I have always had sagging breasts, even as a young woman. As I got older, I gained some weight - much of it in the breasts. Nothing enviable about it - I looked matronly and wanted to wear flattering clothes. Dr. Bruce Landon did a terrific job of giving me realistic expectations and the procedure went smoothly. It is a rather gruesome surgery - I almost fainted at the sight of my nipples almost cut off - and I did not heal at the rate the patient care person indicated I might, but overall I am very satisfied with the procedure and the doctor. Updated on 4 May 2023: I'm in my early 60s and have never - even as a young eoman- been able to pass the pencil test. My breasts have always been saggy. Basically, I got tired of feeling top-heavy and matronly with my 36 DD, not being able to wear plunging neckline clothes without looking like Dolly Parton, and tired of wearing bras with bands that cut me in two. I am a small C now, and I ove it. The only issue with this surgery is it is gruesome, with nipples being almost cut off and sewn back on in a higher position and, in my case, going from the diameter of a soda can to a half-dollar. Seeing them stitched back on made me queasy, but I took all precautions, am healing well, and definitely recommend Dr. Landon. His patient coorinator told me I could probably drive within a few days and have other plastic surgeries II want just a few days later, but that was not the case for me. It took me a week to be able to dress myself, two weeks to drive, and four weeks to be able to lift items off high shelves. Perhaps it depends on one's age. You have to pretend as if your arms are nonfunctioning for the first few weeks in my experience. All in all, great doctor and definitely worth it.
2 friends referred me to Dr. Landon. I scheduled my consult with Jennifer. The office was nice and clean. The receptionist was very friendly. Dr Landon was professional and listen to my concerns. He gave me his professional opinion and I was scared of what he had to say but I ultimately trusted him and told him to go with that he thought would be best. On the day of surgery I was terrified but the staff really made me feel comfortable through the process of getting put to sleep. After my surgery I woke up to the OR nurse in my room. She helped me on a wheel chair and wheeled me out to the car. Carmen (pre-op nurse) assured me that my recovery pain would be minimal to none thanks to Dr. Landon’s gentle hand during surgery. She was absolutely right! I took pain killers the day of surgery and the day after. After that I barely needed Tylenol. My breasts are healing beautifully and I’m so happy I told Dr. Landon to go for the larger size he suggested. I’m positive I wouldn’t have been satisfied had I gone any smaller.
