Gentle Approach, Gorgeous Results—because You Deserve the Best!!

WORTH IT
**I want to preface this review because I am only a week out, and will update as I see fit.

Wow! Where do I begin- this experience was amazing. I've had Dr. B on my radar for quite some time, I believe I made my initial consult phone call in July 2023. I wasn't at a place where I could go through with the surgery then, but always kept it in mind. Finally, I had everything in place by December 2024 had my consult, and was in the OR by 2/4/25! For some context, I am a perfectionist. I am a bit neurotic. I'm anxious. And I'm my own biggest critic, especially when it comes to my body. I also happen to work as an RN in aesthetic medicine so I know that those qualities can make me a nightmare patient (LOL). All that being said, my standards were high for myself and the care I received. When it comes to the way I look, I will never half-ass something. You either go to the best or you don't do it at all.
I knew Dr. B was the best for this procedure. I scoured Reddit, RealSelf, old blogs, and Google for hours. I knew implants weren't the right choice for me and had heard that fat transfer is hard to get right. However, if you're reading this and considering Dr. B, he is WELL WORTH THE TRIP. Your body is NOT something you should skimp on! He truly will deliver you your dream breasts.

To give you an idea of what my experience was like, I arrived in Charlotte and had some trouble getting to the office (through no fault of their own, I tried the city bus which I cannot emphasize enough you should not do haha). But the second I walked into the relaxing atmosphere of the greenhouse like medical offices, I felt at peace. As I mentioned, I am anxious. However, never at any point did any of the staff make me feel silly for my feelings. I only felt reassured and like I was making the right choice on a dilemma I had mulled over for YEARS at this point (as I'm sure you also have, reader!). The pre-op consisted of meeting the team, taking photos with their 3D rendering device, and getting marked up. You're then sent to Walgreens (a shuttle can take you!) to pick up your meds. The next day, you're operated on and you return to your hotel.

I am pretty slim. I had women in my life as if they'd even be able to get fat off my body to do the procedure (haha) but we were able to get 550cc a breast! So I was stoked. We even added a bit to my butt to shape it a little :) just that extra added Dr. B touch means so much.

The entire process was easy, never rushed, and always reassuring. The next day, I burst into tears upon seeing my breasts. Not out of regret or anger or shock, but the intense emotion of seeing that I REALLY HAD gone through with it was extremely emotional. The nurses were beyond sweet and reassuring. I was instantly in love with the results, the incisions are TEENSY and I'm sure between silicone scar patches and an eventual fractional laser, will be invisible. The bruising has been quite tough but they are fully transparent about that and it's an expected result of lipo. Arnica, water, and giving yourself some grace :).

I cannot recommend Dr. B and his team enough. The standard they hold themselves to is extremely high. You deserve the best. I am so happy with my breasts, I feel like I have my dream body, which is massive for someone who's struggled with body image for years. I know this is a bit rambling but I tried to include everything that I would have wanted to hear pre-op / or if I was on the fence :)

Hi! I'm wanting this done too, but I too am pretty slim. Also, I took have been researching and am nervous. May I ask your height and weight? Do you mind sharing pics?
