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.

Many years later, and I’ve finally done it!
I told myself that if I ever actually went through with getting my procedure done, I would make sure to post here because it helped me so much through my journey.
So, here I am. There have been many changes in my life since the last time I posted here (2016). I started a new career where I relocated to Philadelphia, and was furloughed from that job in 2020 for obvious reasons. This set me up for a situation where I could finally pull the trigger on my surgery and have time to recover!!
Unfortunately I had issues with my insurance, and because of the time constraints I decided to pay out of pocket. For me, I have been saving for years and it was worth it. It’s also worth mentioning that I have lost about 25 lbs in the last few years. Because of this, I was left with deflated and sagging breasts without much density.
I met with Dr.Hoffman in July 2020 to try to get coverage through insurance, and he was very straightforward with me about the lack of weight in my breasts and how even if I was able to get it covered that they would want so much taken out that I would be left with breasts not proportionate to my body. He has a lot of experience and I trusted his opinion, and I’m very glad I did.
I was able to get a surgery date of Dec 11, 2020. I ended up paying around $8500. Dr. Hoffman’s office was very very helpful and informative though the whole process.
Recovery in hindsight was relatively painless, I only took painkillers for 2 days and after a week or so I felt pretty normal! After years of thinking about getting this done I had anxiety but I can truly say it was 100% worth it. I have no regrets.
I will attach most of the photos I have. I believe he ended up taking roughly 250g’s out of each side. I’m happy to answer any questions about any part of the process!

First Consultations!
So, I met with 2 Doctors this week. There was definitely some anxiety going into both of the appointments because it's obviously very revealing and leaves you feeling exposed.
I met with Dr. Angobado on Monday, and honestly I liked his nurses more than the doctor. He talked to me for a while and answered my questions, but there was something about his demeanor that didn't make me feel comfortable. Also - small thing, but he used the word "boobs" like three times instead of using more professional terminology. Those kinds of things matter to me.
Fast forward to today - I met with Dr. Lester in Dallas. His office his like 10 minutes from my house. The staff was so unbelievably kind and helpful, and Dr. Lester has over 30+ years of experience so he told me honestly what my expectations should be. I explained to him that I wanted to go for a small C cup, and he said that was possible. The second I left I started the "faxing rodeo" and got all the paperwork in! They said they would send the claim to my insurance company by the end of the week, so now I wait. I'm really hoping I get a response more on the 2 weeks end instead of the 3 months end...
It's so cool getting the ball rolling and making this a reality. If I get approved I will definitely cry tears of joy.
