Dr. Sorensen and his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with, from the initial consult all the way through my final post-op appointment. I'm very pleased with my surgical results and am thankful I chose Dr. Sorensen as my surgeon!
Really good so far. His bedside manner is great, he's kind and gentle. The staff are sweet as well. He got me in in less than a week after my first consult for surgery. I was panicking and he was gracious enough to fit me in the day before so I could as questions, even after being late when he was supposed to leave (I'm an EMT, there was a wreck in my way in, couldn't just not help). Day of surgery he made a bunch of marks, reminded me of an artist, very methodical and careful. Because I really had no control over what I was getting due to the shape and tissue amount of my boobs, I'd have to trust he knew what would look right. I will say he pretty much nailed it, I'm not too big, not too small. I'm only 5'3 and my chest is narrow. Looks good, I can't wait to see what they look like 6 months down the road. Updated on 26 Sep 2018: Tons of pain today. Doctor met with me and said they are healing really well and is impressed with what a good start they are off to. I will meet with him next week to check out healing again. My left breast looks different than the right, bigger and nipple is pointing out more. Hopefully that changes. I'm wondering if I should have gone bigger. I hope I'm happy with them, I'm very particular, especially with what I think a womans breast should look like. Patience I keep telling myself. Updated on 26 Sep 2018: After seeing pictures standing up I think I like them a bit better. I have to accept my breasts will change and swelling will go down and trust the process. Even my belly is super bloated and uncomfortable. Updated on 28 Sep 2018: Looking a little better today, a little bit of bruising, pain is a little less. Wishing I went a little bigger, maybe with the drop and fluff it will look more full because mine are sitting really high right now. I fit into my old padded c bra so I'm really hoping it doesn't go down in size, I would be really disappointed. Was hoping for a small d and a little bit more cleavage, but I have to appreciate that they do look natural and well shaped. Guess sometimes you don't really know what you want till you actually have it done. Stomach is still super bloated, wondering when this will subside... Updated on 28 Sep 2018: Forgot to post the before pictures. My breasts have always been shaped like this since a teenager. Obviously breastfeeding 4 children didn't help with volume, thus leaving me with sad looking breasts. Updated on 30 Sep 2018: Last night I ran a low grade fever. My belly and breasts were hot and I felt like I was getting a cold. My breasts felt so tight, like they were going to explode. I was worried I was getting worse but decided to sleep it off. This morning I decided to take some tramadol to help my breasts relax and I really think it helped. Left breast seems like it is getting more even with the right, but is still fuller. I bought a comfier bra to wear sometimes which helps with the pain. I'm starting to lose some of the bloat in my tummy finally... I can't wait till I'm looking better Updated on 30 Sep 2018: The scarring looks pretty good so far. I'm confident the healing will go well. I'm hoping for more side boob and cleavage, which I think may happen as they drop. It helped to pull up the breast tissue over the implant to visualize what they will eventually fill out and look like. Updated on 1 Oct 2018: My favorite sports bra looks amazing now. I took the underwire out so it doesn't cause issues, but it still looks great. My breasts seem like they are dropping little each day. Not sure if that's a good thing or will mean they will be really low later. Sleeping is still uncomfortable, driving is hard, but pain is manageable. Updated on 2 Oct 2018: Feeling finally came back on the left side of my chest, now if I even brush my finger across it feels like a sunburn, but that's too be expected when the nerves start working again. Right breast is feeling pretty good, just feels like pre pregnancy soreness. Finally had a good bowel movement today after eating an entire box of cereal lol, but hey, mission accomplished! I'll be glad to be off antibiotics tomorrow, they really messed up my stomach. Have a follow up appointment with ps tomorrow, will update on how healing is going, which I am guessing will be good. Updated on 4 Oct 2018: Looks the same as last time, however my appointment yesterday went well. Dr. Said im healing really fast and I will be cleared pretty quickly. I'm allowed to shower now which is nice. He removed most of the tape and recommended I not put anything on the incisions yet. It's glued and stitched right now, so that should hold up nicely. Updated on 8 Oct 2018: I'm really pleased with how well my incisions are healing. Every day the pain gets less and less and I can almost sleep laying down. I decided to wear an underwire today as it isn't bothering my incision at all and strangely feels more comfortable than the regular bras. I'm excited my shirts and bras are filling out nicely, I can't wait till they fully drop and fluff, they will look amazing im sure! Updated on 9 Oct 2018: Going through boob blues. I keep seeing all these wonderful pictures of women with big round beautiful Victoria's secret breasts. I look at mine and wonder why mine aren't full with lush cleavage. I heard this is normal to feel sad, regret and out of sorts. I hope it passes. Added to that, there's a crease under my left breast, I really hope that doesn't get worse. Today I saw the chiropractor who said the lump near my sternum was in fact the head of my rib sticking out. He says due to some sort of inflammation in the cartilage, it is causing the rib to be pushed forward. It hurts like the Dickens, but at least he got my back feeling right again. Hopefully this resolves soon. Updated on 11 Oct 2018: Gosh, the boobie blues are real. Today I feel okay though. I have been struggling with being happy with my breasts due to one being smaller than the other, not as full as I'd like and nipples being a little low. Haven't really found a bra I like that makes my boobs look amazing, I think part of that is my armpit fat and back fat is spilling out. I wish I would have gotten them liposuctioned or something. But today, I like how my boobs look braless in shirts. A positive as well is my sternum- is healing as well as my nipples look almost brand new. Updated on 15 Oct 2018: I went bra shopping and tried on some costumes I was creating. I bought a new corset that looks amazing with my new boobs, so pretty happy about that. Have an angry scab on my incision, but some neosporin should fix that, otherwise healing is going well. Right breast still smaller and so is nipple. Not sure if I will get it fixed. We will see what they look like in a year. Updated on 23 Oct 2018: I did some before and Afters of drop and fluff and wow, I can't believe how much mine have changed! Some days I love them, some days I struggle, but the before and after helps a lot. Finally feeling more back to normal, just some nerve pain and one stubborn incision spot, but looks good otherwise! Updated on 30 Oct 2018: Some days I love them, some days not so much. Halloween was great for showing them off, I had a blast. There's a spot under my left boob that doesn't seem to want to heal, I'll talk with doctor tomorrow about it. So far I'm wearing 32dd to 32ddd. Wondering if that will grow or shrink as the boobs change. I'm not sure I want them to change unless they are going to get bigger. Really feeling I should have gone 400cc. Updated on 2 Nov 2018: I'm losing some weight, I hope I don't lose any breast size. I now can feel the ripples of my breast implant around the bottom and sides, I wonder if that's normal. Still feeling I should have gone bigger but as I lose weight it may make them look bigger, so I won't say anything yet. Updated on 7 Nov 2018: Put nipple piercings back in. I had them done 15 years ago so they stayed open nicely. Boobs are really uneven in a few photos, right is smaller, thinking of talking to doctor about fixing it. Hopefully he won't charge me for a whole new one. The right was originally smaller and I feel it should have had more CC's. Updated on 8 May 2019: My nipples stretched out quite a bit and I'm sagging badly. Dr agreed to a revision. Pain is constant in my left chest, has been there since day one, I think something is wrong with the muscle. I have hypertrophic scarring and scarring from my wound that didn't heal. My left breast sags to the side when laying down and the right is smaller. Overall, this didn't turn out like I thought it would. Hoping a revision will fix these things.
What an amazing experience! I had previous implants (9 years old) and had a capsular contraction on one of them. I went in with the intention of getting replacement implants and a lift. Dr. Sorensen was very honest in saying I would not need a lift once he replaced my implants. I am so happy with the results. They look better than they did originally! Dr. Sorensen and his staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was super casual instead of the usual stuffy atmosphere. Very happy!
My experience with doctor Sorensen was great, he listened to my needs and wants and gave me the boobs I wanted and are perfect for my body shape. I am 120 lbs have 2 kids and I never had boobs so decided to get them done and now I have the boobs I always dreamed of! I got 445cc UHP Silicone, round smooth implants. Very happy with my results, now I feel more confident and like a woman!
I had bilateral breast mastectomies at 42 for medical reasons. Both of my implants ruptured! My breasts looked like a horror movie. Dr. Dean Sorensen replaced with new implants, very minimal scar and little down time. I value and trust his expert hands. His staff was attentive and informative. I am thankful he put me back together and I again feel pretty ????
I gave up my boobies so my children could have all the benefits of breast feeding and now it's time to fix the damage. I am tired of feeling like I'm 65 when I take my clothes off. It's amazing how I kept my face looking young but my body is way over due for some help and I'm starting with the boobies.
I had recentley lost 25 lbs which caused my already child damaged breasts to lose all plumpness. I had really wanted to have breast augmentation but after getting married in February I decided it was something that I wanted to get serious about. My husband agreed so I went online to research Drs'. I saw that Dr. Sorensen had great reviews so we made an appointment for a consult. I was so pleased with the atmosphere and positive attitude of the office. We decided right there that we wanted to go through with the surgery...it was booked for two weeks later. Any time I had questions about my upcoming surgery I called and bugged the girls...but they were so helpful. I had my surgery on April 4th and have had no complications from the surgery. Everything went as expected. Dr. Sorensen and his team explained everything to me before the procedure so that there were no surprises. I'm so happy with my implants!!!
Dr. Sorensen and his staff are first class. I needed breast implant replacements due to a car crash. They got me in right away, we discussed what I wanted and a week later I had new implants even better than what I'd had before. He and his staff go above and beyond. I highly recommend him. It was a great experience and I will continue to choose him for every and any other procedures I choose to have done. M. Burns
I have had three pregnancies and six kids (singleton, twins and carried triplets for some friends as a surrogate) and although I have never breastfed, my breasts were def not full anymore. I decided on 500cc, high profile, silicone implants. And luckily I didn't need a lift! It's been 10 months since my BA and I am SO happy I did it. The surgery was so easy. I was out the next day shopping and going out to dinner. And I never took pain pills. My breasts are so full, and they fit perfect on my body. I highly recommend it.
I had my first kid when I was 20. And then at 25 we had twins. The twin pregnancy really stretched my stomach out, and even with getting the most fit I had ever been (16% body fat, 125lbs, and 5'2) I still had extra skin on my belly. And then at 29 years old, I became a surrogate for some friends. Triplets! I had the triplets in November of 2016. I got back to my normal weight, got super fit again yet still had the extra skin. I ended up getting breast augmentation in march of 2016 thinking that would make me feel better about my stomach but it didn't. Although I loved everything on my body, I still hated my stomach. Finally decided I had to have a tummy tuck even though I was terrified of how painful the recovery would be. I have had two c-sections and the pain was just terrible! I had my tummy tuck January 3rd of 2017 and let me tell you, EASY! Honest to goodness it has been a breeze! I quit taking my pain pills on day three, had my first bowel novenent on day three, and stood up straight on day 10. Had my drains removed day 6. And now I'm almost two weeks post op and feel almost 100% back to normal. I am 100% happy with my results. My surgeon did amazing and transformed me. I have never felt this good in my body and I'm still swollen so I can't imagine how much more I'll love it after the swelling goes away. My word of advice to anyone considering a tummy tuck: do it! You won't regret it. And do not let other women's recovery horror stories influence you. I almost canceled my surgery bc I read so many stories about how awful the recovery was. Mine has been seriously easy! I kid you not. Best decision ever! Updated on 17 Jan 2017: I'm 14 days post op today and cannot believe how good I feel. I am recovering really well. And I seriously LOVE my new stomach. I still have some swelling but it's going down more and more each day. I'm so happy with my results. If you're in the Boise area, I highly recommend Dr.Sorensen. He honestly nailed it! I told him I wanted an hourglass shape and he did just that. And I love the belly button he gave me. I've seen some weird ones so I was a little stressed about that, but the one he gave me is absolutely perfect! I feel so sexy and so much more confident. I can't wait til I get the okay to start running and lifting weights again. I can't imagine how much more awesome I'll look in a few months, especially a year from now once it's all healed. Best decision I've made! So worth it. Updated on 22 Jan 2017: So tomorrow I will be 20 days post op from my full tummy tuck. I go in for my post op appointment. Saw my surgeon say after surgery, and then week 1. Tomorrow marks 3 weeks. I'm so obsessed with my new stomach. I feel great. Like I've said in my other posts, this was such an easy surgery and recovery. It blows my mind. I just wish I could hit the gym already and take hot baths, but I'll see what he says tomorrow about that. I feel really thin in the mornings, and as the day goes on depending on how active I'm being, my stomach swells quite a bit. But that seems pretty normal. All in all I am 100% happy with my results and I think my surgeon does amazing work.
You do have excessive projection of your nose from your face and this could be improved as well as the bump removed with reduction of the bony and cartilaginous dorsum of your nose. Your nose is wide and requires bony in-fracturing. Your nasal tip is large and tip modification and refinement could be done through an open rhinoplasty approach. If you have any breathing issues then these could be addressed at the same time and insurance coverage might offset your costs. We often find that people have deviated nasal septums, bony spurs and enlarged turbinates that create problems but have been present so long that patients have adjusted to the problems they cause.
You may have a little more swelling than normal following your labiaplasty but I think in two weeks you will be happy with the result.
You definitely need a tummy tuck. Your panniculus is too large and your stretch marks are too severe to fix with diet and exercise. Even if you lost weight you would still have loose skin and ugly stretch marks. In addition. your abdominal musculature would be tightened with a tummy tuck giving you an even flatter appearance.
You have deviation of the long and cartilaginous dorsum of your nose and a large dorsal lump. This could be corrected with reduction of the bone and cartilage of your nose and in-fracturing of the bone to get alignment. You also have lack of supra tip definition and a bulky and amorphous nasal tip. These tip problems could be corrected nicely through on open rhinoplasty approach.
Since you are symptomatic with pain then reduction of your breasts is the best approach. You also have very large areolas that would be reduced at the same time. I would use the vertical reduction approach which will eliminate the long scar in the inframammary crease area that is present with the old standard breast reduction procedures.
