J. Craig Uecker, MD

I had a breast reduction with Dr Jeffrey Uecker and I absolutely love my results! The doctor and office staff are amazing. They always answered the phone when I call the office and addressed all of my concerns without hesitation. The doctor was professional and patient with me and all of my questions. If you are considering an excellent surgeon, Dr Jeffrey Uecker is the one!

First of all ladies let me start off by saying EVERYONE BODY IS DIFFERENT. Don’t let other people reviews scare you or discourage you. I was so scared from reading different reviews on here. I had my surgery Tuesday February 2 and I’m so pleased with my results. I’m still healing and draining. My surgery took about 6 hrs but it was worth it. I was never in pain just sore . I started taken pain medicine the next day for my soreness. That’s why I say everyone body is different. But I was prepared with iron pills, joint pills , hemp gummies, after surgery ensure. He cut me underneath my buttocks . Soon I will upload pictures. I’m so happy . Yes I have a dent but the more you drain the more it look better and it will fill in.

The Doctor took my drains out Monday . The dents are filling in. The tape on top is where the drain was but the hole closing up good and the tape under my buttocks is where he Cutt me on each side. So Far I’m So Grateful

I had a breast reduction from him a year ago and I catch a seroma, since then I was having nonstop fever and pain so I told him about but never tried to fix it until I told him I wanted to have liposuction. He told me he’ll be able to fix the issue with my abdomen lipo, I decided to get liposuction so I can get the issue with breast reduction go away cause that was the only way they were willing to help. I can’t lie he is a really nice doctor and makes me feel comfortable everytime I go see him

I don’t have any before pictures cause I wasn’t going to do a review, I have been wearing my garments everyday, I take it off only when I have to take a shower. I have been having a lot of pains

I know it looks perfect in the picture but I’m actually in pain, there’s still lumps, harness and fibrosis. I feel better when I’m not in bed or sitting down... the 2nd pic u can see the lumps, I was supposed to go on a family vacation this week, I don’t know if I’ll enjoy it and I don’t know if I still want to go.

I did 3 massages already still don’t see any big difference

Ok today looks better and I’m feeling way better than before except when I was doing last minute Christmas shopping today and I had to come home cause I was tired and in pain. I took my pain med then I felt a lot better afterwards
My doctor suggested not to go get massages but instead buy a rolling pin to do it myself, it hurts when I do it cause of the harness and lumpiness. I try to do it everyday for 5 to 10 minutes and also apply heating pad after I’m done.
What you guys think? Anything I can do better to help my hardness and lumpiness?
Thanks

I’m going to start by saying that I’m ready to have smaller boobs. I am 40 years old 5’4, 142 lbs and 36DD. I have been thinking about this for a couple of years now, but have not really done anything until now. I choose Dr Uecker because he was highly recommended by my cousin. I have my surgery scheduled in 2 weeks June 25 and I am a nervous wreck. sometimes I think about canceling my surgery but wearing two bras and a huge black shirt for running stops me from doing that. I’m having my surgery at their clinic instead of the hospital so that makes me more nervous.

I’m 2 weeks post op. The first week my breast didn’t hurt but the lipo did a little mostly standing up when sitting for too long. My doctor said No ice packs because that will interfere with circulation so I used a heating pad mostly a night. This second week lipo doesn’t hurt that much but my breast started to feel a little bit. The pain comes and goes during the day. I only take half of the oxy pill if they are too sensitive at night.

Is week 5 is things look good, except for my left breast that I have a little bit of fluid discharge according to my doctor just put gauze and keep it clean it will heal, so that’s what I’m doing. I find that the sports bra are best for me very comfortable and the pain comes and goes sometimes they are very sensible and I have to take half of the pain pill my doctor prescribed here are one pictures.

I will recommend dr Uecker for breast reduction . I had my breast reduction surgery a year ago and so far so good no problems thank God. I'm still a little bit sore and my scars look a lot better. I love my new small breast:)

Dr. Uecker preformed my breast reduction eleven years ago and am still so grateful to him. He is an awesome Doctor and he cares about his patients well being. That's why I'm back for another procedure. I wouldn't haven have it any other way.

My breast was to large I having lots of problems with my back to much migraine also not feeling well
I decide to went with my friend , the dr ask me lots of questions, after that they take pics send to my insurance Carrier after 3 working days his secretary Wanda call me and told me that I Benny approved we talk about the day finally was shedule for 12/8/15 at Memorial South , i had a very good experience with the staff nurse anesthetist any complain very happy and waiting for the finally results . Thank you !!!!

I’m here to help educate my fellow sisters who made the same mistake I made by letting someone inject me with illegal raw silicone into my butt. I met with Dr Craig Uecker on Oct 11 2018 and he quoted me 4000 dollars. He explain to me that he can remove some of the substance but not all of it. He was very nice but open and honest. I wanted to get my bbl done the same day as removal but he said no because the body will need time to heal so the healthy tissue can survive. So I plan on returning to get my bbl after the 90 days are up. After my visit with him I was happy and decide to let him do my removal. I’m scheduled to get my removal on Dec 26 2018 very excited and ready to get it over with.

Well ladies I haven’t been on the site Because I’m just trying to recover. I had a set back two weeks after surgery. My Iron ran so low had to be hospitalized for a blood transfusion. After the transfusion I was feeling good. On my way home some how I ended up with a ripe in my left butt and that cost for concern. The following day I had went and met up with Dr. Ucker and be stitched the wound close but of course it bust open again. Then the drains stopped draining. He then told me I would have a open drain technique instead of a closed one so now I’m leaking everywhere ruining my bed linen almost everyday. This surgery is no joke. I have never had anxiety attacks before and now I’m having them at least once a week very scary. But I must say that I don’t regret having Dr Uecker as my surgeon he has been excellent anytime I have emergency he is there to see about me when I call after hours he calls me back I’m happy with him as my Dr. If any lady is gonna get this surgery make sure you take your iron pills and hydrate this is a must because your iron will run low and you will be dehydrated because you are constantly losing fluids. Here is some picture after surgery

Today I had my injections removed an because I had a bbl years after the injections, that fat had to go too. I didn’t want to save any of the fat because the silicone was so intwined with the fat the previous doctor injected. Also he used the same cuts the previous doctors gave me ( I went to previous do for a reduction months after the bbl because he just stuff me larger than I asked an had my hips, butt and thighs very uneven) . I’m doing good I feel great and I can’t wait to get my whole story and see the full results and outcome uploaded. #survivingbuttshots coming soon !! 1/8/2019 God is good !!!! !!! !!!!

I’ve moving around and I’m only sore where the drains are inserted. The only concern I’m having is the bottom of my butt is still pretty big. I called and they said it should smooth out in a few months, so I guess I should’ve waited on the final results before posting. But for the most part I’m very optimistic about how it’s going to turn out. They said they got out about 5 lbs together and that’s all he could remove safely. I really don’t want to go through this again because it’s very tedious and costly. I wish I had known there’s a possibility that I may have to get a second surgery, but that’s not set in stone so pray for me. I’ve emptied my drains about 12 times since the surgery and the fluid is getting lighter.

I just want to be truthful throughout my journey and right now I feel like I’m being brushed off. I’ve been told that “if” I need to get a revision we’ll talk about that when time comes, but who want to worry about that for months vs knowing your next move. My follow up appointments have both been less than 10 mins put together. I mean he was walking out the door in mid conversation. Idk if that means there’s nothing to worry about or if it’s over for me. I wanted to know if I could go straight into a bbl in a few months or will I have to have more removed? Hate the rushed feeling but I’m still staying hopeful of the final results. I like I’m but I need more information.

I wasn’t draining much anymore and they were hanging and hurting. I cut them out a few minutes ago and I swear I already feel more free and better. There was a lot clogged up in the drain tubes which is why I wasn’t seeing much but there out and I’m ready for what’s next. Thank God for everything I’m going through.

If you don’t have six months to be deformed I suggest you wait. I’m totally deformed and was just now told I’ll have to walk around with my butt inflated at the top and full at the bottom. I can’t wear pants without a shirt that covers my butt because it looks like I have on a wet pamper. I saw a girl that had the same surgery as me and her results was totally different than mine, so I don’t want to discourage anyone just saying what happened to me. I’m probably going to have to repeat this process all over again. I’m still happy I got the surgery but I wish I had know these details in the beginning I could’ve made better plans. I’m here now o I have no choice but to tough it through. Get all your facts before going through if you’re tight on money or time.

I removed my drains three weeks after I came home from silicone removal surgery. I ripped a stitch in the top part of my right buttock which left a small hole at the top of my butt and that side naturally drains periodically on its own. The left side had gotten very big and had pressure because it wasn’t draining. I went to a doctor Edward Luca in my city and got a cat scan and they thought it was solid implants in my butt, after I told him I had free silicone injections he still didn’t believe I knew what I was talking about. He suggested that I let them “fillet” me open to remove the ruptured implant”. I kept telling him there is no implant and I let them read my medical report so that he’d get a better understanding of what I was telling him. In all honesty I think he did understand but he saw me as an opportunity to get some practice in and dissect and filet my butt for their learning purposes. He even mentioned that they see this all the time and have done some procedures before, which I saw right through his lies. I called Wanda and Dr. Uecker and that were furious with his suggestions and said “please don’t let him cut on you”. I told the physician “Dr. Uecker suggested I get drained and that’s all I want, there is a lot of fluid build up that happened of the last month. I know I till have some silicone but right now I’m trying to drain the fluid to remove the pressure.” He then got angry and said if I don’t want to do it his way then I should leave. I then asked if I could get a different doctor and he said he was the chief and if I don’t like what he is saying I should go back to my doctor in Florida, which is what I ended up doing. Dr. Uecker drained me and I feel fine and look better. Please don’t let these want to use you for practice doctors scare you into letting them “filet” you open.

I removed the catheter today because I wasn’t draining as much and I wand my buttocks to be even. The lip butter is very inflated so I remove the catheter to let it fluff back out. I’m not draining much on the right anymore unless I have a lot of pressure on the butt so it is getting bigger than I expected but it figures to be always know I can get it drained by a needle or add another catheter. I’m waiting for results I will update you when I see them.

Ok not only am I still going to have to go to Colombia like I should’ve done in the first place, I’m being charged 26.99% interest on a CC card I used that wasn’t pointed out to me. I understand that it’s in the paperwork but what I feel played about is they were helpful with everything else pointing out, highlighting, underlining. But to charge me that amount of interest for almost $4000 in only 12 months is insane! Most companies give you 24-60 months if you have a balance more than $999.00. So I’m stuck with deformed buttocks that are still numb from January 2019. Even though the doctor was very nice I don’t see any reason I should’ve went straight to Colombia to save time, money and trouble. I know it’s a business so I can’t be too upset, but if this advice helps anyone mentally, physically or financially make sure you ask about and see before you pay. The interest rate; how much an how long do you have to pay (if paying with a credit card. The conditions/ risk; my butt is numb, like I can’t feel it there’s something burning my buttocks or if I put ice on my buttocks I can’t feel it. I’m still disfigured and can’t wear pants without a shaper after two surgeries. I’m really disappointed and I wish I had made better choices with the removal process.

Very disappointed. Dr won’t fix his surgery. He removed too much fat around my eyes. I now have huge depressions and a deep line on the sides of my eyes. He doesn’t want to refill those areas with a fat transfer so I have to pay for fillers every year for the rest of my life.

I had a terrible experience I had a procedure done that I did not request. Everyone in the office seems to be confused. When I asked for proof they showed me paperwork with my signature dated a date when I was not in the States I asked if they had video on the consultations I was told no. The dynamics of my face and my smile have changed and I'm not happy with myself anymore. I would say go to a different doctor.

Sad. Really disappointed in it all. I blame myself, I trusted the doctor, he let me down big time. I would not recommend him at all. They were not clear on the treatment procedure. Never thought he was going to cut into the crowns of my lips. Left me scared. I think I was an experiment, that went bad
