i’m had an amazing experience! Dr Brown is so down to earth personable touchable he’s always available.He takes his time and give you one on one time. I love my outcome my results and i love the staff!
I absolutely love Doctor Brown and would highly recommend him. Not only is he an excellent surgeon but he is kind and cares about his patients. I'm amazed at how he corrected my breast revision done by another doctor in Macon. I will not go to anyone else again.
Ok I had my breast reduction surgery 10 days ago and I think they look pretty freaken amazing!!!!!! Dr. Brown is a awsome doctor, he took time to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied before and after my surgery.....I had my first appointment 10 days after my surgery where he removed my drains and I got to see my new girl and I was amazed that they looked so good especially coming from a saggy 38ddd.....I love my girls and will be going back for a tummy tuck after my birthday......Thank you so much dr. Brown u gave me exactly what I wanted!!!!!
Great experience got a mommy make over my body is amazing got sick a week later was hospitalized for unrelated reason but Dr.Brown was there to treat my wounds while in the hospital great bedside manners.
Dr. Brown is the best. He did a wonderful job for me. I'm going back to get more work done on myself. His staff is awesome. and the office was clean and smells good. I didn't have a long wait time. Most places have you to wait for hours.
Hello All, I am a week out of surgery and can't really say yet whether I'm pleased. I wasn't a very busty woman to begin with yet; after babies my breast "swung low sweet chariot" and I needed a change. My left breast was about a size larger than my right because I nursed mostly via my right breast. Initially my doctor and I decided that he would remove breast tissue from the larger breast to make them more symmetrical however; last minute we decided that the bigger boob was to luscious to destroy so he suggested that he liposuction fat from my oblique and place it into my smaller breast to try to even them out. Well......I'm still really swollen but the bigger boob still appears bigger and perfectly shaped YET, the smaller boob looks CRAZY! It's deformed looking to me. I won't even let my husband see them. My right breast is super full at the top and on the side near my armpit but the bottom is deflated. I just don't get it. The doctor claims that when things settle they will look more symmetric and I'll be pleased. Has anyone had an ugly breast turn into a butterfly? I guess I just wanted and needed to share with people experiencing my journey. Thanks in Advance XOXO Updated on 3 Aug 2015: I'll be posting photos of my healing journey. Here goes....my right breast is starting to take shape ????.
I heard about this doctor through family members who had procedures done. I'm please with my outcome. **** I'm thinking about getting fat transfer in a month and a tummy tuck as well. I think Dr. Brown did a fantastic job on my breast. Even though he had to do emergency surgery 2 weeks after the procedure. Do to blood clots in 1 breast. But it's been a year & every thing is getting better. Not a lot of pain
Hello, I am a 28 year old Mother of 3 children ages 10,7 and 11 months. I have always had large breasts but since having my last child and breastfeeding for 8 months I started to experience some issues with My Neck, Shoulder and Back. My current bra size is 38DD or 36DDD and I am 5'3 154 lbs. I decided after several months of pain and discomfort to take my issues to my PCP. Once my new medical coverage started for 2012 I scheduled an appointment and advised him of my Pain due to heavy Breast load. My Doctor checked me and stated that he thought I would be a Great candidate for the surgery and Immediately scheduled me to start Physical Therapy. I faithfully went to Therapy twice a week for 4 weeks which was unsuccessful in relieving my pain. Since Physical Therapy was unsuccessful I went back to my PCP to advise and immediately gave me a refferal to a Plastic surgeon of my choice. At this time I am scheduled to meet with 2 different Plastic surgeons before making a decision on who I would like to go with. I am keeping my fingers crossed that once I make my choice I am able to get this covered by Insurance.... I will keep u guys updated. Updated on 11 Feb 2012: I am so Scared that the insurance will decline coverage for this procedure. My PCP recommended the surgery but did not give me a letter to help my cause. When I asked him about giving me a letter he said that Thats all handled by the Plastic Surgeon. Is that True? Other than the refferal shouldn't he have supplied me with a Letter stating he found it medically necessary? When I completed my Physical Therapy All I was given was a copy of what was done and that it was unsuccessful in relieving my Pain. She did note that I have Kyphosis (I think thats how its spelled) but no where did it mention that she thaught a breast reduction appeared to be medically necessary :-(. Did anyone else go through this and was able to get approved?Let me know what u think PLEASE. Updated on 12 Feb 2012: I added some before pics Updated on 17 Feb 2012: Hello Ladies, I'm checking in to let you know what happened during My consult today.. I got to my appointment 15 minutes before my scheduled time to turn in my paper work, and to my surprise I was there waiting in an empty Lobby for Over 1 Hour. When I was finally taken to the back, the nurse asked me some questions, Played a DVD for me to see about the procedure and asked me to undress myself from the waist up. When The Doc came in and took my meausurments he advised me that He "Does not think Insurance will approve because to get me to the minimum requirement for insurance to pay he would have to remove a whole lot more tissue than I would desire. He did say that If I want he can submit info with amount of Grams I desire to see what happens, but I immediately asked him not to (I have another consult scheduled and was not really impressed by him because he had no before and after pics available for me to see). When I left there I felt heart broken, Disappointed and I Honestly wanted to hold my head and CRY. I spoke to my husband about it and he said that once I find a PS I am comfortable with have him/her submit the info to insurance and then we can see what happens (when I called UHC they advised me that with Our plan there are no minimum grams requried for approval, only had to be medically necessary).It seems like everyday the pain is becoming more and more unbearable. Keep me in your prayers Please! Updated on 28 Feb 2012: Hello Ladies, I am back to update u on todays consult with Ps #2. When I say the experience was completely different compared to Doc #1 I mean it. I felt so comfortable with this Doc and he allowed me to ask as many questions as I had and he also had alot of pics available for me to see. He Explained to me about most insurance requirements for coverage and what he believes would work best. He stated that he thinks what I will need is more of a lift with a minor Reduction. Although this is not what I wanted to hear I was pleased with Todays consult. The Doc took my pictures and advisedme that he will request to have 300 grams removed from both breast to leave me at a C cup. Now All I have to do is wait to see if insurance will approve me for the BR. The PS said that I should hear something within the next 2 weeks. Keep me in your prayers :-) Updated on 2 Mar 2012: I called My PS office to verify that info has been sent over to the insurance company for approval and they advised me that it has. I checked my insurance website and it appears that nothing has processed yet. I was wondering when should I start to call the insurance company about my Pre-Approval status? Updated on 14 Mar 2012: Hello Everyone, I first would like to thank all of you wonderful ladies for your Prayers and Support during this insurance process. I have called them everyday since they've received my paper work on March 2nd and the results are finally in and Wait For it, Wait For it... I have been APPROVED!!!!! I am so excited!! GOD IS GOOD... I will call my Plastic Surgeons office in a few days to schedule my date for BR... I am also going to get an estimate for Tummy tuck.. I wil keep u guys posted with everything!! Updated on 14 Mar 2012: List Pros & Cons, Advice you can offer others Updated on 20 Mar 2012: Hello Ladies, I just wanted to update you all that I have a date scheduled for my procedure.... I will be having Surgery in 9 days (March 29)... I am so excited, yet nervous.. I have never had General Anesthesia and is afraid of being put to sleep. My Mom and Siblings have been put under and the only bad reaction was Vomiting. I am praying that all goes well and I am leaving everything in the hands of the Lord. I asked My PS about the healing time and he said it varies but can be anywhere from 2 weeks to a Month. I have a trip scheduled 5 weeks Post op and hope that I am able to enjoy myself. I will call my PS office about my Pre-Op instructions.. O.k Wish me Luck ladies and I will keep u posted :-) Updated on 26 Mar 2012: Hello Ladies, as the day of surgery approaches I am begining to get more and more Nervous. I have been waiting for this day for about a year and now that it is almost here I feel a HOT MESS!! I baught some hoodies and Sweat Pants to wear during my recovery period, but I feel as if I so unprepared. I MUST say that I am a Very dissappointed with the staff at my doctors office, They seem so unprofessional because I called them a few days ago about pre-op and the lady had the nerves to get snappy at me talking about , "YOUR pre-Op has not been schedule THE HOSPITAL WILL CALL ME WITH PRE OP DAY AND TIME".I Felt like saying B*$@H Calm the F*&%K Down, because I am the client, Its My money that keeps your ass Employed... They didn't give me any info to help prep me for surgery and No one even mentioned to me to Stop Taking my prescription Medications that I was taking for Back Ache 2 weeks prior to surgery because it is a blood thinner (Thank GOD for the internet that I was able to Educate myself) ...Its funny how their demeanor changes once they have your money in their hand... On another note, I am so ready to get this over and done with. BTW My Friend came today so that may be why I am Venting so much. Any suggestions on things to get prior to surgery? Leave me a comment!! Updated on 28 Mar 2012: Hello Ladies, I had my pre-op appointment today, and all went well. I was advised to be at the hospital at 6 a.m. I will see my doc and the anesthesiologist prior to surgery. I am not sure how many hours my procedure is scheduled to last, but my tummy tuck portion was listed for 3 hours. I made my payment that was due to the hospital in full which allowed me to get a small discount on the breast reduction portion..Anyways ladies make sure and keep me in prayer, also I wanted to share a small prayer with you all.... Our Father who is in Heaven, I ask you to be in total control of everything that happens in the Operating room tomorrow morning, I ask you to guide the surgeons hands during my procedure that his work will be done to perfection lord and that all the aches and pain in my body will be gone as well, Watch over my loved ones so that their minds will be at peace as I am operated on, Please forgive me for any sins that I may have commited, I ask you that If I shall die before I awake I pray the Lord my soul to take...In Jesus name I pray, Amen!!....I'll be staying overnight at the hospital,k but I will have my Laptop and will update you ladies as soon as I can. Updated on 30 Mar 2012: Hi ladies.nnim alive. I'll update later.I stayed overnight at hospital Updated on 31 Mar 2012: Hello ladies..post op day 1 and 2 was the absolute worst for me. I was in so much pain especially in the stomach area. My doc actually made me stay 2nights in the hospital. One of the difficult part of it all was actually being able to breath after surgery. I was under anesthesia a little under 7 hours and I remember waking up to alot of pain in my arms.. i will upload a pic as soon as I am able to stand straight and get to my laptop. My boonies seem to be very perky Updated on 2 Apr 2012: Hello Ladies, I am currently 4 days post tummy tuck and breast reduction and I must say that today has been a turning point. I am feeling alot better (although I'm still in pain) I am able to move around more and my body is not acheing as bad as it was before. I am so lucky to have a great support team at home. I do feel bad because I can see that my 10 year old is very scared for me with all the pain that I have been experiencing, he gave me a HUGE KISS and said "Mommy I am so happy that u are back home".... Well I was advised to be at the hospital for 6 am but once I got there I sent to a room and was advised that I am actually the 2nd surgery for my surgeon today and that it would not be until around 11 a.m... I was a bit disappointed that I had to be there so early but in a way it worked out well because I was able to catch up on some sleep as I was unable to sleep the night before. I saw my surgeon around 11 is he did all the markings on me and then I was sent down to meet with the Anesthesiologist. I then signed some paper work and was rolled into the operating room. I remember hearing them say I will need to switch over to another table and I was Out.. When I woke up in recovery I was in ALOT OF PAIN. MY arms felt stiff and I was unable to really move, All I remember doing was Crying about how much pain I was in. They gave me some more meds and I was knocked out after a while...My surgery lasted approximately 7 hours total. My Doc said that I am going to love my results (I Think thats what they all say). He said my stomach is as flat as a board and my breasts are standing up tall. He removed 380 grams from the left and 300 from the right. He said he had some issues with getting the 300 from the right, but was able to do so at the end of the day.He also touched both my nipples and I did have sensation in both (I am happy about that) and he said that my belly button survived and it is a nice diamand shape). The most of my pain is in my Abdominal area, and my Pu$$y feels real swollen. I had a catheter in me for the first 24 hours after surgery so that may be the reason as to why I am irritated down below. I was able to wash up a little yesterday and today with a wash rag.. I think my breasts looks kind of small but I am hoping that it fits my body frame.. Updated on 4 Apr 2012: Ladies when I tell you, that I think I made the best decision on my surgeon I am so serious, He is the BEST!! I just paged him a few minutes ago and in less than 2 minutes he returned my call. I Told him that my Vaginal area feels really strange its very swollen and irritated. He ask if I just noticed this and I told him no but it feels strange and this morning the swelling went down some but it is still a bit swollen and feels extremely dry. He said it may be due to the way the compression garment is sitting on my vagina. He said that if I am still in Pain tomorrow to call him so he can take a look at it because he will be in the Operating room all day today. I will go back to see him on Friday where I will take a look at my scars. I will also add some pics :-) Updated on 4 Apr 2012: I added post op day 6 pics.. I think they are too small :-(...hopefully once I can stand straight ill feel different about them Updated on 6 Apr 2012: POST OP DAY 8, Today was a pretty good day, I went to the Plastic Surgeon today and was able to have my drain tubes removed from both breast (I didn't feel a thing), and he also said that I can start using neosporin around my nipple area. I go back to him on Tuesday to have my stomach drains removed. I was also able to drive a small distance to Walmart to pick up some cotton bras..... I added a new pic ladies, let me know what u think!! Updated on 11 Apr 2012: Hi ladies I am a day short of 2 weeks post op breast reduction and tummy tuck and I must say that i am almost 100% back to my regular routine. I went to my ps yesterday and got my stomach drains removed and I was able to take my first real shower since my operation today. That has been my highlight of the morning. Check out my new pics and let me know what u think. Updated on 18 Apr 2012: Hello ladies, I am 1 day short of 3 weeks post breast reduction and tummy tuck. So far everything has been coming along well. I started back with house work and cooking at the 2 week mark and this week I started walking upright at 90%..I also started back lifting my 1 year old periodically throughout the day. I noticed that my breast has dropped a little and the soreness is going away. .The only thing I can complain about is I noticed two of the stitches poking out from the sides of my right nipple. My p.s days that I can clip it with a sterilized nail clipper or he will do it for me on Tuesday at my 4 week visit. The tightness on my stomach is starting to loosen up some, but I think that I may develope a dog ear on the right side that may need revision. Anyways ladies I'll check back next week at my 1 month mark. Let me know if u notice any difference between week 1 and now. Updated on 18 Apr 2012: oh Ladies I forgot to mention that I am currently weighing in at 142 lbs...I am so happy with the new me. I saw some friend the other day and none of them mentioned noticing a difference in my breast size (Which is a Good Thing, because they don't know about my surgery), but one friend did mention that I looked really thin and I have a very small waist (which made me feel good on the inside, because that means my hard earned money was well spent)...Anyways I just wanted to share that info! HAPPY HEALING LADIES. Updated on 18 May 2012: Hello ladies I'm currently 7 weeks post op. Everything has been going pretty smooth. At 5 wee k mark I had puss coming from an small open wound by my right nipple. When I told my p.s about it he advised me to squeeze the area while on the shower to allow the puss to come out and apply neosporin around the area once dry. After doing that for a couple days the wound was able to close up. I also started using the silicone sheets on my lower breasts and stomach area 2 days ago...oh btw it appears that the payment I made did not include labs and pathology so I am still getting bills in the mail... I added some pics
Beauty is Pain & Pain is weakness leaving the Body. I had a hernia removal & therefore the insurance covered my full TT. Extreme pain but worth it. Happy.
Hi I am a 24 year old female, with 42HH size breast. I am looking to have a breast reduction but I am not sure about what Plastic Surgeon I should go to. I don't know anyone personally who has had the surgery. When I ask people if they do everyone says yes but can never tell me what doctor they went to. I went to a consultation yesterday the PS was Dr. O. A. Afolabi-Brown. Has anyone had a breast reduction done by him or know anyone who has? I need help and advice fast. an someone please let me know anything. Oh yeah its important that I find a great surgeon soon. I am trying to have this surgery within the next 3 months because I have already dropped my classes at school. I CANNOT drop them for the next semester as well. Thanks for reading.... Now PLEASE feel free to comment or message me. Updated on 16 Mar 2016: Ok so yesterday, my plastic surgeon's office called and told me that my insurance company has approved my br surgery. I am so nervous and lost. Honestly I'm not sure what to do or expect. What should I be buying? How should I prepare? Is there anyone who can give me some advice or has a surgery scheduled soon? Help me Ladies please! Updated on 25 Oct 2016: Before I had my surgery with Dr. Brown I was excited because I heard good things. I had one warning from a family member advising me not to go to him because of negative things she heard from others. I decided to go with him because he was the only surgeon who could get me in while I had a break from school and work, I very much so regret this. I chose convenience over my safety. After my surgery, I had many problems that he brushed off, I had an infection for months due to his negligence, I later realized this was a way for him to make more money (he wanted to perform another surgery). I could go on for days but basically my end results were two uneven breast, uneven areolas, Hideous scars and deep depression. On my follow up appointments I encountered other women who were experiencing the same thing. Whomever may be reading this please do not take a risk with your body by going to this doctor. He is very unprofessional and is only interested in cutting! I gave a one star rating because I had to id I could I would give this doctor a negative 10 star rating.
Looking at your pictures show that you have tight skin and you should benefit from Liposuction. My concern is an area above your Belly Button. You seem to have a localized loose skin there. This may be improved with Laser(which I do not do) or with a Breast Lift.
It depends! If you are a "good" candidate and using Silicone Gel, it will be about $6000.00 with me, but if you will be using Saline Implants, it may be less. Saline implants may be useful if you have marked difference in the size of your Breasts. Virtually everybody use Silicone today. The prize may also be higher, if there is a need to do Breast Lifts or Liposuction around the Breasts.
It looks as if the scars around your areolae have spread, but remain flat. It looks like hypertrophic scars that can easily turn into Keloids; not sure if you have had some treatments. I will suggest topical steroids. Although it is not indicated now, but you may want to avoid steroid injection around that area because your Breasts can absorb the steroids and make your breast skin thinner and lighter.
I think you can do a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction and Fat Transfer to the buttocks. Although there are some diabetic patients who do not heal well, to me, you do not look too bad. But you need to have good family support system after surgery. Make sure you avoid smokers around you. To get the BEST result, I will recommend a two stage procedure. Do Liposuction of your torso with Fat Transfer to the buttocks first and the Tummy Tuck several months later. But you will also need Medical Clearance from your primary care physician.
Looking at the pictures you have enough sources of fat for transfer, but the key is to first do appropriate Liposuction to shape your body and then go from there. Best of Luck
