Not Worth It

Beware that Dr Drielsma mostly only does small reductions. He took off approx half a kilo and told me that was a big reduction (for him). Everyone else I know that has had this surgery elsewhere has had way more taken off. I was a 12F before the surgery, but spilling out a bit, now I comfortably fit into all my pre-surgery 12F bras, which makes me sad as I was hoping to go down to a C or D. When I mentioned my ideal size to Dr Drielsma, he said something like "the breast dictates how much you can take of," and then he told me I'd look fat as a C. I'm assuming this comment was because I've a bit of a belly. So in the end I asked for a D as the main reason for the surgery was to help with back pain, but unfortunately it hasn't gone away at all. When I commented on the pain still being there, he replied "Well I'm not a back surgeon." I found him super arrogant, a bit blunt/rude, dismissive of my questions and concerns, and always in a hurry to get me out of his office. I am so disappointed I didn't research surgeons more thoroughly before choosing Dr D, cause I feel he didn't listen to what I wanted and I'm still really large, heavy and uncomfortable. Furthermore, I'm left with 2 ugly dog ear scars under each breast where the stiches finished. Dr Drielsma refuses to fix them because he doesn't think they're bad enough. Dog ears are quite common with his lollipop method, and he does not do free revisions, unlike other surgeons. I'm also slightly uneven, to the point where one of my friends commented on this, but according to Dr D that's normal... The woman in the hospital bed next to me, also a Dr D patient, had even less taken off. Not worth all the money I spent and the weeks I spent recovering/unable to work. Please look elsewhere!My small reduction wasn't worth all the money I spent and the weeks recovering/unable to work. I really would NOT recommend Dr Drielsma, I've had such a bad experience with him. Please do your research and find a surgeon you feel comfortable with, one who will listen to what you want and give you the time you deserve!
