"THE Dr" Who Listened! - Charlotte, NC

After the birth of my son, I started to consider breast augmentation. This was after most of my adult life saying "I will never get breast implants." Having a child certainly changed me physically and it was a clear cut case of a woman's perrogative to change her mind. I didn't like the way my breasts looked and it made me insecure. Thus I started my journey into finding THE doctor to do the job...the right job. I went to three other doctors before meeting with Dr. Ditesheim, in fact, I almost cancelled my consult with" Dr. D" after hesitantly thinking I had already met "the Dr" at one of my thee other consultations. I am so glad I didn't cancel and did meet with Dr. Ditesheim. Right away, I was put at ease with the professionalism of his nurses and office staff. They made me feel like one of the girls, about to get her "girls" done. I conveyed my wishes and expectations with Dr. Ditesheim and he seemed to genuinely listen to what I wanted and furthermore, understood what I wanted and did not want (something that the other surgeons I consulted could not). Dr. Ditesheim understood that I wanted "natural" looking breasts and that I did not want "stripper" breasts which sat at my collarbone. The other surgeons suggested a lift along with implants, but Dr. Ditiesheim knew he could give me what I wanted with implants only and without additional procedures. I went through the "fitting" to find the right size for my frame, not too big but not too small....after all, we all want our moneys worth. After deciding on size, he and his nurses discussed at length my concerns and fears...too many horror stories to read about on the internet...and I immediately felt at ease (he spent over and hour with me). Surgery day came and went and I was extremely pleased with the results. The follow up appointments were always thorough and left me knowing that I had indeed made the best decision in choosing my plastic surgeon. I even went back a year later to have two small lesions removed from my nose and that went perfect as well. As of today, I am almost two years out from my breast augmentation surgery and I could not be happier! I look fantastic naked again. Dr. Ditesheim and his staff are awesome and I recommend him to my friends. There will not be another plastic surgeon for me. I am completely confident in his knowledge and abilities. Fantastic practice.
