David Otterburn, MD

I had surgery last week with Dr Otterburn great doctor I had fat transfer to my left breast after a lumpectomy he did a great job , am very happy I chose this doctor , I would recommend this doctor to any one I give him 5 stars!

Tomorrow is my big day! No pun intended. As I prepare for this new chapter in my life -- relearning to love my new shape -- I celebrate my body as it is. I did a photoshoot embracing my beautiful 34HH breasts - check it out!  Updated on 16 May 2015: 2 days post op! Please let me know if any of this is normal for healing process: bloody nose (my nose isn't running blood but there is so much dried blood in my nose. I'm wondering if it's from the tubes during surgery) itchy and sore stitches stomach gas (I was warned about constipation. I haven't had a bowel movement yet and it is hard to pass gas). tight chest (I expected this) Other than the few healing side effects, my spirits are in a good place :-). I have my follow up appointment next week. Updated on 27 May 2015: Swelling has gone down a teeny bit. The soreness has stopped a bit. I just get these annoying shoots of pain. My Doc says it's my nerves rewiring, My right breast has a weird lumpy shape around the nipple but my dr says it will settle into a normal appearance over time. Anyone else had that issue? The other pain I deal with is from my sutures under my breasts. I can't wait to get those out. My Dr. removed the nipple sutures last week. There was some glue left on my breast and I washed it off over a few days with the help of neosporin and bacitracin (alternatively -- not together. you can use one or the other. no need for both) Also, sooo over wearing a surgical bra. I guess I'm so excited about smaller breasts that I'm anxious to go braless lol. One last thing: I am super bloated! I thought I had gained a ton of weight from being so sedentary these past few weeks. Turns out many people get big bellies after surgery. Not sure why. I saw a forum on RS and others, and plenty women said they had "pregnant-looking" bellies after surgery. I hope the tummy goes down soon!
