Tracy L. Cordray, MD

My experience was wonderful, she’s Great at what she does and I couldn’t thank her enough. She made sure that I was fine before and after my surgery. She also has a wonderful team behind her. I couldn’t ask for a better surgeon.

Dr. Cordray and Erica were amazing for my recent breast implant surgery. I was going under for a tube removal and a bladder sling when I joked to my OBGYN “I wish you could fix my post breastfeeding boobs too” and they suggested I call Dr Cordray. She was very knowledgeable and patient will all my questions and concerns. I have wanted something very subtle and natural and that is just what I have ended up with. I have felt very well taken care of and even received personal checkup phone calls from Dr Cordray at 24 hours and when I had a concern over the weekend. I cannot highly recommend her enough.

Great bedside manner, excellent doctor! The best overall experience ever ! Dr Tracy and Erica were great from start to finish. I didn't know what to expect; however, the doctor reassured me that I would be fine!

My breast reduction. I don't think I could do it all over if I had the chance but it's worth it to relive pain and weight. Dr. Tracy and Erica are super nice and patient very pleasant and professional.

With Dr Cordray's guidance, I feel I made the right decision to have a Bilateral DIEP Flap reconstruction. She was very helpful and caring during the tissue expansion phase and then showed her brilliance when it came to the autologous tissue reconstruction. In all of Los Angeles, she was the right doctor for me.

I came to Dr Cordray during a very scary time in my life - I wanted a talented female surgeon with extensive experience, compassion, understanding and warmth. Yes, it is a tall order these days but I was in a place where I needed hand holding and was lucky enough to have gotten all that I was looking for and more. The only "price" I had to pay for what I wanted was just a longer commute in LA traffic.....for those who do not know LA traffic...it can be a bear but it was worth it many times over.

Dr Cordray was welcoming and especially understanding of all my anxiety and fears from previous procedures involved with my treatment and quickly turned me into a much more relaxed patient. Appointments were always friendly and easy, my wait time was usually just a few minutes.

As scary as surgery can be, Dr Cordray and her staff made things easier for me and my family and I have no complaints.

The end result of the whole reconstruction process blew me away. Not only do I look great, but I look very natural and perfectly proportioned for my frame size. Honestly, I look better now than I did in my twenties! (in my 40's now).

If you are in need of a plastic and/or reconstructive surgeon and you want to see the best of the best, you owe it to yourself to meet with Dr Cordray.....she is a healer and an artist.

I am 110% satified wwith my breast reduction results- Dr. Cordray was great- i was feeling nervous as the surgery date approached but Dr. Corday helped address all my concerns (fears) and really calmed my nerves. She did a beautiful job on my reduction, exactly the size we discussed. I would refer Dr. Cordray to anyone looking for an expirienced and fantastic Doctor.

I had silicone implants (300 cc) placed in 1986 and had them removed in June 2013. They actually looked very real! I thought they were ruptured due to slight variations in appearance over the past 5 years and occasional sensation of burning in the breast area. When I discussed my concern about possible ruptures with my GYN he advised me that he didn't think they were ruptured due to the smooth contour and symmetrical appearance. He agreed to order an ultrasound to evaluate the implants due to their age alone (26 years).

My insurance advised they would pay for an ultrasound but not a MRI (which is the gold standard for evaluating ruptured breast implants). I paid the $1200 cash out of pocket expense and soon afterwards received word from my GYN that "yes they are ruptured" but had not migrated to surrounding tissue.

On the day of my explant surgery I asked to have my ruptured implants photographed. In the photos the red/orange material on the side are the capsules that formed around the implants. Luckily, the capsules prevented the implants from migrating into surrounding areas of my body. The yellow "jelly fish" like material are the ruptured implants themselves.

Those sexy breasts of mine may have looked attractive on the outside but they weren't so pretty on the inside. I am truly happy to be free of the implants and back to my natural self.



Updated on 9 Sep 2013:
My breast implant placement scars are around the areola. The scars under my breast (in the crease) were made from the explant surgery. Mederma ointment is helping decrease the scar appearance every day and week.

Granted, many women would not like their breasts as small as mine are now but I was an "A" cup prior to surgery and went to a full "B" cup with the implants.

The only reason I could have done this surgery was by reading the many comments on the forum. I don't know who exactly to thank but my sincere gratitude goes to the many women who wrote about their experiences prior to my own surgery on June 12, 2013. I don't think I would have done the explant without their comments.
