Excellent care! Referred for maintenance on implants after cancer surgery

Excellent care! I was referred to Dr Bartholomew by my oncologist for maintenance on my breast implants after cancer surgery in 2009. He made me feel great with the encouragement of being able to make me look more symmetrical

Hourglass figure - he is a true artist of his craft

To say I am THRILLED with my results after tummy tuck and liposuction would be an understatement! Dr. Bartholomew is an exceptional surgeon, a true artist of his craft. He is a very kind, professional and took the time to explain procedure and what to expect. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family!!

Thrilled with my results 1 wk post breast implant exchange

I’m thrilled with my results 1 wk post breast implant exchange, capsulotomy/mastopexy. I was surprised that I had only minimal discomfort after surgery. Dr Bartholomew is a highly skilled and thoughtful surgeon, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!

Tummy tuck for c-section Kangaroo pouch gave me my sexy back!

I have been wanting a tummy tuck for the past 17 years due to the extra “” kangaroo pouch “” I obtain from having to C-sections. Dr. Bartholowmew was amazing, he was very informative, made sure that I was comfortable with what was going to happen, is always available for any questions or concerns I might’ve had. I am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Bartholowmew gave me my sexy back. I tried to upload before an after pictures, but it wouldn’t let me. I’ve already got three people that are going to be using Dr. Bartholomew for their future cosmetic surgeries.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

Worth ItCapsular Contracture Treatment

H o l l y

Ruptured Implant with Capsular Contracture Surgeon, Portland, Oregon

I began experiencing pain and tightness in one breast, and my skin felt thicker on that side. I informed my GP and of the fact that I had implants (placed in 2008). She said that breasts change as women approach menopause (age 50). I questioned why only one breast would be affected. She said each side of our body different-which seems logical. The pain continued, and I was worried. During my mammogram, nothing unusual was detected. An ultrasound revealed that one of my implants had ruptured all the way around and that I had capsular contracture. This was concerning because I have silicone implants. I met with Dr. Bartholomew, who was terrific. It took two visits and coordinating with insurance to finalize a plan. He removed the existing implants and much of the tissue surrounding them. During the same procedure, he placed new implants and essentially reconstructed my chest. Without me asking, he took the liberty of having my tissue tested to confirm there were no cancer cells (so proactive and nice). I can’t say the recovery was easy, but I’m grateful the ruptured implant and scar tissue are gone. The results are already outstanding (2 weeks post-op). Dr. Bartholomew proved to be a patient, meticulous, knowledgeable, and decisive surgeon. He and his staff were superior to work with (so were Providence hospital services)! Thank you so much!

No more back pain and they look wonderful

I'm two weeks post-op and so far I am ecstatic with the results. I went from an H to a C and I feel like I'm 20 years old again! No more back pain and they look wonderful! I can't wait to see the full results oh, but I felt very safe and care for in doctor Bartholomew's care.

Very Pleased with Care and Results

The doctor who placed my implants 15 years ago had retired, so I was very nervous choosing a new doctor to remove them. Dr. Bartholomew is a pleasant and professional individual and very thorough. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions. The surgery went perfectly and I am very pleased with the results. I was impressed with the phone call following-up post-surgery. Updated on 2 Jul 2021: So far, so good! I love the shape of my breasts, and even though I'm still healing and not at 100% of my typical activity level, this is the best I've felt in years! I feel more like "me" and love not having the hard, protruding lumps on my chest. If post op photos are taken next month, I'll post them. I am thrilled with the results! I am 5' 7", and currently weigh 137. Pre-surgery I weighed 143. I had 290cc silicone gel implants for 15 years and will be 50 in a couple months.
