WORTH IT
I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Osborn and his office staff.
I decided to consult with Dr. Osborn after seeing his name on r/PlasticSurgery (Reddit). I was initially wary to go to a surgeon without an extensive “before and after” gallery, but Dr. Osborn’s consultation fee was reasonable ($50) and I was having trouble finding other surgeons that performed SGs. To be honest, I planned to use my conversation with Dr. Osborn to help me decide between the two other, more well-known surgeons I had consulted with (Dr. Derek Steinbacher and Dr. Majid Jamali). I didn’t actually think that I’d go with Dr. Osborn. I almost cancelled my initial appointment with him...of course, I’m so glad now that I didn’t!Dr. Osborn turned out to be a kind and intelligent person. I instantly felt comfortable with him. After we spoke, it became clear that he was also quite humble. He didn’t have much interest in social media or advertising; he just wanted to do his job well. To my surprise, he actually had plenty of “before and afters” available, which he sent me over email. He never posts the B&As on his website because he wants to respect patient privacy.Not only did Dr. Osborn have the results I wanted, great reviews, and the best personality of all the surgeons I consulted; his office was able to get me in very quickly. I scheduled my appointment a mere two weeks after my initial consult! This is a huge deal. Dr. Steinbacher and Dr. Jamali were available in 2-3 months. I also tried to consult with Dr. Barry Eppley, but he was available for a consultation in two months and an actual appointment would in ten (yes, TEN)! I feel a bit sad that such an amazing doctor has flown under the radar, but it certainly worked out well for me!The actual surgery went off without a hitch. I flew into Boston, checked in to a local Airbnb, and walked to the office the next morning. The surgery took about an hour, and the anesthesia was perfectly timed. I had requested a lip filler add-on, and I woke up as Dr. Osborn was pulling the last needle from my lips. I got up after less than ten minutes, then left with a nurseI slept a lot the first day but wasn’t in much pain at all. I flew back after a few days hanging out at the Airbnb. I was mostly bored and sleepy. The pain was a 3/10. I managed it easily with Ibuprofen and Advil. I felt nearly normal by the end of the first week.I’m about 3 1/2 weeks post-op as I’m writing this review, and my chin looks perfect. There’s a bit of residual swelling and numbness on the tip of my chin, but everything else feels fine. (The tip of my chin also feels normal unless I poke it. I don’t notice the numbness otherwise.) The surgery and recovery happened so fast that it almost feels like a dream! I can’t believe it was so easy. I’d recommend an SG to anyone!Dr. Osborn has very reasonable fees, especially considering that he’s a highly-skilled surgeon in a major city. Dr. Osborn is straightforward in his pricing. Everything is included in the initial price he gives you; you won’t be hit with additional fees for anesthesia, follow-up appointments, etc.Finally, his office staff is lovely! Everyone works hard and answers emails promptly. I felt like they also truly cared about me.
