19 Year Old, Breast Reduction - Olympia, WA
I was very nervous going into this surgical experience. It's a big decision to choose to have a breast reduction, especially at 19 years old. I was referred to Dr. Novia by a by a friend of mine. Right from the get go he made my experience very comfortable. I went from a size DD (almost a DDD actually) to a small C cup. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Very minimal scaring and no loss of nipple feeling. He did a fantastic job! I have much less back pain now. Clothes

Breast Reduction - Olympia, WA
For many years I have been extremely unhappy about my large and very uneven breasts. I am extremely active and I was beginning to have a lot of discomfort while exercising and hiking. I was also beginning to have a lot more neck and shoulder pain. I am so glad I had the surgery; I no longer have discomfort or pain while exercising and I feel a lot better about how I look. I just feel amazing!!

Reduction - Olympia, WA
Breast Reduction for pain, discomfort, rash. I had all the typical symptoms. I thought about having breast reduction surgery for several years all the while suffering with back, neck, and shoulder pain, rashes, and body image issues. I finally asked my family doctor for a referral. The whole process from consult to finish was done very timely. I am very happy I found such a wonderful doctor to perform this surgery for me.

Great to Feel Normal Again - Olympia, WA
After frustrations with back pain, dents in my shoulders, discomfort and clothes not fitting. I got a referral from my MD to see Dr Novia for breast reduction. I couldn't be more impressed with Dr Novia and his team. they were great liaisons with my insurance company, and walked me through the procedure. After my surgery, I almost immediately felt relief in my back and shoulders. He called that night to make sure I was doing ok and the results were better than i imagined.

23 Years Old and Super Satisfied with Breast Augmentation - Olympia, WA
Dr. Novia was everything I could have asked for in a doctor. His bedside manner is genuine and he really just wants his patients to be happy. He helped me a lot in figuring out exactly what I wanted and then made it happen. I never had to wait for an appointment as he was always on time or ahead of schedule. He is an artist and he used his artistic eye to correct an unevenness in my natural shape with the implants. I am a year out from surgery and couldn't be happier with the

I consulted several surgeons before choosing Dr. Novia to perform breast reduction surgery. I was surgery phobic, but I was having severe pain and discomfort because of my enlarged breasts.

The surgery was the best thing I have ever done for my self. I feel so much better. I am very grateful to Dr. Novia and his

one amazing doctor - Olympia, WA
Where do I start, I was actually tried twice to have this surgery in Seattle. Had some things go wrong under anesthesia. Gave up trying for a year. My weight was up and I felt sluggish....I wanted a change so I heard about Dr. Novia. I made an appointment and when I met him, he said he could do it, but he didn't think I would be happy and neither would he. He felt that I had something else that needed to be addressed before he would do the surgery. He sent me across the
I had pretty large breast probably 42 DDD by the time I was done breast-feeding. They were sagging and the nipples were not even an one of them maybe a little bigger than the other. I had back pain and bad posture and indents from my bra on my shoulders. They were just downright heavy, I couldn't run or do certain exercises. Bras were pretty hard to find. So I got approved for my insurance to get that reduction and the lift and my doctor was great I think he did a really good

I had a breast reduction surgery done by Dr.Novia of Olympia, WA, in August of this year and could not be any happier with the INCREDIBLE results than I am. I feel very athletic and my self confidence has sky rocketed!!! His office staff and he himself are very easy to deal with, wonderful to talk to, incredibly helpful and dependable. My husband and I could tell that he loves his job. I had done YEARS of homework and having this surgery was a very big decision for me. The looks
