Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

best decision ever! thank you so much dr. hanson!!!
It’s been almost 3 years since my breast reduction surgery going from 36D/EE (after 2 kids, long breastfeeding + weight loss) to perfect 34C.
(Ps. Had to put 2023 in the date selection during the review as the system doesn't allow reviews from 2+ years. Looks like I'm late to the party!)
I cannot describe how grateful I am to Dr. Richard Hanson and his entire Team for supporting me and making my dream come true. From the very first appointment all the way through surgery/hospital stay + aftercare follow-ups, I felt heard, taken care of and very well-informed. The support from the Team was exceptional - from initial e-mails, appointments, scheduling, support with forms and admin stuff - all smooth sailing and prompt, timely assistance.
Undergoing plastic surgery was a very personal decision for me at that stage of my life, when I finally decided - it’s time to focus on me. Dr. Hanson made this journey not only possible, but truly empowering!!! That made a huge difference for me when choosing my consultant.
Dr. Hanson was so patient answering my gazillion questions, even the difficult and uncomfortable ones, when I asked about what can go wrong, all the what-ifs and his stats. Dr. Hanson was open and transparent without any sugarcoating and self-praise. This helped me to build more trust and rapport with him.
His bed-side manners, genuine compassion & care plus fantastic skills all contributed to my successful outcome.
Dr. Hanson was also very clear in what I could expect and be realistic about it, but the final result - even now after all those years - not only exceeded, but REDEFINED MY EXPECTATIONS!!!
(Side note - my weight has fluctuated up and down since then and everything still kept its new shape & SIZE without going South!)
It’s not only a physical change, but my confidence, comfort in my own body improved way beyond what I ever envisioned.
The surgery and overnight hospital stay went very smooth and I didn’t experience any side-effects nor discomfort. I got everything for the aftercare and pain management, but I didn’t really need medication and couldn’t believe that after such extensive surgery, there was very little discomfort maybe for the first 5-7 days. It was mostly due to my back and my sleep position trying to be extra careful, but the chest area wasn’t painful. Everything healed quickly and if you are wondering about the scars - well, they are part of the process, but I can tell you that after a while, you stop noticing them. After about 1 year they were hard to notice - but would still change colour with temp. change, e.g. under shower. Now, after almost 3 years - even I have to look for them - they appear like a very fine line, lighter than my skin tone and hide in the natural creases of my body. The areola has no scarring and the line running down from the nipple area to the middle of the breast is just a little lighter when I look close and stretch my skin.
All ‘scars’ are flat and there are no ‘dog ears’ on the sides where the incision ended, which was one of my concerns, but as Dr. Hanson explained to be - ‘We don’t do dog ears here’ - look it up, if you are wondering what’s that ;-)
And a side note; I do have only 1 regret - that I had waited so long to get it done!
On the other hand, I’m glad I found Dr. Hanson as he was fundamental in making this decision the RIGHT ONE FOR ME.
Also, you know like sometimes you are happy with the result and you start to look for something else to ‘improve’ which from a business perspective, would be a lucrative, returning customer deal for the provider - well, when I started to ask about ‘this and that’ to get done as well, Dr. Hanson was very clear - it’s not time for it yet/ and/or I don’t need it and he wouldn’t recommend it with full explanation as to why. So that’s that - his a professional that will provide you with clear evaluation of your needs & wants and give you a constructive feedback, where sound medical advice comes first, rather than just a short-term ‘business perspective’.
Dear Doctor Hanson, if you are reading this - thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your genuine care and all your exceptional skills that I had a privilege to experience and benefit from. Legend! <3
