James Shoukas, MD

This has been one of the best experiences in my life and I owe it all to Dr. Shoukas and his staff. Robin was amazing at making me feel very comfortable. They truly care about their patients. They ask what you actually want here and then he will personally tell you what is best for you. From day one to the final result you are treated like a person, not just a number. And perfection is what they aim for so you are in the best hands from beginning to end. I can not praise them enough. They are highly educated and very passionate about what they do here, as they should be. It was worth every penny and I am so happy to have found them. Anyone wanting top quality from real people who enjoy boosting your appearance and confidence, give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

Wow! Dr. Shoukas was amazing! The consultation took a good hour and he was very detailed, asked questions and answered all my questions. My case it's a little different as I have Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome and sometimes doctors get a little scared about it. I've also had 5 pelvic surgeries in the last 7 years leaving by abdomen in very bad shape. He made sure I felt comfortable even when looking at my belly.

I also have a umbilical hernia that will be repaired. Also if you noticed I have a bulge on my left side that needs to be addressed. Getting very excited to see the end result.

Surgery went well, Dr. Shoukas was amazing making sure I felt reassured the morning of the surgery. So far recovery is going as expected and I’m thrilled with the results so far! Worst part for me are the drains can’t wait to have them removed.

Not going to lie week 2-3 were hard for me in general. Had my last drain removed on week 4 and it was like turning a corner. I’m so happy with the results and with the treatment I have received from Dr. Shoukas. If you are thinking about it, don’t! Just do it, it’s worth it!

Here are some additional post op photos. The white band I’m wearing is the compression band and my surgeons wants me to wear it until my 6 week post op appointment. Sorry for the turned photos. I’m not sure why that happened!

I'm a 28-year-old mother of two, both of which I breastfed for a short amount of time (no more than 3 months). I've been flat chested ever since puberty never hit as hard as my friends and classmates, and it was always something that made me super self conscious. I was a 32 or 34 A with gapping, but have never been measured. I was so self conscious that I've been stuffing in some form for most of my life (i.e. silicone inserts, extra padding, etc.). I've always wanted to get a BA since I started doing research on it at 15/16. I was finally in a financial position to do it and so I found a doctor very close to my home in Lake Mary, FL who was more than qualified. After going to my consultation and talking with Dr. Shoukas about my wants, getting my measurements taken, and trying on sizers, I booked my appointment the same day. I can't remember my exact BWD but can find out, but we decided on cohesive gel silicone, moderate profile, under the muscle, and no less than a 375cc but he would try to fit the largest size that would look natural. My goal was to look natural but still have a good amount of cc's, cleavage, overall fullness, and to even out my bottom heavy proportions. Also, I'm 5'5", athletic frame, and was roughly 140-145 at date of surgery. I went in on July 29, 2020 for my surgery and was surprisingly calm and excited to go through with it. I knocked out like a light and then woke up in recovery with tightness and pressure in my chest, but no real pain. Day 1 and 2 post-op were the worst for me because, according to my PS, I had a very thick pec muscles that could only fit 375cc because it was so tight (I work out and stay pretty active). I felt like I was stretched to the max. By post-op day 3 and on, I felt better every day, and by day 4 I had weaned off the narcotics and was only taking muscle relaxers and Tylenol. I HIGHLY recommend to start taking stool softeners days before surgery and then take them as often as you can after the surgery because I never had an issue going to the bathroom after I stopped the narcotics. Also drink tons of water! Dr. Shoukas did an amazing job and my incisions look practically healed from the start and had NO BRUISING. I'm now 3 weeks post-op and love my breasts more every day. I trusted Dr. Shoukas to use his expertise and give me what would fit me and he did perfectly! I can't wait to see my results up to 6 months and watch them drop and fluff more. My confidence has sky rocketed and this was worth every cent I paid. I would go through it all over and over if it meant getting the outcome I did.

I got a breast reduction and I can honestly say the surgery was life-changing. I was prepared to deal with misshapen post-op breasts in exchange for relief on my back and neck but I was left with post-op dream breasts. Dr. Shoukas exceeded my highest hopes and completely eliminated all back pain in the process. I went from a 38G to a 38C. They are perky and definitely fail the pencil test.

Was heavy set most of my adult life. Lost 60 lbs 10 years, fluctuated, but spent the last two years focused on diet and full exercise. Went from 37% body fat to 19% (bodPod assessed). Last 12 months focused on muscle work but skin / belly has too much saggy skin. Decided TT was the only real option.

Pics make BB and incision line look dark but in person looks way better. Incision line is really clean and I couldn’t be happier with my progress. Down to one drain and should come out in a day or two. Great PS!!

looking better each week. Got some dog ears going on and PS will correct when ready. Underwear rides up under the dog ears and fat flanks that have become more obvious. Super happy with everything so far even though I have to get modifications or a new procedure for the back flanks..

Wish I Would Have Done This Sooner!

Excellent results. If you are looking to do anything to look younger I highly recommend Dr. James Shoukas in Lake Mary. He's well educated double board certified. Gives several options to achieve goals. Polite staff.

I love the results, have gone to Dr Shoukas for several years. He has always answered my questions and made me feel good about myself. He is always very professional and I always love the results. I would highly recommend him. He staff is very courteous and friendly and there is very little wait time if any.

I started seeing Dr Shoukas when I was in need of a new doctor for my Botox treatments. This lead to a wonderful experience with Restylane injections in my lips and marionette lines. Dr. Shoukas gently guides you to not "over doing" the procedures. Dr Schoukas himself does your chemical peel, it is not done by a license esthetician. I cant say enough good things about Dr. Shoukas and his staff...as long as I live in Florida I will be using Dr Shoukas for all my beauty needs!

Dr. Shoukas is always so friendly and willing to take time to talk to me and take his time. He is very knowledgeable about the different injectable products and let’s me know exactly what I need making sure to never over do it!! Thanks for keeping me looking young!
