Update: Please read if considering this dr....

Please read!! This update is super important.
Although I am happy with the shape of my breast, I’m starting to regret going to this Dr.
First- I’ve been staring to think a full breast lift was unnecessary. Before my surgery I was never told what type of breast lift I would be getting except that it would be a “small nipple lift” so I guess it’s my fault for not asking more questions.
I assumed that meant a donut lift and I ended up with anchor lift scars.
Second- My post op appointments have been OK, I don’t really have time to ask the dr questions or get thorough answers from him because he quickly leaves the room.
But!! Today’s post op is why I’m updating my review.
So not sure if I’m being sensitive, but today at my post op I felt sort of insulted. The plan was that the dr was going to take “after” pics but I still have spitting sutures.
So anyways while I’m topless he pats my stomach and makes a joke? I think? Asking me “what’s going on?” and that “I need to get a ‘sugar daddy’” lol umm okay? I didn’t even say anything that would give him a reason to give me that response. I definitely don’t need a sugar daddy so I don’t know why he’s making those assumptions. I’ll let you guys be the judge. But yeah I guess he was trying to say I need a tummy tuck.
Then he just leaves the room like always, not asking me if I have any questions or concerns. Which I do. I tried to ask him about the redness but he gives me short answers simply saying that I just need to keep applying Silagen.
So then, James, the surgery assistant (I think?) comes in to remove some stitches. He’s been really nice so I’m surprised by his comment today. I still have some stitches under the skin and I ask him how I need to massage them to make them go away. And he asks me if I have a boyfriend and I say no, so he tells me I need to get one to massage them for me.
To me... these jokes were very inappropriate and honestly I will not be returning. I recently moved an hour away (they’re aware) and this is how my visits have been going each time with this visit being the last straw...
Needless to say I will be looking elsewhere for a second opinion and possible scar revision if things don’t improve within the next couple months.
My scars look terrible to be honest, dr. doesn’t seem to have an explanation for the redness around my scars and can’t even sit down 2 minutes to address my concerns. Ridiculous. I truly learned my lesson and I’m writing this review so that others don’t have to go what I’m going through. Please message me if you want any more information.
I really wanted to be happy with my review. I spent a lot of money on this surgery and my issues were always a huge insecurity. It’s a shame that I did not listen to my intuition. Dr was honestly unprofessional and rude from the get go.

Feeling really happy

Everything is turning out real good, can’t wait for the scars to heel

Feeling great!

My recovery has gone so smoothly, especially after the second week. I’m in love with my new boobs and yeah Dr Mowlavi is an artist. I am so glad I trusted him with this surgery, he truly exceeded my expectations. My breasts are healing nicely, getting softer day by day. I can’t wait to see their final look.
