QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Is there a difference in scarring when getting a transaxillary or a inframmary incision?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I do not think there s any more risk /discomfort with armpit incision and you have a real benefit of not having ugly scar on you breasts, For me it is a no brainer why to have ugly scar (yes it will be there no matter what they say) to show on your underboob if you can have none.... I think a lot of surgeons are against transaxillary breast augmentation because they do not feel comfortable performing it or they even never tried or got train in performing it. I learned how to safely and successfully perform this type of breast augmentation over 25 years ago. Since then I augmented many thousands of breasts this way and this is my experience: it is my preferred way to do it (for a right candidate) my main reason is: why mutilate perfect beautiful woman's body if you can avoid it? And there is really no downside, it is not true that are more complications, problems or capsular contractures than with any other way to do it. If surgeon is skilled and knows how to perform axillary breast augmentation results are very predictable. I would not be repeating this procedure for over 25 years if it would be causing problems. It would be insane since I sometimes have 10 patients /week and would ha to deal with a lot of unhappy women... And do not trust surgeons who tell you under the breast incision is great. Frequently, they are quite visible, stretched, dark, keloidal and quite annoying. Especially in small breasts that have no folds make these scars impossible to hide. Last time I performed inframammary incision is over 20 years ago. There is no need for that. Armpit incisions ALWAYS heal great, and they are either invisible or look like a wrinkle in your armpit. And in my experience problems that people are describing are if anything less common that with other approaches.

Excessive sweating after transaxillary BA

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I have been performing axillary breast augmentations for over 25 years And never heard about this problem. It is most likely not related since if anything you probably lose some sweat glands (good thing)

Exceptional Surgeon, Incredible Results

Dr. Turowski is a true artist. I was initially nervous about having surgery, but he made the entire process so much more comfortable than I ever expected. His team of nurses and staff were incredible—attentive, kind, and reassuring every step of the way. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole experience. I couldn’t be happier with my results from mastopexy, breast augmentation, and brachioplasty.

I Have my Health Back and Am Happy with my Experience with Dr. Sood

It’s been a little over a year since Dr. Sood performed my explant. I have been happy with my results. I can honestly recommend him to others. He is professional, very humble and truly cares about the experience of his patients. He also really cares that we are happy with our results. The fact that he has an advocate was probably one of the most important pieces along with having an actual before and after gallery. I don’t think you can go wrong with Dr Sood. I have my health back and don’t regret traveling multiple states to use him.

Dr.Sood Truly Listened when No One else Would

I was suffering with symptoms of breast implant illness for a few years when I met Dr.Sood in December of 2023. Years prior, I’d met with doctor who placed the implants in California and he suggested that my symptoms were all in my head and unrelated to BII, stating it was rare to have a negative reaction to breast implant illness! -Please know if you’ve received the same info, it’s false! This epidemic isn’t rare, it’s more common than the medical industry will admit. Not only is it important to find a surgeon who’s a true expert in the field of BII and Explant/enbloc/capsulectomy surgery, it’s important to find a “Team” who you’re comfortable with and who genuinely listens and see’s you, and who is a perfectionist and wants to help you feel better! Dr.Sood is that and more! Through extensive research on Explant Specialists and Breast Implant Illness Specialists (BII), I was led to Dr.Sood amongst others across the U.S., and including a doctor in my local town of AZ. After various consultations with a handful of well-known Doctors who I wasn’t impressed by, I met with Dr.Sood and his team and I knew right away that I was in the right place. His expertise and honestly speaks volumes. There was no sugar coating, no overpromising or upselling. He was honest, truthful, and direct, able to answer questions I had that day and continuing through the journey up to and after my surgery. Within a few months I was able to get in to have the surgery to remove 13 year old implants that were destroying my life from the inside out. I received a full breast lift as well as the breast implant removal and capsulectomy where the entire capsule is removed from the body, ribs, and wherever else it may attach to. Dr.Sood had incredible bedside manners and the entire team he works with offered me support and care above and beyond what I could have imagined. I traveled from out of state which could have been a difficult feat but Dr.Sood was extremely accommodating and everything happened with ease and flow. Ultimately my results were beyond impressive- both aesthetically and physically. A handful of the major BII symptoms I’d been experiencing completely disappeared within the first day and week of my recover. Its been a little over a year now since my surgery and my real breasts are beautiful and my scars are healed and beautiful, telling the story of the feat of my journey. I couldn’t be happier with Dr.Sood’s surgical work and the confidence and reassurance he gave me throughout the process. He’s an amazing Doctor and human being! Thank you Dr.Sood for changing my life for the better.

Dr. Sood is an Excellent Doctor and Medical Professional

Dr Sood and his staff did excellent work on my wife. The whole experience was one of the best that we have had in the medical field. His expertise, talent and bedside manner were outstanding. My wife worked as a nurse for years as a Surgical nurse and she has her BSN in nursing. We would highly recommend Dr Sood.

Dr. Sood quite literally saved my life. His skill, compassion, and dedication is unmatched. I’ll be forever grateful for his care and the kindness he showed me during one of the most difficult times in my life. On top of that I have the best results after my explant. A win is a win! I couldn’t thank him & Laura enough. Forever grateful. If you want a Doctor who is actually going to care for you, I would 100% recommend Dr.Sood.

Results Beyond my Expectations

One year ago I traveled from Texas for my explant surgery with Dr. Sood. He had recently performed explant surgery on one of my friends who referred me to him as I was also struggling with BII. Dr. Sood is a talented caring surgeon and my results are beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him.

Liposuction

Lipo & J-plasma on Calves

I’ll give you the TLDR version first: I’m so happy I had lipo on my calves. They look so much leaner, and I no longer have a bulge of shaking fat when I walk. As I’m in my late 50s, I had J-plasma as well. It’s harder for me to tell if that worked fully; I do have a little laxity, but the leaner look of my calves far outweighs any slight laxity. I highly recommend Dr. Turowski for his work. I’ve had two procedures done by him, and I’m extremely happy with both. Full review: A few years ago, my calves - which used to never be an issue for me - started to really bother me. There was a bulky bulge of fat on the inner upper part of my calves that shook when I walked. Made me so self-conscious. I started investigating lipo for calves but learned that not all doctors recommend it. More worrisome to me was the fact that I’m in my late 50s, and I wasn’t sure if any of my skin would snap back after the lipo. I decided to schedule a consult with Dr. Turowski because he had done my lip lift and I was very happy with those results. He was very honest and realistic about the lipo procedure, outlining risks. He told me that he recommended adding J-plasma to help with skin tightening. I was able to talk with one of his patients who had the lipo/j-plasma done on her calves. That was very helpful in my decision. I’m not gonna lie - the recovery was intense, especially the first week. I still have some residual numbness, but the nerves have been slowly coming back each week. I also have some discoloration on the backs of my calves, but that too seems to be slowly improving. It is SO great that there are no bulges of fat shaking when I walk. And I love the new leaner look of my calves. A bonus is being able to better fit into fashionable boots. Hope this review helps others who are considering this procedure.

Breast Augmentation

Exceptional Experience with Dr. Turowski – Twice!

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Turowski and his team! He performed my first breast augmentation back in 2005, and the results were absolutely amazing. Twenty years later, in 2025, I returned to him for new implants, and once again, I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Turowski is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and attentive. He takes the time to ensure the best possible outcome, and his expertise truly shows in his work. The entire staff was also fantastic—professional, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Turowski to anyone considering breast augmentation or any cosmetic procedure. His experience and dedication to his patients make all the difference!
