skin and nails. 3. 1000mg of Vitamin C daily-its vital for collagen synthesis and theres lots of research on vitamin c and wound healing. 4. Collagen Peptides daily (bought at tj max also available online) 5. Silicone scar removal sheets 24/7 on my long scars to moisturize the scar and protect it once stitches and scabs are gone (the brand I like is aroamas-theyre thick and very sticky and you get 1 free with a review) theres LOTS of research about silicone and scar healing. 6. Medlines Skintegrity Wound Cleanser-I cleaned around my steristrips with this and when allowed I cleaned my breasts with this after every shower and dab dried with paper towels (kinda like you would a tattoo.) 7. Z-Scar Silicone Scar Gel 3x daily around my areola, and when changing out my scar sheets once a week I massaged with this gel as well. Along with those few things, I massage my scars as many times a day as I can in small circles both over my bra, over top of the strips, and when I take the strips off. I wash with dial gold antibacterial soap whenever I shower. I stay mindful of keeping strain off my scars so I limit certain movements and things when I can. And that's pretty much what I've been doing thus far. I did empty that z-scar gel and have moved on to trying another product, which I've seen some good results with but I want to make sure of it before I share. I'll give you guys an update at my 8 weeks post op on my scars and 2 week trial of the other product. That's all I got for now! Updated on 8 Nov 2019: Hey there! Just checking in at 8 weeks post op! Updates: I'm able to sleep on my stomach pretty much comfortably. It's not painful it's just a wierd sensation to get used to. My boobs would pretty much just squish this way or that before and now they're so firm I get wierded out by the pressure lol! I sleep on my side 99% of the time and still wear my bras of course. I haven't gone a day without one, I just wear the least heavy duty one at night. The product I tried for 2 weeks in my last update was Cicatricure and tbh I didn't see much change after the first few days even applying it 4-5 times a day (so obnoxious.) It's basically mederma and has a slight onion smell I wasnt fond of so I say dont waste your money. I've been getting alot more random zingy pains since I started working out and lifting again. Even when I'm not doing anything, they're coming more frequent and sticking around longer so sometimes I grab and hold my boobs without thinking even in public or at work lol! Working out feels pretty good though, some movements I have to get used to again, and doing bench waa definitely a struggle going back down to baby weights but I don't wanna do too much too soon and I was hella sore the next day. I've started getting slightly thicker scars, not visually on the surface, but on my sides and in the center of my chest when I rub those scars I can feel almost like a small ropey/cable type feel under my skin. It literally feels like a piece of charger cable is under my skin when I press. I've started focusing my massages there and some days they're softer than others but I'm just gonna keep massaging so they stay soft and hopefully I break them up enough that they go away but I'm gonna ask my doc about it. Other than that I'm still pretty much on my same regiment of products other than the wound cleanser that's finally used up. When switching out my silicone sheets I started trying to go 24 hours between changes and just leave them bare so my skin can breathe, and I will say I definitely don't like the feel of clothing rubbing on my scars without the silicone sheets as the buffer. It causes more zings and pin prickles here and there. Todays photos include how they're lookin in bras and bare. Still not doing underwires of course. I wear medium in the wireless bras. Happy healing all! Unless I've got important news I'll update again at 12 weeks! Updated on 3 Dec 2019: Hey ya'll! Here's my 12 week update with lots of photos of course. What's new: Swelling continues to go down, I dont feel like my boobs look like implants anymore which I'm like 30% sad about lol! I'm running again and it feels AMAZING! I totally understand people who like running now, it feels so much free-er. I wear my best sports bra and a compression vest so theres no bouncing. I feel like I can run forever! I can now comfortably sleep on my stomach, I dont feel that wierd pressure any more. That numb spot I mentioned a while back on my inner right portion of my boob is now tender to the touch and hurts if I press so my nerves are starting to fire back on slowly but surely. 100% feeling in both nipples and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get em pierced when I'm fully healed. My scars feel much softer, and when I run my hands across I can barely feel anything there. That "charger cable" feeling under my skin is down by 85% after I started getting more aggressive with my massages. I was just using the pads of my fingers at first but then I moved to using my knuckles and big differences happened after that. Again it was only on the inner chest portion and along my sides and now it's mostly just the inner chest that could still stand to go down some more. I think that's because it doesnt get much compression throughout the day unlike my sides which are pressed down by my sports bra (which is good for flattening scars) so I resorted to rolling up a sock and sticking it between my boobs in my sports bra for the day while I'm at work, and it sounds funny but it works!!! It was like a night and day difference when I started doing that. Other than that it's mostly just color changes to my scars going on right now and keeping everything going I guess. Scars go from purplish to red/pink and then to white eventually and I'm in the purple/pinky stage. The time of day and what I've been doing makes them darker for that time being but I know they're on their way so I just trust the process. I still do silicone strips 24/7 as much as I can basically. On run days I take the strips off and massage with palmers skin therapy oil. I prefer the palmers to bio oil just because I personally already know that palmers works really well for my skin so I just stick with that. It makes my skin really silky soft and it smells like hot chocolate. I started doing the oil instead of silicone gel just to try something new and I've been pleased so far. I took some close ups of my scars this time around so I can compare further on down the road, and also a bunch in cute bralettes I could never wear before just so you guys can see how they're sitting. I think they're perfect and I adore them! My follow up appointment with my doc is in January so that will probably be my next post as well, but I'm always lurking on here checking out other peoples progress and journeys and I'm an open book so if you have any questions feel free to shoot! Hope you guys have happy holidays!! Updated on 15 Dec 2019: Hey all! I got ahold of my before and afters I figured I'd post here for you guys! I didnt have any before pictures of my own that showed off how truly disproportianate and awful my before breasts were. Just looking at my before was making me cringe that I had those on my chest and how much of my torso they covered!! The afters were taken at my 6 week post op I believe. They were still pretty boxy and hadn't settled in as nicely as they are now.
Once again I used dr. Biswas and his staff for my breast reduction and my lift and again I am totally satisfied. Dr biswas is a wonderful man and I couldn't recommend anybody else. He is always available to me and continues to provide great care to me. He is my forever surgeon.
I absolutely love dr. Biswas and his staff. I am extremely needy and I would consider myself quite annoying however they have handled me perfectly and always got back to me immediately if I had any questions. Dr. Biswas is a phenomenal doctor and highly intelligent. He is very comfortable to be around and is very passionate about what he does. I highly recommend this doctor.
My experience with Dr. Biswas was the most amazing thing I could ever express...ever!! His skills as a surgeon are amazing and his staff in his office are so welcoming they made me feel comfortable throughout the my entire experience. Through my research for my procedure I had the opportunity to see post operative scars that made me wonder why people would ever put themselves through such torture. Dr. Biswas made me look absolutely AMAZING!! He gave me my life back!! I am so glad I chose him!
I wanted to share my journey with Biswas Plastic Surgery. I had a tummy tuck performed by Dr. Biwas in June 2020-after carrying children and becoming a mom, I was eager and SO ready to get back to my before stretch mark look, which Dr. Biswas assured me would be accomplished through a tummy tuck. It has now been almost 2 years since my procedure, and it has been a traumatizing and highly disappointing experience. Within a week of having my procedure, I sent Dr. Biswas photos of my belly button expressing concern that it was not healing well and did not look "right"- (pus, discharge, ooze), to which he assured me, it was simply healing and would be fine. It became apparent quickly that my belly button was anything but "fine" and after severe redness and scar tissue that did not fade months later, Dr. Biswas performed a "belly button revision"-which again, he stated was very common. Again, the belly button had the SAME horrible red, raised scarring. In spring of 2021, Dr. Biswas said that best course of action was to inject the area with a steroid. This unfortunately only made the belly button significantly worse, breaking down large areas of skin surrounding it. In the fall of 2021, I expressed my continued concern and growing despair about my belly button with Dr. Biswas and we discussed having yet another belly button revision, to which he stated that now the skin is SO thin around my belly button, a revision would not be successful. He advised me that laser treatment could work to reduce the red appearance and texture of the skin, so I started treatments through Sue in their office. Sue tried 3 different lasers and ultimately decided that IPL treatment would be the best course of action. My last (of SEVERAL) laser therapies (which were NOT improving the skin in any way) in early 2022, left me severely burned with one large and several smaller blisters (see photos in comments). I sent photos immediately, to which Sue AND the Dr. said to just "use Neosporin and let it heal." I also spoke with Sue via telephone @ a later date to cancel a laser treatment I had made prior to the burn, and she said that the area is most likely "just done" and won't respond to the laser/it could be potentially making the belly button worse. After letting it heal for months, I am now left with MORE scar tissue from the laser therapy that was recommended to me. Recently, I reached out to Dr. Biswas again to let him know that I was unfortunately left with no options with him/their office (as he had said the belly button is too thin for another revision and the laser was ineffective/made things worse). I expressed that I would like my money refunded, as I will need to seek care with another surgeon to have this corrected (in addition to the belly button disaster, I also am still left with the stretch marks I had initially had the surgery to correct) I also stated that I found it necessary to share my experience with others, so that they could have the information I desperately wish I had had prior to investing my trust, time, body, and money and choosing him as my surgeon. Dr. Biswas' wife and main office contact, D'Arcy, responded to my 2nd written correspondence (after I did not hear from the doctor for several days), stating that she "refuses to have an open line of communication" with me. Only then did she provide me with Dr. Biswas' direct email, to which he did respond, stating that a refund to get care elsewhere was not an option, stating specifically that "results are highly variable" and sometimes do not "meet SUBJECTIVE expectations (please see photos in the comments of the work that was done and my current results 2 years later). He also stated that he is "inclined to think" that I "misinterpreted" hearing that nothing more is able to be done for me and that he doesn't know what has happened that would "merit extortion and reputation damage" (simply by posting my experience and true representation of my tummy tuck). After 2 long years with one major surgery and multiple attempts to correct what was done to me, I am now left MORE scarred and distressed than when I started. To those searching for a surgeon to invest in your well-being and those striving to get the results you so desperately want and deserve- please let my experience help you BEFORE you sacrifice your very real time and money only to be so much worse off.
