Dr Earl performed my breast reconstruction after double mastectomy. I think having him as my PS was one of the luckiest things that has ever happened to me. My recoveries were easy, he encouraged physical activity (I would have gone crazy not exercising for 6 weeks like some doctors advise), and my results are beautiful! I didn't think my breasts would look half this good after having a mastectomy. He and his staff are so nice, and really made the whole process easy. I had expanders placed over the muscle immediately after mastectomy, and swapped for implants 3 months later + fat grafting.

As much as a like the work that they did, Dr Earl was rude , they try to up sale you on anything. when you come for a first visit they take your pictures and then you spent 30 minutes with a sale rep trying to push a procedures on you that are pricy and not needed before they assign a dr for you :( I want return

My breast reduction is tomorrow! I had a TT 10/2012, which is fully documented on this site! I am now ready for my BR. Been wanting this for soooo long, and I cannot believe tomorrow morning is the day!! I have been lurking for about a month now...I will update as soon as I can after surgery! Thanks to everyone for sharing their story! Updated on 25 Dec 2014: Hi everyone! So glad to be on the healing side of this! Apparently my tolerance for anesthesia is diminishing. Spent the day of surgery vomiting profusely! No fun! My husband is a saint! I had my first post op visit yesterday, and 1 day PO. I have felt NO pain whatsoever in my breast area. I have not taken any pain meds. PS said he is shocked that I don't have any pain, but very happy. I got to see the finished product, and first words out of my mouth were "Aren't they cute??!!" Due to the minimal drainage, I got my drains out as well. I didn't even feel it! Yay! I was cleared to take a shower, actually encouraged to do so. So I will tackle that today! I am having a hard time sleeping, and I don't know why. Last night I finally propped myself on my side and was able to get a few hours in. I have NO pain in the breast area, but my neck, back, and stomach are sore as can be! Stomach is from coughing so much due to the breathing tube during surgery. PS said that should subside in 1-2 days. Before surgery, the anesthesiologist explained that I may have to unexplained muscle soreness after surgery, due to one of the medications he uses for anesthesia...succinylcoline. So taking a few tylenol and using a heating pad for that. I was told NOT to use ice on my breasts, as ice inhibits blood flow, and blood flow is needed for healing. It's interesting to hear and read so many different opinions on here. I've read so many people are told to use ice. I will post some pics very soon...I'll take some when I take my shower! Merry Christmas to all of you!!
