3 weeks post-op: Breast lift with a fat transfer and liposuction of my abdomen

I cannot rave enough about my experience with Dr. Endress and Lavie. I am three weeks post-op of a breast lift with a fat transfer and liposuction of my abdomen. I initially went into Dr. Endress to discuss an MMO, and immediately was at ease with his bedside manner and approach. We go into plastic surgery with a lot of vulnerability, exposing the most insecure part of ourselves and saying, "Look really close, see it!". He was very professional yet personable and right away told me he thought lipo was a better approach for my abdomen and I didn't need a tummy tuck. I was impressed he didn't just give me what I asked but offered up a less invasive, more affordable, and just as effective approach.

The surgery was an easy process, the facility is immaculate and the OR staff are wonderful. Post-care has been equally as masterful. Working with Celene, the in-house therapist, has been a godsend. Post care is something we forget as we are excited to have the surgery and see the results but the road to get there is important. Lavie includes lymphatic massage sessions in their post-care and Celene even has come to my house. She's been on hand to help with compression garments, questions about movement and has been my buddy throughout this process. I love her!

I know we all are wary about a doctor or a facility with fewer reviews but I assure you, Dr. Endress (as well as the other surgeons at Lavie) are massively experienced. He is the Head of Surgery at Swedish (all the doctors work in reconstructive trauma surgery) working with the most fragile of cases. If he can trusted to run this type of practice at a hospital, he can be trusted to reboot my breasts!

In short, trust him. Trust Lavie. I cannot be happier with all of it. Thank you, Dr. Endress!
