Susan Buenaventura, MD, FACS

Dr. Buenaventura was a complete godsend for me! I initially had my first breast implant procedure done by a different doctor in September 2018. I got Allergen 295 cc, Mod. Plus, silicone implants - within 2 months I realizes things werent looking right, they were sitting too high (naturally), not dropping, and I completely HATED what I was seeing. By the 3rd to 4th month of my first procedure the implants started to feel hard when I would stretch or put my self in a different position other than what is considered a "normal resting position". As soon as I hit my 6 month post op date I immediately went in to see dr. Buenaventura. At my revision consultation she immediately was able to point out everything that I was disliking about my previous procedure (**see attached photos** too high, not sitting naturally, no cleavage, etc.) and even mentioned that the implants/the pre op photos I brought in look as if I had "tuberous breasts". She answered any and all questions I had (I came in with a notebook full from technical/medical terms, implant size/appearance for my body type, operation procedures, post op question, aftercare, emergency procedures, etc) without hesitation, even if some of them sounded redundant. I even messaged her with additional questions I may have had leading up to the procedure date. From the second I woke up from the procedure I could tell an immediate difference in look/feel of the implants. I went from Allergen 295cc mod. plus silicone implants to Mentor 400cc, mod. plus silicone implants and could not be more happy. For both procedures I went under the muscle and had the incision under the breast. For the post op care, all the staff at the Sendi Office were very professional and willing to help with any and all concerns I had. As of today (December 2019) I'm 7.5 months post op and have had an amazing experience. I went from a little less than an A cup to a full C cup. The size fits my body type, looks VERY natural, and isnt over powering. Being in the military I workout quite often and I havent noticed any restrictions when I work out due to the implants. Because I got the plants placed under the muscle I do feel/notice the tightening of the muscle around the implants but it's nothing drastic that stops the performance.

I can't say enough good things about this practice. From the first phone call to my procedure. Everyone was nice, professional and answered all my questions and concerns. I had my first consultation for coolsculpting in April I was greeted by Dr. Buenaventura who went over the procedure with me she had Ann come in afterwards to talk about my concerns she was awesome! She explained how the procedure would be done in detail and put all my concerns at ease. I had my first procedure done in May with no discomfort or side effects. Went back today for the second procedure with minimal discomfort now we just wait and see so far I am pleased I took this step and looking forward to the results. Thank you Dr. Buenaventura and Ann for such and awesome experience!!!

Dr. Buenaventura is truly a Godsend. I have had the experience of going through three breast augmentations...I never expected that I would be able to say that! But after the first (saline) implants outlived their lifespan of eleven years and had to be replaced, I was very unhappy with how I looked. My original doctor was not available, and I wasn't sure who to turn to for the replacement . Unfortunately, things didn't go well...This second set of implants were not the right size for my body (i.e., lumpy and uncomfortable), and my scars were puffy and ugly. It was so depressing! Finally, I decided to get the procedure redone, by Dr. Buenaventura. On a daily basis now, I couldn’t be happier with how I look and fell. She is truly an excellent doctor, and for me, a miracle worker. She took extra care to make sure this third surgery would be perfect. I now have the right-sized implants, which look and feel more natural than even the first ones, because of her adjustments. My scars have almost disappeared after 6 months—and I have Irish skin that hides nothing! Besides being an expert, Dr. Buenaventura is just the most lovely person to have led me on this journey. Her staff are lovely, too, and so caring. To anyone considering plastic surgery, I can tell you with complete confidence that you will be so happy if you use Dr. Buenaventura. Updated on 17 Feb 2019: I almost forgot to mention that this was not an easy surgery! It was quite involved, especially because surgery #2 had complications, there was a lot of scar tissue. I don't know everything that was involved, but I would not have trusted any other doctor to do it so perfectly.

Minimal prep time. Good comfortable positioning. Slight tingling at first and sensations of bubbles moving under the skin. No pain afterwards and no soreness as the tech massages the tissue when done Will go back for more.This reviewer received a gift card from RealSelf in exchange for their review

Dr. Buenaventura combines excellent surgical skills with a caring and highly engaged interpersonal manner. Every interaction with her before and after surgery has been professional and informative but her warm and calm demeanor made me feel especially comfortable and at ease to ask questions. I am now four and a half weeks post op and can say without reservation that I feel very satisfied with the surgical/hospital experience as well as the results of her meticulous and experienced hands.

I absolutely loved Dr. B. She has a warm, kind, and caring attitude/personality that is shared and felt by her entire team. She listened to what I wanted and answered all of my questions. She provided real insight with what I was looking for presurgery and continues to provide that insight post op. The care she provideds is truly personalized to the needs and wants of her patients.

My entire adult life I struggled emotionally and physically with a scarred and protruding belly from pregnancy. I finally got up the courage to consult a surgeon at the age of 64. I had originally met Dr. Buenaventura for a different corrective surgical procedure on my ears that were not properly restored to their original shape upon a face lift from another doctor. She did a wonderful job, and I could not have been happier. I knew then that she would be the doctor for me to discuss a tummy tuck. I received complete and thorough information from her and her staff prior to making the final decision to go forward. Not only that, Dr. Buenaventura was kind, sensitive and understanding, and I did not feel any of the usual embarrassment I would normally feel when my belly was exposed to another doctor. The result of my tummy tuck is life changing. My self esteem is renewed, and my only regret is that I did not have it years earlier. I am forever grateful to her for her excellent surgical skill and the warmth and good care she gave to me after the procedure.

I had a great experience with CoolScultping. The results are truly fantastic. I like the fact that it was non-invasive and did not take much time. There was not no down time, and no discomfort. I watched TV while the procedure took place and the results showed fairly quickly. I wish I did this sooner. This reviewer received a gift card from RealSelf in exchange for their review.

I’ve been coming here for years after looking for someone that could give me a natural look with Dysport and have since used them for another of other services as well as referred several new patients. The staff is great and the Facility is always clean. They offer a nice array of products to meet just about everyone’s needs.

Mi experiencia fue maravillosa, y mis resultados con Coolsculting fueron muy buenos. No tuve dolor y fue muy facil. Me encanta que no tiene que tener reposo y pude hacer mi rutina diaria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This reviewer received a gift card from RealSelf in exchange for their review.
