I had the Halo laser treatment done 12 days ago and am extremely happy with my results so far. I am getting married in the spring and wanted an effective treatment without too much downtime to get my skin back on track before my wedding. My primary goals were to help reduce pore size, reduce fine lines around my eyes and forehead, and reduce sun damage and spots. I had a consultation with my laser tech Bonny Domoto at JC Plastic Surgery in Atlanta first to talk about options. It was really important to me to find someone experienced, knowledgeable and qualified with this treatment! I had heard a lot of great things about my tech, the office, and Halo from other friends and was really interested in the procedure. I knew there was about 3 days of down time where I would want to stay in, so I had to plan my schedule around this. I also got on skincare to use before and after the treatment to help enhance results. I was glad to get a regimen of products and treatments to follow before my wedding to help make my skin look its very best. The day of the procedure, a topical numbing cream was applied to my skin about 45 minutes before the treatment. My skin was extremely numb from the cream and during the treatment a fan was used to help cool the skin. The more passes that were done, the more I could feel the treatment, but it was definitely tolerable. It mostly felt like heat and after the treatment it felt like I had a strong sunburn. Several hours after the treatment, the sunburn feeling calmed down and I was comfortable aside from my skin feeling tight. I had minimal swelling after, but my skin got more red the next day and bronzed. By the second day I had all these little brown spots come up everywhere and by the fourth to fifth day they had almost all peeled off. What I notice now is my skin is extremely soft, even, and I have that "Halo glow!" I am so glad I had this done. I will post my after photos when I follow up after 4 weeks. If you want a very experienced office and laser tech, I highly recommend you see Bonny at JC Plastic Surgery. She is very thorough and caring through the process. So excited for my results so far! Love the Halo laser!

I couldn't have found a better doctor, I first met Dr. Chang when she was apart of Artisan Plastic Surgery. I loved her work and her caring personality from the first time I met her, but at the time I wasn't ready to have a Breast Reduction, mainly b/c I was scared to have the procedure, but I regret not getting it done a year ago. Finally I'm ready and when I called back to get in touch with Dr. Chang, I was pleased to know she has started her own Practice JC Plastic Surgery In Atlanta. I had my second consultation with Dr. Chang - was just as amazing as the first one. I truly believe she the best kept secret with it comes to breast reduction and lifts, her work is beautiful, I'm hoping that my results are of what I have seen from her previous Patients. INSURANCE APPROVAL: It was so easy- I even got a personal call from United when they approved my Surgery. Updated on 11 Jun 2016: I had my breast reduction yesterday, I was so nervous, I was going to cancel. I got to Northside Hospital and got checked into outpatient admissions and everyone is so kind and makes you feel comfortable. The nurse comes to get me from my Breast Care Surgery Center Waiting Area. Dr. Chang comes to check up on me and all the sudden it hits me that this is happening- so she stands next to me while the nurse puts the IV in me- Dr. Chang made me feel comfortable and reassured me that I'm in good hands. Everyone made sure I was ok- I had 6 nurses around me when I woke up from recovery- I guess I was talking a lot mess and entertaining them... But I had two nurses that wouldn't leave my side and were encouraging to take deep breaths so I can be realized... And kept checking my vitals. Dr Chang came in to tell me I'm either going to be a large C or small D, that was music to my ears lol. Heidi, Dr. Chang's practice manager also came to the hospital to check up on me and sit with me as well, she made sure I was comfortable and ready and explained I'm in good hands and she stayed at the hospital until I was good to go home. That to me is service. Everyone at JC Plastic Surgery has been amazing. The first 24 hours so far as been a breeze no pain, just a little sore, came back home and watched movies with my sisters and today I woke up alittle sore- More update when I wake up Updated on 13 Jun 2016: This surgery was easier then I imagined- so far so good, no real pain just a feeling of soreness... I saw the "girls" for the first time and oh my- they look amazing! My surgeon is true artist! I have always had saggy boobs, right now it looks like I have implants.... I know they will drop but wow! I wish I did this years ago... Updated on 15 Jun 2016: Recovery is a breeze- so far so good- I think a lot of this also has to do with the Surgeon's skills- I know every patient heals differently- but after reading lots of reviews and I'm so happy I picked Dr. Chang! Im so happy I did this.. Updated on 23 Jun 2016: Loving them - I have now switched to wearing front zip sport bras.. Very comfortable Updated on 9 Sep 2016: I love them!!! Scars are almost invisible Updated on 10 May 2017: I can't believe its almost year since i had my surgery.... I still love my boobs and I have seen Dr. Chang about 5 or more times for follow up- she is so big on the after care.... Best decision of my life and with an amazing Doctor too...

My breasts have ballooned up from the time I was in fifth grade. I barely remember being a C or D cup. I am now a freshman in college and can no longer bear this burden so my father has agreed to help me get a breast Reduction for my 19th birthday. I will be having my procedure done with Dr. Yeon Jenny Chang of JC Plastic Surgery of Atlanta. Her reviews are amazing and her staff made me feel comfortable and welcome the moment I? stepped into her practice. I also had a referral to her from my former literature teacher in high school who also had a breast reduction by her in October . Hoping for no complications and smooth recovery Updated on 5 Dec 2017: My surgery date is December 19th and honestly now that I’m exactly two weeks away from having my Reduction, I feel like my back and shoulders are in more pain. Getting really anxious and impatient. Also realized just how big these things are compared to my body. Wow. Can’t even imagine myself with normal size boobs but I’m beyond ready and nervous about anesthesia Updated on 6 Dec 2017: Unfortunately I’m paying for this surgery out pocket. My insurance is set not to cover it and my surgeon’s practice doesn’t accept it anyway. There’s been a miscommunication between the office and myself where I was under the impression half of my balance would be paid at the pre operative appointment and the other half to the hospital facility afterwards and in payments. Turns out they’re both due at the pre operative appointment and now I’m unsure I’ll be able to keep my date for December. This will be the second time my date has moved. I was supposed to have it in November. I’ve tried to help my dad raise the money on Gofundme and scraping it together from multiple family members with no luck. I want this more than anything. I’ve been actively in a struggle to make this surgery a reality for three years he missed my senior prom to get it but it didn’t happen. My heart is broken and I’m losing hope. I keep getting closer to just lose again. I have to come up with 2,522 by the 15th or there goes my surgery again and I doubt I can do that. Will keep y’all updated. :(

So I think it is about that time... Since I was 12 years old I have big breast and as I get older my breast are getting bigger and I am having a lot back issues. I have one child after I had my daughter my breast has gone up 2 cup sizes. I am now at 34 DDD well Dr Chang says I am at 32 DDD. I have been fighting with myself about having a breast reduction over the past year. My primary care doctor and my gynecologist both have told me that I will need to have surgery but I have put off because of fear. Well I can't do no longer in the past two months I have purchase 4 new bras. I am having excruciating pain in my back and neck, my bra straps have left indentation in my shoulders and the muscle relaxers, ibuprofen are not working. I have even gone to the chiropractor and it is still not working. So I went back to my PCP Dr. Syrop who referred me to Dr. Chang JC Plastic Surgery of Atlanta. I did research on Dr Chang and her staff and I only heard good reviews and praises about her and her staff and also about excellent work she does on breast reduction. I hear she is a BREAST GURU. I had my first consult today 4/25/17 and when I walk in the door I felt the great energy through out the office. The front desk clerk greeted me with a smile. Dr Chang was so pleasant to speak to. She explain that I will need reduction and lift. I will be going down to a big B small C cup which I think will fit my body size. Ms. Heidi the practice manager is a doll. When talked with each other it was like we known each other for years. She so nice and helpful. She explain how she will submit my chart to my insurance and she will appeal the insurance if it comes back denied. The entire staff was great and friendly. I will highly recommend Dr Chang after seeing her work on realself.com and her before and after pictures in the office I know my boobs are in great hands I can't wait. I will keep every posted once I go. Updated on 4 May 2017: Well I called my doctor's office and spoke with one of Dr. Chang staff and my insurance has yet to send over an authorization for my surgery. I am hoping that everything is finalize by June 9. Crossing fingers Updated on 22 May 2017: I called my insurance today and find out that my surgery has been approve since 5/10. My surgery is set for 6/9/17.... So now all my worries are gone and I can set up my wish look ???????????? Updated on 2 Jun 2017: Had my pre-op visit on 5/30 and everything went well. I had to register with the outpatient clinic for my surgery on June 9. Can't wait to my day Updated on 8 Jun 2017: Big Day Tomorrow...My nerves are running everywhere... I'm anxious, scared, excited, and all. My sisters are here and we are prepare for tomorrow but now I'm so scared bc I don't know what my boobs will look like. I'm ready for the back pain to go away but these big boobs been with for years and I don't know how it well feel to have small boobs. ???????????? pray for everyone... I'll keep everyone posted. ???? Updated on 9 Jun 2017: Hi everyone today I had my surgery... I'm in pain right now but I'll keep everyone posted thanks for all the encouraging words yesterday Updated on 10 Jun 2017: So it's my 1st day post-op and I had so much crazy things happen to me... I had my surgery at 10:15am but I didn't leave the hospital to about 5pm... I was in so much pain that they was going to keep me over night. I had family here so I told the nurses I'll go home biggest mistake should of stayed..Around 9pm I started to notice my right breast started to get warm and swilling. I was having pain in breast around 11pm my right breast was very swollen and I couldn't endure the pain I called Dr Chang after hour line and she responded back quickly. She told me that it was ok and to watch it.. she may have to place drain in the breast on Monday. She ask me to add cold pack of ice and keep watch. By 12:30am I woke up to a sharp pain in my right breast. I went to the bathroom and saw that breast has gotten worst than before. I immediately contact dr Chang who ask me to remove garment and take pictures(I will share) the fluid has moved to my neck and my arm as well. She has now ask me to go the ER for Emergency surgery to place drains in my breast. I rush to Northside Hospital with my sisters and was taken back to prep for the procedure. I was so upset and crying because this is my second surgery within 24hrs. The staff and Dr Chang was so patience and they let me know everything is ok and I am in good hands. When I woke up after the procedure omg the pain was way worst than the surgery I just had at 10:15 that day... On a positive note my breast looks great Updated on 11 Jun 2017: On Saturday was not a good day for me... I was vomiting a lot and had gas which wouldn't pass. Dr Chang and Stephanie did checked up on me to make sure I'm doing well and gave me instruction on how to keep the swollen down. I think the nausea came about because I had anesthesia twice in one day and I had so much medicine in my body from two procedure with in 24hrs.. I have notice since my procedure I can't do drainless procedure because I retain fluid which doesn't come out... I had Lapo back in 2015 in Miami and my PS didn't give me drain when I flew back to Atlanta the next day I have to rush to PS office up here in Atlanta who had to place drains in my area I had lipo in to get the fluid out. So if I ever have any more procedures in the future I will make sure that I let the PS know I need drains to save me any more issues with fluid building up.. I am so happy with new boobs can't wait to the swelling go down. I have my first visit with Dr Chang on 6/15.. keep everyone posted. Updated on 16 Jun 2017: Hey everyone... I made thru the storm of recovery. I went and had my drains removed which is a hurtful procedure omg. My breast are still swollen. The right one is little more swollen then the left. Dr Chang did state it will go down and if the swelling goes down and my right boob is still bigger than my left she will fix it... I'm crossing my fingers that everything comes out right. Dr Chang is a good doctor I just had a bad few days after surgery.
