Amazing surgeon, Dr. Kobiena is fantastic.
Dr Kobiena is fantastic. He did my breast reduction and even got insurance to cover it. He also did breast reductions for my daughter and a friend. We were all very please with the results. I'm so glad I got the reduction done and wish I'd done it years ago. The size and shape of my breasts is perfect for my body now and my clothes fit much better.
Exceeded my expectations, amazing results!
I am so thankful I saw Dr. Kobienia for my breast reduction. He made me feel so comfortable about the entire process and was empathetic with my decision to undergo the procedure. He took his time with me and answered all questions I had. The results are amazing and I am so much happier thanks to him and his wonderful staff at the hospital. My recovery has exceeded my expectations and has been quite painless. Thank you Dr. Kobienia for your amazing work and lovely personality!
Mommy makeover success!!

Too Big, Tired of Them
I want to wear clothes I like, not ones that I have to wear to hide my chest. I have a few cute outfits that would like so much better if I had smaller breast S. Working out makes me go through at least 2 extra bras a day (3-4 total) extra laundry ugh! I can't wait for them to not add wardrobe and health issues to every day life. I am a little scared, but so ready for this! Updated on 7 Jun 2017: Mammogram tomorrow to send with Prior Authorization, crossing my fingers this

Breast Reduction Review - Edina, MN
I'm 35 years old, one child, size 12, with a 36H bra size. Not only were they huge, the right breast was significantly larger than the left, i had overly large stretched out areolas, and they were saggy and hung straight down. Due to the physical problems of having large breasts, my insurance covered the surgery. I will continue to update this with more photos. Updated on 19 Mar 2017: Still having a lot of pain, and am totally exhausted. Updated on 23 Mar 2017: My incisions
My family has referred to the generally large breast size on my mother's side of the family as "The Family Curse". There are 4 females in my mom's generation and 10 female cousins in my generation. Of these 14 women, I am the third to have a breast reduction (One aunt did as well, but it was because of breast cancer). I finally decided to go through with the procedure when a good client of mine went through it and was beyond elated about it. The first step was finding a surgeon.
I had kids on the late side and really wanted to breast feed, so the reduction got put off for a long time. After my last baby, I wanted to get down to a healthy weight before the surgery...but it wasn't happening, and I didn't lose any breast tissue once I stopped breastfeeding. My sister told me that I should just do it, and the timing was right. I scheduled a couple of consultations, and scheduled surgery ASAP. I am too tall and they were too saggy to have it covered
I am hoping to feel relief from my neck, shoulder and upper back pain. I've considered this surgery for years and only now got up the nerve, because my 21 year old daughter is having it. I am extremely nervous and worried about all of the things most people having surgery worry about. Being put under, complications, infections and not being pleased with the end result. Updated on 14 Sep 2012: Yesterday I was able to speak to someone really helpful at the insurance company

Breast reduction - my boobs are mismatched
I decided I wanted to get a breast reduction as I was a DD/ DDD -they were droopy & 2 different sizes. I went to Dr Brian Kobienia as he took my insurance. He was at Edina plastic Surgeons and my friend had saw another doctor at that office. He was very nice seemed to know what he was talking about so I scheduled the surgery. Things went well., At my follow up appointments I asked if my breasts were two different sizes? He said it’s too soon, it’s how I slept, it was my salt
Office Review: Horrible customer service - Edina, MN
I had called July 2nd to make an appt. and did so, for a consult on cortisone shot. ( had rhino done in March ).The woman told me that she would email paperwork and set appt. time. I didn't see the email come through so, I called back hours later (same day) . The woman Gloria was obnoxious and rude. They lost my appt., asked me my name and bday 5 times . Asked where did you get this number? I said, RealSelf - " Hmmm. I've never heard of it" I said, well, I'm a a member had surgeries
