I Am a Cosmetic Surgeon and I Recommend Him

I am a 51-year-old cosmetic surgery. I spend all of my professional time making people, the large majority of which are women, look and feel better about themselves by working with their skin and soft tissue and creating artistic change that brings about a positive visual outcome. Some surgeries are easier to execute than others. When it came time for me to bite the bullet and take matters into my own hands to improve my own self-confidence by getting a breast lift with augmentation, I had a number of different consultations. I consulted with surgeons as far away as Virginia and Oklahoma, but also more local surgeons. It’s not uncommon for the surgeon I am having a consultation with to freak out a little bit once they realize what I do for a living, because they realize I know what I’m talking about, I can see through their facade, and I can judge them more accurately than an average patient can. Out of all the consultations I had, my consultation with Dr. Amspacher was the best. Even before he knew that I was a surgeon, he reached out to me and communicated with me by email to clarify any questions I might have even before the day of my consultation. That is just unheard of. What inspired me to set up a consultation was that the before-and-afters I saw in RealSelf showed me evidence of good work (and mastopexies are very difficult to do WELL), and his reviews were good. That was enough to lead me to set up the consultation. On the day of the consultation, I encountered a surgeon who was completely unfazed when he found out what I did for a living, which showed me that his internal confidence was very high. He didn’t miss a beat. Explanations of what was important for me to know flew off the tip of his tongue like he had said it all a million times. I asked to review more before and after photos, and he shared them with me. And based on my experience, I could see evidence of a surgeon who was perfectionistic and artistic and competent. We talked about body issues other than my breasts, and he never tried to sell me on anything that wasn’t critical, something that I greatly respect. I could tell in the consultation that this was a man with integrity, with kindness, with a good bedside manner, and with good artistic judgment. After he left, I confronted his nurse and said “Dr. Amspacher is a good doctor, isn’t he?” His nurse, Robyn, smiled and responded to me by saying that he was the reason she chose to stay, because it was so good to work with him, and she had worked with him for five years. That is a very good sign! The remarkable thing is that his fees were substantially less than everybody else I consulted with. So I paid less, but that is absolutely not the reason I chose to go with him. That was just an added bonus!

It has now been five months since I had sub-pectoral 415cc silicone implants at the same time as a mastopexy. (My current size is a full 34dd) I cannot be happier with my outcome. My breast wounds healed without a single complication. My result is very symmetric. My nipples and areolas are exactly the same level and perfectly round and let me tell you from experience that that is extremely difficult to do WELL. My scars are of exceptional quality. My result looks natural. He frankly did a perfect job.

Since my surgery, I have referred a number of my own patients to him for things that I do not perform.

I cannot recommend him highly enough. You could go to him with full confidence for breast augmentation, breast reduction, mastopexy, mastopexy with augmentation, tummy tuck, body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, you name it. And if he’s good with all of that, he’s obviously going to be good with anything reconstructive. And it should go without saying that my review ought to carry a LOT of weight.
