Dr. Michael Bruck; Doctor's Plastic Surgery LIC , Breast Augmentation - New York, NY

Before and After

I am 9 days post op and I am recovering quite well. I have been wanting this procedure since I was 15 years old. 17 years later I finally made it happen. Since I live in Queens it was easy to get to Doctors Plastic Surgery in Astoria. I saw the ads on the subway cars and said, "why not?". So I scheduled my first consultation back in May 2016. I met with Dr. Bruck for the first time. During the consultation I was asked what my goals and expectations were, also if I had any photos to use as an example. I was a 34AA, 130 lbs 5'4" athletic build. I told Dr. Bruck that I am an active person and that I wanted to achieve a 34DD size. He looked at me and without hesitation said, "That's very unlikely" . First of all I didn't have enough skin to cover that implant size and i had to consider the implant sub pectoral with the possibility to moving fat from my back to the top of my breasts since I was very active. I then thought about breast feeding and how I was certain I wanted the implant to go under my muscle. I had to reschedule another meeting and I did. I came back 3 months after. I decided to go with Dr. Bruck because I felt he was the most trustworthy, seasoned, and honest surgeon. I did see 2 others and I had a pleasant experience with the receptionists, nurses and coordinator Chelsey over at Doctors Plastic Surger. I valued their customer service and professionalism. The facilities were very clean and only a 7 minute drive from my apartment.
I saw Dr. Bruck for my pre op and he decided that 350cc MP Mentor Smooth Round was the best choice. I knew that the 400cc - 425cc fantasy wasn't going to be the best choice so I parted ways with it. I became comfortable with the end result of my BA sizing to a 32D or 34C. It meant that I would have just enough projection and volume without overcompensating. I was ready.
At my pre-op appointment I was given my scar gel ointment, surgical bra and helpful and informative literature about my procedure.
The day of my surgery I reported to the site at 9:30AM. The night before I stopped eating and drinking at 10PM. My nerves were so shot I didn't even think about hunger or thirst but it's obviously for ones safety when going under general anesthesia. When I checked in I changed into my hospital gown and the friendly, smiley nurse took my vitals. I had a chat with the anesthesiologist and felt comfy with him. Finally, Dr Bruck came into talk more about what he was doing one last time. I was put at ease 100%. When I walked into the operating room I knew there was no turning back.
When I woke up I remembered feeling like I got punched in my chest. I was so sore and swollen but very groggy from the morphine that was given to me at the time of surgery. Thank goodness for that. I also wasn't as nauseous but I knew I was dehydrated. I got my instructions for my prescriptions and was rolled away to the uber. The next day Dr. Bruck saw everything was ok but I felt so winded. I followed my medication regimen and by day 6 stopped. All I have been doing has been absolutely nothing. The most was to take 15-20 minute walks outside a day and it has been great.
Dr. Bruck is the one to thank really. I recommend him to any woman who wants to undergo plastic surgery. He's very straightforward. I trust him and everyone at Doctors Plastic Surgery. My experience from a scale of 1-10, 10 being the greatest it would be a perfect 10.
I love my breasts and i know they are perfect.
