Could Have Been Much Better

I recently underwent a procedure performed by Dr. James Nachbar, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I initially approached him with some apprehension, seeking a revision to a previous procedure done by someone else. Dr. Nachbar not only met but exceeded the challenge, correcting the previous work while also enhancing my appearance.

Dr. Nachbar is not just a highly skilled surgeon; he is a true artist in his field. His utilization of the latest technological advancements ensures precise assessments and meticulous planning for each procedure, resulting in outcomes that surpassed my expectations.

What truly sets Dr. Nachbar and his team apart is their genuine warmth and care for their patients. Dr. Nachbar himself is one of the nicest individuals you could meet, and from the initial consultation to post-operative care, he and his team made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. Their attention to detail and willingness to address my concerns made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

Thanks to Dr. Nachbar's expertise and dedication, I now feel more confident and radiant than ever before. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. James Nachbar to anyone considering cosmetic enhancement. He is not just a surgeon; he is a compassionate partner in achieving your aesthetic goals.

I came to Dr. James Nachbar for breast implant revision surgery with
high hopes after a previous procedure. While the size adjustment was
achieved, I have been left with noticeable asymmetry, including
misaligned nipples, uneven pocket sizes, and a lack of overall balance
and sculpted shape. One breast appears tighter and well-contoured, while
the other looks softer, less defined, and droopy, with excess laxity
that creates an unbalanced and uneven appearance. These issues are
especially apparent when wearing thinner bras or fitted clothing, where
the misaligned nipples and asymmetry stand out.

I raised these concerns during my initial consultation, particularly
about pocket size, laxity, and the possibility of needing a lift. Dr.
Nachbar assured me that none of these would be an issue. Now, despite
spending $13,000 on the procedure, I am being asked to pay an additional
$4,000 for a revision surgery that is estimated to take less than an
hour. However, even with the proposed revision, my concerns about pocket
size, skin laxity, and overall contour are still not being addressed in
his plan. This leaves me uncertain that the recommended solution will
resolve the core issues.

When I’ve expressed dissatisfaction, I’ve been met with defensiveness
and dismissiveness, which has left me feeling undervalued as a patient. A
good surgeon-patient relationship should be built on trust, respect,
and open communication, and unfortunately, I’ve not felt that has been
the case here.

I understand that perfect symmetry can’t always be achieved and that
surgical outcomes can vary. However, after investing so much time,
money, and trust in this process, I expected a more thoughtful and
collaborative approach to resolving my concerns, as well as greater
transparency about revision policies and costs.

If you are considering Dr. Nachbar, I recommend being very clear about
your expectations, voicing all concerns upfront, and asking detailed
questions about revision policies before committing. While Dr. Nachbar
has expertise in certain areas, my personal experience has left me
feeling disappointed and hesitant to move forward with additional work.

Additionally, I referred three potential patients to Dr. Nachbar, one of
whom spent $30,000 on services. Given my loyalty and the referrals I’ve
provided, I would have appreciated a more accommodating approach, such
as considering a breast correction as a professional courtesy.
