WORTH IT
My original surgery was September of 2016; it was a horrible experience, I felt my surgeon couldn't understand what I was saying or feeling. Looking back, I know he didn't care, so he did what he wanted. I was a DD up. He assured me I would be a D when surgery was completed, however that didn't happen. I couldn't fill a C cup and the shape didn't match what I was originally. After a couple complications and a couple more surgeries I was left with total frustration! The more he worked on me the worse I looked. And the pains never subsided. He told me to learn to live with it.
At my checkup with my primary doctor in 2018 I asked for a referral to someone else in another area.
And that's when I met Dr Michael Carlisle!!
I cannot say enough kind things about him or express the gratitude I feel towards him. He is SO caring, he listens, let's me ask questions, he's kind, funny and very professional. We were on the same page instantly.
I had the wrong shape implants, (they were on a recall list) they had both fallen causing pain-- especially the right side because it was sideways.
Dr Carlisle had his hands full just repairing the damage and replacing the implants. I expected a lot of pain through the healing process but he had me covered. It was wonderful-- even with the drains in place. I was able to heal and move forward with my recovery-- which was new because of all the pain I had with previous surgeries.
I look like I used to before my original surgery. I am beyond pleased! My breasts are where they belong and I'm a D cup which makes me feel better about the whole experience. I just wish I could have had Dr Carlisle from the beginning.
Rest assured that he truly cares for his patients. You will not be disappointed. He understood how I felt from the initial consult and never veered from that path of treatment that we set together.
I am blessed beyond measure to have had this man repair all my damages, yet have me looking so great and lifting my self esteem.
Thank you, Dr Carlisle! I can't sing your praises enough, but I have shared and will continue to share my story with many people!
