Mark Labowe, MD

After having my second child last year, my abdominal wall was pulled so far open that I looked like an alien was trying to burst through. Also had an umbilical hernia down lower and so much excess skin that I had to tuck it in my pants everyday. Since I had to get the abdominal wall fixed so I could continue to pick my kids up and the hernia, it seemed nuts not to have a tummy tuck at the same time. And then doing a breast lift at the same time seemed like the way to go. My D cups were hanging quite low and the skin had lost so much elasticity from breastfeeding two little ones. Updated on 7 Jan 2014: I stayed at an aftercare facility which ended up saving my life, literally! I was there for 4 nights and in my final night I felt dizzy, heart rate and blood pressure spiked and oxygen level dropped. The nurses called my PS who sent me for a CT scan. I had a blood clot in my lung. Was admitted in hospital and given blood thinners. Am still on them for a few months. So my best advice to all: go to an aftercare facility if you can or learn to check your own blood pressure and do it often! Also my walker was great the first two weeks post-op.

Best thing I ever did for myself! I was a 34 "D" by the time I turned 12. Was ashamed and embarrassed my whole life and got the wrong attention from boys. Mark Labowe MD was so kind and understanding. He made me feel like I wasn't "crazy" not to want excessive boobs!  He did an amazing job on the reduction. Meticulous as can be my breasts were perfect from post op day 1! Every tome anyone sees them (mammograms, etc.) they comment that they are the best reduced breasts they have ever seen! Minimal scars and they are even and perfect.
