Dr. Eko is fantastic.
Treatment Received: Implant Removal and Fat Transfer
My Story:
I had an accident and burst one of my implants. Dr. Eko came HIGHLY recommended by a large number of hospital staff who had work done by him or by those who had seen what he had done for others at the hospital where I was recovering. He came in to see me for the initial consultation and at first, I declined his services. I was so beat up from the accident and in so much pain from my broken ribs I still needed another surgery to fix my pelvis and I just needed time to think. He was very kind and asked if I was sure but didn’t push. He left with a please feel free to contact him if I change my mind or have any more questions. The next day I thought what am I doing. Insurance will cover it and it needs to be done and he’s a plastic surgeon who is on rotation at a level II trauma center. Who better to do this. He’s not just some general surgeon who will slice wherever and leave me looking like Frankenstein! I asked to see him again and he scheduled my removal immediately. I only did the one at the time as I was unsure how to proceed with insurance. Again he showed genuine kindness and concern and did not push me to have the second removed then and there but did offer practical advice to get me started asking insurance the right questions. Insurance didn’t cover the removal of the second but it had to go. I was so pleased with the entire process of the first I wanted him to remove it. Even if insurance did cover it they just were dragging this on and on. Dr. Eko to the rescue again! He got me in and removed the second one. I had decided that I wanted a fat transfer to fill out where the implants were but he knew I didn’t want them anywhere near the size they were. I wanted it to fit my bodys current size knowing they would increase and decrease as my weight fluctuates over the years. I also didn’t want to look like I had lipo to transfer the fat. I wanted a very natural look and boy did he deliver!!!!! He even stood his ground when I pushed and pushed to get the transfer done sooner. He knew what my body needed to heal and managed to talk me down each time. When my surgery date came for the transfer ....... by this time we’d seen each other so much from the previous 2 surgeries and recoveries it was like seeing an old friend again. He and my husband had a good laugh and we talked a bit and off to surgery I went.
Dr. Eko it’s just such a fantastic surgeon and person. Every person I’ve ever run in to that knows him has nothing but great things to say and now so do I! He’s my Plastics Doc for life. I ride motocross so while I’d rather not have another surgery the odds are against me at this point and I accept that...and I know exactly who I’m going to if I need any sort of plastic surgery done.
I really do genuinely highly recommend him and his staff. Professional, knowledgeable, and caring group. All in all, I had 3 surgeries within 6 months (the last one delayed by COVID) by Dr. Eko to correct issues from my accident and I am absolutely beside myself at how great of a job he did. I look better now than I ever did and honestly I would have been happy with just functional. He went well above and beyond what I expected but stayed within my requested “natural” realm of expectations.
