This doctor is the same one who put in my saline ones years ago. I am 11 days post op and he did a breast lift with 685 "Gummy Bear" implants and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Gee really knows his stuff. Took his time, made sure everything was correct including my comfort, care, and knowledge he has. His perfectionism is down pat. I was under for a long time, 6 hours, because he took his time. I never had it under the muscle in my other two surgeries, but he decided to do under and he knew this would make the best look for me. I would go to him for anything. thank you Dr. Gee.
Getting a tummy tuck- almost circumferential, liposuction, fat transfer to tear trough and bottom. I was initially scheduled to have this procedure April of 2014 but 2 weeks prior to the date I had a hypertensive crisis. My blood pressure was reading 270/180. Crazy. I survived this and a tumor was found on my adrenal gland. It was the probable cause. I had it removed instead of my tummy tuck. My blood pressure is way way better now. I only take one pill now and will be stopping that soon too. Fast forward to now. Finally getting it done. Woohoo!!!!! Updated on 4 Sep 2015: so going in this morning for my procedure!!!

A little ischemia to belly button but he says tissue underneath is good. Not worried just may slough I'm a little as symmetrical in the hips/waist. Way to soon to tell anything is permanent. I'm not worried. Lots of swelling which is the way it is for a while. Still have my drains. They are draining a lot. Not bothering me. Pain lots better have not needed a pain pill all day for the first time. Took a couple last night. Will probably take some tonight. Sleeping well in the recliner. Diet is good. Just have a constant tightness throughout abdomen and vulva. Breathing getting better. Dr says take it easy this week can take short walks during day. That's it. Going back next Thursday to check on drains. Love the low scar/ incision in front. Here are a few pics. Not great but hopefully you can see a little progress.

Always wanted to improve my facial appearance but was hesitant with post OP issues. So my dearest friend Darlene encouraged me to follow through with my self-improvement goals. Had septoplasty, rhinoplasty, eboplasty and chin implant at Melrose Wakefield hospital. My husband dropped me off but I never felt alone. The staff was AMAZING! Nurses were comforting and Dr. McBride administered the perfect amount of anastesia. Evidenced my no post OP side-effects (I'm taking multiple Rxs for chronic medical conditions). Still in bandages with minimal swelling/bruising but already feeling optimistic towards achieving final results!
I went to DR GEE after consulting him in person the summer before and contacting him before coming for the operation (I live out of country) to make sure everything was in oder. When I arrived I found out they did not make the OP arrangements!!! SO he talked me into the endospicdic (sp?) cheek lift!! WORSE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE that I am still paying for every time I look in the mirror. He really RUINED my face from day one. I HAVE A big, fat face now with big fat cheeks and my jowls are worse then ever. It seems he pulled the fat pads DOWN not up - or that he loosened them but didn't follow through. I still have a numb upper lip and a lump in my head - but the worse is the self confidence he stole from me. NOW - even though I am completely terrified of possible worse results than his, I am looking for a doctor to correct his mistakes. I planned only on doing a fl once - and I am tight on money - and I and YOU cannot trust a doctor just because it says he is board certified - this is not a doctor - this is a careless "person" looking for money so him and his wife (who works there too) can retire in style. DO NOT GO TO HIM I don't care if you find 10 good reviews for this one - DO NOT GO TO HIM!
My insurance company just recently approved my breast reduction surgery for August 17th. I'm so excited but nervous. Always have had a large chest. Was a DD before kids, now a 40G (though I know my right is significantly bigger than my left). I'm not getting the "lift" just the reduction that the insurance covers. I hope they'll turn out decent looking. They are very long and heavy. My plastic surgeon says they are the longest he's ever seen, which is slightly embarrassing. Would love to hear other stories of women in similar situations. ALSO, I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old. The dr says it'll be three weeks until I can lift him again. Is this the real deal? Thank you!
