John Borkowski, MD

I have always wanted to get breast augmentation. I found Dr.Borkowski through reviews of local cosmetic surgeons. Dr.Borkowski went over everything with me and the options for best results. I had 2 consultations with him prior to the procedure. Everything went perfectly and I couldn't be happier with the results. The office staff were also very sweet and went over all the payment options available. I felt well cared for. I would highly recommend Dr.Borkowski!

My whole life I had small breasts and contemplated getting the augmentation for many years. I had two consultations with Dr. Borkowski and he made me feel very comfortable about the procedure and thoroughly went over all the specifics of the operation. I am very pleased with the outcome of the procedure and would highly recommend Dr. Borkowski if you are looking for a knowledgeable surgeon for breast augmentation.

For my age (60) I am more than pleased with my weight and figure (125 lbs). I work very hard on that with proper diet and exercise. What I can do very little about however is the effects of aging on my face. Slightly drooping eyelids and forehead, and the appearance of the loose skin under the chin can only be covered up so much with makeup. Doing this procedure again gives me the facial looks that match my body, so now I don't only feel 20 years younger, I look it all the way too.

After having three children and gaining a lot of weight I was left with very saggy skin. I lost weight and worked out with a trainer for a year but my abdomen looked worse so I decided to have the procedure.

Hello,
I am 58 years old, 5'2 and I weigh 150lbs. My bra size is 38H. I have back problems with S1 and L4 and 5 disc issues . I also have small bulging disc on each side of my neck. I was overweight and lost 40 pounds and I was hoping that my breasts would get smaller. But they didn't. I should have done the surgery a long time ago but insurance was an issue. I just got approved and will have my surgery in March. I am extremely nervous but I can't take the pain anymore.
I am happy I found this site because I am learning such much from all these brave women.

I had my surgery on March 24th. It took about 4 hours. Brought me down to a size D cup but it will probably be C because of the swelling. I still have pain and I am feeling dizzy and not much energy. Taking my pain killers every four hours on the dot. I had to stop because it causes constipation. Started taking miralax and eating fruits. Hopefully it will work soon. My stomach is still bloated from all the fluids they gave me during surgery. I've been sleeping in my lounge chair because it's more comfortable getting up. My surgeon reiterated with me during the surgery that my heavy chest has pulled on my front part of the body, and that they were extremely heavy. He said he didn't know, how I did it for so long. Immediately after surgery I felt all the weight off my upper body. My surgeon didn't use any tubes or bandages . He used this special glue that heals faster and helps with the scarring. I am very happy with the results. I will say to all the ladies that are waiting, it's worth it all. I wish you the very best.

Went to see my surgeon and he informed me that my left nipple is a little darker because the bra they gave me was a little too tight and circulation needs to occur. I will start using the other bra the hospital gave me. Suggested I do not buy bras until about six weeks so that the swelling can go down. He said no underwire till about 3 months. Hopefully no underwires ever again. No signs of infection, thank God. Still feeling tired and pain especially at night. Still using my pain meds and drinking prune juice. I weighed myself and I lost 7 pounds. I was so surprised. Haven't had much of an appetite lately. I am happy because I gained 10 pounds before the surgery because of the stress. Will keep you guys updated on my progress.

I am still wearing my surgical bras but I need to buy some sports bra with front zippers in preparation for my return to work. The surgical bra helps with the pain and support but it's to bulky. I would appreciate any assistance where I can buy some supportive bras that are not expensive. Thank you so much.

It's been about six weeks now since my surgery. Everyday gets better. I am still swollen on the sides where I had the liposuction. The pain decreases each day. I recently purchased a bra from Contour MD online. Went to Walmart, JC Penney, Macys and Nordstrom in search for a comfortable bra. Everything I tried on would press into my incisions and I felt I didn't have enough support. They sale Various bras for breast reductions and many other procedures. I got the Careflex stlyle Bella post op bra and it is so comfortable and it was worth the $45 I spent. I just ordered another one in black. It's been such a joy to be able to try bras on that are so pretty and don't cost so much. The different colors and styles are great. Iam so happy to be in my size C cup and I was even able to get into some B's cup. I now look at myself and I am able to buy nice tops that I couldn't before. Let's not forget the pain on my shoulders and neck are gone. What a wonderful blessing. Thank you God!!
