The Doctor is very pleasant and appears nice. She held my hand right before the surgery. At the consultation she told me that she did not use drains and would take about 1.5 pounds off. Dr. Tanovic told I would have anchor incisions. When I woke up I had drains and extended excisions. I did not find out that 3 pounds were taken off until 6 months after the procedure. I am still trying to get use the small size. My left breast kept opening up. The Dr was attentive when I saw her and restitched each time. I was in a lot of pain the first week after surgery. Unfortunately my aeola partially died on both breasts. When I first mentioned it she told me it was fine when it was not. I developed fat fibrosis in both breasts and was told to keep massaging them. It did not work. I went for a second consultation after my last visit she kept saying she could fix after I questioned her. A couple of weeks later I called her office to speak with her and her nurse wanted to know what the issues were and defended the Dr. She told me I had to come in to talk to the Dr. I did not go in because I felt uncomfortable because I have not been able to state my full concerns without being cut off and told she could fix everything. I wrote an email to her with my concerns and she did not respond. My reduction was paid by my insurance and she was paid $66,000. I went for consultation with a second Dr. Who said she try to fix some of the scars for $2500 and that is what the insurance company will be charged. There were dog ears and extended excisions started to keloid. The incisions under the breast were not in the crease. She said the fibrosis is large and if taken out would leave the breast malshapen because they are so small. She said she may can take it out and put in implants. Hopefully, I will get the revisions in a couple of months and will be happier with the results.

I spoke with the a week ago and today she did revisions. The dog ears are done. She was able to break up the fat under the nipples. No other PS knew how to do this. The Doctor did not want anyone else to fix her work. I think we had some misunderstanding earlier. I am happy that she was able to address my concerns.
