After doing consults with 5 different Motiva trained surgeons in the United Kingdom and the United States, there was no question Dr. Pittman was the best. For starters, he is one of the first surgeons on the United States to use Motiva implants. Second, I wanted pre-pectoral (in front of the muscle) placement of the implants because it looks better in the long term, it feels more natural to the touch, and it's less disruptive to your body. Third, I wanted to avoid excessive antibiotic use, since the science proves there is more harm than good in "preventative" courses. Fourth, Dr. Pittman's surgical suite is top of line, and they take every possible precaution to prevent contamination / infections. The outcome after surgery could not have been better. They look and feel extremely natural. I'm a fairly skinny person, and I'm very glad I went with the Erg 1 instead of the Erg 2 ... the Erg 1 has the perfect amount of droop. Erg 2 might have been too droopy for my frame. I also want to call out the anesthesiologist and surgical team -- they were seriously amazing on the day of surgery. I was nervous going into it, and they really put my mind at ease and took great care. If you're considering Motiva implants, Dr. Pittman is best in class. Look no further.
Dr. Pittman is amazing. My surgery was scheduled for 4/23/2021 and I am 6 days post op. The result so far exceeded my expectations. I know I still have A LOT of swelling and bruising that will take some time to go away so I won’t see the “final” results for a little while (3-9 months,) but my confidence is through the roof. I have been wearing my support garment almost 24/7 except for now I’m able to take showers, and I do a breast exam twice a day as advised by Dr. Pittman, so I unlatch my bra for 5-10 minutes out of the day, examine any swelling, bruising, and my incisions, even tho they are still covered and protected by durable steri-strips. After then I’ll put my support bra back on because I have noticed that they do tend to be more sore, heavy, and overall more sensitive and tender when the garment is off. Dr, Pittman’d bedside manner is outstanding. His voice is so soothing, and me being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, definitely made the decision tougher for me, but he reassured me that after the the procedure I would be happy with the results. He showed me a lot of implant options and sizes, and we came up with the best option for my body and frame together, instead of him making me feel like I didn’t have a say in what I wanted. He advised me on what size and shape implants would compliment my small stature and he uses the Crisalix software, so I was able to see an idea of how my new girls would look after the procedure was finished. Beware, that the imaging is not going to be an exact match of what you have after the procedure is done, or maybe they’ll look more like the Crisalix image after they have settled into their final destination (lol) and the bruising has subsided significantly. The entire team for Somenek & Pittman were extremely nice, welcoming, caring, comforting, and most importantly, PATIENT. Going into the consultation I had an exact idea of what I wanted my breasts to look like after, and Leeanne (patient care coordinator) and Dr. Pittman helped me to realize that my goals were not realistic, but didn’t make me feel embarrassed, judged or ridiculed. Instead, they walked me through options that would be better suited for me, and as soon as he showed me a size and shape implant that I fell in love with, I knew it would only be a matter of time before I fell even more in love after the procedure was done. Dr. Pittman’s bedside manner is also amazing, the day of surgery, after being prepped for the OR, he did something totally unexpected. He asked me who my favorite singer was and my favorite song from that artist. When I was escorted into the OR, the song was playing, and it made me feel more relaxed and comfortable. He made sure that I knew he cared about me, knowing how bad my anxiety could get. I fell asleep to my favorite song playing, and I woke up with my new girls!! The only discontent I had with Dr. Pittman is that I feel like he could have spent a little bit more time with me. I don’t blame him though, because I could have asked more questions, but since I had already done a sh*t ton of research, there wasn’t anything that he either didn’t already answer himself, or the research I did helped me with. After being home for a few hours, one of my nurses called me to make sure I was doing well, which again, was not expected but VERY appreciated. I had a concern later that day, and had an after hours number to call and spoke with someone who said he was going to forward my message/concern to Dr. Pittman, and again, to my surprise, Dr. Pittman personally called me within two minutes of me hanging of for his after hours answering service (a real person.) He reassured me that what I was experiencing was normal, and gave me tips on how to alleviate what I was experiencing. All in all, this express definitely worth it. I would recommend Dr. Pittman to anyone of any age who is considering any type of breast procedure. Even his social media presence helped me to solidify the the decision to have him as my surgeon. I will update as I progress through this healing journey.
I've wanted I breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. My mom got a breast augmentation shortly after I was born, so it was no surprise when I told my family I wanted to get one. I remember being 13 years old and asking my mom when would my boobs grow and she said "sweetie when you purchase them" lol. So for the past 10 years it's been something I considered and finally I decided now was the time to do it. I work at a dermatologist office and we refer patients to Dr. Michael Somenek for facial procedures, and thats how I found out about Dr. Troy Pittman (they're business partners and married, how cute!). After reading everything I could about him, going on his website and instagram, I knew he was the surgeon for me. He is the only doctor I had a consultation with and I have no regrets at all. He is passionate about breast implant safety (spoke at the FDA hearing about the safety of silicone implants!!) and has the best results I've seen. I had my consultation with him mid September and scheduled my surgery for December 16th. At my consultation he recommended gummy bear implants with the dual plane position, so that this would give me the most natural results. He took my measurements and showed me 3D images with different profiles and sizes so that I could see what the implants would look like on my body. My pre-op appointment was December 10th and we finalized the size of 365cc high profile implants there (I'm 135 pounds, 5'9 for reference). I was a little nervous about the size being too big, but I would rather them be a little too big than too small and I totally trusted his judgment. The day of the surgery I had to go into the surgical center alone (due to COVID), which was a little scary but he staff was so kind that my nerves went away once I saw the nurses. I was worried about waking up from anesthesia and being sad because after I got my wisdom teeth out the nurses wouldn't let my mom in and I cried. When I woke up from surgery this time the nurse was next to me and right away ask how I was feeling and if I needed anything. She gave me a muscle relaxer and a blanket and I was happy and smiling. I left shortly after and felt fine. I never experience any nausea or pain. My chest was sore, which was expected, and I only took the pain meds for 2 days. I took the muscle relaxer for about a week and then went back to work. I'm almost 6 weeks post-op and I couldn't be happier with the results. I started as a 32A and basically had no breast tissue. Surprisingly, I still fit into my old sports bras (lululemon size 6) which I'm so happy about! I went to Victorias Secret and they measured me as a 32DD but I don't know how accurate that is. My breasts are becoming squishier and more movable now. At my week 9 post op appointment he will show me how to massage them. I'm still wearing my surgical bra pretty much all of the time. I started sleeping on my side at 3 weeks once Dr. Pittman said it was okay. I seriously can't recommend Dr. Pittman enough! I had such an easy recovery and the results are everything I hoped they would be. He staff is kind and caring and were there to answer any questions I had before and after the surgery. Updated on 8 Feb 2021: Surgery was December 16th and this is them today! They're getting squishier and bouncier, and I'm still wearing a bra all of them time. My 9 week post op appointment is next week and I'm getting excited. I haven't tried massaging them yet, I'm waiting for Dr. Pittman to tell me what to do. I already love them so much and I'm looking forward to see if they change anymore.
I love Dr. Pittman! After massive weight loss and years of living in excess skin, he has taken me on a journey through several surgeries. I have one more planned with him. He and his staff are excellent and I recommend him to everyone that knows about my transformation. He has helped to uncover the real me. He is honest in the expectations and outcome of surgery, but most of all he truly cares!
I wanted to have a life and augmentation done for a number of years. I always thought that I would wait until after having children to have it done, but this year I figured why wait longer? I knew that Dr. Pitman was the best in the industry. I had seen his husband for a rhinoplasty, and had a great experience. Together they are a completely dynamic duo and I wouldn’t trust anyone else for any procedure that I’m having done. I’m so happy that they are finally in practice together. It’s a one stop shop for literally everything you need. My experience was 100% positive and worth every penny. Cosmetic surgery is expensive and not something to be taken lightly. There are risks and there are financial implications, but I did diligent research for years before deciding to have this done, and I know that I made the right decision with Dr. Pittman. The money was well spent and 100% worth it. The surgery center he uses is also top-notch. I ended up sending chocolates to all of the nurses I worked with. They were so patient, kind, and caring. I got no less than three calls from each one of his own staff members the day of and after the surgery. You could tell that they advocate for their patients, and they really care about your well-being and your healing. I’m just so incredibly happy. I’m only two days post op, and so happy and excited about the results. Really, if you’re going to make the decision to have this done, you don’t need to look any further than Dr. Pitman, and if there are other facial surgeries that you need, I would work with his husband Dr. Somenak. Together they are absolutely amazing. I’m also happy that I was able to see them before they became super famous and I can’t afford them anymore! Because that’s definitely where they’re headed!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Pittman. He is the most thoughtful, caring, direct, honest and compassionate doctor I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and being a patient of. Dr. Pittman has performed two breast augmentations for me, once in 2013 and again in May 2018. My first procedure was absolutely perfect...I went from a small B to a full C and could not have been happier with the shape, position, evenness and fullness of my breasts...I would get compliments all the time on my "perfect breast shape and size". In 2018, I was considering slightly larger breasts with a bit more cleavage than I had following my first procedure. I went to see Dr. Pittman and during my consultation, he understood the exact subtlety of the change I wanted to make within seconds of me talking (he's also an incredible listener)...he made me feel so comfortable about my decision. He talked me through every step of the process and procedure, and when he asked how soon I wanted to do it, I said "immediately, I can't wait...I am so excited"...and I was. Fast forward to now, it's been about 7 weeks since my procedure and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. My breasts are now a full D, and they are the perfect shape and evenness, my nipples are absolutely symmetrical, which was a concern of mine when going to the larger implant size. Dr. Pittman is hands down the ONLY doctor I would recommend for any type of breast surgery, be it augmentation, reconstruction, reduction, lift, etc. He is an absolute perfectionist in everything he does, and it shows. I have friends who have seen him for procedures and their feedback is exactly the same as mine...he is the best in the field, without question. I would recommend Dr. Pittman to anyone who is seeking a change with their breasts. Dr. Pittman is open and candid and will always make the best recommendation for each individual patient...he is the epitome of a doctor and surgeon who wants the best outcome for his patients, and commits himself fully to achieving that. On a more personal note, I consider Dr. Pittman a friend and partner in achieving my personal body and beauty goals. He understands my interests and needs and always acts as a true trusted advisor to me, and that alone is absolutely invaluable in a surgeon.
I had a breast reduction and lift and it is absolutely life changing! For years I debated doing it, because let's be honest- it's a big surgery and a little intimidating. I wouldn't trade the decision I made for the world. Dr. Pittman is absolutely a miracle worker! The weight has literally. been lifted off my shoulders. I was and 30 DDD (30 F) and now am I 30 C. With my former breasts, I had daily physical strain on my back. I got tendentious in my neck multiple times simply from wearing a bikini top. I was unable to run without wearing 3 sports bras, had trouble fitting into clothes, constantly felt self conscious, and had old dirty men staring at my cleavage. Now, my boobs are perky and beautiful! I feel so PROUD saying it because I certainly didn't feel that way before. Pittman is such a talented doctor- an ethically sound and totally trustworthy person who makes you feel at ease. He has specialized in breast reconstruction for years. I told my story as an important part of the process. The procedure was thoroughly explained and all questions and concerns were addressed. EVERY step of the way, his medical staff and assistants were wonderful. I've never felt so taken care of by a whole team. They were fully engaged and it just made the whole process enjoyable. Look- I never leave reviews, but my life has dramatically changed for the better by this surgery, and I just have to preach about the man responsible for it! It feels like I have clouds for breasts and they look incredible. I could not recommend a better doctor and medical team. Your expectations will be exceeded and you will be as happy as I am!
I'm 65. I had large dark bags under my eyes. I felt my face sagging. I thought I wanted a face lift. I went in to see Dr Pittman. He was very pleasant and listened to me. Then he stared at my face for a long, long time. He chatted away but he was looking intently at my face. Then he moved to my left and then my right and again looked intently at my face. It was intense. It turned out that was the worst part of the whole thing. Dr Pittman very patiently explained what he saw, how he though he could intervene. He explained what he recommended and how it could be done, what it would entail, and when he could do it. It turned out to be much less surgery than I expected. The process: consultation, preparation, surgery, followup etc was so well executed that I can't even comment on it. It just flowed.
I highly recommend Dr. Pittman. He and his team were extremely professional and supportive throughout, and very patient addressing all of my concerns. I am very happy with the reconstruction, the scars are so very discreet and no one can tell, even in a bikini, that I have had a mastectomy. I am extremely grateful for the care that I received.
I went to Dr. PIttman for a breast aumgmentation with lift. I have been putting off writing this review until my breast settled. I am now 7 months post surgery. I can confidently say that Dr. Pittman is not a skilled surgeon and I would warn anyone not to go to him. I went to Dr. Pittman for a routine breast implant with lift and my results are far from acceptable. My breasts are now assymtetrical, not at the same level, and I have a seious amount of scar tissue. I also have want it is called double pocket where the implant falls out of socket. I have consulted other plastic surgeons for a revision and they are shocked by the results of my first surgeon. Please do not go see this doctor. He is not skilled and has a even worse bedside manner. Updated on 25 Feb 2025: I visited Dr. Pittman for a breast lift with implants. My consultation was brief—only about 10 minutes—and Dr. Pittman seemed to downplay any concerns, suggesting that the surgery would be routine. He reassured me that I wasn’t very asymmetrical and told me not to worry. However, I started to have doubts about Dr. Pittman a week before my surgery when his office called asking if I could move the date of the surgery up by a day. I declined. On the day of my surgery, I saw that Dr. Pittman was posting on social media about how excited he was for his vacation after finishing my surgery. This made me feel uncomfortable. During the procedure, Dr. Pittman chose to use the same size implants in my asymmetrical breasts—something no one, including the surgeons I've consulted for a revision, understands. On top of that, one of my breasts developed double bubbling, and I’ve also experienced significant scar tissue buildup. I’ve since scheduled a revision surgery, but I feel the need to warn others. Dr. Pittman does not seem to prioritize his patients or their concerns—he’s more focused on his social media presence. Although he admitted that I needed a revision, he refused to perform it himself. I also requested a refund, but I have not received any response. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Dr. Pittman.
You're definitely not too old for these procedures. As long as you are in good health, you would likely benefit from the procedures. Also, depending on how long your implants have been in, it may be time for a redo anyway. It's important to consult with a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss you concerns and desires.
Thanks for your question. As I'm sure you've been told, you have a tuberous breast. In your case, your breasts sit high on your chest wall and are constricted with most of your breast tissue sitting behind your areola. To correct these issues, a number of things can be done.1. The diameter of your areola needs to be reduced to bring it more into balance with the rest of your breast.2. The breast gland can be opened up by scoring the tissue on the inside.3. A small to moderate sized implant can be inserted to help round out the breast and give you more volume.4. Your inframammary fold can be lowered to bring the overall postion of your breast down.These changes would be significant. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. Have you been diagnosed with Poland Syndrome? There is another condition called Anterior Thoracic Hypoplasia that looks like Poland Syndrome however patients still have a pectoralis muscle. I've had success with getting this condition covered by insurance but it really depends on your insurance carrier.
Thanks for your question. Many times, both procedures can be done at the same time. There is an inherent risk with doing this given the fact that implants are meant to make the breast larger and more full and breast lift is done to make the skin envelope smaller. Having said that, if I am going to do the operation in 2 stages, I prefer to do the lift first. Many women are satisfied with their breasts after a lift. If you still feel that your breasts are too small, implants can be put in. It's better to get control of the skin envelope before introducing implants. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Thanks for your question and the pictures. Your breasts are not in an unfavorable position. However, you lack upper pole volume and the lower part of your breast has started to sag. You need more upper pole volume and the lower pole expanded. This could easily be achieved with a breast augmentation. This would spare you excess scars on the breast. The highly-cohesive shaped implants in particular would help achieve this goal.Hope this helps. Best of luck.
