Steven K. Struck, MD

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Struck as my plastic surgeon for a mommy makeover. As a physician, I was very particular in my search. From the outset, he was attentive and straightforward, taking the time to understand my expectations while gently managing any unrealistic ones. I expressed a strong desire for a natural look, particularly concerning breast implants, and he expertly guided me through the various techniques and options available, ensuring I fully understood the process and potential outcomes. He also was able to tell me why other products weren't being used in his office and why some places still offered them. Throughout my journey, I felt genuinely heard and supported by both the surgeon and his friendly staff. Their dedication to helping me achieve my goals was evident, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I enthusiastically recommend him to friends and colleagues seeking similar procedures.
Granted, I do think I got bonus points for bringing him savingnoin blanc ;)

WOW. Dr. Struck has beyond changed my life. Physically & Mentally! I got a Tummy Tuck, Breast lift with implants, a back bra lift(not the correct name of the procedure for my case but similar IMO) & Lipo on 12/8/23 All at once(About a 6 hour procedure). The second I came out of my procedure I knew this man had just completely changed my life. I would like to note I also got a BBL 12/5/2021 which had also put my confidence through the roof but this last surgery has really made me that girl! Dr. Stuck is kind, realistic, and knows what he is talking about & doing. As someone who was extremely overweight as a kid, I have so much extra skin & fat all over my body and was sick of carrying it around with me as a reminder of how shitty I was treated for being a fat kid. I knew I needed to do something for myself. I pointed out what I wanted tightened & gone & we came up with a plan and he executed it, KILLED IT. Dr. Struck also has extremely kind & knowledgable RN's & girls working for him. I have never once felt rushed, unheard or had any negative experience with Dr. Struck. Everyones body is different & heals differently. I personally feel like my BBL which was only about an hour and a half surgery hurt the most when healing. I also think it hurt so much because you cant sit on your butt for 6-8 weeks and my back was killing me. Worth the pain. As for my tummy tuck, when I tell you that this was literally a painless procedure, I am not exaggerating. My tummy tuck incision never once hurt or bothered me. I just walked around a little slow & hunched over for the first few weeks which shocks me because its about a 180 cut around my body. What was really painful for me out of this procedure was my upper body. I dont think it was the implants & lift that was hurting, More the bra lift because I had such massive fat hanging that needed to be aggressively lipo-ed & then cut but once again, wow totally worth the pain for 2 weeks. I also had like 10 photos of what I wanted & a few of what I did not want to look like & showed Dr. Stuck minutes before going into surgery. My body has changed over the last 3 months as im healing and I thought I looked so good 3 months ago, but as everyday goes on im looking better & better! I am no longer in any discomfort & pain and pretty much back to normal. I had check ups the day after surgery, and then a few days after and then a few more every couple of weeks. He really wants to make sure you're healing properly & to answer any questions you have as you are healing. Again, I really really recommend going to Dr. Stuck if youre in the Bay Area. Luckily he is only a 25 minute drive from my house but I highly recommend even out of towners to get your work done by Dr. Struck. & if you are wondering why I am hyping Dr. Struck up so much..... These photos will just speak for themself. Ive always been obviously like I mentioned overweight that went to "curvy" once I lost some weight but I would like to say my entire hourglass banging body was fully built by Dr. Struck and I could not be more happier!!!!!! Thank you Dr. Struck for changing my life & I can not wait for my next procedure (Thigh lift & Arm Lift)

Cost: I did a lot of research & fishin before finally deciding on Dr. Struck. I would say Dr. Struck was the most "cost effective" than all the other people I had consultations with. Two words that should never be in the same sentence are plastic surgery & "cheap" But really Dr. Struck will have you ballin on a budget so to say. I highly recommend going for a consultation for your quote & then going else where and comparing them. There is no comparison with the prices of Dr. Struck. Also, besides the right price, I feel like I really clicked with Dr. Struck as a doctor and it just felt right going with him and I was totally right!

Dr. Struck is a master surgeon. I have had a multiple face and body procedures with Dr. Struck; such as breast augmentation (480cc to 800cc) very speedy recovery, zero scar. Lipo/BBL revision (second round) my body is shaped very naturally thin and he enhanced my hips and accentuated my waist. I'm followed by women daily asking who "my" surgeon is and I feel very thankful to be a patient of Dr. Struck, he is a true artist and has absolutely changed my body, my skin and my life. Thank you Dr Struck, Trish, Lupe, Carlos, Bianca and team!

He is an amazing Dr.! I will forever recommend Dr.Struck as my #1 Dr. in Los Gatos and will continue my future surgeries with him. I had a breast lift, implants and lipo done and was in the best of hands. Thank you Dr.Struck and Staff.????

After the birth of my daughter in 2010 (starting at 40 years old), I’ve had a series of mommy makeovers spread over the number of years. In 2010, I had lipo. In 2011, my breast implants are done. And 2015, I got my butt implants done.
Of course, you think it’s gonna last for a long time. LOL But once 2019 hit, I gained 20 pounds from both parents passing and perimenopause. Once I lost 15 (of the 20 gained), I started noticing fat and loose skin I just couldn’t get rid of. So, I talked to my plastic surgeon (who did my boobs) about a mini tummy tuck. Originally. I was scheduled to do it in December 2020 but I postponed it until Feb 2021 due to the Covid surge and I also wanted to make sure I was near a sustainable goal weight.Day of surgery I had to be at the surgery center at 4:00 am! But I also wanted the first surgery on the books. The anesthesiologist called the day before and I told him I was a little nervous. Because now that I’m older, I was on edge about being “under.” But as he asked me questions, I felt more comfortable.Once I saw my plastic surgeon (marking me up), I felt more at ease. Especially since he did my boobs. And also, his wife is the one who does the Botox at their office. So, I frequently see him. I was rolled in the OR room at around 5:30 am. And when I woke up, I was in the recovery room at 7:30 am. The only side effect of the anesthesia is that I woke up shaking and then the nurse sat with me and gave me Valium. My husband had me hike by 8:30 am.Being home on Day 1 was pretty easy since I was still on the meds. Even though I had my husband and good friend helping me, I was able to walk around easily, prepare my food and feed myself. I’ve had lipo and I had a c-section, so it feels like this all over again. All my friends who have had a real tummy tuck says that recovery is so much harder. Day 2 (Thursday 2/11/21) was harder because all the meds had worn off and I was a little ran down. But I was able to take the after pics.Day 3 (Friday 2/12/21) - no bowel movement yet. So I’m not taking any more Vicodin. I don’t like the come down the next day and I hear it affects constipation.

Yesterday, I went to see my plastic surgeon for my post op and to get the drain out. I took these pictures at his office.
Is my stomach super wash board flat? No. And my doctor told me if one wanted that look, I would have to do a full tummy tuck. But I didn’t want a full tummy tuck to achieve that. I’m totally happy on what a mini TT and lipo gave me. I only had one child and I didn’t need muscle repair. But if I had two or more children, I would have definitely done a full TT.
I’m looking forward what the results will look like once swelling goes down. I think the only downside to any plastic surgery is that recovery is “boring” especially for type A personality like me. I would love to exercise right now but can’t. Just little things you take for granted.... Having to sleep on a recliner, walking around with a hunched back all the time, taking your compression garment off/on everytime you have a bowel movement. I tell everyone who wants to do plastic surgery that beauty suffering. LOL But honestly, the end results are totally worth it. I’m happy to have a flat stomach again at 50 years old.
I will say that I think recovery is always better when you’re in fairly good shape before your surgery. After every procedure I’ve done, recovery has been fairly easy. Also, stool softener and high fiber diet is the best for going to the bathroom. You do not want to strain with a bowel movement.
Also, in your consultations, make sure to bring your surgeon wish pics of what you want and pics you don’t want it looking like. As part of a mini or full TT, your vagina will be pulled up a little. I brought a picture of a TT of a vagina that was pulled up way too much and I told my doctor I did NOT want that. Make a list of all questions you want to ask. My doctor was the best is giving me what I wanted and answered all my questions. Also, I really trusted my doctor’s anesthesiologist too. Conversation with him the day before the surgery is key in putting your mind at ease.

I think the downtime in plastic surgery is psychologically harder (for me) now that I’m 50. Like when I got my butt down in 2015, there was more down time but I don’t remember being as restless as now.

I’ve known at least 5 women who have gotten tummy tucks and all of them got a full one. I’m the only person I know who has gotten a mini and I can tell you this is so much easier than a full in every way. I even remember the second day post op, I was already walking up our stairs to the second floor. Yesterday, I drove to Whole Foods by myself. And today I drove to Whole Foods, Target, and Costco. I also was able to have my massage lady come to the house and give me a (much needed) face up massage for an hour.

The electric lazy boy lift up chair (that my good friend left me borrow) was so helpful the first week. But the last two days, I’m finally sleeping propped up on my bed. The binders and body suits that you get are not there good. So I ordered some good ones off Amazon. I alternate between two kinds - I will post the pics.

But the past week, I have been “boredom” eating. I started surgery at around 131 and I was horrified when I stepped on the scale yesterday and I was up to 134. All the salty snack foods (like chips) were catching up to me. And I can feel it was making my stomach very bloated. I did an all day cleanse yesterday and back down to 132. I’m juicing today as well.

My goals is to get back to 125/126, because even though I have a pretty flat stomach, I want my overall frame back to being smaller. Overall, I am very happy with results. I will even post the lipo pics of the FUPA area that my surgeon was able to do. LOL

Updated on 9 Apr 2021:
Can’t believe that it’s been 8 weeks since the surgery. Lost 5 pounds since and hovering around 125/126 pounds without dieting or exercise. When I look at pics, I’m almost wishing I got a full tummy tuck instead of a mini because it’s not completely flat in the middle and you can see the loose skin above the belly button. But I’ll live.
I would love to get down to my ideal weight of 120 by summer and see what it will look like then.
But I have to be honest - I never do squats or lounges now that I have butt implants. And with a flat stomach from this surgery, I’m getting kind of lazy with exercising which I never been before. I’m usually pretty religious about working out. I have to promise myself to get back into cardio and toning. But I can’t help that this is what life for people that are genetically blessed (with a good body) must feel like on a daily basis. They just kind of take it for granted and it’s effortless for them. Unlike that those of us, have to pay $ to experience that. LOL

This is my ninja! Beautiful results, best money spent! He exceeded my expectations and then some. My boobs looked like cousins, now they look like identical twins. Lol
Sad B to a perfect D
Thanks Dr.struck
see you soon

I am beyond words of how happy I am with Dr Struck’s expertise on facial rejuvenation. The surgery went well , his staff are informative and professional. The Campbell surgery center is state of art and impeccable. I am a 67 year old that experienced a smooth surgery and recovery . I was off pain meds by the 4th day ! My confidence level has hit the roof but that's not why I did the surgery , it was about feeling great about who I am at 67 and Dr. Struck could see that !

So I’ve always been flat chested and I always thought I would get a BA someday. When I was younger my boobs were small but cute and I never wore a bra but after breastfeeding 2 babies and gaining and losing weight with pregnancy I basically have nothing left, just empty skin and nipples. Less than an A cup.I started seriously researching doctors and I’ve been to 3 consults so far. I have one more scheduled then I am ready to book surgery for December when I can take some time off work. I’m excited and nervous. I’ve never had surgery or been under general anesthesia before.I’m worried about the recovery with my 2 little kids (ages 3 and 5) and a less than supportive husband. I’m 5’4 and weigh about 120 lbs. I’m thinking 275-300 cc’s. We shall see!

Updated on 13 Sep 2020:
Here is my before. I have been going back and forth about sizing so much. I was thinking 275 to 300 but now I am having boob greed and wondering if I should be going bigger like 325-350. I’m planning smooth round implants, under the muscle, probably moderate profile. My BWD was 10 or 11. Pretty narrow and I don’t know how far my skin could stretch. We shall see! I have one more consult in 2 weeks then I will be ready to book my surgery date!

Updated on 21 Sep 2020:
Been on this site a ton looking at reviews. Can’t wait for my surgery! December will be here before I know it and I’ve narrowed it down to 2 surgeons but have to make a final decision. I know both are competent but I’m leaning towards the cheaper one who does free revisions if there is any issue. Next week I have another consultation. It will be 4 PS total that I have met. The first one was amazing but super expensive, the second one we did a virtual consult and she kept me waiting forever and then her screen was totally black, I know it we just a technological issue but it was a total turn off. The third one ended up being the ex husband of a doctor I work with! But he seemed great and had the most competitive price. Only issue is he is 45 min away which will be annoying for f/u visits. The 4th one is next week and local and depending on pricing could be the one for me! But I would also be happy going with number 3. Literally half the price of all the bells and whistles of the fancy office for number 1! But I’m happy I’ve met all of them and learn a lot with each doctor.
Originally I was going to go 275 but the more I research the more I am thinking 350 or maybe even 400(??!). I’ve always been really small on top and curvier on bottom. Post breast feeding 2 kids and losing weight my upper body is positively skeletal. I have almost no native breast tissue. I worry about my skin’s ability to stretch. I just want it to look like I have boobs with and without clothes. But I also want to still fit into my x-small scrub tops.
I worry about the recovery with 2 small kids that are really demanding. I also work in a hospital and use my upper body a ton. Planning on 2 full weeks off of work then 2 more weeks working less.
I know I’ve already waited almost 40 years and 2 more months is nothing but I’m impatient for it to be here already!
I’m also worried about exercising after. I’m athletic and love to run and need daily exercise to stay sane. I think taking so many weeks off will be hard for me.
For reference I am 5’4” and 120 lbs. I’ve always been an A and now probably an AA but I’ve never really worn bras because I could never fill them out.

Updated on 3 Oct 2020:
I went to my last consult yesterday! Surgeon was great and he was close to my house but I decided to go with the cheaper option anyway. I will drive 45 minutes to save almost $3K!
So I set my surgery date for December 4th! I’m SUPER excited! The only bummer was the patient coordinator of the PS I chose was pretty unfriendly on the phone. I didn’t get to meet her at my appointment but I made the surgery date and the pre-op on the same phone call but then changed my mind and changed my pre-op date (it was on my 40th birthday! In my excitement I just didn’t think it through) and she was super grumpy about changing it and seemed annoyed. We didn’t get off on a great foot. BUT, it’s the PS I’m going there to see and he seems great and does a ton of these and I feel I am in good hands. Now to obsess about sizing until then! So worried about going too small or too big (for my tiny frame). My BW is 10! So high profile for sure. I’m thinking 350 right now. Funny because I was thinking 275 at first. My cousin tried to tell me to get 400. She had hers done 2 years ago and loves them but she is 5’9 and I’m 5’4. We shall see. I am hoping for a full C cup. I’m less than an A now.

You guys, (well it's mostly girls on here but you know what I mean) I'm starting to get cold feet! I've wanted this for so long but now that I'm finally getting close I feel super scared!
I'm nervous about getting elective surgery, about going under general anesthesia (I've never been put under!) about the recovery period and how long that will take and finally what if I hate them after?
I just feel unsure. Plus I work in a busy hospital and we've been super understaffed and crazy busy lately. My leave (which I got approved a year ago because we do our vacations a year in advance) is now coinciding with another coworker's due date and a different coworker retiring. I couldn't have known that when I put my plans in motion but I still feel guilty now. Ugh!
Yet another one of my coworkers just got her boobs done 2 weeks ago and she was supposed to come back to work tomorrow (Monday) and she's taking another week off because she's not ready. What if that happens to me?
Just nervous. I still really want to do it but I just wish I knew it was all going to turn out good. Also I have little kids and I know my husband is going to be super annoyed I won't be able to do much for them for a few weeks. I'm not supposed to pick them up for 6 weeks. That is going to be super challenging.
Anyone have these fears before? Or have little kids and recover quickly?

Updated on 13 Nov 2020:
I had my pre-op today! And I’m feeling much better. I paid for my surgery and got all my prescriptions (still need to fill them). I got all my questions answered.
I showed the PS my wish pics and he thought 415 high profile. That seemed big to me so we settled on 385. He said he would try different sizers in the operating room and I was open to that. I just can’t imagine myself with boobs! Countdown is 3 weeks from today.
I have to check in at 4am! We are dropping my kids off at my parents house the night before and they will keep the girls over the weekend. So I will have 3 days no kids to recover at first and then our nanny and my husband taking care to the girls for the rest of the week but I’m sure they will be all over me because they always are!!
I’m now afraid there will be a covid resurgence and my surgery date will get canceled. Just need to make it through then next 3 weeks!!!
Still a little worried about going too big but feeling pretty good about the size right now.

Updated on 28 Nov 2020:
By this time next week I’ll be recovering! So super nervous and excited.
I’m still very nervous about going too big for my small frame even though I hear everyone talk about boob greed after the drop and fluff.
Right now we are planning on 385 cc high profile but he will also bring the 415 cc to see what fits better. My BWD was tiny, like less than 11cm but he didn’t seem very concerned. Just trying to trust my PS. He’s been doing this for years and does them all the time. I’m trying not to overthink it.
I’m just super athletic and active and don’t want huge boobs. It’s going to be really hard taking it easy for recovery and not being able to run for a while.
Even though I’ve wanted this forever I still feel really unsure. I think it’s just nerves.
My surgery is on Friday morning. I have to check in at 4am and it’s a 50 min drive so I think we will get a hotel room close so my husband doesn’t have to wake up at 3am and then sit in the cold car for a few hours. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep that night!
I ordered some pj’s, filled my prescriptions, I’m getting a wedge pillow... Any other tips? Sooo nervous!!!

Updated on 4 Dec 2020:
I made it!!! Stayed in a hotel room last night right next to the surgery center. Was running around like crazy yesterday trying to get everything done before 8pm (when I had to stop eating and drinking and go to the hotel to check in.
I dropped off my little girls in the afternoon after distance learning at my parents house. Covid has been so crazy I felt worried bringing them into their house and potentially bringing germs (although I've had negative texts the last 4 or 5 weeks).
Then I went the grocery store and stocked up on food and came home and prepped it all and cut stuff up and put in my fridge, cleaned the kitchen, changed my sheets, made dinner and made sure I drank a bunch of water before 8pm.
The surgery center is an hour away and I had to to be there so very early so a hotel just made sense. I took a bath and washed my hair and shaved my legs before I went to bed (won't be doing that for a while!)
I got up at 3:20 and walked over to the surgery center (literally next door) to be there at 4. I was super nervous but they were nice. The anesthesiologist came and started an IV, they got me into the operating room and she gave me something to "relax" me. Literally 1 min later (it felt like) I was in the recovery room room with my pajamas on again. I asked her if they already did the surgery and what size I ended up with. 385 high profile!
I was super nauseous and in a lot of pain. I called my husband and he picked me up at 6:30am (so early!!) and we headed home. I barfed twice in the car (they gave me a little bucket luckily) and once after I got home. My husband forced me to eat something so I could take more meds.
He's been so sweet taking care of me and bringing me things on a tray. I'm having a hard time getting comfortable in bed (my back hurts all propped up). So far so good! Tomorrow is my first post op appointment and I'll get to take the ace bandage off. It's super tight!!
Can't wait to see! Lots of pressure and chest feels right but otherwise okay. Already want to stop taking narcotics because they make me so nauseous but I'll at least take them through the first day.
Will update when I get a look at them!

Updated on 5 Dec 2020:
It was a little hard to sleep propped up on my back yesterday because I’m usually a side sleeper. I stayed on top of meds and haven’t been in too much pain (knock on wood). I barfed 3 times yesterday, twice coming home from surgery and once more after I got home but I’m okay now. Overall I feel good and the ladies at the office both said they couldn’t believe I had surgery yesterday, ha!
They took me out of the compression ace bandage and put on a surgical bra. I made my next post op for 10 day from now.
My boobs look weird, super high and boxy but they will settle I’m sure. The dr said my muscles were REALLY tight which I’m not surprised by.
He said no exercising until next post op at least (and that means going for walks too, darn). But I have my whole life to exercise and only this one chance to heal right so I will take it easy. Overall really happy but I need to be patient to see the final outcome...
Also I fell this morning on my stairs in socks and I caught myself on my elbow!! I was so worried I tore the stitches or hurt my boob somehow but the dr said it looked fine.
All in all I’m doing better than I expected! Who knows if it gets worse after this though!

Updated on 6 Dec 2020:
I’m not sure about my boobs today! They feel too big, not part of me. I was worried they would make me look top heavy and fat. I guess I’m just used to having nothing on top and these feel so weird on my body.
I also got terrible diarrhea and stomach cramps from the antibiotics. I have to take them 4 times a day for 5 days.
My husband was really sweet and taking care of me for the first few days but he seems over it now and my little girls (ages 3 and 5) come home from my parents house today. I just need to try to take it mellow and heal. Hopefully I will get used to these boobs and start to love them! It just feels like a lot right now. Still the pain is less than I thought it would be. I took the narcotics 3x on the first day and once yesterday and hopefully not at all today. Just gonna stick to extra strength Tylenol and Advil. I’m happy to be off work resting but I’m not sure what to do with myself.

Updated on 6 Dec 2020:
My kids came home today (ages 3 and 5) and it’s really hard not to overdue it when they need SO much. My husband is also getting over being a nurse for me. So I guess I was doing too much and my incisions started bleeding through my surgical bra! This is my body telling me to take it easy and rest and heal.
I hope I didn’t mess them up! My next post op checkup is in just over a week. I hope I can drive myself by then.
Healing is hard! Time is passing by slowly.
I did take a shower today and it felt really weird to have my boobs unsupported for that small amount of time. I think I’ll wait a few day to try again.
I know if this was someone else I would think a few drops of blood is no big deal but it’s hard not to freak myself out. Ugh.

Updated on 8 Dec 2020:
Doing pretty good! Have very little pain, just discomfort. I took a shower today and washed my hair! It felt very strange to be out of my surgical bra and my boobs felt terrible unsupported. I felt like I had to hold them up with my hands.
I put the surgical bra back on right after I got out and it feels better. I finally weighed myself today and I was only a pound or two more than I was pre-surgery. I was scared of weight gain cuz I’m just laying on my butt all day trying to take it easy and heal.
So far so good although my boobs feel very heavy. Hopefully I will get used to them!

Updated on 10 Dec 2020:
Doing good! Haven’t taken pain meds (even OTC) in days. Took a shower today and boobs didn’t feel as weird without the surgical bra. Having a hard time taking it easy and still worried about tearing my stitches. Went for a short walk yesterday, doing more around the house.
Boobs seem ENORMOUS to me after having nothing before. Hopefully I will get used to them. I keep telling myself it’s early in the recovery. I just feel like maybe I should have gone smaller. Nipples starting to get some sensation back. I have to say the most uncomfortable part is sleeping propped up on my back. I’m a side sleeper usually and I can’t wait to get back to that. Next post op is in 5 days. I hope I can drive myself by then.

Updated on 13 Dec 2020:
Swelling has gone down a bit and I’m more used to them, I am loving my boobs these days! Still doing great and not needing pain meds. I drove today for the first time. I had sex at the one week mark even though I was supposed to wait, oops! Still haven’t exercised. I’m waiting for the all clear from my second post op. Boobs are still pretty numb but they feel better every day.

Updated on 25 Dec 2020:
I had my second post op a week ago at 2 weeks ( was supposed to be at 10 days but my childcare fell through). He took off the steri strips and cut the remaining stitches (they were dissolving but hadn’t dissolved yet I guess). Still doing great and dare I say it, now I wish I had gone BIGGER? I know I’m crazy. But once the swelling goes down and you put on normal clothes and your boobs just kind of disappear in clothes it feels like kind of a bummer! Granted it’s winter and I haven’t tried on any bathing suits or dresses but they feel very modest and I’m sure some people won’t even notice I had them done which is the point I guess! Ha! So in all in all even though I felt like the PS urged me to go bigger than I thought (I was originally thinking 275 and ended up with 385 smooth round high profile) I’m totally happy I didn’t go any smaller! If anything I wish I could have gone bigger so they could be a little closer together, they still feel really far apart. He had brought 385 and 415 CC and said he was going to see what fit better but then after surgery he told me he could barely get the 385 in so it was probably the biggest my body could handle... I heard about boob greed and now I finally understand ????????????
I’ve had very little pain luckily. Just one day of pain in my lateral lower right boob around day 10. Felt like shooting pain, not terrible but I had been doing a ton (went to target to get xmas stuff for my kids and kept having to ask employees to get stuff off high shelves for me because I couldn’t reach!). I was just worried I had overdid it or hurt my implant or impeded my healing somehow but if it’s all just a normal part of it it’s totally fine. I’m starting to get feeling back in my nipples but it’s mostly just discomfort.
All in all super smooth sailing and I’m really happy I did this and really happy with my results!

Updated on 9 Jan 2021:
5 weeks as of yesterday. I still have some numbness but overall used to my boobs now. Funny how they felt SO big at first! I can sleep on my side no problem now.
Went to see the PS for my 3rd post op. Everything healing well. I was worried about my incisions because they have been so red and angry but he thought they looked great and would be almost invisible when fully healed. I told him I wished I had gone bigger and he said I probably could have gone up to 500 cc but it might have overwhelmed my figure (made me look top heavy because I’m so short/small). Overall I feel very happy with my boobs and think I just need to buy a push up bra if I want some cleavage.
He cleared me for exercise and to wear any type of bra. He said I couldn’t hurt my implant, that it’s in the right spot and everything is good.
I still get random pains but overall this entire process was so much less painful than I anticipated. It really went smoothly.
Can’t wait until things calm down with covid and I can go bra shopping! Has anyone tried 3rd love for online bras?

Friday was 6 weeks. Feeling great! Started running again this weekend. 3 miles yesterday, 6 miles today! Just wore a really tight sports bra and it was fine. I haven’t really exercised since my surgery and been eating poorly, I’m up almost 10 lbs! I’m sure it will come off when I get back into my routine.
I even went on a trampoline! And I was fine.
Boobs absolutely feel part of me and I love them. Nipples still don’t feel great to be touched. And my scars are pretty red. I got some scar tape from Amazon and hopefully that will help!
Honestly sometimes I forget what my boobs looked like before. These feel like mine!

It’s been a little over 3 months and it’s crazy to say but sometimes I forget I had surgery. Boobs feels completely normal and like I’ve always had them.
No issues with exercise or lifting or anything. My scars are still a little red but that should fade in time.
Overall super pleased with my results!
I still have a little boob greed and wish I had gone 450-500cc but not enough that I will get another surgery. And probably if they were bigger I might wish them different too. I can still fit into my small and xsmall clothes and small sports bras. Never got fitted for a bra but I ordered a 32C online and it seems a little small.
I loved my plastic surgeon and this whole experience has been great! Recovery was SO MUCH EASIER than I anticipated! The biggest issue was me being worried about messing them up somehow or splitting my stitches.
Can’t wait to wear some bikinis this summer!
Also I had a freak out about a month ago that my boobs were bottoming out but then I calmed down and realized they were fine ????

I love my boobs! They feel great and look great and no issues with anything (pull ups feel a little weird but otherwise completely back to exercising).
Only thing I’m still dealing with is my scars are still pretty red and my nipples still are basically numb except for pain sensors. And my boobs are still pretty firm.
Really really happy with my results and only wish I had done this sooner! Happy with the size I chose and the recovery was a breeze!

I've had a bump on my nose since I was 10 and have wanted it gone for as long as I can remember! I went back and forth about surgery for years. I'd never gone under anesthesia and thought I might regret it. When I started seeing Dr. Struck for botox a couple of years ago, we slowly started having conversations about rhinoplasty, and once COVID hit I decided to pull the trigger on the procedure! SO glad I did! It's only been 5.5 weeks, and it's still shrinking every day, but I already love the result.

I would trust Dr. Struck with any procedure moving forward! He is a no nonsense doctor who knows what he's doing. I asked him a thousand questions and was probably his most annoying patient. He reassured me and we went through my google doc together at the pre-op. He didn't push me to do more than I needed, in fact, he recommended that we just shave the bump in a closed rhinoplasty, and didn't work on the tip at all. He said "if you were my daughter, that's what I would do." That's when I was sold and knew I was in good hands! He is such a kind man and really wants the best for his patients. He does amazing work at an incredibly fair price!

All the people working in the front office are sweet, but I loved working with Trish. The team prepped me well for surgery, and I was SUPER impressed with the attention I got from the anesthesiologist, the nurse at the surgery center, and Dr. Struck himself prior to and after the surgery. Communication was 10/10!

I can't say enough good things about my experience, but two things I had wish I'd known:
1) The swelling once the splint comes off is BAD. My nose looked like a potato for the first couple of weeks, and swelling is still present, beyond a month after. Don't panic! They say it takes 6 months - 1 year to see final results. I included lots of pics of swelling to prove it!
2) I got super backed up from anesthesia. Tried many OTC treatments but the only thing that actually worked was chugging a bottle of magnesium citrate (cherry flavor). I finally was able to "go" on day 5!

Surgery: Breast Augmentation, Rhinoplasty, & Smart Lipo.

I absolutely love Dr. Struck and his medical team! They are so professional, informed, and personable, I can't speak highly enough of them tbh! Firstly, Dr. Struck listens, & he works very well with pictures you present of the aesthetics you are desiring to achieve, while expertly balancing that out with what is realistic based on your natural beauty aesthetics, nutrition, health history, and lifestyle. Secondly, he answers his emails, he provides the garments necessary for optimal support & recovery, and his care team checks in with you post-op as well! Thirdly, he has 3 office locations to choose from which is a huge bonus based on your travel preferences. I've been to all 3, and each office is great!

My results were so great for my first breast augmentation 3years ago, I went back to go a little larger, since I was more conservative going from such a small cup to implants in the first place. This time I did the works, after losing about 24lbs, I wanted to just tighten everything up, and do a whole quarantine glow up!

I would highly suggest preparing questions on implant types & recovery time for optimal results, doing all your research, filling all meds before surgery, gathering all loose fitting clothes/undies and putting them within arms reach without straining, getting all groceries done of easily digestible foods, buying laxatives, and absolutely having someone to assist you with going to/from the bathroom, washing up, and meal prep.

A super useful idea was having a side table setup with all my meds, ppe gear, sleeping masks, neck pillow, ponytail holders, tissue packs, paper towels, and phone/laptop chargers. For the fridge, I got mini Fiji waters & San Pellegrinos because they are lighter to hold, and straws. Lay out all your beauty cleanser needs, bath towels, unscented soaps, bathrobes, lay out extra pillows/pillowcases, etc, & also get a mini mouthwash, as the larger bottles are too heavy to handle after a breast augmentation. Anywho, this review is way past overdue! I am post-op recovering, and enjoying my results while sheltering in place, & most of all, I hope this review was super helpful to those wading the waters of cosmetic enhancements! Happy Plastic Surgery Results ladies & gents! Cheers!
