Mark Gaon, MD - Account Suspended

Dr. Gaon is extremely professional and confident in his work. He knew exactly what I needed to achieve the look I wanted. My results exceeded all expectations. I would recommend Dr. Gaon to anyone who desires a breast augmentation, he is a miracle worker!

I was referred to Dr. Gaon by an Allergan rep who I trust completely, especially given her time spent with surgeons while working. Dr. Gaon was at the top of her list. After my initial conversation I felt more than comfortable moving forward, I didn’t need to compare to other surgeons. I had a few small complications after surgery (none having to do with the surgeon himself) and that’s when I was really able to get a sense of his “bedside manor...” from the moment he walked in he was able to calm and reassure me. I had a moment or two where I was freaking out inside, and he took control and instantly made me feel like it was no big deal and he was there to help. That’s hard to find. I appreciate his knowledge and expertise and would recommend him to anyone without a second thought. Very appreciative of the care received by him and his staff as well. All the ladies in the office are Amazing!

First day of surgery:

Coming out of surgery I was very sore. I immediately went home to take the pain killers and muscle relaxers. It's been super tough getting in and out of bed. My amazing boyfriend is here for me at every second helping me sit up and get out of bed. You would be surprised how much your chest muscles actually do lol. They feel really heavy right now I pretty much hold them up when I'm walking around to make them feel more comfortable. When I'm laying down I feel great though obviously. I've been using my right arm mainly to reach for the water on the night stand so my right tit feels more comfortable than the left. So, I'm trying to do small arm raises here and there to stretch out. I did find pain on my ribs lateral from my midline, above my belly button, under my [RS bleep] on both sides. They feel bruised for some reason and when I press on it, it feels like either bubbles of air or water who knows. Can't find a better way to describe it. No visible bruising. I'm not thinking too much into it bcs I just got surgery. I'm sure it has to do with the swelling. I'm taking small looks here and there under my bandage and I'm so excited to take off the bandage tomorrow to shower and put a sports bra on. I got the doctors okay to do so. Since I got surgery on a Friday, I won't see him until Monday morning.

Second day of surgery:

6:45AM- I'm having a hard time sleeping. I'm so used to sleeping on my sides it's just different not being able to move much. I have a long U-shaped pregnancy pillow I sleep with (don't judge till you try it lol it's amazing) so it's really comforting. It's a bummer I naturally drink a lot of water so it's been tough getting in and out of bed. I only woke up my boyfriend once to help me up bcs I just feel so bad waking him up three times a night haha. Plus, of course, I'm stubborn as hell and think I can do it on my own lol. I'm having more pain today but it's still early. I'll try to get some more rest now. Thought I'd write all this down now since I'm awake and it's fresh. Update later today. Update on bandages:  Finally cut of the bandages and saw the new [RS bleep]???? I'm really happy with the size. They're clearly swollen so I'm being understanding of that. I expressed to my doctor about the gap between my breasts. I didn't want a huge gap but same time I obviously don't want a uni-tit haha. I feel like they could be closer together though. Hopefully, again, it's the swelling. Once the swelling goes down I'm hoping to see the gap come together a little more as well as the firmness of my actual [RS bleep] go away. I'm trying to have a positive mind and keep calm bcs I just had them done and they need time to heal. So far not bad except the gap is bothering me. I'll post pictures to show you what I mean.

Third day of surgery:

Last night and this morning I'm constantly having sharp pains near my incisions and around my nipples. It hurts to come back up from being propped up or worse laying down flat. They're slightly starting to loosen up and not be so tight but these pains around my incisions are killin me. I'm going to try to take it easy today. Tomorrow is my appointment with Dr. Gaon to check on the progress. I'm excited to see what he has to say. Crossing my fingers that my size won't go smaller and they'll stay this big. I have some pictures to post up. There's a slight difference. Also tried to take pictures with both arms so you kind of see the difference between right and left. Left is stiffer.

Update on the [RS bleep] today: my right is doing great bcs I'm getting more exercise being right handed. My left is still pretty sore especially around the nipple. I went to my post op this morning and she said it was normal to have those pains bcs of the nerves getting used to the stretching. They look a little off bcs one is healing faster than the other lol. I'm surprised with how understanding I'm being of the healing process. They're sisters not twins. Super groggy lately from the pain killers and muscles relaxers-only down side when I'm trying to keep up with school. I'm waiting a week to post more pictures instead of taking them every single day. Oh yeah, the nurse also said there's still a bit more swelling and it should go down 10ish % which I got super bummed about! But she did say I won't even notice. Crossing my fingers!!:( I love the way they look right now besides the unevenness. I can't wait to put on a bra and find out what size I'll be- hoping 32D:))) just to add to the shaped implants--- I know everyone has their opinion on them but oh my goodness do I love them so far! They look so damn natural it's mind blowing. I'm petite so I didn't want the high profile cleavage up to my neck so I love these implants. **440cc high profile shaped** kk extra drowsy tonight so update later this week. -K

Dr. Gaon did such a fantastic job, I couldn't be any more happier. He was very informative from beginning to end. My healing process was so unbelievably easy, I would do it all over again if I had to! Thank you Dr. Gaon!!

From the consultation to the post op, I felt very taken care of. The office was professional and always had appointments that fit my schedule. Everything was very clear and explained promptly for my before and after care. I was extremely satisfied with the results and have been referring everyone who has questions about my augmentation. I feel great and thankful for suh a great team that has my perspective and best interest at heart. I came in with a vision of what my breasts could look like and they exceeded my expectations!

I had encapsulated implants that were 25 years old. Dr. Gaon repaired and replaced them. He needed to do extensive work removing scar tissue and making each breast as symmetrical as possible. I am elated with my results. I knew Dr. Goan was the right dr because he knew exactly what my issues were and how to repair them before he examined me.

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr.Gaon and his office staff. He made my decision comfortable and easy. Fast and easy recovery. Nice results even at the early stage. Would consider going to Dr.Gaon for other procedures. Clean and inviting office. Had follow-up calls the day off the surgery and after. Impressed with professional level.

400cc Allergan High Profile Bi lateral breast augmentation. Results were beyond my expectation. The Doctor is in his prime and extremely maticulous and takes pride in his craft as well as listening to your wants and needs to achieve the exact results that you want. Finesse Plastic Surgury far exceeded my expectations - I can't wait to see what they look like in the next few months.

I can't say enough about Dr. Gaon. I actually met him a year and a couple of months ago when I was diagnosed with two forms of Breast Cancer in the same breast. I was scheduled to have a lumpectomy, and a reduction on the opposite breast with the hopes that after the surgery they would somewhat match. Dr. Gaon accomplished that with ease. On one of my follow -up visits he let me know that after radiation the structure of the effected breast could change. He told me not to worry and when I had completed my radiation treatment he would/should be able to correct the damage and make them look amazing. In October I went to him for a consultation for a reconstruction. I had surgery in December (Implants and lift). It was by far the best decision I have ever made. You could never imagine just how much confidence this has given me after everything that has happened. Dr. Gaon is truly amazing.

I was researching board certified plastic surgeons and I came across Dr. Goan. I cannot tell you how much I love him! From the first consultation to my one year follow up, every visit has been great! The staff is warm and friendly and his work is genius!!!! I have referred my friends and family and they are all very pleased as well! My recovery from eyelid surgery was not that bad..... Just a little bruising. Everyone tells me how great I look and I couldn't agree with them more. Thank you so much Dr. Gaon and Finesse plastic surgery team!
