I went in for the consultation and Dr. Ganchi said the lift involved just cutting skin off. My right breast was a half ounce larger than the other, so I asked if he could even them out, and he said he could. After the surgery though, I noticed that he had reduced my right breast too much (now, my left breast is a half size larger than my right!) and in one spot only, causing a depression in the area that interrupted the curve of my breast. I also noticed he had inserted some kind of rubber rings around my nipples, which I did not ask him to do. When I came in to ask him about the dimple his tissue removal caused, he said that he was required to take out a full two ounces to send to a lab (??!? and said not to worry, they weight of the breast would re-curve the shape. I also asked him to remove the rubber rings, which he did. But why did he not tell me these things BEFORE the surgery so I could have changed my mind? Now I still have breast unevenness but in reverse, and an unsightly dimple under my right breast, and over the last bunch of years this has not changed as he said it would.
When I consulted his office again about this, his front desk staff manager became intimidating and yelled at me! This doctor deformed me from this operation and never made it right. If you get a breast lift, there are many other better doctors, especially in NYC, that are better to go to.

From Dr. Ganchi - Hi cxpark... Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with your plastic surgery procedure. From your description, it does not seem that your surgery was performed by Dr. Parham Ganchi. There are too many things that don't fit what Dr. Ganchi does:
1 - He doesn't use anything that even resembles rubber rings around any patient's nipples and never has.
2 - We do not work with any insurances or labs so we are never "required" to send any particular amount of tissue to the lab. If breast tissue is removed, it is sent to the lab. The amount removed is whatever the patient needs.
3 - The size of your areola and the pattern of your lift procedure doesn't match what we normally use.
4 - We looked through our file of photos and can't find anyone who has had a breast lift with a name like yours or with a mole on their abdomen like you.
5 - If anyone, especially an existing patient, calls our office, we welcome them and are happy to hear from them. There is no reason for us to yell at them or to be intimidating.
In any case, it seems this area on your breast is really bothering you. We would always welcome you to our office to see if we can help you. Please call us and set up a visit. We would be happy to speak with you and help you find a way to improve your result. We look forward to hearing from you. Take care.

Well, everything you say here completely contradicts my experience with your office, although I have the documentation and pics to prove my experience. However:
1. Dr. Ganchi put some kind of rubber rings under my nipples, and did the surgery after to take them out when I insisted and refused to pay for an additional surgery.
2. He told me he "had" to take 2oz out for "the lab"; whether that was true or not, who knows.
3. He did the job.
4. I have the bill and paperwork.
5. I was treated badly by your office manager.
After what I've been through with your office and the way I was treated by the staff, I wouldn't trust you to do the job. After consulting other doctors in NYC I found out that the only way to fix this dimple is to do very detailed lipo on both breasts to round them out and make them even.

I actually think your breasts look great. The scarring is exceptional and from that angle I can barely see the indent. I'm sorry you're unhappy though. I hope things work out. They may be able to revise what you don't like.

Thanks- I appreciate your encouragement! Perhaps it is not as noticeable as I thought it was.
Thank you for your review. I hope you find support in this community.
