WORTH IT$13,001
wanted a lift and reduction . After 2 kids and aging , my breasts were non symentrical, saggy and just too large for my frame and they just look like sad bobs. Before kids I was 100 lbs and 34DD after the kids my breast became really large 34F and then eventually settle to 34DDD 130lbs! I became very self conscious of my breasts and I wasn't happy with them. I came to DR.J and he was amazing ! I was very indecisive at first it took about a year to finally make up my mind. I love Dr. J , he was very attentive and say with me before the surgery date and discussed all the treatment plan And his ideas. On the day of the surgery , he was so nice and attentive to all my questions. I didn't see him for my post op which as been a bummer ! He was in surgery so his staff saw my stitches and cleaned them. I returned 5 days after my surgery and again he couldn't see me.

After a long research and a lot of thought into this procedure,I went ahead and got the procedure done on June 26,2016 by Dr J. He was amazing and made me feel comfortable on the day of my surgery everyone was great! But after my procedure was done seeing doctor J will never happen. I had no follow up with him only his staff. So when I notice something happening to my left breast, I called but the told me there was no available appointment to see Dr J. After a few weeks and I self diagnose with capsule contraction, I was able to book an appointment with him at his new office but I had to pay a consultation fee !! Weird because I had a procedure done by him 6 weeks earlier. So I went ahead and pay the consultation fee which was $250 or something . I saw him and he confirm what I had self diagnose. He said I had to get it redone and he said he wouldn’t charge me for his work just the anesthesia and surgery room some how the price was $7,000. I was upset because if I would of been able to see him for the follow up the day after or the week after surgery. He's amazing and very real Wants you to be realistic and happy He sat with me and discussed my options My pro and cons and never did I feel he was hiding anything from me. Dr J is really nice and attentive . Realistic and answered all my questions. The anesthesiologist I had a few cuts and bruises around my mouth after surgery. Feel like maybe he could've a little more cautious. I been to two post op apt and I haven't been able to see Dr. J, he's in surgery so his staff have been just cleaning my stitches I wish he can see me for my post op It's too early to tell but I'm sure he did an amazing job I'm happy with Dr J The anesthesiologist not so much my lips have cuts and bruises and my face is a bit swollen not something he ever mentioned Also I felt like I could've been in recovery just a bit longer But rather then that I will recommend DR J He got a new office and staff next month so maybe the staff will be better

I would like to know how are you now? I had the same procedure and have been very unhappy with it!

You look great! Would you mind posting a photo of the scars now that more time has passed? No pressure if you're not comfortable with that though! Thinking of going with Dr J :)

So even though I loved Dr J.
There was so many things that went wrong after surgery I never had a follow up with him only his staff, which they fail to detect the fact that my left breast had capsule contraction!
My breast became hard and it set higher on my chest
I lived with it for 2 year or so before I decide to go under the knife again
Doctor J eventually saw me but charge me a be consultation fee! Odd because I had my first surgery with him. So I paid the fee and saw him
He had confirm what I have self diagnose myself. Offer to fix it and it will only cost me $8,000. I was upset and annoyed that I had to pay such a big amount all over again. Decided not to use him.
I just had surgery with Dr. J, I am only two weeks postop, but I am really not happy because it looks like one of my breast has a double bubble and they’re uneven. Can I ask who you ended up going with for your revision and if you were happyI just had surgery with Dr. J, I am only two weeks postop, but I am really not happy because it looks like one of my breast has a double bubble and they’re uneven. Can I ask who you ended up going with for your revision and if you were happy. ?.

What made u go with 445cc instead of the 300cc
The doctor recommended to do 375cc and I wanted to be smaller but the day of the surgery I had a change of heart, I wanted to be smaller but not to dramatic so the doctor and I agreed on a full C small D, my natural breast size was 34DDD.
