A True Master of His Craft - and a Surgeon with Heart

When I was first looking for a surgeon, I was committed in finding the best of the best within the field. As all patients, walking into this experience requires vulnerability - physically, emotionally, and even financially. With one goal in mind, I sought out the best breast reduction surgeon in Beverly Hills. After hours of filtering and viewing before & after photos, I narrowed my search to Dr. Linder.

From my very first call, his staff — Adriana (office manager) and Sarai (front desk assistant) — were nothing short of professional, warm, and accommodating. When I had just called, the office staff shared the next available consultation was two weeks out. Yet, Adriana remarkably followed up that she was able to make a change in Dr. Linder’s schedule that same day so I would not have to wait the additional two weeks. To this moment, as I type this review, her flexibility deeply touched me.

Further, another moment of immense gratitude I have is that Adriana offered me her personal number in case I had any questions throughout the process (I sure did, lol). Sometimes, I would reach out over the weekend when the office was closed. Irrespective of the office’s hours, she was available, kind, and responsive. That level of access and genuine care really makes a difference in a patient feeling seen and heard.

Dr. Linder’s specialty is breasts, and he truly lives and breathes his craft. To note - I had a breast reduction, lift, and liposuction near the sides of my breasts. During my consultation, I shared that I wanted to go from an E cup to a B cup. While he heard and respected my wishes, he gently advised that going that small might not suit my frame — but he never pushed, only offered his professional perspective. I ended up deciding on a small C cup and let me tell you, he was absolutely right.

One moment that deeply stayed with me happened before my surgery. I mentioned to Dr. Linder, “I have a family member who wants to come see you!” He smiled and said, “I appreciate that, but right now my focus is you and making sure you are most happy with your results.” That touched me, because even when presented with a potential referral, his commitment remained fully on the patient standing in front of him.

Another moment that meant so much came on the day of my surgery when I was under anesthesia. He actually shared the story with me the morning following my surgery. He explained that while he had originally planned to remove a certain amount of grams of tissue from each of my breast, that while I was on the operating table, he thought to himself, “Will she be happy with these results? No — she emphasized she wanted to be smaller.” So, he took out more grams to make sure the final result reflected what we had discussed in both my consultation and pre-op appointment. That level of care, memory, and dedication meant the world to me. I wouldn’t have been able to advocate for myself in that moment as I was physically not awake. Yet, to know Dr. Linder had heard my requests in the appointments leading up to the surgery and delivered it with accuracy and precision in the moments it most mattered, for that, I will forever be indebted to him.

The results speak for themselves. My family and friends have all praised his work after seeing my before-and-after, and with good reason — the transformation is remarkable. I went from sagging boobs nearly touching my belly button to breasts that nicely sit where they’re suppose to - up and perky. More than anything, they look natural! While I have no intention of ever needing another breast reduction, if I somehow do, I know exactly whose artistry I’d trust again: Dr. Linder.

I can’t recommend him enough. He is a master of his specialty. While he is a triple time Bruin and I am a fellow Trojan, one knows when to put rivalry to the side to commemorate his precision, artistry, and heart.

Thank you forever and always, Dr. Linder!
