Richard T. Bosshardt, MD

I was tired of the back and neck pain. My friends all thought I was crazy and didn't think I was that big. The dr. Said I hid them well. I got approved by insurance the first try so it went faster than I thought. I am two weeks post op and feel great. No complications. I am so happy I did it and didn't wait any longer.

I had my IPL treatment performed today. I am very happy so far.The pain during treatment was minimal, but I have a high pain threshold. My doctor was very concerned about any pain I was experiencing and asked me several times during the procedure what level of pain I was experiencing. It felt like a mild sunburn; but as the day went on it went away. I also used an aloe gel that I keep in the refrigerator on the areas that were treated. I can already see results, the dark freckles that appear after treatment are already "falling off". I had my arms, chest and hands done (that is the reason for the price). I have 3 more treatments left (all are included in the price) and I am excited about the final result.I have lived in Florida and spent most of my life on the beach. Also I am a nail technician and have worked in the Salon Industry for many years. Tanning beds are very popular here and I have spent many many hours "baking" in them. I own a Salon at present and recently removed my tanning bed from the Salon. I am 47 years old and I am sorry for the damage I have done to my skin. I have had many "spots" of Basil Cell Carcinoma removed by a Dermatologist. A tan is nice, but it just isn't worth it. Use a self tanning lotion if you want a tan. Today I use sunblock every day over my entire body and stay out of the sun as much as possible. All though this is my first treatment I can tell this will return my skin to a more youthful look and am really looking forward to my follow up treatments.Make sure you really "check out" the doctor performing your treatment. I used a Plastic Surgeon who is well known in my area and has performed "Non-Ablative Laser" on a scar I had on my cheek due to another doctor's bad laser treatment. He also did a great job removing a mole, fixing a scar from a breast biopsy and a "slit" in my ear where my earring broke through the skin. I can wear earrings again.My experience, so far, has been extremely positive.

So far I'm only 4 days post-op but I'm already loving my new look. I've tried on everything in my closet a million times and everything looks/fits so much better. My doctor is awesome! I looked up all the doctors in my area and examined the pictures of their work. The doctor I chose is the only one who's pictures were all EXACTLY what I was looking for. I never knew until I started this search that there were many different ideas of what pretty breasts look like. And I expected this to be some of the worst pain of my life... but it's a walk in the park. I have been taking the medication but now I'm thinking I could've just taken Tylenol the whole time.

Dr. Bosshardt performed my first surgery back in 2007 and did a wonderful job. He also did breast surgery on two of my sisters, we were all very pleased with his work. I am currently 5 days out from surgery very excited to get this done, doctor ordered 525 CC and 550cc and we'll make the choice in the operating room, but I'm really hoping for 550cc, don't feel it will be much difference with anything less since I'm under the muscle. I have included some wish pictures I know it's a mighty big wish to feel butt I'm hoping he can make it happen. little info about me I'm a mother of five and a grandmother of six . I workout 6 days a week so I'm really hoping the down time will be short, its been so long I cant really remember how long I was down last time,.well I guesss I'll know in a few days will update with new pictures then. Updated on 11 Jul 2017: So I will be arriving at. Doctor Bosshardt office at 11 a.m. and surgery is scheduled for 12:00, super excited and ready to have this behind me. Took a few more before pictures, will be posting the after picture soon.???? Updated on 12 Jul 2017: Had my surgery today, everything went well. Dr. Bosshardt ended up going with 575cc. I'll be able to take my surgical bra off Saturday for a shower and a peak, will post pictures then. As for the pain it's not really too bad. Going to be a bad hair day for a while lol, as I can't lift my arm very high. So for now just kicking back and watching TV and I will post again Saturday. Updated on 15 Jul 2017: Updated on 18 Jul 2017: 6 days out, so far I'm very happy with the results. the most miserable part of the whole experience is this awful bloating, be so glad when it's gone and I feel normal again. my right side is still a little swollen and a little higher than the left, I see my PS tomorrow and hopefully I will begin the massaging exercises and they will even out. I will be updating more pictures in a few days. Updated on 24 Jul 2017: Updated on 25 Jul 2017: Updated on 26 Oct 2017: Starting over Updated on 26 Oct 2017: starting over
