Ellen Ozolins, MD

Alright, here I am almost 2 months post-op from a mini boob job and my results are exactly what I asked for.

Like another review here wrote, Dr. O says it like it is even if you're not ready to hear it. I needed SO much reassurance and affirmation, and Dr. O was very patient in answering all of my questions and simply being professional and the expert. I chose Dr. O because of her no-frills and confident attitude (which I respect and look for in a medical professional), her experience/fellowship with reconstructive breast work, and because all of the images I had seen on social media of her patients had something in common: natural looking breasts with minimal scarring. Additionally, I read an interview with Dr. O, published a few years ago, where she described her job as needing a certain artistic eye--something that also resonated with me.

Unlike other consultations and even other examples of mini boob jobs I had seen online and used as reference images that all seemed to use low profile, Dr. O wanted me to have fuller profile implants--despite by BWD being a few cm larger than the implant. She assured me, and used visual representation to explain how it would look with full implants, cautioning me against low profile because they could look pancakey (which I now totally understand). I was so hesitant but I am glad that I trusted her because my results look much more natural than the reference images I had used of other people who had low profile mini boob jobs. Although my recovery was rough for an entire month (for whatever reason (strong pec muscles? not a lot of breast tissue)) Dr. O and her whole team were very caring and responsive whenever I had questions and concerns. Everything is looking as it should and there's not a day that goes by where I am not happy I made the choice.

From my initial consultation through each post op visit, my experience has been incredible. After years of research and consultations with other surgeons, I am grateful that my journey led me to this office. Dr Ozolins was the only surgeon to actually ask me what end results I was looking for. She took the time to explain the entire procedure and made sure that every question I had was answered; I was never rushed. Not only does she have the best bedside manner, she genuinely cares about my recovery. On top of an amazing surgeon, every individual at Illuum treated me as a friend, not a job or transaction. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone. I’m beyond grateful to see my results continue to improve, I love them already.

I cannot express how happy I am with my results. Before meeting with Dr. Ozolins I was very timid and unsure of what I wanted. After meeting with her the first time I felt entirely comfortable with the procedure. She knew what was perfect for my body and desired goals and I loved every bit of my breast augmentation process. My recovery was very easy, and I felt back to normal within a week. I am currently 6 weeks out from my surgery and I have very minimal scarring.

I would recommend Dr. Ozolins to anyone thinking of getting a breast augmentation. She does incredible work, and ensures her patients are comfortable and satisfied with their results.

My experience was extraordinary and I’m pleased with my results. Dr. Ozolins was personable and listened to my concerns. I’d recommend for future procedures. The nurses and patient advocates were exceptional as well.

I love her work she is a great plastic surgeon the before and after of my body is instant to me. I love it I'm looking forward to having future procedures done by her. She is a nice professional, honest person. And the staff there are helpful and kind.

I went to Dr. Ozolins as I had been at Star before with a different doctor that moved. Firstly she is very professional and honest. When you ask questions she will give you an honest answer even if you're not ready to hear it. I had a revised tummy tuck and thigh lipo to removed excess fat in anticipation of a full thighplasty. I once weighed over 285lbs in my younger years and the legs are some of the last part to go.

I'm also going to have a breast revision at the same time. Doc O did not do my original breast Aug but improvements are needed. My first surgery with her was last Sep 2020. And I have the vertical and horizontal TT scars and they are almost not visible. Proper care helps but her technique is amazing!!



Highly recommend their office. They are board certified plastic surgeons NOT cosmetic..huge difference!!

Due to extreme weight fluctuations, I experienced excess skin and drooping of my breast that cause severe back pain. I also suffered from a fibradenoma that I wished to have removed. Dr. Oozlin has been very kind, patient, and professional. As of now I am quite pleased with my results. Pain from the procedure during the first week was manageable but the medications upset my stomach. My only complaint as of now is that it is hard to schedule post op appointments with her due to her busy schedule.

I have worked out my whole life. Could never get my tummy flat. After breast feeding my breasts lost their fullness. I decided to start looking to see if I could fine tune my body. I went for 3 consultations. Dr. Ozolins did it for me!! So knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable!! I went for a breast lift, augmentation, and full tummy tuck. The whole staff made me feel so at home. It felt right bf I went for it!! So pleased with the results. 3 months out. I'm working out and loving my results. She is such a sweet doctor and so happy I went for it!!

Dr. O is such a great doctor. Very calming and professional. My experience was great. I do wish they had been lifted just a touch higher, but all in all they are leagues better than before. I had my implants revised from 300cc to 335cc, and a high profile instead of mid. It was definitely a great decision and if I need future work done I will definitely see her again.

My appointment is made!! Feels so nice to say that. I've wanted to get my breasts done for quite some time now and it's actually going to happen! I'm a mom of three kids and breastfeeding has taken a major toll on my breasts. They're looking pretty sad these days! Lol. Anyways a little info about me I'm a petite /small framed women I'm about 100 lbs and 5'4". I've never really been large chested before children I was a small C. My breasts were the biggest they have even been while breastfeeding and I'd say they were about a D then. Currently I'm in a B cup but my breasts are pretty deflated. I have very little volume to the upper portion of my breasts which makes them look pretty flat. I'm going to Star Plastic surgery which is in my home state. The Doctor I'm going with is Dr. Ellen Ozollins. She's great! My consultation was really nice, she explained everything to me and made sure to answer all my questions. I'm going to go with a 200cc silicone implant under the muscle. She explained to me that although we are talking about a 200cc implant now during surgery if she feels like it's not the right look I wanted she will change it accordingly. That made me feel really good. The only thing I can think about that makes me nervous is the whole "drop & fluff" process. Does anyone else have concerns about that? I know it takes awhile for your implant to drop, and my worst fear is that it won't happen. Just out of curiosity what are your pre-surgery concerns or things you wish you would've know before hand? If your reading this I'd love to know. Please comment!

Yesterday was my surgery date. The whole process was wonderful the staff and doctor were so caring. When I woke up yesterday after surgery the only thing I can at that hurt was my throat from the tube but besides that my boobs just feel sore ( barely painful). Today I was anticipating to be in some real deal pain but they still just feel pretty sore. We went with 220cc under the muscle and from what I can see so far they look amazing! Tomorrow will be my post op appointment I’m so exited to take this bra off and see my new boobs. I’m going to add some before pics and when I got to my post op tomorrow I’m going to ask for a picture then so I can upload them and see the difference.

It was so nice to be able to shower today! I think just the shower made me feel a million times better. My pain was a little worse towards the end of the day yesterday but nothing excruciating. Glad I had the pain meds they knocked it right out. Finally got to look at the girls for the first time with out the bra on and omg they look so good! I’m very pleased with my results so far. Although I do have a random puncture wound on my shoulder which I’d like to know how it got there. I’ll add a pic of it.

Everything’s been going pretty good. My right side is feels completely back to normal. Although my left side is still pretty sore on the top of my breast and my muscle by my armpit constantly feels like I have a tank top on that’s way too tight and feels like it’s cutting into my arm. That’s the best description I can give to compare it too. Still waiting on that left breast to drop some more too. My incisions are looking great and the scarring is minimal. I feel like once I start a scar cream/gel it will disappear completely. Kicking myself in the butt I wish I would’ve done this so much sooner! Dr. Ozollins has been beyond great I highly suggest her to everyone.

So I’ve passed my month mark!! Everything’s been going great. I had an appointment with my PS today and she’s happy with my healing progress as am I. Another appointment in a month. She said at my next appointment we can start scar treatment but honestly I think my scars are so minimal. Far better then I anticipated that’s for sure. My overall experience has been great.
