I had an Lipo-abdominoplasty about eight weeks ago, and I am I'm delighted with the results. My healing process is going very smoothly. Dr. Bachelor is a great surgeon, and his office staff are very friendly, helpful, supportive, and willing to answer or find the answers to all my questions. Without hesitation, I've already recommended it to my closest girlfriends and some of my family members.
My experience with Dr. bachelor was wonderful from start to finish. His staff was amazing . I want to mention specifically Sabrina on the day of surgery . She was so gentle and nurturing.. I had a neck lift, and I am so happy with the results so far , although I still have some healing to go . I highly recommend Dr. Bachelor . I can’t say enough about how gentle he is . And how wonderful his bedside manner is .
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bachelor and his team. Before surgery, he was thoughtful, straightforward and attentive to my needs and goals. He put me at ease before a surgery that would make anyone very anxious. The surgery itself went extremely well and I am thrilled with the results. As so much of a doctor's office depends on the staff, I should mention that they are exceptionally helpful, kind and professional. They have been superb with the follow-up and I feel that I have been well taken care of from beginning to end.
I am really pleased that I chose Dr. Bachelor for my foray into facial plastic surgery. Choosing a surgeon felt like a huge decision because it was a. something I'd wanted to do forever and b. it's on my face (and you're awake during the procedure), so it was really important to me to find someone that I felt was both highly skilled at the procedure and that I was comfortable with in terms of bedside manner and general demeanor. Since we are technically still in a pandemic, diligence with regard to Covid procedures was also important to me. My dad is a retired physician and part of what I like about Dr. Bachelor is he reminds me of my dad! He seems genuinely kind, and I felt comfortable bringing up any and all questions during my consultation and pre-operative appointments. I also feel like I got straightforward answers to those questions, which made me feel confident in choosing Dr. Bachelor. I felt like he was/is genuinely interested in working on my case and does not see me as just another dollar sign. I have never felt any pressure or had someone try to upsell me at this practice. I also appreciate the staff at both locations and have found them friendly and helpful in the relatively short time I've been a patient at this practice. Also, THANK YOU in general to this practice for the amount of communication I've received as a patient, both regarding my surgery and just in terms of simple stuff like scheduling/appointment reminders. Getting a "happy healing" card signed by the doctor and his team a few days after my procedure was another little thing that stood out to me. The procedure was pretty straightforward and it's obvious Dr. Bachelor and his team have it down to a science. I never expected to feel as comfortable sedated but awake on an operating table with someone doing scary stuff just millimeters from my eyeball as I did on the day of my blepharoplasty. Today was my first post-operative appointment, but even immediately upon being discharged after surgery, I could tell I had received excellent care. Dr. Bachelor bet I wouldn't need any Rx pain meds, and he was right - I haven't even taken a Tylenol post-op. With each day of healing I'm more excited about my results. This is a long way of saying I feel cared for at this practice and am really glad I chose Dr. Bachelor to perform my lower blepharoplasty. I would certainly recommend anyone considering this procedure see him for a consultation.
I knew pretty early into my consultations that I was choosing Dr. Bachelor for my breast augmentation (he was the 3rd Dr. I consulted with) Dr. Bachelor listened to what I was hoping to achieve and I feel he made the perfect choice in CC size and profile size. At 3 weeks out I am blown away at how fast my recovery was and how good my breasts already look. His staff is so sweet and got back to me quickly with any extra questions or concerns I had. I had a lot of anxiety leading up to the surgery and the nurses at his surgery center made me feel at ease and very comfortable. Their anesthesiologist is amazing as well, she spent time listening to all of my concerns and made me feel safe and confident going into surgery. I will say I felt overwhelmed in choosing the “right” doctor and I am SO glad I chose Dr. Bachelor!
Dr Bachelor is so AMAZING! I went in for a breast augmentation consultation, I was quite nervous about the procedure and had so many questions. He was very patient, thorough and attentive to what my goals were and guided me through the process. He is a master at his craft, not only did he do an EXCELLENT job on surgery day, my recovery has been really good compared to stories I've heard. I am so happy that he listened to what I wanted and made sure I got it. No matter how many questions I asked, he always had a smile on his face and was very comforting and assuring. I am EXTREMELY happy with my results and so glad I chose him. His office staff are also warm, professional and supportive throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone I know, he is amazing!!!
When asked the question, "how long have you been thinking about breast surgery?" My response has always been "Since they never came!?" So, I would say around 14 but admired my mother's huge rack since childhood and always assumed I would take after her. I secretly couldn't wait for my breasts to develop. I just didn't think I'd still be waiting!! Updated on 13 May 2021: I was trying to write a review on my Breast Implant Surgery by Dr. Bachelor but published it by mistake before I could write much or get into detail. So I’m trying again and giving an update. So, at the time I had a boyfriend who was willing to pay for my surgery on the condition that I go to the same surgeon that his ex wife went to in New York City. But when I went for the consultation I really didn’t like anything this guy had to say. First of all he wanted to go through the nipples with silicon implants and I didn’t see how that could be possible b/c I’ve always had small nipples. Also, I guess my breasts were SLIGHTLY uneven so he wanted to do a lift on one breast. Alll together he quoted me $15,000 and it just didn’t sit right. So I came back home to SF Bay Area and numerous people recommended Dr.Bachelor. Oh my God I’m so glad that I got second opinion. He basically agreed with me that I didn’t need a breast lift and to go through the nipple he would have to extend the incision leaving me with nasty scars around my nipples. His bedside manner was extremely professional yet warm and always made me feel at ease he’s just a great guy! Oh and $8,000 here instead of $15,000! My only regret is not doing the surgery sooner. I was always afraid of like the recovery time which was like just the first 2 to 3 days with that I’m not even that bad. After that I started to quickly heal No I just feel like they’re perfection and I love them so much so so so much! I have a small frame so we decided on 365 cc of inspira by allergen soft silicone. I now measure a 32DD. I only complaint is that my left nipple is still completely numb and yet my right nipple is totally fine. Anyone else have this issue? I’ll attach some photos. It’s been close to 2 years since surgery.
I had a had a wonderful experience from the initial consultation to all the follow up appointments. I am very happy with the results. The staff is very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this doctor.
Dr Bachelor is exceptional and staff were great! Vicky, his 1st assistant and Stephanie are an excellent addition to his staff! Thank you ladies! TOP NOTCH, Your the best! I will not go anywhere else now! I trust them 100%!
Such a great experience already! Can’t wait to see results. 24 hours out and no need for pain medication minimal bruising, the staff was so caring and Dr, Bachelor has been fantastic so far. I had such bad anxiety but I got nothing but reassurance for my safety. Updated on 23 Feb 2019: I got liposuction due to my huge flanks a stomach, I’m small everywhere else and wanted a more nicer even shape. It’s more genetics on my flanks so I went with liposuction compared to vaser because I’ve heard of needing touch ups with vaser
I would defiantly recommend a breast augmentation. This will also lift your breast to some degree. The amount of lift achieved depends on the size of the implant chosen. The larger the implant, the greater the lift. Meeting in consultation would allow a better assessment of your breast and the desired look you would like to achieve.
What you are experiencing is very common and should resolve over the next 2 months. This tingling represents nerve regeneration and is a normal part of healing. If it is truly "driving you crazy", Gabapentin is a medication that may help these symptoms.
If a woman has significant drooping of her breasts, a breast lift can be an important part of her makeover. Augmentation of the breasts can provide some lifting of the breast depending on the size of the implant and the degree of the drooping present. In your case, I feel that implants alone should provide you with a good result. The larger the implant the greater the lift Good luck with your surgery
The length of the scar is determined by the amount of excess skin that is present The more excess skin to be removed the longer the scar needs to be to accomplish the desired result. The scar can be kept low and generally heals very well.
By your appearance and description you are an excellent candidate to undergo an abdominoplasty with tightening of the abdominal muscles. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area for an evaluation. Good luck !
