EXPLANT & AESTHETIC FLAT CLOSURE

Dr. Swistun is truly a shining star in the medical world, a beacon of hope and healing that I am incredibly grateful to have crossed paths with.

His passion for his work is evident in every interaction, and his genuine care for his patients is heartwarming. Dr. Swistun possesses a unique blend of surgical mastery, expertise, and specialized knowledge, particularly in the complex realm of Breast Implant Illness and beyond. Yet, what truly sets him apart is his exceptional ability to connect with his patients on a deeply personal level, creating an atmosphere of trust, empowerment, and genuine partnership.

Back in 2018, I underwent an elective bilateral mastectomy (under a different surgeon) due to the presence of BRCA2. Despite my own instincts, I was persuaded to incorporate breast implants into my reconstructive journey, a choice that ushered in an array of distressing symptoms from the very outset. My daily reality was marked by severe brain fog, unrelenting upper back and neck pain, debilitating headaches, systemic inflammation, gut issues that left me incapacitated, ceaseless joint pain, numbness in my arm, a perplexing rash that sprawled across my arms, legs, and chest, coupled with facial lesions, a disconcerting haze clouding my vision, and the weight of anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue.

My quest for answers led me through an unending cycle of doctor's appointments, tests, and consultations with specialists, only to hit a brick wall of frustration. The medical community struggled to discern the pattern, and I found myself mired in a disheartening loop of hopelessness and exhaustion.

And then came Dr. Swistun, a guiding light in the midst of darkness. The moment I met him and his exceptional team, a renewed sense of hope and profound relief washed over me. His warmth, empathy, and genuine care stood in stark contrast to the dismissive treatment I had endured from previous consultations with renowned doctors across the country. Dr. Swistun not only validated my experiences but also bestowed upon me knowledge and choices, infusing me with a sense of agency and direction.

Throughout the consultation process, Dr. Swistun's dedication to educating and guiding me was nothing short of inspiring. He led me through each potential procedure, taking the time to unravel every query and fortifying me as I made an informed choice. Given my intricate medical history, I opted for an Aesthetic Flat Closure and nipple removal. Dr. Swistun's lucid explanations and unwavering confidence in his approach comforted me, as I knew I was entrusted to capable hands.

The surgery was an unequivocal triumph, a testament to Dr. Swistun's meticulous skill and unyielding dedication to his craft. The seamless en-bloc retrieval of the capsules and implants resulted in a visually stunning transformation that far exceeded all expectations. A friend after seeing his work said - he is a sculptural genius!

Upon awakening, I was enveloped in an overwhelming sense of relief, and the minimal pain and bruising I experienced stood as a testament to his mastery.

In the ensuing days and weeks post-surgery, an astonishing metamorphosis unfolded. The once-debilitating symptoms dissipated, replaced by a revived sense of vitality and overall well-being.

In every sense, Dr. Swistun is an absolute star. His commitment to his patients, surgical virtuosity, and exceptional capacity to connect and educate are unparalleled. If you find yourself in search of a compassionate, astute, and accomplished surgeon who will steadfastly stand by your side at every step of the journey, I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Dr. Swistun. ??My gratitude knows no bounds, and I proudly give him and his stellar team a resounding 5-stars for their exceptional work.
