I never imagined I would pursue elective aesthetic surgery, but after seeing how profoundly a breast lift improved my sister’s quality of life, I decided to explore whether it might be right for me as well. When I began looking into options, I wasn’t even sure where to start, but Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons had been recommended to me years earlier by my dermatologist for a minor surgical issue, which gave me immediate confidence. I underwent a mastopexy (breast lift) with Dr. Bailey, and the experience has exceeded my expectations. My breasts have always been on the larger side, and I was never comfortable with how they naturally sat on my chest — I relied on underwire bras for support. After losing about 20 pounds, the sagging became more pronounced, with more breast tissue resting against my torso. While I was a candidate for both a lift and an augmentation, I wasn’t particularly interested in implants. What stood out most was the thoughtful, patient-centered approach throughout the consultation process. Dr. Bailey took the time to understand my goals and encouraged me to start conservatively with a lift alone. I appreciated that the focus was on what made the most sense for me and my long-term satisfaction. His level of care never decreased through the entire process, and his surgical skill was as excellent as his humanity. I am incredibly happy with my decision. My breasts feel lifted, supported, and tightened, and the results look natural and aligned with exactly what I hoped for. This was a deeply personal choice — one the outside world doesn’t see — but at this stage of my perimenopausal journey, the difference in how I feel in my own body has been truly astounding. From consultation through surgery and follow-up, the entire clinic staff has been exceptional. Annie was an incredible support throughout the process — always responsive, patient, and reassuring. Surgery day was seamless, and the nursing, anesthesia, and medical assistant teams made me feel calm, informed, and genuinely cared for. I’ve since returned for facial care with their master aesthetician, Madi, which has been wonderful, and I look forward to exploring additional treatments in the future. Worth It: Absolutely. I would make the same decision again without hesitation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Bailey or Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons to anyone considering a mastopexy or exploring aesthetic care for the first time.
