Provider Review
My curiosity about breast implants began in early high school. I have been self conscious about my flat chest my entire life. I had always contemplated breast augmentation, but it seemed like such a drastic measure to take. As I finished my bachelor's degree, I finally decided to consult a surgeon about the procedure as a reward to myself and after giving up hopes of my breasts miraculously growing (haha). I searched through RealSelf, google, and various other websites for a physician. Dr. Gutter had wonderful reviews, despite never having seen his name in advertisements. Once I arrived to my consultation, incredibly nervous and unsure, I was met with surprise by how wonderful and understanding Dr. Gutter was. He was very thorough in explaining my options as well as the risks and benefits, all while giving his own professional advice to help me make an informed decision. After a few pre-operative appointments, I signed myself up for a surgery day with confidence and excitement! Once my surgery day came, all my fears were alleviated because of my doctor's kind bedside manner, his undeniable experience, and personable character. The surgery itself was quick and easy! This was my only experience with general anesthesia, but I knew exactly what to expect because of all the information Dr. Gutter had given me in my pre-op appointments. I was in the OR for about an hour and a half, then discharged home to rest. My pain was well controlled with the prescriptions Dr. Gutter sent me home with, as well as an antiemetic for nausea and vomiting (although I never experienced those symptoms). I had a follow up appointment the very next day so that we could discuss my experience, talk about which bras to purchase, etc. without the anesthesia in my system to blur my understanding. Dr. Gutter's careful preparation really made my surgery experience as easy, painless, and comfortable as it could be! Fast forwarding to 9 months post-op, I would like to share how grateful I am for Dr. Gutter! I never expected a breast augmentation to change my life so drastically. I fit in clothing that I never before could have worn, bra and bikini shopping is never a painful experience anymore, and my confidence in myself has soared. Reflecting back to the day I made my first appointment, I am so glad that I entrusted Dr. Gutter as my physician for this life change. I am confident that no other plastic surgeon could have given me a comparable experience. Thank you so much, Dr. Gutter for changing my life!
