Randal H. Rudderman, MD

I would highly recommend Dr. Rudderman and would not hesitate to return to him in the future if I needed/wanted another surgery. Dr. Rudderman and his staff were highly professional. Dr. Rudderman took his time listening to my concerns, thoroughly explained the procedure, and did not try to talk me into replacing my implants, which I really appreciated! He was honest about what I should expect from the surgery and the results. I did not have to take anything but Tylenol after the surgery for pain. I am 10 weeks post-surgery and very happy with my results!

Dr. Rudderman did an exceptional job with my explant surgery. He is a very competent and compassionate doctor. My healing was surprisingly quick. I only needed to take Tylenol for a couple of days post surgery. I had a few questions in the days following my procedure and I was able to speak with him directly. His staff was warm and welcoming throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to return to his practice in the future.

Dr. Rudderman and his Team (Lauren & Ashley) were extremely professional, courteous and diligent with every step of the process for my breast implant exchange, peri-areoral-mastopexy and liposuction surgery. They took the time to go through every single detail, patiently answered all my questions and sat realistic expectations of surgery results. I am so very grateful to each of them. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rudderman.

My experience was smooth from the beginning to end. He told me the pros and cons of what I wanted, the look I was going for, etc. I booked my appointment and am very pleased with my breast lift results. I have been wanting to have breast lift surgery for over 10 years and he made me feel at ease and less anxious to do it. I am so happy that this was done and I can wear clothes more comfortably.

Dr Rudderman was my 3rd consultation for Breast Implant Removal. He took his time asking my my health history why i deceived to remove my implants. He listened to my concerns, gave me advices and told me what to expect after the surgery. He explained the process of the surgery, show me what i'd have left of my breast tissue. He literally went over my list of questions without me asking. I trusted his professional opinion. After the consultation, . I felt very comfortable to have him as my surgeon.

Dr Rudderman is an excellent surgeon & truly cares about his patients. His priority is his patients health & feeling better and is very knowledgeable of BII. I highly recommend him if your considering Breast Implant Removal.

I have A cup breasts and after nursing my 3 children they have stretched and sagged. I have gone back and forth for years about getting implants. I had a consultation and given my goals and concerns, my surgeon recommended a lift without implants. This should increase upper pole and reduce the size of my areolas to give me a more youthful look while staying natural. I'm nervous. But I feel like I'm in good hands with my surgeon. I trust him.

The preop was done over the phone (due to COVID-19) and it went well. I read over the preop packet and I’m getting more and more nervous about anesthesia, blot clots, dying on the table etc. All of those things they have to mention in the packet just freak me out even though I know they aren’t likely. I’m also nervous about scarring. I will be getting an anchor (inverted T) incision. I asked about other incision options but Dr. Rudderman is confident I’ll get the best results with the inverted T. I am staying calm by thinking about how much better I’ll look when it’s done!

Surgery is tomorrow and I am SO NERVOUS! I’m preparing the house, making meals for myself for recovery, and trying to keep calm. I’m so excited! I’m so scared! My A cup breasts are so low and flat. They did a great job feeding my children and for that I am grateful. But it’s time to lift them! Hoping the lift gives me more upper pole fullness even though I have very little fat in my breasts. I may do a fat transfer or implants in the future if the lift doesn’t give me enough upper pole.

I had my breast lift today! Dr. Rudderman spoke with my husband afterword said everything went well! I have bandages and gauze and a surgical bra so I have no idea what my breasts look like under there but I’m feeling OK, pain is under control and I go in tomorrow for the post-op. I have drains and my left breast is draining more and my right breast is bleeding through the bra a bit. So far so good!

It’s been 7 hours since my breast lift. I’m feeling good. I took my pain pill as directed & I’m also on Z-pack antibiotic. I haven’t needed my anti-nausea medication so far. My right breast seems to be bleeding more. I called Dr. Rudderman about it and he was SO KIND and reassuring on the phone. He said it was normal to bleed through the bra. He didn’t seem annoyed by my call & reassured me that the surgery went well and that so far everything is normal and going well. I’ve been a bit anxious about this whole experience so his comforting words meant a lot to me!
I ordered these button front and pajamas from Old Navy and Gap & they are working out nicely. Easy to change into even with all of these bandages and drains. I’ll update again tomorrow after my post-op appointment!

My little A-cup boobs are lifted! It’s the day after surgery. I had my post op appointment with Dr. Rudderman’s nurse, Mallory. She said I need to keep my drains in and I can come back in day after tomorrow to maybe get them out. She fitted me in a new soft bra and took off the gauze. I got to see a glimpse of the results! I still have tape all over but from what I can see I’m really happy with the results! Some bruising and bleeding but nothing abnormal. Happy happy!
I’m still taking 1/4 of my pain pills instead of the whole pill and that’s managing the pain. No nausea. I’m feeling good!
I wish I could shower! I can’t shower for a couple more days due to the drains. It’s no biggie, and I’m happy to do whatever necessary to get the best outcome. I just feel a little dirty haha!
Dr. Rudderman and his staff are friendly. This has been a good experience so far!

Day 2 after breast lift surgery. I didn’t need my pain pills this morning! I’m sore, but it’s not too bad. I have some swelling and bruising. I called the office about it and spoke to a nurse - they are SO NICE and friendly on the phone. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow at 10am.
At my post op appointment they gave me a Bali bra to wear which is more comfortable than the surgical bra. I removed the Bali bra for just a moment today to snap some photos of the swelling. I uploaded the photos to my patient portal so Dr. Rudderman and the nurses can see the swelling and bruising. It is probably not a big deal, but I feel good knowing that they can check out the photos and give me feedback/reassurance. I LOVE my breast shape and perkiness. Dr. Rudderman did a great job with that. I still haven’t seen my nipples/areolas so I’m eager to see that too. Tape is still on until my 1-week post op appointment when they change it out. Overall I’m feeling happy and so so glad I did this!

Before and after side-view of my A-cup Breast Lift! Such a difference! Love it!
I am glad I didn’t get implants. Just lifting these tiny little breasts has made them look so much better!
(Oh -The nurse called back and said the swelling I had this morning was normal. Phew!)

I got my drains out yesterday and was able to shower this morning! My husband helped me shower since I was nervous about getting too much soap in my drain-holes. I haven’t needed any pain medication. I have more bruising today than yesterday, so my breasts have a greenish/yellow color to them but they aren’t too sore. I still have the paper tape on the incisions and it will stay on until I see Dr. Rudderman for my 1-week post op appointment next Wednesday. The nurse said he will remove the tape and then put new tape on at that appointment.

Day 2 without drains (you can still clearly see the drain holes!) and I’ve got a lot more bruising and on my left breast, a dark purple red splotch. Really hoping it’s not a hematoma - I don’t really know if it’s dark bruising or what is going on. It doesn’t hurt- it’s just a little crazy looking! I plan to call Dr. Rudderman’s office in the morning and upload these photos to my patient portal. They are always so kind and reassuring about all of my concerns.

I had my 1-week appointment today and got to see my breasts for the first time without the tape on them. I’m so happy with these AMAZING RESULTS! Dr. Rudderman is an artist! I couldn’t be happier. If you’re thinking of getting a breast lift, go with Dr. Rudderman.
I’m still early in the healing process, so with time the scars and shape will improve. I’ll post more photos in time once the bruising dies down and incisions heal more.

I don’t know how Dr. Rudderman took my tiny deflated breasts and turned them into this perfect shape, but he did it! No fat transfer, no implants, just a magical lift. I wish I had done this sooner!

I am so happy with my breast lift! My left breast is looking great but my right one is getting darker with blotchy bruises (it’s OK, it’s a normal part of the healing process!). My nipples are pretty dry from the tape as well. My favorite thing to look at is my side profile. So perky! I am changing my tape every few days and today it ripped off a scab at the bottom of my right breast and started dripping out blood. I keep calling Dr. Rudderman’s nurses Kate and Mallory for reassurance and they are just amazing. So kind and patient. I just love them! I am looking forward to them healing completely.

This photo shows before surgery and at 13 days post op. I still have lots of bruising especially on the right breast but the change in shape is amazing!

I have developed a hole at the base of my right breast. Dr. Rudderman’s office has been very kind and responsive about this issue and I’ll be seeing Dr. Rudderman in person in a few days. A little hole has also developed under my left nipple and I am hoping it doesn’t get any bigger!! Aside from the holes I am really pleased with my healing. I love the shape of my breasts and I think Dr. Rudderman did a great job lifting them. I just can’t wait until I’m more healed. I’m having to put gauze under my right breast because of the bleeding hole. It has been 6 days of having this hole be open. I wish it would close up!

My two holes - one under my right breast and one under my left nipple have formed. They seem to be getting bigger tonight. I plan to call the office in the morning and send them these photos. Dr. Rudderman and his staff are delightful and easy to get in touch with. The holes aren’t too painful but they scare me a little.

Updated on 1 Jul 2020:
I saw Dr. Rudderman about my holes today. He gave me antibiotics and told me to stop wearing the tape for a bit- just soft bras, no tape or ointment. He said it’s going to be OK and he feels confident I’ll heal up. He is a great doctor! I appreciate him and his team so much. They are so attentive and take all my concerns seriously.

It’s taking a while to heal, I still have an open wound under my breast. My doctor is great and will be seeing me weekly until I heal. I’m still on antibiotics. Can’t wait to heal!!!

Healing has taken longer than expected, as I developed a hole/wound under my breast. Thankfully, I have the best surgeon and he has been seeing me weekly and seeing me through this process. I’ve been on antibiotics and applying ointment and gauze daily.

I’m all healed and pleased with my results!

The treatment was great! I’ve had many micro-needling treatments over the years in different states where I’ve lived at top places and hands down this was the best one. The rejuvapen NXT treatment seemed like it made more of an impact than others. Especially on the lines around my mouth and eyes. The aesthetician did a fabulous job listening to my concerns and introduced me to a growth factor (Tensage 40 from Biopelle) she used during the treatment and had me use the rest of the little ampoules for 3 days after. This made a world of difference. By far I would recommend this micro-needling treatment above others!

This man is an artist!! I had my explant surgery on Tuesday, November 5th. I did not need any pain meds...at all. I will go back for a lift and fat transfer after the first of 2020. His bedside manner is wonderful, he took his time with me and my partner

Wonderful. Very intelligent, detailed surgeon. Had a great experience from consult to post op care. Great bedside manner. Great support staff and most importantly excellent results. My incisions are clean and neat. Very precise work, it shows. Would recommend to anyone.
