I am a 41 year old BRCA1 positive mother of 2. I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy. I faced many unforeseen complications right from the time the general surgeon was doing the mastectomy. Dr. Patel and her assistant Keira Proctor have given me exceptional care and compassion. Along with always being available, even by cell phone, calling to check on me post-op or fitting you in as needed for an appointment with any concern. You are treated like family.

10 years ago at age 27 I got a breast reduction through Dr. Rae in Salem Ma. He came highly recommended and did a great job. I am 5'9 1/2 and was about 140 at the time. My breasts were around a 34 G. I had previously lost weight and got down to a size 6 foe my height using LA weight loss. You would have to go be measured and weighed in. One of the numerous comments made were " I can't believe you are losing weight everywhere EXCEPT you cup size!!" Yeah my sentiments exactly. After

My eyelids were so heavy that it was an effort to keep my eyes opened wide. I had done Botox and it helped a bit, but with age my lids kept getting worse, so decided to have an eye lift. Interestingly, I didn't even realize how much effort I was putting in to keeping my eyes open until after I had the procedure. It is amazing and I am so happy with the results.Dr. Patel had done a breast augmentation on me and I was thrilled with the results therefore I felt very comfortable

I went to see Dr. Patel for my migraines after a friend recommended trying Botox to treat them. Without luck throughout my teenage years and early 20s, I suffered at least one to two monthly migraines that knocked me out completely. I would be calling out of work, making a cave out of my bedroom, taking muscle relaxers to get the tension to calm down and dilate my blood vessels, nausea medicine, etc. I know how to take care of my migraines, but was beginning to seriously lose

Hi, I had breast cancer a few years ago...stage 2b. 12 lympnodes removed. With that said, I had a lumpectomy with 3 tumors removed. It left my left breast a couple years later, with a dent and my right breast where the cancer was, was higher by two inches. I just had the microfat grafting and am happy to say it is covered under the cancer law (i.e. free!!) I was thrilled to hear that and just decided to have it done. I am on day two in recovering right now. I am in pain but

I had juvederm injected into the tear trough 4 weeks ago. I was only trying to freshen up before a trip to cancun. BIG MISTAKE. I look horrible! I have had horrible swelling and puffiness. The bags I was trying to fix look twice as big. I also got bruising that hasnt gone away. I'm so upset. I keep looking at old pictures wondering what possessed me to do this to begin with. I went to a well respected doctor with great credentials. She has since prescribed tri-luma

I am post op 4 days. My stomach was never horrible and the stretch marks didn't bother me, it was the bulge after I was dressed. I was alway small and I found myself wearing big clothes to hide this. My breasts have always been 2 different sizes so I decided to fix those also. Surgery was 5 hours long and I woke up nauseous. I didn't vomit but dry heaving killed me. I stood in the hospital 2 nights when I didn't have to stay in for any at all. I have yet to really see anything.
