Almost 3 Most Post Op And Feeling Good About My Results
ContajusJune 25, 2015
I am almost 3 months post op and feeling great about my results. I can't be more thankful for my decision to go to Dr. Parhiscar. I can't say enough how great he is as a surgeon and how great his assistant Melinda is. This doctor not only goes above and beyond to provide the best result but he is very attentive to his patients and every concern. I just wanted to give a brief update and upload a picture of my progress.

You look amazing! I'm going to see him on the 30th. Like you I was going to LA but my husband wants me to be local. I hope his prices are reasonable....
January 22, 2016
You can't go wrong with Dr.P. To me his prices were very reasonable (cheaper then the prior quotes I received) an he is a excellent doctor with a great staff. Melinda is the sweetest person you will meet. I can't wait to see your results .
January 28, 2016
Wow your review made me book an appointment with the dr for a ba...i originally already paid deposit for bbl with a dr in LA which deposit non refundable :( but o decided to do ba first and rather stay local...u look great and I hope he's everything I described...to me :)
January 28, 2016
Thank you for replying I will be going on Friday and I will definitely let u know and I will tell him your review is what made me email him for a consult lol!
January 28, 2016
Aww thanks, I appreciate that. I look forward to following your journey and hearing about your experience!
January 28, 2016
Thank you...I read your a grandmother!!! Sheesh!!! You gotta bangin body especially for a grandma!!! I was going to dr hazani in LA but looking if any dr in the bayarea can change my mind, I really don't want to pay for a hotel and flight on top of the surgery!!! after my ba I might have dr parhiscar do my bbl...hopefully me and dr vibe well...does he use drains for just a ba? Thank u again
January 28, 2016
Drains for Breast Aug no he doesn't but I did have drains for my tummy tuck. I am a grandmother and I look nothing like one its so amazing. The biggest thing that made me change my mind was thinking about the over all recovery process and after weighing it out I made the right decision there is no place like home. I couldn't imagine going through my recovery process in a hotel.
January 29, 2016
Hi I just wanted to ask u did the dr recommend u get a lift? And did u? He said I'm borderline...u really don't want a scar...I'm
Confused....he said I'll
Still get good results without but he said later on I will need a lift...I really don't want scar :/
Confused....he said I'll

January 29, 2016
He did..I opted not to(I didn't want a scar either) he was just giving you your options. I went with a mentor 500 or 550 I will have to look at my implant card . My breast have a natural sag and I can go with out a bra an not look droopy. What size implant did he recommend?
January 30, 2016
450cc... I just done want big ol areolas if I get it done without lift hahaha! If u don't mind can I see what it looks like without lift? I really like dr parhiscar I'm just so torn lift or no lift...and I did mention ur result today during consult ;)
January 30, 2016
Ask him to make your areolas smaller....he suggested 450 I am a rebel I asked for 500..lol You seen my flat breast in the before picture and you see the after picture even in the dress I had no bra on. I know maybe 10years from now I may need a lift but I will worry about that then. Now I just want to enjoy my breast scar free. P.S he goes in thru the areola and under the muscle so no scar when he does the regular implants... I am always available for questions anytime I am always excited to share my experience especially when it has been such a great one!
January 30, 2016
He said if he reduces my areola implant will put pressure on it and make the scar not appealing...but your boobs from what I can see look awesome!!!!! But thank u so much for taking the time! Did I forget to mention your body is baggin!!! Lol!!! Sheesh!!! I might after ba get tt with him too maybe next yr then maybe then I can add a lift huh?!? I'm really not trying to have that scar :/
January 30, 2016
Thank you so much..Going to Dr. P was the best decision I made! Yes the lift is a hard decision but you can always tattoo over the scar Google some they get pretty creative with them
January 30, 2016
I think I am...he was very kind, not pushy and very informative....I don't think I'm going to do the lift right now...and I think I want to go 500cc which he said I can but be noticeable and hard to hide but that's the whole point of getting a ba right ahaha ha jk! But I do like them big noticeable and borderline natural/fake looking but same time proportioned to my body and not too heavy looking
February 6, 2016
Hi...I wanted to know what does the dr use for stitches are they dissolvable? Or he takes them out? And what does he do first post op appointment after breast augmentation? I was watching a YouTube video and the dr was massaging second day and it looked sooo painful and I'm hoping dr P is gentle the first pre op appt after breast augmentation! Thanks and this is my second profile I also have the jazz123
February 6, 2016
Hi I had my surgery on a Thursday my first post-op was on that Monday. No he doesn't massage the breast, different doctors use different practices. He does use dissolvable stitches so nothing to be removed in the breast area.
February 6, 2016
Hi Dr. P does not massage the breast, he will look lightly exam but not massage. Different doctors use different practices. He does use dissolvable stitches so noting to be removed from the breast YAY..lol an I had my surgery on a Thursday my first post op was that Monday .
February 6, 2016
Thank you sooooo much for answering me so fast!!! I even emailed Melinda with stupid questions because I'm so nervous...I know when I see her face to face again I might be embarrassed hahahaha!!!thank u again!!! God bless!!!
February 6, 2016
Omg I've been trying to prepare myself and I just saw a YouTube video that scared me!!!! Thank you so much for replying to me I really appreciate it!!! God bless you! I can sleep a little easier tonight! U are wonderful I swear!!!
February 6, 2016
I was nervous to I think that is natural. I had a lot of work done at once and I am fine, you will be too! Always remember the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, I had so many for them. What day are you having surgery?
February 6, 2016
Thank you, if I have the answer I am always willing to share. I tooo was in your shoes so I know what your feeling!
February 6, 2016
Sorry posting 100 times the sight is having issues I guess I thought I didn't post when I really did lol!
February 6, 2016
March 24th is my day at 1:00 I'm excited and nervous at the same time...I'm working till 11:30 and I will head straight to San Ramon...I can't wait to get it over with lol
February 6, 2016
Okay so your time is around the corner. I am excited for you! You will do fine trust me and I can't wait to see your results!
February 7, 2016
Another question...I'm sorry I'm nervous!!! Did u wake up in pain from breast? Does he inject numbing stuff in it? I'm so scared to wake up in pain!! Thank u!!
February 7, 2016
I did wake up in pain but from my tummy tuck not my breast but he makes sure you get meds before you leave the surgery center and he will give you a prescription to fill for pain and antibiotics 2 days prior to surgery. Now I am not sure about numbing stuff cause your under anesthesia so I don't think so. Honestly my breast cause me little to no pain but my tummy tuck kicked my butt..lol
February 7, 2016
I hope he can give me some Xanax for my nerves lol!! What does he prescribe? I heard some dr will inject the breast wall with numbing stuff so when girls wake up it's not so bad....I hope he does that :/ how was your ride home? I have to be at hospital by 1:00 so I'm going to be sooo hungry lol! Thank u so much once again...god bless
February 7, 2016
Truthfully he may have injected something after I was under anesthesia. My ride home was uniques my husband drove slow and avoided bumps but it was cause my stomach region not my breast. My breats were secure in a garment. He prescribed me norco for pain I believe and Augmentin for my antibiotic. I got a whole mommy makeover and my breast was the least of my pain. I just advise to make sure you by more then 1 breast garment so you can have a spare when you wash the other and a few sports bras
February 7, 2016
Where did u get the bras? Anywhere? I'm hoping to find one that zippers...sheesh I feel like a pest with all my questions :/ thank u thank u thank u!!! I'm sure this won't be the last of me asking you questions :(
February 7, 2016
Sheesh I'm sorry I'm sorry but what size is safe to buy bra? Xl or large? I will be asking him to put 500 to 550cc...how about Valium does he prescribe that too? And I will ask I'm for Xanax just for before the procedure I hope he says yes
February 7, 2016
Lol no your fine...that's what I am here for to share my journey and help make anyone else smoother if I can. I ordered my garments thru Dr. P he has a inexpensive company that gives him next day shipping. My sports bras are Coobie and I ordered them from Amazon. I took advantage of the 30day free Amazon prime 2 day free shipping but I remained a member instead of cancelling..lol
February 8, 2016
I am not sure depends on what size you are now cause I am not sure how 500 or 550 ccs will enhance your breast. I waited till after surgery and wearing my garment stage to order sports bras via Amazon prime 2 day shipping. I am not sure what all he is able to prescribe but that Norco put me out of pain.
February 8, 2016
Thank u again...nausea does be put something in IV to control that? I don't want to yak in my car...I'm hoping for Xanax because I know I'm going to be so anxious that day of surgery :/ thank u so much! I'm such a chicken when your the one who had a mommy makeover...strong women!!!
February 8, 2016
They do give you something for nausea in your IV. So you are good there! He may give you Xanax but ask cause that in conjunction with the others maybe a issue.
February 8, 2016
That's true...ok I will...dr parhiscar needs to hire you to be on his team lol!!
February 12, 2016
His prices are awesome! Having TT bbl Lipo of back. I was wondering how your scar from TT is doing? Is the scar low so you can wear bikini? I'm thinking of having him Lipo my arms too.
February 12, 2016
Awesome YAY...Yes my scar is low so I can wear a bikini...My scar is great i plan on getting a tattoo over it soon. I did lipo to my arms, they were a little sore the first few days but i made it through..LOL I am very excited for you and your journey! What day are you having surgery?
February 12, 2016
Thank you for your reply, I'm going to have it done on March 28th. I'm trying to lose 10 pounds before surgery to be healthy and at a weight I feel comfortable at. I'm taking 2 weeks off of work. I sit all day. How much time did you take? Oh by the way I'm not doing bbl I think tummy tuck just Lipo of back flanks arms inner thigh.
February 12, 2016
I took 3 weeks but I had a lot of work done. I sit all day as well but I didn't loose weight prior to surgery because after surgery if I would have gained it back I didn't want it to effect my results. So I just stayed big and watched Dr. P work a mircle. I said that to say don't beat yourself up if you don't loose the 10 pds. I am very excited for you and can't wait to see your results. I have 3 friends that have had surgery with Dr. P after me each one looks amazing
February 13, 2016
That's a good point! I'll try to eat healthy and be more active not nessassarily to lose Weight but just to be more healthier. Do your friends have real self accounts. I would love to see there results. I tell all my friends too. Lol! I can't wait for summer to be in a bikini!
February 16, 2016
Sorry for the late response no they don't they actually thought I was silly for being on here..lol but I know how anxious I was to see results and hear about experiences of various doctors so I joined and want to share my experience and story in hopes it would help others as well. I am bikini ready but mentally I am not ready..lol

I Am One Week Post Op And Very Very Happy With Dr. Parhiscar & My Results
ContajusApril 10, 2015
My surgery was April 2, 2015 @7:30am. I arrived at the surgery center at 6am , met with Dr. Parhiscar he discussed play by play what was going to happen. The anesthesiologist came gave me "happy juice" and I woke up 5 hours later not really in pain but sore and tired. The procedure(s) I had done were a Full Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair, Under The Muscle Via Arreola Breast Implants 500CC Mentor (very natural feeling) and Liposuction to my Full back, Sides, Inner Thighs, Chin And Arms (The Works).
Recovery:
The first couple of days were a struggle for me, but I have a great support system with my family & Dr. Parhiscar. Having to walk bent over, the struggle with the garment, bruising/pain from liposuction and sleeping in my recliner was not ideal or what I expected….LOL I regularly took my Pain pills/Antibiotics as scheduled but it has been a week and as of 2 days ago I am no longer taking them. Dr. Parhiscar checked on me at least twice a day and is available via cell phone whenever I have questions or concerns. I had my first checkup Monday April 6th just to make sure everything is going okay and I had my 2nd appt April 8th to have my drains removed. I can say it’s only been a week but each day I feel better and my soreness is lessening.
I am super excited about my results even being swollen as Dr. Parhiscar has hands of gold. Dr. Parhiscar is a knowledgeable, phenomenal doctor that pays attention to detail and is very realistic about the results he can provide. He made me feel very comfortable as I have never had surgery before. Cosmetic surgery is a life altering decision so please make sure you are in good hands. I had done my research for over a year before I decided to finally have surgery. I had chosen a doctor and was going to go to LA but last minute I decided I wanted to be close to home and recover at home not in a hotel room or recovery house. I came across Dr. Parhiscar here on REALSELF an contacted him based on 1 dominate review and picture. After I made contact with his office/went to my consult the next day it wasn’t hard for me realize he was the doctor for me and I was definitely staying local. He is awesome his assistant Melinda is awesome! To them you are not just a chart number or a dollar sign nor are you rushed through appointments. I have told every friend and family member I know about Dr. Parhiscar because he is great, also he is new to the Bay area as he is originally from New York. Please feel free to ask questions I am open for answers. Good Luck on everyone’s journey and I will update as often as I can!

Congrats!!! Love your results!!! You look great!! How is recovery going? Does he perform surgery at a hospital or at his private practice? How much did he charge for all those procedures?
June 25, 2015
Thank you, he performs his surgery at a surgery center right behind his practice. My recovery is going well I don't have any complaints. I am very happy about my result and look forwars to the finished results once all the swelling subsides. Dr. Parhiscar is a excellent doctor and for pricing contact him directly. I will upload a updated picture that I took last week!
June 25, 2015
Glad recovery is going well. Your results are very impressive!! Did you have BBL too? Your butt looks nicely sculpted!! I'm glad to know he's in the Bay Area, I need boobs. I went to Vanity. Thanks for sharing. Happy healing!!!
June 25, 2015
Thank you, no I had full back Liposuction which helps with the contouring of the body. I have 500cc Mentor implants Silicone It took me for a 34B to a 38D I am very happy with my breast (they feel very natural). No noticeable scar since he went in thru the Areola. What did you have done at Vanity?
June 25, 2015
Full back lipo made your butt pop!! Love it!! I live 15 miles from San Ramon, I am excited about his work!! I had BBL at Vanity.
June 25, 2015
