Dr. Fayazi and everyone on her team was AMAZING. i was nervous about the procedure but she was excellent at answering all my questions and her team did the best job working with my insurance to get the procedure covered. We had issues the week of surgery with my insurance and her team got everything covered before my date. I also had surgery on a Friday and had some questions over the weekend and Dr. Fayazi answered the phone right away and answered all my questions! I am just over a week post op and I honestly feel and look amazing! If I was to do this process all over again I would definitely go with her again!
I finally went on my consultation, I am still waiting on approval. However what I can say is that she was very kind and answered every obnoxious question I had. Made me feel like she's been in my shoes before and she was very informative. Ill be back with updates so far so good!!! Updated on 18 Jan 2019: I got it done 3 days ago. Doc Fayazi is so amazing and understanding very calm she lets you ask any dumb question without making you feel like “i know what I’m doing be quiet” she explained everything and made sure we were on the same page about E V E R Y T H I N G Day 1 and 2 post op is the worst today I’m feeling super peachy but have to take it slow no matter what i feel I highly recommend her and my boobies look amazing lol i was so nervous about the placement of my nipples for some reason and she was very precise with her markings and took her time and now my boobs are GREEEEEAT 10/10
Excellent surgeon. When she walked into the surgical suite the hospital staff became more vibrant and seemed genuinely happy to see her and spoke highly of her work. Her bed side manner wonderful. I always has 9:00 am appts and she was always on time, she would come right in set her belongings down and call me right back.
I went to Dr. Behnaz Fayazi a few years ago to remove keloids from my shoulder and decided to revisit her this year for my breast reduction, since she is the only PS in the area who I've felt comfortable with. My reduction and lift turned out better than I imagined. She did such a great job, I couldn't be happier with the results. I'd do it all over again.
Wanted to do this my whole life. Prayed prayed and prayed. Finally God gave me the courage. Best decision ever made. Don't look u further Dr Fayazi is the best. She will it let you down. I got approved early and I must admit, I'm very glad I did.you will be surprised what You can accomplish with God and faith. I'm happy to be in the other side. Still recovering and I'm super excited. It's day 3 will let u know as I go on
Completely satisfied with doctor fayazi and my panniculectomy results. Doctors hospital staff was beyond phenomenal, they deserve a 10 PLUS... Very impressed and no complaints. I was treated like a star. I Would highly recommend Dr. Fayazi for your surgery, u r in good hands, she cares and she is good at what she does.
I've always been top-heavy. And every year my breasts would grow heavier and heavier. In the last 18 months or so, I've been in such AGONY from back pain, neck pain (spasms) and shoulder pain. I was prescribed muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory meds, and given a referral to undergo physical therapy... all provided nothing more than temporary relief of an even bigger problem. So I made the decision to have a reduction. Surgery was on December 29, 2015. No complications, no pain. With the exception of some discomfort from the swelling and tightness, my recovery was great. I’m almost 2 months out, and the only discomfort I have now is when I roll over on my breasts at times while sleeping. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, but not completely; therefore my breasts have begun to soften and “relax.” Swelling goes away gradually, and works its way down (even into the abdomen area which I’m not too happy about). Additionally, I've gained increased sensitivity in my nipples; although that may sound fun, lol, it certainty takes getting used to. For about a month after surgery I would feel sporadic “shooting pains”… the best way I can describe the pain, is like menstrual cramps in the breasts. They would range from very mild, to OUCH! Now, I rarely have them anymore. Psychologically, the end-result is bitter-sweet, as I miss my breasts... they were part of my identity for so long. Not to mention, although they were heavy and uneven, I thought they were beautiful, nonetheless. At any rate, I’m appreciating the relief of having smaller, perkier breasts. The scaring is significant, as the scar extends under my armpit, but I’m working on that with the use of silicone strips. Updated on 25 Feb 2015: So one of the drawbacks of surgery is skin dryness. I've been alternating between cocoa butter and coconut oil, as the skin on my boobies is very dry and flaky... which I can deal with. The issue though, is that I've started using silicone sheets and in order for the sheets to be effective (and stick to you), they have to be applied to clean, dry skin. **sigh** So now as I'm working on my scar maturation, I have scaly boobies. :-( Updated on 15 Mar 2015: It feels great not to be so top-heavy. I'm wearing two bras though, to give the most compression possible when I workout, as to not "disrupt" anything, considering i'm still early in my recovery. It's amazing how much smaller I look now... When my breasts were bigger I looked so much heavier. I snapped some pics and put them side-by-side with my pre-surgery gym photos... Wow!
I am 33 years 5'6" and 191 pounds. I honestly haven't lost that much weight as I started off between 202-204, but I have seen a change in inches. My bra size is a 36H depending on the store I go to. At Lane Bryant I started off at a 44DDD and after exercising and changing my diet I ended up at a 36H. That was the measurement given to me by Nordstroms. Oddly enough my cup size got bigger AFTER I begin my diet and exercise regime as my back got smaller. The approval process went rather quickly with my surgeon and my PCP was and has been super supportive (I love her!); my family not so much and some of my friends arent too thrilled either. My mom feels like God gave me these and I should be happy with my body, but it wasn't God it was years of Burger King, McDonald's, and fatty foods! :( My surgery is scheduled for August 26th at Surburban Hospital. My surgeon is super cool and super nice. She always answers and has been very supportive of me since I met her. Very encouraging! I little over eager and slightly pushy, but I guess that's her overall personality. She is a techie though and likes to text which I don't really care for because I need phone time and face to face for a procedure like this esp. considering it's elective. I've watched this surgery like a thousand times on YouTube; so much so, that I think that I made myself nervous. I'm starting to get a little scared. I am so tired of the neck, back, and shoulder pain. Thinking of not having the pain gives me the strength to move forward. I want so bad to fit in a shirt without the buttons pulling or a suit that's all the same size. I want to wear a two piece bathing suit (after extreme leg toning - cellulite city!). Or wear a dress that fits perfectly without a minimizer and multiple bras showing. United sent me my approval letter on July 4th and I was stoked! I was a little disappointed after my visit with my surgeon because she said the smallest I would go to was a D, which in my mind still seems large, and I was hoping for a full C. She told me there were legal limits to the amount of breast tissue that could be removed and that she would contour my breasts to match my body proportions. I kind of wish I could lose or would have lost more weight. It has been a LONG time since I saw a C. My doctor said that she tends to leave patients a little on the large size. She showed me a few people that she did and they all looked good except for one, but she freely admitted what she would have done differently. I'm nervous, but ready (I think lol)! My biggest fear is of going to sleep and not waking up. Hopefully, my family will be able to come down, but I'm not sure. My boyfriend and friends will be around, so I'm fine with that. I am most definitely a ball of nerves. I'm going to take a few small vacations in preparation for the surgery. I've taken two weeks off to prepare. I just need my mind free and the nerves gone. Nervous I am!! I've posted a few pics in which I look huge in them all. My surgeon said the scarring is permanent and I'm fine with that and that I may feel zingers and lose sensitivity in my nipples. I'm not sure I have much sensitivity now. They are more sensitive to temperature than anything else. I really don't feel sexy or good about myself. I have become super self conscious in my 30s. I can find fault with everything when I look in the mirror. My friends think I'm going thru something as does my family as I have been on a mission of self improvement. I have braces and having LASIK next. I have a low tolerance for pain in my mind, so between thinking about the sedation and post op pain my nerves are on edge. I've had lots of sleepless nights just thinking about everything. I will keep posting updates and I'm hoping for the best! :) Updated on 1 Aug 2013: I had a lot of trouble adding my pics this morning. Here they go! Updated on 5 Aug 2013: Ok, ladies I have a question. I'm bordline obsessive compulsive about these boobs, but I'm having some fabric cut for a romper and I was doing my measurements pre-surgery to determine my bust size and I used two differen apps that gave me two different crazy sizes and neither is the size bra I have on now. One app said I was a 34N which seems ridiculous and another said I was a 38D. The bra I have on is a 36H. Right now I'm like WTH.......! Updated on 12 Aug 2013: I have been getting my last few workouts in preparing for the big day. I ran a 5K on Saturday and rode 10 miles on Sunday. My entire body hurts bug I'm determined to at least drop a few more pounds before this surgery! Fingers crossed :) Updated on 19 Aug 2013: I am extremely nervous, scared, excited, and ready! I do not like the idea of being under any type of sedation at all, so that's kinda freaking me out. As I think I mentioned before my mother is not a big fan of me having this procedure at all, so not having her 100% support is upsetting as well. I did drop a few more pounds. Not as much as I wanted, but hey I tried. Overall, I'm pleased with my body and ready for this new step and beginning in life. Updated on 25 Aug 2013: Very nervous and very excited! Not a lot of support from the fam, but my boyfriend has come around and been great! I did my final workout today and lost a few more pounds. I can't wait to see my feet!!! Lol! These are some final before pics at the gym this morning. Updated on 26 Aug 2013: Very excited and extremely nervous! My mother spent the better part of yesterday telling didn't need the surgery lol! Updated on 27 Aug 2013: I made it to the other side!!! I did it! It was quite an emotional morning yesterday. I nearly backed out twice due to fear. I had it done and I felt lighter immediately and brave and wonderful! BUT, before I continue I want to say that I believe there are some people on this site that could be inappropriate due to some messages I received in my inbox. Anyway, I woke up at 5am a ball of nerves. Super scared. Very fearful. My boyfriend and I got in an argument over headphones which made me cry because I couldn't believe he would start a fight with me the day of surgery. He was an absolute douchbag to me the entire time before surgery. This sent me on an emotional whirlwind of tears. My procedure was at 1130am, but I got there at 944am. I checked-in at admissions and went back to get prepped immediately. I loved the staff at Suburban Hospital because they were all sooooo awesome! I felt immediately comfortable when my surgeon came because she has a wonderful disposition. I could not have asked for a better team of physicians and nurses pre and post surgery. My mom went back with me to have my vitals taken and change. I cried a lot. This was my very first surgery. There were issues with my IV because my nurse couldn't find a vein. That sucked, but not surprising as this happens often when I have blood drawn. The anesthesiologist ended up inserting my IV. He found a good vein immediately. I was happy about that. Once that was inserted I was wheeled to the operating room and cried again because I had to say goodbye to my family. My boyfriend still gave me the mean face which was very unsettling. Haven't forgiven him for that. I was moved off the bed and to the operating table. I forgot to take off my contacts, so I did that and that's the last thing I really remember. My surgery was rather long and I slept for two hours after in recovery. Thankfully I found this site because everything and I do mean everything that everyone said happened lol! I was extremely sick and dizzy after the anesthesia. Yesterday (operation day) I could keep nothing day. I threw up everything and could barely stay awake. I had a few teaspoons of soup and I threw that up. Crackers and two small pieces of fruit along with ginger ale are the only things that have stayed down. I'm very itchy. My body not my breasts. My parents have been amazingly supportive especially my dad. My mom who was not the biggest fan of this procedure has been wonderful. Even my boyfriend has been kind of ok and came around. Along with my ole bras he gotta go too lol! Moving around sucks life. I'm definitely in pain, but it's manageable. I've taken two pain killers so far. They are not super strong I guess cause I feel everything lol! My breasts are still wrapped up tight, so I don't know what they look since I haven't seen them, but I can tell from my profile in the bathroom mirror that I'm smaller. I'm very excited about that!!!! No photos yet, but soon! I go back to the surgeon on Thursday, so hopefully I will have more updates then :) Updated on 29 Aug 2013: Hello Ladies!!!! This is Day 4! First few days were rough. Lol! I cannot lie. The pain is manageable, but there is some discomfort. I'm off the pain meds. They just make me itch and feel weird. I had my post opt today and got to see them for the first time. They are cute full little perky melons. I love them!!! This is the best decision I've ever made. My back instantly felt better. I'm still walking like baby Frankenstein compensating for the weight that isn't there lol! I'm going to try and get a good shot of them tomorrow when I shower. Still swollen, very light bleeding at the incision, but overall I feel great! There was 500 grams removed from the left and 530 from the right. Still can't believe I did it! Most scariest experience ever! I would totally do it again! So pleased! Updated on 29 Aug 2013: My plastic surgeon was awesome! Her comforting spirit meant everything to me! I think a big part of this emotional yet gratifying experience is the support and network thereof. This site and community of people who faces and names I may never know laid the groundwork for success and helped to manage my expectations before and after. I am very grateful! Updated on 30 Aug 2013: I took my first real full frontal view and I must say I'm really pleased. I'm still super swollen, but very happy. The pics make them look larger than what they are in person, but overall I'm very happy. Once the swelling goes down more I will post more pics. PS said over the next few weeks and months they will begin to take their shape more and not look as smashed in. I still have lots of swelling under the arm and on the sides. Took my first shower and it felt great and I feel clean lol! Thank God for parents for being such a great help to me. Updated on 3 Sep 2013: Today is one full week with the new little ladies. Im more active and walking more. I drove for the first time yesterday and that was awesome! I will be glad when they take on more shape and definition. Im still pretty swollen under the area and I get the zingers a lot. I had a sharp one this morning that threw me off. I can see my feet :) My back feels lighter and I feel pretty awesome overall. Updated on 20 Sep 2013: It's been three weeks. No complications to report. I'm still very swollen especially under my arms. The itching has subsided some as well. Overall my back feels good. My breasts still look box like with the swelling, but everyday it gets better. I came on my menstrual cycle and boy do my breasts feel like ass. They are super tender and hurt like heck. At first I regretted the surgery and missed my big breasts and the attention it brought especially after I went out with a friend recently. Then I realized I was tripping out. This was the best decision I ever made. The shape kind of sucks but it will get better over time and I'm fine with that. I can't wait to get out this surgical bra. It is so uncomfortable and to be able to sleep in a position other than my back. I start scar treatment on Monday and get the tape at the incision area changed for the first time. That should be interesting. I hope it doesn't hurt. I also have a lot of zingers, too. Every time my nipples get hard it's kind of painful, but manageable. Bargain, overall I feel great! No regrets! Updated on 28 Nov 2013: I cannot believe that 92 days have passed since I had my reduction! I could not be happier! Life After - I had some shedding of skin, not near my incisions, but on the actual breast itself. That has since stopped. The surgeon said it was normal. My breasts are still swollen in some areas, but the surgeon said that was normal as well. My breasts are relatively firm but getting softer. I actually liked the firmness and was hoping it would last forever. My breasts were also red for a while and that has gotten a lot better. I've been using silicone strips on my scars. The strips are a little expensive depending on where you buy them. I believe that using them is really helping with the scars (which aren't that bad). Overall, I am very pleased. My breasts are starting to settle (poor word choice lol) and take their form now. The boxey shape is gone. These puppies aren't saggy though and I can go braless which rocks! I never realized how much I loved clothes and buttons.???????? Now that I am free of gigantic saggy boobs I can put a whole mess of everything together and it works! I have added a few pics of my reduced little big ladies as I call them. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Healing! I love this forum. The support I received was invaluable and totally amazing ???? Updated on 5 Jun 2014: Well, it has been almost a year since my procedure was performed and I could not be more pleased with the results. I'm actually scheduled to see my surgeon on Aug. 26th. This was a great experience and I would totally do it again. My scars have healed. My internal swelling is pretty much gone I believe. No pain, no numbness, no lost of sensitivity! I actually gained sensitivity that I did not previously have. The shape looks great! Heck, I even wore my first push-up bra lol! Who would have thought I would have ever put on a push-up bra! Ha! I can wear buttons and clothing with zippers. I can button up all my blazers and close all of my jackets. I can workout for hours on end and have no back pain. I am very very pleased!
I had my TT 12-10-12 and I'm so happy, but I've not had the nerve to look yet. I'm very excited about what the ladies have written on this forum. I can't wait to see my results!! I will post pictures as soon as I get them from the doctors. I seem to have more pain than the average person. I've been on 2 Vicodin every four hours plus the antibiotics. I call my doctor for the first time tomorrow and go back to see her on Monday,7 days after the operation. I have had this belly my whole life and can't believe it's gone. Go for it ladies, it's worth it!! Updated on 14 Dec 2012: Today is PO day 4 and everything feels good except I'm really itchy, and its driving me crazy. I got my first shower yesterday and a good look at myself. I'm happy except it looks pretty bloated. I'm hoping that goes away. Updated on 14 Dec 2012: I am a larger lady that's had a TT. Right around 215 lbs. Anybody else with that experience? TT was on Monday 12-10, and I'm thrilled so far. I'm getting my breasts reduced in about 6-8 weeks as part of the same package. I hope that's not too soon. Doctor is leaving it up to me when we do it..
Hey everybody I'm getting breast reduction surgery next Monday (10/24/11) . Words cannot describe how I'm feeling. I'm 18 years old, and I started growing boobs when I was 9. Now I'm a fully 38DD and I'm only 5'3 and my weight is 120. I've always hated my self for having large breast. I feel so insecure and have very low self esteem . My dad felt my pains but couldn't do anything because he has no money and also bad credit for loans. I thought I would never get rid of my large breast. To make a long story short, I decided to try my insurance but many people told me that the insurance hardly pay for this procedure. I was discouraged. But I still went ahead and talked to my primary care provider. He told me flat out that the insurance would not pay for it and that I was wasting my time. I was discouraged again . But still I asked him for a referral to go see a surgeon . He gave it to me and there I went. I explained to the surgeon my situation and she perfectly understood me. I told her I'm also interested in joining the military right after high school. So she file a claim to the insurance she also included my symptoms, me wanting to join the military . She did tell me that I might not get approve because I don't have any documentation from physical therapy , or chiropractor . Anyways she did file, and exactly three days later , I was Approved. I was mad excited. My insurance ends in two months so I schedule the surgery right away. Insurance paying for it 100% I'm lucky. I'm on Medicare ( priority partners ) . I just have one question. What can I do to reduce swelling , and recover quickly so that I can return to school because I'm taking two weeks off . Thanks for reading. Updated on 28 Oct 2011: SO I AM OFFICIALLY FIVE DAYS POST OP. AND OH MY GOSH I'M SO HAPPY I DID THIS. I HARDLY FEEL ANY PAIN ANY MORE, AND MY BREASTS ARE HEALING GREAT. THE HARDEST DAY WAS THE DAY AFTER SURGERY. BUT THINGS ARE GOING GREAT. I STILL HAVE SWELLING OF COURSE BUT I CAN CLEARLY SEE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I AM GETTING READY TO RETURN TO SCHOOL IN ABOUT A WEEK. I HAVE A LOT OF MAKE UP WORK TO DO. BUT I REALLY DON'T MIND RIGHT NOW BECAUSE MY SURGERY IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. IF THERE IS ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT HAVING THIS PROCEDURE, STOP ! THINKING ! AND ! JUST DO IT ! ...IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. FORGET THE PAIN THAT'S WHY THEY WILL PRESCRIBE YOU PAIN KILLERS TO MAKE THE PAIN BEARABLE. I HATE FEELING PAIN BUT I DID IT. SO IF I DID IT, THEN ANYBODY CAN DO IT. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE MY INSURANCE PAID FOR EVERYTHING 100%. AGAIN BEST DECISION EVER. AND TRUST ME I'M 18, MAKING BAD DECISIONS IS MY SPECIALTY.
