I had droopy eyelids causing limited and blurry vision. Dr Schuster and his staff were a wonder!! Professional, informative, friendly and kind. Surgery was done in 2 parts After the first part I could see well enough to get around by myself. After recovery from second part my vision is better than it has been in years. I spent a ride to the grocery just watching palm tree fronds shimmer in the breeze. I am seeing things that I didn't even realize I missed. I can read, watch TV and sew again. And my husband says I look younger and more beautiful. Highly recommend to my friend and neighbors!!
I had a great experience with Dr. Schuster. From the first consultation, to the surgery and all the followups thereafter. He did a great job on my breasts and I am very satisfied with the results. The office staff is extremely nice and helpful.
I had seen a few other Plastic Surgeons before meeting with Dr. Schuster and will never see another again. Dr. Schuster is kind and professional with many years of experience. His staff is wonderful as well. I went to Dr. Schuster for an implant revision and exchange. I had saline implants which were way too wide for my body. Dr. Schuster replaced the implants with narrower silicone implants. They fit my body and are much more natural looking. I couldn't be happier with the results and this practice. I plan on returning to Dr. Schuster in the future for other procedures.
I am 5'3 123 pounds, I have a very tiny upper body which paired oddly with my heavy lower legs. When the nurse measured my mid calf I was 13". I absolutely hated wearing skirts/dresses since I looked so oddly proportioned. I consulted with Dr. Shuster and he made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. I must admit after reading all of the reviews on the lower legs over the course of my research for several years I was freaked out. Every review makes this procedure sound extremely painful with a lot of down time. Immediately after surgery I was able to walk out of the car and into my building with ease. I felt mild pain maybe due to the hydrocodine I was prescribed. I was also given a muscle relaxer which had me feeling at ease and allowed me to sleep on and off all day. I made sure to keep off my feet with the exception of going to the restroom as well as keep my feet elevated as instructed. After a great 2nd day follow up I felt well enough to go shopping at the mall and out to lunch with my girlfriend. I did consult with Dr Shuster prior to doing so at my consultation. During the consult they removed my bandages and replaced them with a compression garment up to my knees. This was actually the most painful part , pulling them over my legs really hurt. Once on I again felt mild discomfort similar to having a bruise. I am already seeing a difference from my ankle up to mid calf after that it is still swollen but I can tell Im very happy with the procedure. I was told I would see the most benefits after 1 month, I will try to update at that time. Updated on 18 Feb 2015: So in my last review I made mention that I had seen immediate results. This faded fast due to a lot of swelling that came in on day 3 and day 4 was the bruising. I was pretty badly bruised as expected. About the pain I really have to say it was really minimal and still is. Honestly I could have gone back to a desk job the day after. This shocked me. I am now currently day 8 and I've been back to work and in heels for 3 days. Something really random happened around day 4 I had a crazy migraine , I have never experienced this kind of headache. Nothing made it go away it eventually faded but I just kind of wrote it off as something odd. I did Google the tingling of my legs I have recently been experiencing and found it was completely normal and came across someone else's migraine after liposuction post. Now I see I'm not alone maybe it had to do with the shock from surgery idk but I'm curious if many others experience this as a lot of dr's chimed in that this is not common. I accidentally deleted my before pics I will try to find more and upload as well as current pic soon.
I've always struggled with my breast size. I'm 5'2, 105 pounds and the time was barely a 32 A. I tried everything from push-up bras, vitamins, creams, and massages. I even went on birth control 7 years ago in hopes that it would help, but it didn't. I was nervous at first because I didn't want to be judged for my decision, but my friends and family were extremely supportive. It was taking an emotional toll on me shopping for bras, bathing suits, and clothes and having nothing fit right. My surgery was almost a year ago. I am now a full 32 B and couldn't be happier with my decision.
I had the calf and ankle liposuction. I am 5'6 and 110lbs and 43yrs old. I am a thin frame so for me to have fat ankles and calves and skinny thighs looks really bizarre. People would make comments and it made me very self conscious! It was really painful to walk for at least a week post surgery. I am 2 weeks and 3 days post op. Feeling unsure if I see ANY results! I know it's only been 2+ weeks but I expected to see some difference? The doctor showed me that he suction 700 cc's out? I was told to wait 1 month to see any changes and 3 months for final results? I had body sculpting "liposuction" on my ankle area 6 years ago and I saw I much bigger difference then immediately. I felt that more needed to be taken around the ankle and the calf to be more well defined! My Dr. Is board certified and highly skilled but I don't see a change at all! 700 cc's is a lot it equals 23.66 ounces which is almost 2lbs. I did hot yoga last Thursday which was exactly 2 weeks after surgery! I still cant sit on the back of my legs or Neal down. I am feeling very discouraged......keep you posted!
I was hardly a 32 A before my augmentation. I was scared that my surgeon would make me either too big or too small... I only wanted to go up to a nice full B-ish. I didn't want LARGE boobs I just didn't want to have tiny boobs or be embarrassed anymore. I went to Dr. Steven Schuster in Boca Raton, Florida and it was worth every last penny. His office was SO professional and I felt safe, happy, and most importantly comfortable at all times. He is reachable at any time before and after surgery. He helped guide me as to which size would look most natural and I wouldn't change a thing about how my breasts came out. I was very impressed at where/ how he placed the silicone. For my particular surgery, the silicone was placed under the muscle and I'm not overwhelmed or worried about massaging them in to place like some women are... because they just look great! You should check out his website... I wouldn't take time out of being a first year law school student to write a review on the internet if I wasn't completely satisfied. :]
Nice guy but results weren't what i expected on my nose,didnt do what i asked for after 2 infections thought i looked better before im sure he knew it couldnt get me out fast enough ask for after pic twice promised to me never heard from office again would not recommend anyone
I heard Dr Shuster was a good plastic surgeon so I went to see him. I told him I wanted a lift and implants and to go from a C cup to a D cup. The first surgery went well but I had no lift and he only put in 275cc and 250cc's. I wanted at least 350cc. We did the second surgery to lift my breasts and I am now with 2 uneven and sagging breasts. I'm so upset. I asked him if he could fix them and he said he couldn't put in bigger implants because it would look bad. That is his opinion not what I wanted. He always made me feel as if I was wrong in what I wanted and made me feel like I was wasting his time If anyone knows of a great plastic surgeon in Boca Raton FL please let me know. .
I decided in the past year or two that I definitely wanted to get this procedure. I'm not actually for cosmetic surgery but out of the things about myself that could change to better improve my quality of life, this is something I can't do on my own but would drastically improve my way of life. I found this site and after reading many reviews in favor, found a (semi) local surgeon that was highly rated on the site and had my first (free) consultation with proposed images. Though I want it as soon as possible and have my Care Credit ready with the right credit limit, I booked it for the week before thanksgiving to give myself the most time off to recoup. My preop is 2 weeks prior and since the dr wants me to teturn the next morning & its 1.5 hrs away, I booked a hotel locally for the night just to not add any discomfort to my first 24hrs. Also, I LOVED how the dr didn't ask for sample pics of others, just focused on what would like best on me, which is what j was hoping he'd say. We were in the same page and I really didn't have many questions, just eager to look different and anxious for the pain. Updated on 16 Oct 2015: I've been going and back forth between whether or not I should undergo this big thing. But when I look at my pictures I took for this, it reminds me how much I want it. I'm used to not really liking my appearance so I refrain from mirrors too much, but when I do look in them I see what I want to improve. I don't find myself unattractive, I just think my nose holds me back from liking what I see. My pre-op is getting closer so it's starting to set in that this is happening. I'm trying not to dwell on it because I don't want scare myself, I know I should be prepared and concerned but I don't want to think of anything negative. I've saved some new glasses, sunglasses, & hats to purchase once it's complete. I avoided them because of my nose my whole life so I'm excited to be confident in my own skin soon. Here are some pics from a recent wedding that I felt cute but still aware of my noses' presence per say.. Updated on 2 Nov 2015: So I feel like I know more about this process from this site rather than my Dr. This is okay, I'm from Florida so I'm used to healthcare here being unconcerned with wellbeing & I haven't pressed to inquire any further with questioning considering I'm trying to "go with the flow" & I feel as prepared as I need to be, any more info would just scare me. But I had my scheduled pre-op so I take another chunk of time out of my work schedule to travel down south which I try to usually avoid. I deliberately kept the idea of the blood draw out of my head so I didn't get anxious. I arrive on time 3:30p, & just like last time was seemingly reluctantly greeted by the receptionist. I'm handed a packet & told to go across the building for my blood draw & that I could read the packet while I wait: so thinking "that was vague" I travel over & wait. I get called back & the nurse hardly acknowledges me or explains everything, she's just talking to herself & others but again I'm used to this so I just try to keep calm. So without warning she starts the draw & I look away & tell about nothing to distract myself. As soon as she finishes, my ears start ringing & I start breaking into an ins tense cold sweat so I calmly ask for some water. My stomach starts to turn, the ringing increases, my vision starts blurring, & I try to remain calm still, trying to drink the water. I try asking for crackers but j can't hear myself at this point or see, so she puts it in my hand & I try to grab it but my hands are completely numb & I can't feel it. My feet have also gone numb & fall from the chair just dangling uncomfortably. I take deep breaths but at this point I'm really concerned, drenched in sweat, & feeling like my body is revolting against me. I sit for 20min like a rag doll until I come too. I ask the nurse what happened & she said I must've been nervous. When I leave, I look at the Drs office & think "I really feel like they should've explained more to me, given me prescriptions, something! But I felt so traumatized & they didn't tell me to return so I leave. I'm driving home & I get a call asking why I left & didn't come back to see the dr. I say no one told me & get told that's not the case. I offer to turn around & get told 'we close soon' so no. So they ask if I can come back this week & I explain that i can't keep takin. So much time off of work & it's a lot of travel, so she reluctantly tells me to try to drive back. I start crying hysterically because I'm so livid at the lack of communication & I know they're not going to wait for me. So I call back to reschedule & they try to again point out that the miscommunication was on my part & that the process is always to see he dr after (as though I get this done all the time) so I mention that I had a horrible blood draw experience & since I wasn't asked to return, I left. So she asks what happened & I think 'wow she's concerned' & explain briefly what happened. She proceeds to tell me my being sick is why I got confused. I'm so upset at this point, even if I were the one who didn't understand, you're not supposed to place the blame on me & use my sickness against me! I'm about to undergo a huge procedure & spend a lot of money, you should be comforting me! Between my first less-than-comforting experience in addition to this (& everyone spelling my name wrong, getting my birthdate wrong, & saying the wrong procedure date!) I'm really questioning this. I'm going to sleep on it & see if I should proceed or consider this a warning sign & let them keep my deposit & decide later if j should bother with this. I definitely don't want to have to get my blood drawn over again but I don't want to risk my health & sanity more so in the wrong hands... :(
Dear DW, thank you for your question in regard to liposuction. Although you have a small amount of fat in the inner thighs and medial knees you certainly could have very conservative liposuction to thin these areas out if you find the really bothered. And up with legs like the pictures you send, I think that is unrealistic and those might have been photo shop that as well. I do think a conservative liposuction will benefit you in the area where you have the inner thigh and knee that you are concerned about and I would see a board-certified plastic surgeon who will appropriately assess you and give you an honest answer of what he or she can achieve. Good luck with your decision
Thank you Stan for your question. One other view that would be very helpful in terms of assessing the nasal tip is a worm's eye view looking at the tip from below. In looking at the pictures you send you had a very nice result from your previous rhinoplasty but according to you you are unhappy with the tip. Certainly a tip revision could be performed possibly adding a small shield cartilage graft to accentuate the tip and this might be 1 of the easiest ways to go to give better definition. Certainly without feeling the tip and actually assessing the nose in person it is difficult to say but this is something that is not uncommon and revision occurs in about 10% of patients Nationwide after a rhinoplasty. Speak to several doctors in year area including original surgeon if he is still available. Good luck in your decision, Dr. Steven Schuster in Boca Raton Florida.
dear pretty, the fat pockets that you see our possibly a combination of several things. One you had liposuction which appears to have corrected the neck very nicely. You do appear to have some jowl Ling and you have an indentation just anterior to this called the pre jowl sulcus. You also do appear to have a slightly weak chin which complicates this. The easy way to take care of this is with some very fine cannula liposuction to that little jowl pocket combined with fat augmentation to the pre jowl sulcus the groove in front of the fat pocket and possibly some fat in the chin to increase projection. If you are looking for something more permanent you could combined some superficial liposuction with a chin augmentation using an extended implant which would fill that pre jowl sulcus as well. I do not know where you are located but certainly there are many board-certified plastic surgeons who perform this surgery an you might seek the advice of several doctors including your previous surgeon who may be able to assist you in terms of costs. Good luck with your decision.
The real question here is not about rhinoplasty but whether not it is safe. Rhinoplasty in and of itself is an extremely safe procedure with low risk and great patient's satisfaction. If you were my patient in Boca Raton Florida the 1st thing I would do is discuss this with your nephrologist and M at the evaluate you for appropriateness of the surgery. If he or she feels it is safe to do and I would probably recommend doing it in the hospital as a 23 hour stay so that her potassium skin be monitored as opposed to the office where would be more difficult to do so. The key is to speak tear nephrologist and find out what he would like you to do if you decide to go ahead with the surgery and coordinated with your plastic surgeon. Good luck on your choice, Dr. Steven Schuster in Boca Raton Florida the.
Dear Abner, I do not think there is a plastic surgeon around who has not seen your problem. The at the answer to what to do depends on several things. It appears as though your implants are somewhat low and you have the classic case of a double bubble. I am going to assume that your implants are under the muscle and if you flex your chest muscle this creases accentuate and the implants will move more to the side. I am also going to assume although there was not a picture review lying down that when you lay down with out of bra the implants move laterally toward the arm leaving a wider space between the breasts. Assuming that there are several recommendations. I would consider changing her implants from under the muscle if they are to over the muscle which would obliterate this double bubble and possibly the addition of some type of mesh to support the breast. I would also repair the lateral pocket to prevent the implants from moving to 4 to the side. You might also consider dropping down the size a little that because they will look bigger over the muscle then under the muscle. Although I am not familiar with your area I would assume there are several plastic surgeons you could see who might be able to evaluate you and give you a fee for the corrections. It also might be that your doctor who has retired has turned his practice and his charts over to another physician and you might be able to see them as well. Good luck with your decision.
