Dr. Sadowski performed a lower body lift and arm lift on me after a significant right loss. She and her staff were thoughtful and highly professional. I am 7 weeks post-op and my recovery has been a breeze. The results are much better than I anticipated. No issues at all. Dr. Sadowski is truly a skilled surgeon.
I highly recommend Dr. Sadowski! She performed my breast augmentation and it came out absolutely perfect, she is an artist. It was the best decision I ever made and she knows exactly what she is doing. I now continue to go to her for botox, fillers etc and would trust her with anything.
Dr. Sadowski was extremely professional and explained every step of the process in great detail. My experience was exactly as expected, and I am very happy with the results! Would recommend absolutely!
I loved working with Dr Sadowski, she understood exactly what I was looking for and made my vision a reality. I got rhinoplasty and she kept my nose looking extremely natural while fixing my breathing and improving the overall appearance of my nose and straightening it out. It's the best decision I've ever made.
I am 52 years old and was a 34 L before my surgery and I am 7 weeks post op and I am a 34 D. I can not explain what a dramatic change this has been. I couldn't be happier! This was life changing for me. I am so happy that I did not put it off any longer. Both surgery and recovery was complication free.
After much research and consideration, I got lip injections today! My lips are not tiny to begin with but I have always loved fuller lips. My lips are tattooed (permanent makeup). When I got the tattoo done, my lips were swollen for a few days....I loved it! This is what got me thinking about lip augmentation. My lips are asymmetrical (the right side of my top lip is smaller and a bit of a different shape as you can see from my before pic...its not terribly noticeable in person). The doctor injected me with 1cc of Juvederm Ultra XC. I was numbed with a topical cream for about 15 mins. The actual procedure hurt less than I had anticipated and took about 15 mins. Minimal bleeding. No bruising at all. The numbing cream wore off a few hours ago and now my lips are feeling achy. So far, I LOVE the results!! Updated on 7 Mar 2018: I changed my review from Worth It to Not Sure. Its been two days since my fillers. I was loving my full lips so much until today...now I am unsure. They are very lumpy. I have 4 lumps. One on the bottom middle of the upper lip that is noticeable when I smile. I will start massage gently in a few days. I am nervous that when I massage I might lose more filler. I will give it more time, I just hope this is not a $700 disappointment. :( Updated on 7 Mar 2018:
So at 52 I really don't have a lot of lines/wrinkles. I do have moderate discoloration and general sagging in my mid face, especially around the mouth. I had a lot of periorbital wrinkling (the space above the lips), not when my face was at rest but when I was talking or chewing. My doctor recommended restoring cheek volume via Radiesse and smoothing out lip lines with Volbella, along with a bit of Botox in the forehead. Updated on 23 Apr 2017: And I can't figure out how to edit my review.
I had a tummy tuck, hernia repair, and breast reduction with lift two weeks ago. I am so happy with the results! Dr. Sadowski was very patient and caring. She answered all of my questions and basically just took the time. Her bedside manner is excellent. I am 39 and a mother of two. I never really considered plastic surgery until I was depressed looking in the mirror. Dr. Sadowski has now changed that for me. I am so pleased with the results! Her office is convenient in Cheatnut Hill Square. I would recommend this amazing surgeon to all my fiends and family.
I wanted to finally write a review for the wonderful results I've achieved with Dr. Sadowski in terms of both facial rejuvenation as well as for trigger finger hand surgery. Based on my multiple experiences with her, I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a compassionate and highly competent plastic and reconstructive surgeon! Facial rejuvenation. I'm a man in my 40s, and age is starting to catch up to me. I originally sought Dr. Sadowski out for Botox for facial rejuvenation. More to the point, I've been told that when I'm upset at work, my facial expressions telegraph more emotion than I'd like as a manager. I also occasionally get headaches, and had heard that Botox can help there too. In terms of treatment, I wanted a natural look -- I didn't want it to be obvious that I'd gotten Botox. She is such an attentive and caring surgeon, and I have been absolutely delighted with my results which are absolutely everything I'd hoped for -- head aches relieved, a natural look, and stress-brow eliminated. I'm a repeat customer for life! Hand surgery. I had been suffering from severe pain due to a trigger finger in my dominant hand. The pain had gotten so bad that it was waking me up in the middle of the night. Under Dr. Sadowski's care, we attempted conservative treatment first via a cortisone injection. This helped for several months, but after the trigger finger returned we decided on surgery. She performed the procedure in her beautiful clinic in Chestnut Hill. She thoroughly explained the procedure, as well as what to expect afterwards. My recovery went even better than expected, and I've regained 100% function in my hand again, which is completely pain free. Amazing!
Dr. Sadowski delivered everything she promised! I am a "need-to-know" person, so before the surgery, she walked me through the process, which greatly reduced my anxiety about the unknown. In the hospital, she introduced me to the anesthesiology team and made me feel relaxed and secure. Afterwards, recovery was even quicker than she said. The results still make me happy when I look in the mirror. Instead of sagging, droopy eyelids, I see the natural contour of my eyes! I don't look tired at 10 in the morning and it helps my confidence as I meet new clients in my business! I totally trust Dr. Sadowski for her high level of knowledge, care, and skill as a surgeon.
Hi Sue -Hopefully, you have already seen your plastic surgeon and had an in-person exam. I sincerely hope that you have not had any injury to your breast or to the implant itself. At that time, your surgeon can discuss the results of your ultrasound. If your plastic surgeon set it up ahead of time, you should have cosmetic health insurance to help cover any costs of dealing with postoperative complications. It is something that I provide for all of my patients.My best wishes for your health and happiness in the new year.
Your question is a really good one. Bra companies, unfortunately, label bras by a letter and number system. a 34 B, for example, would be different from one company to the next. Why? The bra company does not label the bra with how wide the breast is on the chest, nor does it label the bra for how tall the breast is. Thus, a 34B from Chantelle is very different from a 34B by Natori.By saying you are looking for a "full B", implies that you are looking to be slightly larger than the average woman. However, there are other things to consider, such as: how much cleavage will the new breast create? Will the breast be more soft or more firm? Will I be able to wear off the rack clothing if I choose this size?These decisions can be made with confidence with the help of your board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes that 2016 is your best body so far!
Although Juvederm can be used for this indication, I prefer a softer hyaluronic acid product, such as Belotero. The injection amounts to start are usually small, and would likely be less than 1 syringe. I expect that you would have a very nice result in contour, although the dark color may require addition of a topical agent to smooth coloration. I hope that this answers you question, and best wishes for the New Year.
Thank you so much for your question Valeria. There are a couple of things to consider here. The first is the skill of the physician injecting the neuromodulator. Regardless of the dilution, the number of active units of the drug is the most important component of neuromodulation. Increased dilution is helpful when injecting smaller amounts over a greater surface area, and when migration is a welcome effect. In order to find the expertise you desire, I would recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon. The second issue is whether over time, a neuromodulator such as Botox can have a diminishing effect. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Some people will develop resistance to the medicine, especially over prolonged exposure. You may require a different neuromodulator to avoid this problem.I wish you well and hope you have a happy holiday season.Kind regards,Rita Sadowski, MD
Thank you so much for your question. I answer this question a lot, both for women with breast augmentation, as well as for women seeking breast reduction. To understand the answer, I started making bras myself. Below I will share what I have learned with you.The support of the bra mainly comes from the band itself. Less of the support comes from the cup, and almost none of the support should come from the strap. While you are healing from a surgery, you will want to avoid any metal or plastic wires, as this will poke or rub at the incisions. After healing, you can choose any bra that feels comfortable to you.Things that will make a bra BAND MORE supportive are the following:1. A full band (meaning that the fabric goes across the chest under the breast). If you have a little tab of fabric between the cups, then this isn't a fully banded bra.2. Non-stretch material in the center of the band in the front. I know, we all think stretchy is the way to find comfort, but if you aren't being supported, then you will not be comfortable. If you are checking out two companies with similar styles, less stretch is better.3. A band that goes lower onto the rib cage. You may have seen bras that look like mini-corsets. These bras give greater support.4. A less elastic back band. The more stretch you have at the back of the bra, the less supportive it will be. Most back bands are made with power net. You want it to stretch something between 20% and 40% to get good support. If you can stretch the back and increase the length by more than this, you are losing support.5. Lateral support bars. This is seen at the side seam, and is a vertical bar of either plastic or spiral metal boning that provides an additional lateral "boost".Things that will make a bra CUP MORE supportive are the following:1. Non-stretch material, especially along the lateral aspect of the cup.2. More fabric to cover the breast.3. A great fit - gaping of the fabric is not good. If you do not have perfect symmetry between your breasts - and almost no woman does, you can create a "fix" by finding small padding to fill the smaller cup. Joann Fabrics offers a nice line of bra cups in various sizes and shapes.I really hope that this was helpful for you. Best wishes in getting that good night's sleep.
