3 Days Before my Reduction! the Journey So Far
Am 3 days pre-op: I spent so many years belittling my problems that were caused by my macromastia, and so knew I wanted a female surgeon who would understand me & not put so much focus on “attractiveness” etc. compared to prioritising the health of my body and mind, how I feel. Still I came in afraid initially, uncertain if there were any arbitrary rules with my Aetna insurance... but the first consultation completely washed all my fears away! It was especially made amazing

Amazing Lift with No Implant
Dr. Kiwanuka was the only surgeon who didn't come back to me with a cookie-cutter 'lift and implant' response. She was the only one who listened to my goals and plans for the future and recommended an auto-augmentation. My results are exactly what I was looking for and match my own aesthetic and body type. I'm about 4 months post-op, and everything is healing nicely and settling in.

She Listened, She Delivered, She ROCKS!
I want to start by thanking Dr.K and her team for such an amazing work on my breast reduction. I initially came across her on Reddit (where people don't lie! lol) and saw nothing but praising reviews. I am only 6 weeks post op and I am so happy and beyond pleased with my results, she listened to what I wanted and the day of surgery confirmed my desired look and she delivered just that! I am positive that after all swelling goes down my cleavage will still be there, which is exactly

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Surgeon and Experience
Dr. K’s work is absolutely impeccable. From our first consultation she immediately felt like the right surgeon, from all the specific questions she asked about expectations and requirements, to the detailed aftercare instructions she provided. The day of the surgery was smooth and calm, and I woke up feeling like I had just been to the spa. The healing process was extremely straightforward, and Dr. K would call or text to check in almost every day of the first few weeks. I am

My Only Regret is Not Doing This Sooner!
I had the best experience with Dr K and the Breast Reduction Center. Their office did all the leg work when it came to insurance coverage and my expectations were set each step of the way. I had an uncomplicated recovery and I could not be happier with my results. Dr K did a great job at keeping the natural shape of my breasts and I’m beyond pleased with my size and my results. Thank you Dr K and team!

Great Bedside Manner
Amazing experience. Took time to discuss options and did not push or try to sell any procedures. Made a plan to best meet my goals that were in my budget. She demonstrated knowledge and empathy, leaving me feeling comfortable and confident in the procedure.

6 months post op - I feel so happy and confident in my results.
My experience with Dr K was incredible. I am 6 months post-op now, and her and her team were amazing throughout the entire process — always kind and fast to respond. My reduction looks far better than I ever could have imagined, and I feel so happy and confident in my results. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reduction

Excellent - Dr K. really listened to my expectations
Dr K. really listened to my expectations. I was afraid going in to my breast reduction that the surgeon would think they knew what I wanted for my results. Dr K considered my goals and lifestyle and my results are amazing. I'm running with one sports bra! Life changing. Thank you.

Amazing Experience with Botox and Fillers
I've been to Dr. Kiwanuka twice now - once for baby botox and more recently, for cheek fillers. I had never gotten botox before and Dr. Kiwanuka did a wonderful job answering any questions or concerns that I had. She was personable, kind, and very knowledgeable. The procedure was quick and pain-free, and I was very pleased with the results, which lasted for over 6 months. I decided to return for cheek fillers a few months ago, in hopes of reducing smile lines on my face, and have
