Lost 100lbs and Breasts Need Some Major Improvement

WORTH IT
This will be an ongoing review with an updated along the journey. After a long weight loss journey and having lost 100lbs, I am finally ready to complete my journey and get a breast lift with implants.

I've had 5 other consults and I've decided to go with Dr. Joe.

First...my sister had a breast aug (no lift) with Dr. Joe and her boobs are so beautiful. I had to meet with Dr. Joe through a virtual consult due to COVID-19 and he was amazing. I can tell his bedside manner is exactly what I need in my doctor. My surgery is scheduled for 5/27/20 but that could change because of the uncertainty with the pandemic.

All the staff members that I came in contact with are great. I am working with his assistant Shanna and she is phenomenal. My level of sag is my biggest insecurity and the wish pics I desire almost seem impossible to achieve. I asked Shanna to go out her way and help ease my mind. I requested that she send my wish pics to Dr. Joe and let me know if my wishes are possible. She had no problem accommodating this request and Dr. Joe's reply put a huge smile on my face. He actually thinks I'll look better than my wish pics. Finger crossed! This email was discussed at 7:15pm and Shanna had a reply from Dr. Joe within 20 minutes!

I have 2 consults. My first one I decided to go with 350CC and 375CC in another due to different breast sizes. I have another one scheduled May 14th and I am going to bring a few different shirts, try a little higher CC amount and decide based on that. I am going with High Profile Silicone.

So far I am happy with the process and looking forward to this change in my life.

My desires. Dr. Joe is confident he can deliver these wishes. I am putting all my faith into him and his team to ensure I am satisfied with my results. Hoping for the best or better.

Surgery is just a month away. Assuming it doesn’t get pushed back again. Shanna continues to be responsive and attentive. She is truly a big help throughout this journey.

350 & 375cc

Went in on 5/14/20 for a second consult to make sure I wanted the CC's I originally picked. I decided to go with 350&375. I have two different breasts sizes so that's what makes the most sense. Shanna the surgery coordinator went over everything with me, I made my payment and I am set for 5/27/20. I am excited but not overly anxious. It's a weird feeling. I am very nervous about how my final results will turn out (not doubting Dr. Joe's work at all. I have full confidence he'll deliver). I simply wish I didn't have to get a lift. It's a major surgery and regardless of who I decided to go to, I'd still be nervous with how the final result will turn out. It's more than just the typical breast enhancement, it's having to actually bring my breasts up and there's much more that needs to be done. I am putting so much faith into him.

I met Dr. Joe in person this time (1st consult was via Facetime). His bedside manner is sweet and kind. Which is extremely important to me. He was patient and allowed me to ask any questions.

I am excited for this new phase in life.
