Provider Review
This review is long overdue, but for good reason. I had breast augmentation revision done in February 2017 by Dr. Galanis. Prior to that revision I had another revision in October of 2016 by a different plastic surgeon. The revision in October of 2016 left me completely grief-stricken. I ended up with a capsular contracture, as well as a bottomed out implant in less than 3 months recovery time! Needless to say, this time around I wanted to let my body heal. I felt it was appropriate to allow the implants to settle into place before giving an honest review of not only Dr. Galanis, but of my results too. Having said all of this, my results are nothing short of superb! On to the review: I would like to start off by saying I am a Chicago based patient. I can truthfully say that to this day, I know if I had a question or concern I could reach out to Dr. Galanis. He would promptly respond. I never felt the least bit concerned about the distance between us. Throughout the entire process I had the privilege to correspond exclusively with Dr. Galanis. I was fortunate to have met him before his move to California. His bedside manner is extraordinary! His level of professionalism always left me feeling informed and comfortable. I can not say enough about how he treated me before, during, and after surgery. His willingness to listen, and his genuine desire to help me achieve the look I wanted really stood out. I understand that he sees lots of patients. It would be easy to treat visits as routine, but he has an understanding that each patient is unique, and no two patients can be compared. He accounts for individuality of each specific patient and case. Surgery is a very serious matter that I do not take lightly. I felt it critical to have a surgeon that has a humanistic approach to personalized care. His training and expertise are remarkable! It is apparent in his results his passion to enhance the body. Looking at his before and after photos is proof of his level of skill. Because this was my second revision I knew that pictures were not enough. After all who would post a picture of a bad outcome?! I researched him extensively to see where he was trained (UCLA), as well as his board certifications (double board certified). Clearly he is a high qualified surgeon! I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Galanis always gave his honest opinion about what I could expect during recovery, and what I could expect as a realistic end result. I wanted to increase implant size. I explained to him that I am a mother as well as a professional. Another words I wanted to look tastefully enhanced. He nailed it spot on! I am completely satisfied with the size implants he chose. Luckily I had no complications after surgery. However, I know without a doubt if there were any issues he would have addressed them. We discussed this in depth before surgery, because this was unfortunately my second revision. I am a patient of Dr. Galanis for life. He will be thee ONLY plastic surgeon I will ever go to again. I have complete trust and faith in him. Words can not describe how grateful I am to have had him correct what I felt was a botched chest. Dr. Galanis is a tremendous human being. As much as plastic surgery is physical, it impacted my emotional and mental well being. I finally feel like I have the breasts that I have always wanted.
