Dr. Wegener was my second consult and he was closer to home. He has a really good bedside manner. Staff was very friendly. I don't know what to do I did not get the look I was looking for. He offered to fix the imperfections and a discounted price but Ijust do not have it to do another procedure. I guess I will have to settle with this untill I can save enough money to get a revision.
I initially went to see Dr. Wegener because my right breast saline implant placed in1997 had leaked. At the consultation, we decided on a lift and new saline implants under the pectoral muscle. (My original implants were on top of pecs.) Surgery went perfectly and I am well pleased with my results. Six months later, I had abdominal liposuction with fat transfer to my butt. Again - couldn't be happier with the results, especially at my advanced age of 57! But let me tell ya something people, abdominal liposuction is an EXTREMELY PAINFUL procedure in recovery. This would be my only complaint with Dr. Wegener: not enough information was provided about the pain during recovery. I still would have gone through with the procedure but I would have been better prepared at home.
I could not have asked for a better surgeon than Dr Wegener. He really connected personally with me and was honest the whole time. I came to him for a breast augmentation. I'm around 113 lbs and have always had a slender body type, and always been SO flat chested. When I consulted with him, he asked me what I wanted. Not what he thought I needed... what I wanted. He gave me exactly that. I went from not even filling out an A cup to a full C/small D and it looks amazing! I seriously love them! I originally spoke to him with complaints of my wrist. I broke my scaphoid bone over 7 years ago and I still had a non healed break and never knew it. I knew he was the surgeon for me when he told me a few weeks later that he had been researching the best treatment for me and he gave me the options I had. There was no thinking to it after that when he showed me he was truly into my care! I told him I'd like the breast augmentation at the same time as when I'd need the wrist surgery. Everything went so smoothly: prep, surgery, recovery, therapy. And here I am with the best looking breasts, back to a great range of motion with my wrist, and beautiful scars to go with it. I would recommend Dr Wegener every single time for any plastic and hand surgery. He and his team are so active in patient care. They are very down to earth and so sweet!
After years of wanting a breast reduction, I found a doctor who I felt was the right person to do my BR procedure. Going in I was so afraid, but after the procedure I was so happy with the results that I wish I had done it sooner. Dr. Wegener is the best. I would recommend him to anyone that wants to feel better physically and mentally about their body.
I've seen Dr. Wegener for multiple things that either bothered me about my appearance or things I wanted to enhance and improve - including my lips and my nose. Dr. Wegener gave me exactly what I was looking for and I've been so happy with my nose for the last few years. I have been back to see him for lip injections, and words can't explain how happy I am and how confident I feel after having him inject them! My lips are full (Juvederm), even, and smooth. The shape is so natural, the pain was minimal, the recovery time is roughly a day (2 days for light bruising at injection sites, hardly noticeable)..and the results are amazing! Let Dr. Wegener turn whichever of your features that you aren't happy with into ones that you can't wait to show off - whether it's a cosmetic procedure
I had lost weight and my face and neck were sagging. I decided on a face lift and tummy tuck so that I would look and feel better. I am very happy that I had these procedures done. I love the results. You do have a little discomfort and recovery time at home. I had temporary staples at my hairline as well as some stitches. For my tummy tuck there were stitches but I had very little pain and hardly needed any pain medicines. These procedures were well worth it to me and I am very satisfied with the results.
I had carpal tunnel syndrome along with severe arthritis in one of my fingers. I had also recently lost weight and my arms were not only too large but were sagging. It was so embarrassing to me that I would never go out without long sleeves. The surgery went smoothly with little down time for healing.
Awesome experience!! Dr. Wegener did my breast augmentation and I can not be happier! He has the best attitude and made me feel very comfortable. He is definitely a 10 and his staff is amazing!! Going to see Dr. Wegener was definitely the best decision I have ever made!!
Dr. Wegener injected my lips twice and I am in love with them! It was all very painless and within 3 days, the swelling was gone and I had the lips that I've always wanted! He is very professional personable and I will definitely be going back to see him again soon!
After finally deciding to have a breast enlargement, my friend suggested that I see Dr. Eric Wegener. I was very nervous when I first arrived at his office. He and his staff made me feel as though I had known them forever. I love his bedside manner and he was so informative. By the end of my visit he ask whether or not I had any questions. I smiled and said to him "you've already answered them all". One important factor in making a decision was the cost of the procedure. I was quoted a fee, which included his portion, the surgical facility and the anesthesia. That was awesome! Now, I knew I was ready to get moving. Scheduling my surgery was easy. Recovery was not as bad as I expected. I could not be any more happier choosing Dr. Wegener as my plastic surgeon.
GB82, I am sorry you are having difficulties. Without photographs and an examination it is hard to give you a definitive answer. I suggest you contact your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Good luck.
I am glad dropping your phone onto your face 2 hours after surgery wasn't painful. I will change my personal post-operative orders to warns patients of this risk. Routinely a pocket is formed for the implant to fit into, so I suspect there will be no shifting. Be careful.
I am sorry you are unhappy. Dysport and Botox are essentially the same product. Both temporarily paralyze muscles to soften wrinkles in the skin that is directly connected to those muscles. Luckily both are temporary, lasting only 3-6 months (3-4 months is more realistic). Neither product should cause numbness as they do not affect sensory nerves. I recommend you return to your physician to discuss your concerns. Good luck.
Deborah, Liposuction with or without the use of a laser is a time tested technique to reshape the body by removing unwanted fat. Simply because someone has health conditions such as diabetes does not mean they are not candidates for elective cosmetic surgery. Diabetes does increase one's risks of peri-operative complications, but not so much that surgery is contraindicated. I recommend you consult with your medical doctor who treats your diabetes as well as a board certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with liposuction. Good luck.
ponyhorses, I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties. There are definite indications to undergo mastectomy for benign disease. Matodynia (breast pain) frequently caused from fibrocystic disease is one of them. I suggest you consult with another general or plastic surgeon with experience with mastectomy and reconstruction. Good luck.
