Refined Skill and Professionalism
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Edelstein in June 2021.
My experience was uncomplicated and I was delighted with my results. The consultation was thorough and informative, I had my measurements taken and was provided with three different implant options based on my frame. I tried the implants on and decided to go with the largest option. Dr. Edelstein explained that I do have slight asymmetry and that different-sized implants in each breast would be able to correct this, I opted to have the same size implants as there was a tiny difference between each side. He also explained there may be a degree of stretch marks that appear since the skin is stretched quickly. This and scarring were two of my largest concerns. Initially, I wanted to have a transaxillary incision to further disguise the surgical scar, although Dr. Edelstein recommended the inframammary incision. I decided to follow his recommendation, and I am glad I did. The nurse was lovely and professional in documenting my pre-op appointments.
Immediately after the procedure, I was handled with great care and compassion. On a scale of 0-10 I would say my recovery experience was an 8. I did not expect the recovery to be as intense as it was, It was difficult to rest and sleep at an elevation, the pain was intense at times, I was very irritable due to the pain medication, and I found it time-consuming to constantly visit the hair salon to have my hair washed as I could not lift my arms above my elbow level to wash my hair myself. This was the only difficulty I encountered during my recovery period. I wore the post-surgery bra every day for the first year, and I still wear a medium-support sports bra to bed each night. I used the silicone scar gel and scar sheets for the first year to reduce the appearance of the surgical scar. I do not have any pigmented scarring, there is just a very faint line where the incision was made, which I am personally happy with. I also used the iS Clinical sheald recovery balm on the incision as a body lotion (before applying the scar gel then scar sheet on top) and Josie Maran argan oil and whipped argan oil body butter on my breasts to prevent stretch marks, which I am so relieved I did not develop!
I appreciated the attention to detail at each follow-up appointment, I was very satisfied with my results at the one-year mark.
I am now writing this review after almost 3.5 years and I am glad to say I am still as happy as I was at the one-year mark.
I started as a 32AA and transitioned to a 32C. I am 5'3, 115 lbs, and of East Asian descent. I received the Allergan Inspira SRF 265cc high-profile cohesive silicone implants, placed under the muscle via an inframammary incision. (Which I now appreciate as I could not lift my arms above my elbow during the first 1-2 months of my recovery, so if I had a transaxillary incision I would not have been able to properly care for the incision and prevent scarring.)
Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Edelstein Cosmetic and Dr. Edelstein is a skilled plastic surgeon who I have recommended to many of my friends.
