Dr. Doft is pure perfection. Her professional demeanor is warm, caring and empathetic, and her skill as a surgeon is truly unparalleled. Dr. Doft has the eye of an artist and the meticulous skill needed to be the finest of surgeons.
Dr. Doft wowed me during a procedure I recently underwent in her office. She struck me as being highly competent, genuinely kind and caring and more than decent -- as good as it gets with a doctor, as far as I'm concerned. She blew me away -- and I was at a place in my life where I needed something good to happen. Her staffers are wonderful, too. I hope to be Dr. Doft's patient for a long time. It feels like a privilege.
I had a revision rhinoplasty and upper eyelid surgery about five weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Doft has an incredible eye and gifted hands -- she reconstructed my nose in such a natural, beautiful way that perfectly fits my face. She takes the time to understand how your face naturally moves in order to deliver an untouched look that just makes you look... prettier. She also won't try to suggest procedures you don't need. I can't say enough good things about her as a surgeon and a person (her bedside manner is unparalleled) and Michelle is an absolute dream. I would trust Dr. Doft with any elective procedure!
I'm 22 years old and was a 30G prior to surgery. I had my surgery exactly 4 months ago and I'm now around a 30C (I haven't officially been sized yet). I am IN LOVE with my new boobs - everything in my life has changed from my physical comfort to my self esteem. I had met with 4 other surgeons before my consultation with Dr. Doft, but I immediately knew Dr. Doft was who I wanted doing my breast reduction. She was one of the few doctors who I felt really listened to my concerns and wants going into this surgery. Moreover, her before and after photos showed an attention to shape and appearance that I felt like a lot of other surgeons lacked. On the day of my surgery, I was TERRIFIED (mostly of the anesthesia). Dr. Doft made me feel comforted and well taken care of. I knew I was in the best of hands. From there, things went pretty smoothly. The surgery went well and recovery was not bad at all. A couple of rough nights, but by day 2 post-op I was off of prescription pain killers and feeling relatively pain-free. I had a minor hematoma in my left breast that I needed to have drained a couple of times in the first month after surgery, which definitely scared me for a minute, but once that healed, recovery was fine for me. I can't express enough how wonderful my experience was with Dr. Doft. She was so kind, responsive and attentive to me throughout this process and I would recommend her to anyone considering this surgery!
I can't even put into words how perfect my experience was with Dr. Doft and Michelle. For years, I have been so self-conscious about my uneven, saggy breasts and finally decided to make a change. Dr. Doft was helpful, nurturing, professional, and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. It has been 2 months post-op and I feel 10000000% better. I couldn't have even imagined that I would look the way I do. I feel confident and amazing, and if I decide to get anymore plastic surgery, she will be the first person I go to! GO GO GO to Dr. Doft!
Dr. Doft is undoubtedly a gifted surgeon. I went to her having a complicated ear deformity, which resulted from first, second, and third-degree burns. Although my case was complicated, Dr. Doft was determined to give me a shot at normalcy regarding my ear's appearance. She carefully evaluated my case and developed a plan which would do just that. I could not have chosen a better surgeon; she treats her patients with the utmost care and compassion. I could not be happier with the results, and I even got a little bit more of my confidence back. Dr. Doft is a true professional, and should I need any further surgeries in the future; she will be my go-to surgeon.
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful and brilliant Dr. Doft is. If you're considering any plastic surgery, make her your first call. In under two hours, she literally changed my life. My genetically heavily-lidded eyes and perma-dark circles had been a source of insecurity my whole life, and had considered but never seriously explored blepharoplasty. I'd seen Dr. Doft a few times for Botox and knew that her goal is to give patients the most natural, best versions of themselves, vs a "had work done" look, so it was a no-brainer for me to go to her when I decided I was ready. She answered all of my questions, explained what to expect at every step, and made sure I was fully comfortable and confident throughout. And it was TRULY the best thing I've done, ever. For the first time, I wasn't embarrassed to leave the house without mascara (turns out I have really long natural eyelashes - who knew!) or under-eye concealer....because I didn't need to. The results are astonishing, and I've never felt this confident about my appearance. I look younger, more refreshed, and happier, and I cannot thank her enough. Also -- her Office Administrator Michelle could not be more kind, helpful, and collaborative. She prevents any and all logistical anxieties, brightens the day, and even makes sitting in the waiting area fun. :)
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Doft and couldn't recommend her more highly. My husband is in the medical field and she came as a personal recommendation from several of his colleagues. Her credentials are amazing and at my consult with her, I was immediately at ease and felt that she completely understood what I was looking for.Dr. Doft and her office were wonderful to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions I had ahead of surgery, and the day of my surgery went by easily - she spent time with me ahead of the procedure and even sent me home with a cute little goodie bag for recovery.Dr. Doft's work is beautiful and I am absolutely obsessed with the results. In just a few weeks, I've gained so much confidence and only wish I had thought to have this done sooner! I can't thank her enough and would trust her with any procedure.
I am so glad I chose Dr. Doft to do my tummy tuck and breast lift. After having my kids, I was left with diastasic recti that I was unable to correct enough to feel comfortable when working out (and in general). I also had a lot of excess skin, and suffice it to say, things were just very different after carrying two children. Dr. Doft is extremely professional, and she is an incredible surgeon. I am so happy that I had this procedure and I would not have done it with anyone else. She was so supportive throughout the entire process. She made sure I was comfortable with what would happen on the day of surgery, and she even called the day before to check in with me. Leading up to surgery, I went in for multiple consultations to have my questions answered. Michelle at the front desk was an excellent resource and was supportive as well. The day of surgery went great, and the entire team was just so phenomenal and took really good care of me. Being a mom, you worry about the recovery, but I was able to reach out to Dr. Doft easily during the recovery process. I always felt cared for and that my concerns were taken seriously. It was a process that was VERY much worth it, and I am so happy with my results. I would highly recommend Dr. Doft if you are considering this type of surgery.
I would encourage everyone to go and see Dr. Doft - she is incredibly thoughtful and my results were absolutely beautiful. I lost a meaningful amount of weight and was so proud of my overall transformation (mentally and physically), but there were parts of my body that made me insecure including my breasts and some pockets of fat. During my consultation, Dr. Doft listened carefully and also had an intuitive sense as a woman of what I wanted, but couldn't seem to verbalize. I knew in that moment that I had found the right surgeon. I felt instantly comfortable with her and her office manager (Michelle) was incredibly thoughtful in getting everything set up. On my day of surgery, Dr. Doft talked me through the details, and everything went incredibly well. My results are just beautiful and its been only six weeks - I am so happy to see my body and to see a reflection that matches how I saw myself on the inside. I am truly so grateful to Dr. Doft, and I would highly recommend her.
It appears that a suture or stitch has poked through your skin after the surgery. I would advise you to see your plastic surgeon so that she/he can remove the suture. This is not uncommon. Good luck!
If the prominence of your ears bother you, then I would advise you to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss otoplasty options. Many patients benefit from an otoplasty and the technique can be specified to accommodate your needs.
It is normal to have bruising and swelling during the first couple weeks after an otoplasty. The blisters will go away. They are likely from the bandage and will heal. The suture that you see looks like a dissolvable suture. I would advise your to return to your plastic surgeon to have her/him fully evaluate the ear and trim the suture. Good luck healing!
Not all plastic surgeons have a significant experience in otoplasty. I would suggest meeting with a few surgeons and looking at their otoplasty photos. It is important that their aesthetic matches yours. All surgeons are able to perform the surgery under local anesthetic. But having the surgery performed under local will mean that you will be awake the entire time and hear the surgeon's conversation with her/his nurse. Not every patient feels comfortable doing this. Good Luck!
No two ears are the same. Luckily, you never view both ears at once. Otoplasty will help remove excess cartilage and skin from your left ear so that it will look more like your right ear. I think that you will have a significant aesthetic improvement. Make sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
