I just want to say thank you for bringing my confidence back! I had a incredible experience with Dr. Nargi and will praise her and her staff for such a professional and personable environment. I had a mommy makeover of tummy tuck, liposuction of flanks, lower back and a breast reduction and i am pleased with the results.
Very professional, attention to detail, perfectionist! DR. Sarah Nargi was not my first encounter with a PS. But she has by far been my favorite. I have had a breast augmentation done by her, filler, botox and I am waiting my consultation for a fat transfer/ bbl and I have full faith in loving every result I get from. It!!
10/10 recommend. In a lot of pain that comes and goes but definitely worth it. I’m 29. 5’6 135lbs went with 550cc. Friendly staff answered all my questions and bedazzled one of my boobs after. I woke up and thought it was blood lol
Finally done. Let’s do this recovery thing. I thought this was gonna be a breeze but no way. Every review I saw on the internet had girls going back to work the following Monday and doing regular activities.... Nah. Not me. Lipo suck. Not literally. I would have to say my back lipo from a 1-10 was a good 8 for a week and a half and then a 7 for the next week. The bruising is unbelievable. Your tail bone hurts. Your boobs hurt when you push the sleep button on your phone. Sleeping sucks. My back was so swollen but I had to sleep on it. My compression garnet they gave me was a large and bunched in every space possible. Didn’t wear it but purchased others from target and Walmart. I begged with the dr. Please I will buy another compression farmer but please please don’t stick me back in that thing. To make a long story short. They got me a new one. If you are a busy mom daughter or in general busy. I would not recommend lipo. The recovery is rough and I mean rough. I wish I had seen a review that said the real damn truth. It hurts. It sucks. The pain is crazy and recovery ain’t no joke. Hopefully this looks amazing come summer and I can definitely say it was worth it. But wold I do it again. No
Sarah was absolutely amazing pre op and post op with my surgery. The girls in the office are also wonderful! I am currently 12 days post op so I am no where near the point of being able to give more specifics on my breast but so far they are exactly where they need to be. I will use Sarah in the future and she was such a wonderful person to get to know. I have read a few negative reviews regarding her practice and skill. I hate to hear others have not had a wonderful experience but in my opinion from day 1 she has been amazing! Everything she has ever told me in regard to my surgery and healing time etc. has lined up exactly with what I've researched online by other top surgeons across the country. If you have doubts please give her a try first! She is very talented and has any eye for cosmetic surgery. I told her the look I was hoping to achieve and she had given me just that. So happy so far with my results and I will update my review as I heal.
5'3 I20lbs. 46 yrs Week 1: Arms are sore, can't lift much, little arm mobility. Can't put arms over your head. Swollen and scars look bad. Week 2: Much better, can wash hair in shower easily now. Sore still, but gonna make it! Week 3: Arms starting to take shape! Swelling down, scar lines straighter. Updated on 3 May 2016: Week 4: I feel great and have full movement. Still a week or two out until I can start running again. Today I put Scar Away silicone sheets on my scars. As I have to wear the compression sleeves two more weeks, it's not a big deal to have them on under the sleeves. I cut them into smaller strips. The scar treatment says it takes 4-6 weeks, so we'll see what we end up with! The compression sleeves were tight the first couple weeks and are now a little loose. That's all from swelling. I'm a bruiser and now the bruising is almost all gone. The area where my scars are feel kind of numb, but that goes away with time. I never experienced any actual pain and the last pain killer I took was at 7am the morning after surgery. They were tender and sore the first week and got better every week, but never painful and I never had to take so much as an aspirin. I've heard you heal faster if you don't take pain meds, so it was always my goal to not take them, so that may have something to do with it. Updated on 3 May 2016: I didn't love the compression sleeves the first week- I had to have help getting them on, they were tight and I wasn't used to having that contraption on me. It did get better by week 2 and by week 3 I actually preferred having them on. Now at week 4, I can easily get them on and off by unhooking it or just pulling it over my head. I barely notice it now and no-one even noticed I ever had it on. It just looks like you have a little sports shirt on under your shirt. When I wear black shirts, it's very discreet. Updated on 10 May 2016: At exactly 5 weeks. There's a little dry skin and some scaling, otherwise they'd look a bit better! I have full movement and the arms feel good. Just a tiny bit tender in some spots. There's a little bit of bunching as I'm swollen a bit. But that will completely go away. One more week in compression sleeves and I'm done!! I did wear Scar Away sheets the whole entire week, pretty much 24/7 Updated on 23 May 2016: There's still a little tightness and my arms still have some numbness along the scars, but am at 100% in terms of activities and back to life! My surgeon said that at 12 weeks all of the swelling should be gone and the arms will be looking really good. Updated on 14 Jul 2016: My surgeon said that at this point I'd pretty much know what my arms are going to look like. The scars will continue to fade and look better and better as the months go by. There is just a little numbness along the scars and they can be just a bit tender at times, but they really don't bother me at all. I'm very happy to have had this done and it's been well worth it for me. I can wear summer dresses and tanks without being self conscious and trying to hide my jiggling arms. My jackets and shirts fit perfectly now. I'm going to start working with weights and it will be exciting to see results instead of the results being hidden by hanging skin! Updated on 14 Jul 2016: Taken on July 4th
Finally got myself out of a horribly abusive marriage where I was constantly told my body not being to standard was why he cheated. Still trying to boost my self confidence, I finally decided to get breast augmentation. I chose silicone natrel implants under 300 cc. They looked the closest to what I had before my child. After breastfeeding I had slight asymmetry and my right breast was a bit fuller than the left. I expected this to carry over to my post op results as well, as my surgeon informed me it most likely would. What I did not expect was my right breast being lower set than the left. At two weeks post op they were both even and perfect! Everyone was jealous. I wanted to show them off! At around 2 1/2 weeks, the right side dropped considerably and the nipple points down and out. When looking at them and feeling them separately the right is actually more natural looking/ feeling and I like it better than the left. Except that this week at week 7, I've discovered there is some " rippling" under my right breast. Odd? Will ask about it at my appt next week and update. I'm hoping this will heal over time and that hopefully the left drops as well to even up with the right. Wondering if I did too much too soon? While they look perfect in a bra, I am extremely critical of myself and the crookedness of them bare is a little humiliating. I'll scrounge up my before pics to compare but for now here are my 7 week post op photos. Will update with new photos next week. Really hoping this is a normal occurrence that fixes itself over time.
Do not go for reductions or if you are non-binary! Did not get the care I asked or paid for...Below is the formal complaint I sent to the Montana Board of Medical Examiners on May 5th, 2022 against her license after trying to handle my complaint directly with Dr. Nargi and her staff. To whom it may concern, I had a consultation with Dr. Nargi in January of 2020 for a breast reduction to manage my condition of macromastia. My breasts significantly decreasing in my quality of life by; causing tension headaches at a frequency of four to six times a week, jaw and lower back pain, severe body dysmorphia, and anxiety. Although I am unsure of my original cup size (as I couldn't wear bras) I believe I was around an F or G cup (see attached photos). I mentioned to her that I had considered FTM top surgery and am non-binary but I wasn't sure about total loss of sensation. She said that we could do top surgery but also a very large reduction. Dr. Nargi, when asked if she could get me to a B-cup, assured me that my surgery goal was realistic and could be completed. On February 11th, 2020, I had a breast reduction for which I paid $5,733.00 (see included receipt) and with the knowledge that Whitefish Plastic Surgery doesn’t do prior authorizations and I would have to request insurance coverage later. I woke up from that surgery as an E (see attached post op photos). I immediately made my dissatisfaction known to the provider, Dr. Nargi assured me that the swelling would take weeks to go down. In my two week and four week the same was repeated. After the four week post op, she scheduled a six month and told me that sometimes it can take that long time for the swelling to go down. At my six month, I was the same size. When I confronted Dr. Nargi about the discrepancy, she admitted that she had told me that I would get to a B and that my goal was surgically feasible. When I asked why it didn’t happen, she replied, “I don’t know.” Dr. Nargi offered another surgery for only the cost of the surgical bra. I clarified with her again that my original goal was realistic, she confirmed. On August 20th, 2020, I had another breast reduction performed by Dr. Nargi (also in her clinic under local anesthesia) and reminded her one last time while she was marking me that I’d like to be so small “a sports bra could make me flat chested”. When she walked out, my mother, Pamela Roth, asked if I wanted a mirror to see where she marked and warned me that she did not think it was enough tissue. I declined, believing that there would be no way Dr. Nargi would do it again. And I woke up from that surgery at a DD. I also had a post op infection and had to have the stitches pulled out as they did not dissolve and grew out of my breast tissue for six weeks after the procedure. At this point, I went to my last post op and didn’t say anything else as I was not willing to have a third surgery under her. My insurance also declined to cover the surgery, citing that lack of tissue taken making it a purely cosmetic procedure. In the two years since, I have had to continue to pay for Chiropractic care and massage therapy out of pocket (please see attached documentation). I have had episodes of disordered eating in order to make my breasts smaller as well as over-exercising and starvation. I have also had emergency room visits for migraines and pinched nerves in my neck. The most recent of which resulted in my primary care Doctor, Ivory Drendel, making a physical therapy referral and I have been going two times a week. Recently, with the help of my therapist, I have set another appointment at Lift Plastic Surgery in Missoula. I sent a letter to Dr. Nargi explaining my disappointment and asking for a refund to put towards the cost of my upcoming surgery. Dr. Nargi and her staff maintain that my surgical goal was reached and no wrongdoing was committed. Included in this packet are those emails as well. Dr. Nargi, for some reason, decided that I would look better with larger breasts regardless of my gender identity, diagnoses, pain, and personal request for my surgical goal.
After having botox many, many times, Dr Nargi did it, as the regular injector no longer works there. Total disaster. Who knew it could be so bad? I have never had a problem with the PA or Nurse Practitioner who injected me over the years. I did not take any medications or anything to cause this. To top it off, one eye is numb on the outer third, and a bit droopy. The bruises are HUGE and will take weeks to resolve...assuming they do resolve!
So quick background. I’m 38, 120 pounds, 4’9, 5 kids married 18 years and have always known when I was done having kids, I would focus on myself for a little bit. 12 years ago I had my first breast augmentation. I was a 34 A cup and went to a 375 cc saline smooth high profile implant that placed me at a full C. Well this time and I could not be more excited. Fast forward to yesterday 1-15-19. My oldest sweet 16 birthday. I made an appointment with Dr. Nargi in Whitefish Mt, for a breast implant exchange and lipo of the abdominal area and my flanks or possible tummy tuck. I went into the appointment with goals and things I wanted to talk to her about on my mind. She would be my second opinion so I knew I had questions. I had comments, and I needed to know she could connect with me. I get to the office 30 mins early from a 2 hour drive with a 2 year old and a husband, so I think we were all on our nerves a little bit with the little one and the anticipation of meeting the Dr. The assistant walked us back to a room and I slipped into a robe for pictures. Pictures were taken and we waited for the Dr. As soon as she walked in our nerves were calmed as she was the most down to earth surgeon I have ever met. She came in with leather pants, knee high boots (similar to the ones I had on) and knew this Dr and I would click. We started taking, she felt and looked and talked. We spoke our opinions, questions were answered and an hour later I was getting dressed and waiting for her to come back in with some books and examples. A few mins later in she comes, arms full of books and patient examples and goes right to girls who have an implant similar to what I am asking for. The dr seems like what I am asking for is reasonable and says no problem. I show her more wish pics, she shows me examples of girls who look like the wish pic. Magical. 45 more mins later we shook hands and i was booking a surgery date. January 23rd. Not only did I pay for my surgery but I was able to book next available and by next week I should be looking at bigger boobies and a smaller mid section. After 5 kids, my dream is finally coming true Updated on 18 Jan 2019: So as I type this a child is running around the house like an airplane, the 1st grade is on her I pad because it is not a school night and the other three are teenagers hanging out in their rooms. For the most part all is quite in the house. I’m taking advantage of this and doing laundry, freezing meals and trying to prepare for my hubby as best I can. Although he says don’t worry about it! We can handle this momma! He would prefer I do nothing and just focus on packing my bag. This quiet will not last long though. Tomorrow is another day. I’m not sure if I’m trying to make things go smoother for him as I am recovering or as I’m being selfish and want him to do as little as possible with the house and kids and focus his energy on me and my ouchies. (Thats a great thought). It seems as though no matter how much I prepare it will never be enough. 5 kids. That’s all I should have to say. Ages you ask. 16,15,11,6,2. So we are constantly moving and grooving. My eldest just turned 16 and has no interest to drive. We live in Montana and right now there is a few inches of ice on the road mixed with several inches of snow. Not ideal driving conditions for a newer driver. So depending on her is a negative. She also is 16.... With a boyfriend.... So she never wants to go anywhere or do anything unless he is invited or can come. Which drives me insane because I was NEVER like that. My 15 year old boy is into Fortnite and video games but is grounded because of his grades so he is a disgruntled teenager because he has no electronics. And I can not rely on any of the others for too much just because they are younger. So planning is my thing. That’s what I do. I’m doing laundry, cooking and frankly just trying to make these next four days go by faster. I work full time at a small farm store in my town and sell seed. I took the day before surgery off of work so I could make sure everything was prepared for when I come home. I will go in Monday and that is it for the week. I made a reservation at a local hotel so I won’t have to make the 2 hour journey home and then return the next day for the post op visit. Did I mention I am so not looking forward to that drive home and may just take a pain med right before the drive to crash out. The weather here is so crappy and cold and the forecast for the next few days is Snow. Lots of snow. And if we are getting lots of snow here. That means Whitefish Montana which is closer to the Canada border is getting even more snow. So stay tuned folks. We are in for an adventure of a lifetime. Procedure- breast implant exchange and lipo of the abdomen and flanks
