I am in my late 60s and have struggled with my weight since I was a child. I would periodically employ extreme control over my diet and exercise, and could reach my goal, but I couldn’t sustain it. Part of the reason was that I really didn’t look any better without clothes - more like a deflated balloon. It was always as if I was “not there yet,” no matter how little I weighed. I had hanging skin. As I grew older, I had more trouble with the lower belly apron, and had to take

My breasts grew quite a bit after I hit menopause. Before children, I was a perky 34B. They grew a bit in the years leading up to menopaise, but never larger than a C cup. By the time I finally started my research, I had grown to a saggy 34F cup. I hated the look and feel. They made me appear frumpy and overweight, which I am not. At 5'6" and 136 lbs., I have a slender build, and Dr. Topal took time to determine what size I could wear comfortably. I spent two years doing the

My sixtieth birthday is coming up, and I finally visited a plastic surgeon and have a date for my breast reduction surgery. I wish I had done this 20 years ago (at least I think I do). I'm optimistic that I will have a speedy recovery. I can't wait to go braless on a humid summer day, wear a Speedo, and throw away my all XL shirts.

I am a 24 year old female. I am almost 5 feet and 160 pounds with a 40H bra size. I've been contemplating getting a breast reduction for a while now because of back pain and other common symptoms of being large chested. I got a referral from my doctor to a plastic surgeon, and I went to my appointment today. I got there 15 minutes early and filled out a bunch of paperwork. This included a sheet where I had to rate the severity of symptoms related to having large breasts.

I have had one of the worst customer service experiences with the office of Dr. Simone Topal. I had a procedure done on October 2016. I cannot tell you how much thought and sober decision making went into deciding upon the reduction procedure and this physician.Things went okay.... I had some issues at follow up for which I was told I just needed to wait and see. A year later the issues were way worse - disfiguring and painful. Getting scheduled for a follow up visit has

I Recommend Everybody to research about the Dr before the first appointment and if is possible get a second opinion. This is my new profile due I have a new Dr, I wasn't comfortable with the other Dr and after research a lot I found the best, I had an appointment yesterday with Dr Topal and was worth it drive an hour to see her, I was approved for the insurance with the other Dr but now I have to wait they approve this one. I am really happy with this New Doctor she is GREAT. Updated
