WORTH IT
I will admit, I was very hesitant to see a male doctor about my reconstruction. I almost didn't go for my consultation. But after meeting with Dr. Schwartz, I knew he was the one! He is very educated, compassionate, easy to talk to and explains things until you understand.
I was scheduled for a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy due to my high risk of breast cancer. I wanted natural results for my young age and small framed body. Dr. Schwartz had exactly the same vision!
Not only is he amazing, but the entire staff is so helpful and available. I feel so lucky to have this team.
Thank you to Dr. Schwartz, Chelsea, Esther, Yesenia and Celia for making this the best possible experience!
I love my new foobs! They are perfect!!! I was able to get implants placed at the time of my mastectomy- direct to implant. Thankfully no tissue expanders, and no second surgery.

Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey - you look beautiful. How was your recovery? What size implants did you get?
I think I got 250cc teardrop gummies. They are perfect for me!

They do look perfect - very natural indeed.
Hi, I am an BRCA positive patient who will also go though prophylactic bilateral mastectomy / reconstructive surgery. Can you tell me what type of implant you got?
