  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My whole adult life I have wanted to get a Breast...

My whole adult life I have wanted to get a Breast Reduction. I was never happy with the way I looked and it was impossible to buy bras that were comfortable and swimsuits that fit. For the last 4 years I have worked hard to lose weight and become healthier. I have lost 90 pounds and feel a lot better about myself but no matter how much I lost I still had a large cup size (G,H). While I lost inches around my cup size was still huge and it made it even more difficult to find bras and swimsuits that fit. In addition to all of that I had back and neck pain that physical therapy and exercise were not helping. My back would still occasionally spasm. My primary care physician suggested that a breast reduction would help me and recommended that I meet with Dr. Samuel Lin. I told both Dr. Lin and my primary care doctor that I would only have the procedure if it was deemed medically necessary and covered by insurance, which it was. I thought about it a lot and I am totally happy to have made the decision to have the surgery. The recovery was not too difficult for me. Other than the first day I was able to manage the pain with Extra Strength Tylenol. After 2 weeks I was able to shop for a bra and my cup size had gone down to a D, which is perfect for my frame. When I went bathing suit shopping it was a very emotional experience for me. It was the first time in my adult life that I had too many suits that fit and I had to decide which ones I was going to buy. I am now enjoying my summer with 3 great bathing suits that I feel great in. I am back to being able to go to the gym and my back and neck feel good.

Dr. Lin and his staff were great to work with. He explained everything about the procedure to me and made it clear that he would be happy to answer any questions that I may have. When I called the office I would usually get an answer to my questions right away or they would get back to me very quickly with answers or send me E-mails as needed. On the day of my surgery I was actually taken 2 hours early and my husband was able to stay with me until they took me in for the procedure. My husband was very impressed with Dr. Lin and that made him feel less anxious while he waited for me to get out of surgery. When I was preparing for the surgery I read these reviews and it really helped me so if you are reading this I hope that it helps you and that you have as good an experience as I did
