I recently had a procedure with Dr. Pan, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, Dr. Pan and the entire staff were professional, caring, and attentive. Dr. Pan took the time to listen to my goals and explain every detail, answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Pan made me feel completely comfortable, and the procedure itself was seamless. The recovery process was smoother than I expected, thanks to the detailed post-op instructions and support from the team. My results look natural, and I feel more confident than ever. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Pan. Her expertise and dedication to patient satisfaction truly shine through. I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience and fantastic results!
I have been wanting a breast augmentation since i was 23. I was always barely an a cup and very self conscious of my chest . I knew a couple people that went to Dr.Pan and there results were amazing so i decided to book with her ! The entire process was seamless and recovery has been amazing ! I am 5 ‘8 155lbs and ended up going with 350cc and 325cc. I am very muscular and do crossfit . Now i do love my boobs however i’m feeling like they are to small for my frame . I know i am only 4 weeks post op but feeling like the size is off. Photos uploaded
5’4” and 135lbs from a 32A (maaaybe B) to a 34D to DD At 38 years old…after 4 children…. Significant weight-loss and prior tummy tuck I finally decided to get my breasts done. I had Significant drooping and sagging (effects of weight loss and breastfeeding neither of which I regret). I went with the ideal implant because it made me feel safer that it was saline but had the more natural feel. I ended Up with 540cc along with a full lift. I was afraid of losing nipple sensation but honestly I’m more sensitive even now a year later than ever. I will Say for those of you considering which to go with…. Larger sizes like this don’t seem to feel quite as natural and if that’s important to you…. You may want to lean toward a silicone option. Just my opinion. Dr Pan and her staff were so warm helpful and patient. I did have a minor complication but it was my body doing it’s thing and healing. I will only see them in the future I will never go elsewhere. Updated on 22 Nov 2021: This would be just about a year post op. Honestly I didn't care abt looking fake or not but they rly almost look natural. I couldnt be happier with Dr Pan or my results. They’re better than I even Expected
I finally decided to have boobs :) always wanted them, but was scared of 1. Surgery 2. Possible Side effects 3. Complications But... I decided to take the risk I've had two kids, breastfed them both total of 3,5 years (but I was always flat chested) My height 5'2" Breast size 30/32 AA - A Breast width: 11,5-12 I'm choosing mentor moderate profile plus 225 or 250cc will make final decision of the day of surgery which is tomorrow! I chose Dr Deborah Pan. She's amazing, warm, easygoing, knowledgeable. I felt like I could talk to her about everything. She introduced me to subfascial breast argumentation, I did my research on it (read medical journals, not a lot of doctors in the US perform them) and it is the best way to go for someone like me- personal trainer, who loves active lifestyle and weight lifting. Updated on 3 Feb 2021: I was so nervous!!! But an entire team was amazing. Everyone put me at ease. I told dr Pan to pick size on the operating table either 225c or 250cc whatever will look best and most natural on me :) She did 225cc!!! I literally just got back home :) I will see them for the first time in two days. Post op is on Thursda Updated on 3 Feb 2021: Feeling great. Resting. Dr Pan did subfascial augmentation. Which means I’m not in crazy amount of pain. I’m only taking Tylenol for pain managment. The most challenging thing is sleeping on my back :) Updated on 4 Feb 2021: Bandages are off. Feeling so much better! 225cc everything looks good Updated on 17 Feb 2021: Updated on 21 Feb 2021: This is what they look like when I’m flexing my chest muscles (under fascia placement) and how firm they still are at week 3. But they are getting softer every single day and I feel the difference. Updated on 16 Mar 2021: I’m really happy with my results. They feel comfy, soft, I like the way they look. I’m working out a little, stretching my chest muscles daily. I love my progress
I am still in this journey but so far, I'm elated. Deciding to have a tummy tuck (no muscle repair) and breast lift was a huge thing for me. I never considered plastic surgery and really wanted to be able to change my body naturally. However, after all the weight loss, no matter what I did, the extra skin was not going anywhere. I had a hard time recognizing myself. My body didn't look like how I felt. I was tired of having to hide my "apron" and clothes never feeling flattering. I'd lost so much and was so healthy yet still felt like the fat friend even though I could out run all of my friends. The pandemic made me reflect a lot about what was important. My happiness and being in love with myself was huge to me. AND, it was the perfect time to do it since I couldn't see anyone anyway. The Consult-I sent pictures, the consult itself was a video call. I looked into several board certified plastic surgeons. I had a consult scheduled with another DR but after my consult with Dr. Pan, I knew she was the person I'd use. I chose her because of her history of breast reconstruction for cancer patients as well as extensive years of experience. Also, I looked at countless before/after photos. I asked her about all the "flaws" I'd seen and she told me that she addressed all of them. Things like the fatty upper pubic area, nipples on top of the breast-that kind of stuff. Since I had a lot of extra skin, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to come out with more I needed to have fixed after. She assured me it would all be taken care of. Also, she was very up front about what to expect regarding my own "flaws". She was clear about where I may still have fatty areas to work out the the tummy tuck or breast lift wouldn't address. She sent me a quote for the different options of what I would have done the same day. I also asked a lot of questions about after care since I was driving about an hour and a half to her. She definitely helped me feel at ease about that too. Lead up to surgery Her staff is really helpful. I had one person I talked to, mostly through email, to schedule the surgery, arrange payment, and answer administrative questions. She always responded quickly no matter the method of communication. I had a few questions going into surgery that when I had my face to face with Dr. Pan, she was always patient and answered everything I could come up with. I'm a singer so I was concerned about the tube going down my throat. She said day of surgery, I met the whole team and could bring it up to my anesthesiologist then. She walked me through what to wear, what to expect, how long I needed someone to be around, timelines, everything I could think of. DAY OF SURGERY-Prior to going in I wasn't nervous at all. I had complete confidence in her and her team. Everyone was really cautious with COVID. My driver couldn't stay in the lobby even. They got her phone number to give her any details she needed. I met the whole team and asked all my questions. The nurses were all super sweet. The ONLY time I was not 100% confident was when I asked the Anesthesiologist about the tube in my throat. It wasn't so much a reassuring "I'll do my best not to damage your vocal chords" as a "I won't know until I get in there". I get that it's probably true but I needed the acknowledgement of my worry. Also, the facility folks mentioned their survey like 12 times. I'm like, OK. I'll do the survey! Yes you were great! When everyone went into surgery mode it moved really quick. It was like, here's your IV, here's your sedative, get on the table, and I WAS OUT. Day of Surgery-Post Surgery It's a little hazy. I was very nauseous. I did vomit - it was awful. Also, my throat hurt so much. They kept giving me ginger ale to help but It was just coming back up. Also, I haven't had soda in YEARS so it was weird drinking it but I didn't necessarily care. It was a little hard to wake up but I imagine that's normal. I saw Dr. Pan briefly but I don't remember our conversation. I was definitely in pain but I was so out of it that I just slept a lot. The drive home was painful but sleeping in and out helped. Week 1 Post surgery PAIN - I stayed on top of my meds but the first prescription made me nauseous so she had to send me another one - it was the Thanksgiving holiday and she still helped me out and was quick about it. The pharmacy I usually use was closed so she had to send it again to a different one. The first 4-5 days, I didn't mess around and took the pain meds every 4-6 hours. I had a follow up with her after 3 days. She checked on all the incisions, the drains, overall once over. I slept in a recliner for the first two weeks-pillows under my legs and next to me to support my arms, too. It was hard but there is no way I could lay flat and sleep in the bed. You use your core for everything so any kind of movement hurts. Getting out of the chair, sitting on the toilet, wiping yourself, standing you have to be hunched over so my low back hurt the most. Actually, the most painful thing after the first 4 days was my back. Also, she suggested having someone there for the first 24 hours. If you have anyone or anything depending on you though, have someone with you to take care of everything the first week if you can. I wouldn't have been able to do this without my partner's support. Week 2 Post Surgery Still a lot of pain but more manageable. I still didn't shower until the end of the 2nd week. Baby wipes, sponge baths, and my partner washing my hair in the sink helped me feel normal. The second week, I only took meds when the Tylenol wasn't helping enough. I still had my drains in, too. I had one removed but the other was still filling so it wasn't until the end of the 2nd week that both were able to come out. 3rd week - Post surgery I'm in my 3rd week post surgery now. Both drains are out. I've slept in the bed this week. I still can't sleep on my side comfortably but I do enjoy sleeping next to my love. I got a knee pillow since the pillow were awkward in bed. I am taking Tylenol most often. The incisions are looking great. I'm diligent about using the scar recovery gel. I was worried about the spot where there is a 3 juncture-the wound seems bigger. Dr. Pan assured me that's normal and it will close up soon enough. I'm totally surprised by how well the tummy incision is healing. There are already areas that aren't red. My binder is causing some discomfort on my incisions. If it's not low enough, it rolls up right on my tummy incision. I did some shopping to try and get a "stage 2" garment that's not going to roll. It also irritates my anchor incisions if it's up to high. So, hopefully the new garment will be just what I need. Fingers crossed! EDEMA This week, I've been dealing with Edema. That's when fluid builds up under the skin after the drains are removed. My last drain was removed last Wednesday. By Sunday, I noticed the build up wasn't resolving itself and called. Dr. Pan. She called me in for a Monday appointment to drain it. It wasn't painful since I'm still pretty numb from the anesthesia. She also said it may happen again so I have to go back at the end of the week to have it drained again. She explained that I was too active. It's hard not to be active since I'm starting to feel better. She explained that the more active I am, the more friction I create and it's like a blister where it builds up fluid to help protect itself since it's trying to glue itself back together. Again, if I didn't have such a supportive partner, the recovery would present a lot more challenges. More logistics. I'm a great healer. A few things I don't know where to mention-- They have the compression bras and binders there. I first got 2 bras but then asked for another because I needed more of a laundry buffer Scar Recovery Gel--Either I'm an amazing healer (I am) or this stuff is magic, or both. I do it diligently 2 x a day. My showering ritual is longer because everything has to dry completely before putting it on. My animals are so concerned and only want to comfort me but I had to create barriers because them jumping on me unexpectedly was the worst. Updated on 19 Dec 2020: I just put the number of the day of recovery. I'm 25 days post opp. I had to get drained again today. Dr. Pan told me that the more activity the more fluid I will create. So, I'm trying real hard to only do what I have to. It's hard for me though. I hate asking anyone for anything. And, I want the fluid to stop so I'm going to do what I have to.
Great experience with Dr.Pan and the whole Esana team. I had wanted a breast augmentation since my teens, and finally decided to go ahead with it at age 22. I found Dr.Pan through Realself, and had my initial consultation with her back in February. I explained to Dr.Pan that I wanted smaller implants, and wanted to remain as natural as possible. Dr.Pan understood what I wanted and needed right away, recommending me implants that would look good on my small frame, and even took into consideration that I love to run/workout. I decided to go with Dr.Pan as my surgeon without meeting with anyone else! My surgery was initially scheduled for April, but due to the pandemic was pushed to beginning of May. I actually didn't decide on my implant size until the day of my surgery (Dr.Pan orders 3 sizes for you), and ended up going with 225cc. The day of my surgery went so smoothly, and the only pain I had was right after surgery. Overall, my recovery went extremely smoothly. I was up and walking around easily by the third day, and only needed tylenol after the first two nights for pain management. Throughout the whole process, Dr.Pan kept telling me that patients usually wish they had gone bigger, and advised me to go with 250cc, but I was so afraid of having implants that were too big (especially because I started with nothing). I was scared of the adjustment and assured her that I would rather be too small than too big. But now that I am 2+ months post-op, I can honestly say I wish I had listened to her and gone just a little bigger! My biggest advice is don't base your implant size off what other people got, or off of bra size. Everyone's body is different so implants will look different on everyone. Listen to your surgeon and pick a size based on the look you want to have! Overall, I am so happy with my results. I love the way my new boobs look and feel. It only took me about two weeks to adjust to them, and now I feel like this is the body I was born with. Highly recommend Dr.Pan to anyone looking to have a breast augmentation! Also thank you to Michelle and everyone else at Esana for their patience and answering all my questions.
Deborah Pan did an amazing job with my breast augmentation I could not have been happier with the results, I got my boobs done 10/22 subfascial breast augmentation with saline implants, in a week I was back to work I had a great recovery and am loving how natural and beautiful my new boobs look!
I have been using medical grade skincare for over 10 years. I am a working Mom in my 40's who has always taken care of my skin. I did not think I would notice such significant change in my skin so fast!!!! My skin felt tight, smooth and was "glowing" according to my friends and even my husband!! BioSerum Firm is my new obsession!!!!! Must haveI received this complimentary treatment at the RealSelf House of Modern Beauty.
I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes, but as I've gotten older, they're getting much more pronounced. I haven't always had the hollows, but they've seem to come with aging too. I've had doctors assume I had allergies (which can cause dark circles), kids ask why it's so dark under my eyes, people think I'm tired... all of it. After looking up dermal fillers on Real Self, it seemed worth a shot!
Hello, My name is Jessica. I am a mother of two. I have been wanting a tummy tuck for 13 years now. I have finally met with Dr. Pan on 9/16/19 and put my deposit to hold my surgery date for February 11, 2020!! I’m super exited!!! I thank all you ladies on RealSelf for sharing your most personal experiences in life with other people. I have made my decision based on advice, details, pics and tips in all of your posts. Dr. Pan said that I don’t need muscle repair. So my healing time would be 2 weeks less!! I’m excited about that!! I can’t wait. I will keep you all posted!!
Based on your photos it appears that you might not have tuberous breasts but you would benefit from either a breast lift or breast reduction to attain better symmetry and reduce the areola size.
Given that you haven't had children and don't have terrible excess skin or possible muscle separation, liposuction (or even CoolSculpting) would be beneficial.
Unfortunately without photos there's no way to answer your question. You should wait out your results from your initial treatment to decide which way to go next.
Depending on your acceptance of visible scars, it is perfectly acceptable to do an augmentation first and see how the implant alone lifts and fills your breasts. This is dependent on choosing a size that will be adequate to fill the skin envelope. If you prefer a smaller or moderate sized implant, then it may be prudent to consider a mastopexy (short scar or anchor pattern incision) depending on how much lift is required after the implant is placed at the time of surgery.
It will depend on your desired volume size and frame. You can also ask your provider that if you stay within the moderate plus profile, what your maximum volume should be and whether or not that will satisfy your size desires.
