Louis L. Strock, MD, PA

I went to two doctors. First in Dallas and second in forth worth. The first seemed pushy and didn’t get me choice I felt like he did just said this is what I do and the size I think. My second doctor spend almost 45 mins with us and actually let me try imparts on through my bra and took measure measuring of me. Let me Pick from 3 different brands and never made me feel like I was not a priority it him. So even thought he was a little more money I know I wanted him to do this procedure for me.
Day of sugary— everything went smooth. I ended up with mentor mod profile 405 under the muscle and through the the armpit. I told my doctor I rather be bigger then smaller. My doctor is also well know to do the armpit procedure and actually goes around teaching doctors and even wrote books on it. Anyhow, I got all marked up at 10Am and Went back. Got to recover with a bit of pain so have me some good meds through my iv. I was pretty nauseous but so glad I didn’t end up throwing up. It hurt just to cough couldn’t imagine throwing up also. But got dressed and went home and slept most the evening
1 days post op— woke up with quite a bit of exspecially in my armpits. And just soreness overall. My doctor has me a strict pill regiment and it was almost time for my meds. I have an amazing hubby who has been helping me with all!!! Going to just lounge around today.
I still have bandges in so haven’t seen a look at the girls yet but on Monday they take them off so I’m really looking forward to that.

Dr.Stock is one of the best. He takes his name to make you know exactly what’s going to be done and wants to make you have the right size for your frame! Great bedside manner and always makes you feel at ease.

Bandages off today! Finally got my first look at them and they look amazing. It’s going to take some getting used to having a fuller chest. I feel like I’m wearing fake boobs right now instead of them actually being mine. They put me in a 34D bra and fits perfectly right now. I have some swelling so going to be more diligent about icing them but I still can’t believe how perfect they look! My next appointment is on Friday so just a lot of relaxing till then.

Going in today to Dr Strock’s office, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I have done a fair amount of research on both his practice and he products used for implantation. I still had several questions about the motiva trial and pre and post op care etc. I kept a list of all my questions on my phone (I would suggest anyone looking into this do the same. The day of I forgot a lot of things I wanted to ask about, but the written reminder was just enough). Dr. Strock and his assistant were able to answer every one of my questions and then some things I hadn’t even thought about. He didn’t push me towards one product or another, allowing me the chance to see pros and cons of all options. I felt good knowing that this was not his first medical trial, but his third. He also has written several studies and works in education which makes me feel confident about his knowledge base. I was able to try different implants and they also have a 3-d scan app that allows me see what the implant will look like after completion. He didn’t try to push something on me that I wouldn’t like, and everything was very professional. I am excited about the procedure and will continue to update as I progress.

So, last week I had my last preoperative appointment. It was mostly paperwork and a few new measurements. I had to fill out all of my consents, a health questionnaire, and a simple psych self image evaluation (which I will have o repeat annually while I’m part of the Motiva study). It is finally starting to be real to me that I am going through with this.
As of today, I am supposed to stop taking all supplements and vitamins to make sure that nothing interacts with anesthesia during surgery. I’ve been on potassium for the past 2 years for low potassium, so we will see how I am feeling closer to surgery. My last level was normal with some room to drop if needed, so hopefully I’ll be good shot term. Also I’m not allowed to take any NSAIDs, so my history of migraines is a bit worrisome. I’m mostly nervous about post op pain more than anything else at this point. It’s just the unknown of it. 
So, this is just a short update post. Hope it helps anyone out there.

So today was the day of my surgery. I was very nervous and excited when I got to the surgery center at about 9:30 this morning. I was scheduled for 10:45. Because there were other people getting the same procedure I didn’t actually go to the OR until closer to 1 o’clock. Right now I’m at home I have not had to take my first dose of pain medication that should be about 9 o’clock tonight. I feel sore more like I have something sitting on my chest. There is a foam tape pressure bandage on there to keep everything in place. I can tell that there is some swelling because under my collarbone still feels soft and squishy. They look kind of huge in the pressure bandage. But I’m really excited; it still doesn’t feel real. Before surgery they gave me a dose of the Neurontin, which is a nerve pain medication. Also the Celebrex which is an anti-inflammatory pain medication. They also gave me a dose of Zantac which helps with nausea and upset stomach. Then once they started my IV they gave me a dose of Versed which helps with anxiety. I don’t remember much once they rolled me back to the OR until about 430 or so when the nurse asked how I was doing back in the PACU area. Everything that I have been told is that tonight late and tomorrow during the day will probably be my worst days. They don’t seem to want me to take the narcotic pain medication unless I absolutely need it and I haven’t needed it yet. After surgery they gave me Zofran and Phenergan to help with nausea and I have a scopolamine patch behind my ear also to help with nausea. Those make me kind of sleepy so I’m still a little loopy. Overall Dr. Strock did an amazing job and I am so thrilled to see the final result when I go back on Thursday and they remove the bandages.

Happy Birthday to me!

Dr. Strock and his staff are exceptional! I had a breast augmentation done by Dr.Strock and after just one consultation I knew he was going to be my doctor. He is a perfectionist and a miracle worker!

Excellent doctor and staff. Very pleased with the results. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend him without hestitation. Overall, the doctor and staff were professional and friendly.

I searched for the right surgeon for 8 months, find one i liked that had the best reviews and hands. The before and after pictures were really telling when i researched surgeons, he had the best and he specialized in the technique i wanted which was Transaxillary, through the armpit. He was the best in town. Dr. Strock in ft.worth. i wanted someone who knew exactly what would fit my body and look natural.

Things went extremely well in surgery..i went with 400cc moderate profile silicone. I went from a shrunken 34A to a 34D. I couldn't be happier with the results. Had my 1 week check up and the dr was extremely please, said they were perfect. I followed all post op directions to a T including icing and i sustained very little bruising. The incisions in the armpits are slightly irritating while they heal but would much rather have them there then under my breasts. So happy i do not have scars on my boobs. Once they heal the scars will be barely noticeable and just look like a crease in my armpit. I can't imagine having the incisions on my breasts then trying to wear these "training" bras for weeks. My Dr said the bras keep everything in place while you heal and helps to sort of form them. Highly recommend checking out this technique of placing implants thru the armpit. Make sure to find a surgeon specialized in this proceedure as many say they do it but once in their office they convince you otherwise and tell you all the cons. Im glad i stayed persistant and found someone who was confident in this technique and also teaches it to other surgeons.

Feeling amazing! Little early to wear cute bras, but got a chance to go shopping for them and it was so much fun to feel sexy again. Underarm scars healing well...boobs already softening and feel amazing.

I month already flew by. The twins are truely twins, they look perfectly proportionate and i couldn't be happier with my results. Scars are healing well and so far so good!

As soon as I had my first consultation, I knew Dr. Strock was the doctor I was going to choose for my breast augmentation procedure. I felt comfortable and positive that my concerns and needs were going to be met, and they were. It has been a full month since my procedure, and sure enough I could not be happier with my decision to have gone with him. I feel completely confident and comfortable in my skin knowing that Dr. Strock guided me to the best and most proportionate size.

I have had two wonderful experiences at Dr. Strock's office. Both for breast Augmentation and let me say, I did much research (and a few prior consultations with other surgeons) before I came to the conclusion of choosing Dr. Strock. My most recent procedure was for a breast revision with silicone memory gel implants since it had been 12 years and three children later. The staff, the procedure and my experience with Dr. Strock have been just as wonderful this time as it was 12 years ago. I trust Dr. Strock whole-heartedly and I know that no matter what, in the end, I will be 100% happy with my results. And let me say, I could not be happier!! My revision surgery went as smooth and as planned with no problems. I never felt nervous because when I say I trust Dr. Strock, I truly mean it! Dr. Strock is hands down the best Surgeon around!!

Dr. Strock goes above and beyond! I had a Trans Axillary Breast Augmentation and could not be happier! Dr. Strock is a perfectionist and a true artist. He is big on follow up care which is very important to me. I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Strock was able to give me back the body confidence I had sought out for years. He was very thorough in explaining surgical options and followed up after surgery on a regular basis to ensure the best results. I would not consider another plastic surgeon for any future procedures!!!

I've always wanted a breast augmentation when my breast stopped growing in junior high school. Being petite at 5"1 and flat chested really made me feel so self consious and insecure about the way my body looked. I also had to have padded bra and swimsuit season was dreadful. As I grew older, I still felt like a little girl instead of a woman because of my breast. I started doing intensive research when I had enough money saved and narrowing down to a few doctors I wanted a consultation with. The process was super long and I felt like I looked at a million reviews and boob pictures. In order to decide what my wish boobs would be and how everybody's before and after looked like based on their height, weight, ethinicity, implant profile/cc they got, and much more. Trust me, I tried to do my research to the littlest detail. I wanted my breast to be perfect to my standards. Especially since I will have to spend so much money and put myself through surgery. After I had my consultation, I knew I couldn't want too much longer to do my surgery!

I scheduled my surgery for July 20th 2016 at 10:45am, a lot sooner than I planned for, but it just happen to work out that my friend was going to be in town so I would have someone to take care of me after surgery. I was told no food after midnight in order to be prepared for surgery the following day. I arrived at the surgery center at 9:45 in order to fill out some paper work and get checked in. Check in required the nurse to go over last minute medical questions, urine sample to test for pregnancy, and to get started on the IV. Dr. Strock came and marked me before surgery and asked me if I whether be bigger or smaller when I work up after surgery, this is because he brought in 3 different sizes. One implant size that we discussed during pre op which was 350cc moderate plus profile silicone mentor implant, and the other two was one smaller at 300cc, and one bigger at 375cc. The reason he brought in 3 different sizes was because he would be able to tell exactly how big of an implant he could fit in my breast pocket in order to make the gap between my breast smaller ( I was worried about having a wide gap since my natural breast already sits far apart). So I told him whatever size you can fit that would close the gap as much as possible without looking too top heavy and staying proportioned with my body overall. Shortly after I talked to Dr. Strock the nurse came and wheeled me into the operation room, the last thing I remember was seeing the big, bright, overhead lights of the operation room. By the time I woke up I was in the recovery room surround by my friend and nurse. Nurse was there making sure I didn't need anymore medication and to assess my pain level. I slept the ride home and for the rest of the day since I was drugged up from the pain medication. The next two days were full of pressure and discomfort, as well as sleeping propped up on the couch. I was all wrapped in a bandage so I couldn't see what my boobs look like until I went to the 3 day post op. At the post op appointment I wait for 30 to 45 minutes after my appointment to see Dr. Strock. When the nurse and Doctor finally came in, they unwrapped my bandage and put me in a surgical bra and compression band to push my boobs down. I was surprised on how big my boobs were! The whole appointment felt like a blurr because I was still in discomfort and just wanted to go back home and lay down. Dr. Strock gave me his personal cell to contact him for emergencies or any questions in case I can't reach his after office hour emergency line. I was directed to continue with my dosage of medications and that I can start showering, but just make sure I keep my incision dry. Then made an appointment to see him in one week.

So during this time I would say the most discount is from the swelling of the breast and also wearing the compression band. The swelling of the breast resulted in the heaviness of the breast and the strain it put on my back. I couldn't get up off the couch without someone helping me up by pushing me to sit up. The compression band was also discomforting because it put so much pressure on my incision since I got the incision cut under my arm ( that was Dr. Strock's specialized incision point, although he could perfect any incision site). I stopped taking my Oxycodone after the first day just because I didn't want to be all drugged up. I took my muscle relaxer here and there but completely stopped after the 4 or 5 day. The rest of the medication were required to take. Showering was a lot super hard, especially trying to wash my long hair. This was due to the fact that I couldn't raise my arms and because my incision was fairly new. I took extra precaution so I didn't shower until the 5th day, just clean my body with a wet hand towel, but had my friend help me wash my hair. I didn't start eating normal until the 3rd day and even then, it was hard to consume the same amount of food. I got better day by day and it became easier to do things and get up on my own. I went to see Dr. Strock again for my 1 week post op and he was pleased with the way my incision was healing and told me how important it was to keep weAring my compression band even if it is uncomfortable. He said the band would help me push my boobs down but also bring them closer together to minimize the gap between my breast. He cleared me to stop taking most medication so that I could start driving. He also told me to start doing small daily exercises of moving my arm to the side and slowly up so I can regain full motion in my arm. He just told me at the next appointment we can see about removing the surgical tape that was put on top of my incision. So I have 2 more days until my 2 week post op! Oh and I realized my boob is healing at different pace, one is smaller than the other due to the decrease in swelling!

Today I went in for my 5th week post op. I've been getting a lot more use to my breast but they still feel kind of foreign to me from time to time. I have had a lot of dry skin on my upper body and sometimes very itchy too. Not sure if it's the medication or other causes. Sometimes at night it's hard for me to sleep because my boobs get really hard and it causes discomfort. But for the most part, my boobs are softing up and don't have too bad a case of morning boob any more. Driving has became easier and I pretty much have full range of arm motion back. I do have to keep reminding myself to stand up striaght because I tend to hunch over more without noticing because of heavier boobs. Ok so at post op, Dr. Strock told me I'm cleared for mild cardio and lower leg workout; but no weights or upper body workout. I'm off of my dreaded compression band!! Yay!
