Better Than Any Top Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon! - Honolulu, HI

WORTH IT$17,500
Dr. Schlesinger's experience and intuition showed when he did my breast augmentation revision- I've been to some of the best plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills, but even they could not prevent my implants from falling to the sides when I laid on my back. It's been a couple of months and the amazing technique Dr. Schlesinger used is working like a charm! I went with implants that were 200 cc's bigger than what I had, and am 100% satisfied with the size. I also had him trim off a little bit of my labia lips at the same time, and the wedge technique he used was incredible! The lips are now perfectly straight and I'm now 100% confident with how everything looks "down there." I was initially worried that the opening looked too small, but he assured me it would stretch, and that intercourse would be fine. I have had intercourse since surgery and realized that I was worrying for nothing. It's not too tight or painful at all- the only difference is that I'm no longer self-conscious about how the outside looks anymore.

Dr. Schlesinger is not only a brilliant surgeon with an impressive background in all cosmetic procedures, but he truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond in dedicating his life and time to ensure your well-being and address all your concerns. He won't push you to have unneccesary procedures, but at the same time, is not ultra-conservative (I've seen some other surgeons' before and after photos where I could hardly tell the difference, and of course there were those on the opposite end of the spectrum, where they looked better in the before pictures and were sold something completely unnecessary.) I am completely happy with my breast revision and larger implants. I recently spoke with friends who had gone to a more conservative surgeon who wanted to put less than proportional implants in and they now wished they had gone to Dr. Schlesinger, as he has the experience to know what outcome the patient will be happy with. I am incredibly impressed with how much time he dedicates to post-op visits and like how cautious he is during the healing process. He saw me the morning after surgery, every three days for the next couple of weeks, and now once a week. It is much more than any other surgeon I went to in Los Angeles and it's just comforting to know he's checking on my progress often. I am looking forward to my next visit, because I'll be able to see a massage therapist in the office during me visit. Since I haven't been able to lie on my stomach with the recent implants, it is just so nice that he goes out of his way to do everything possible to make sure his patients are comfortable while they're following all healing precautions. He also has a surprisingly delicate touch. I could hardly feel him remove the stitches for my breast revision procedure, and although the stitch removal for the labiaplasty was more sensitive, his touch was so delicate that I didn't use lidocaine for most of it. It has just been a high-class experience from the beginning: All pre-op procedures such as bloodwork and financing was able to be done in the office (before I'd always have to go to a lab), their surgery center is amazing (I stayed there my first night since I had drainage tubes that had to be emptied, and being extra cautious, I felt much better having a nurse do it instead of my boyfriend), my phone calls are always answered, and his staff now feels like family (I don't mind a short wait because they always take that time to catch up with me to see how I'm doing and there's an abundance of delicious refreshments to munch on.) All in all, he is a genius at the art of cosmetic surgery, and just a wonderful and caring person as well!

Did you get some type of internal bra during your revision to help your breasts not fall into your armpits? I have seen some women wear a sleep bra at night to help prevent gravity taking over again in the future. Will you be doing anything like this? Congratulations on your revision and your labia work too!

Yes! Previously, a surgeon in Los Angeles had tried to use stitches to hold them in place, but they wouldn't even hold them during the surgery. Dr. Schlesinger used something called Seri, which is like a mesh hammock to hold them in place and prevent them from falling to the sides. It takes about 28 months to dissintegrate, which I was pleased to hear, as I didn't want any other foreign materials besides the implants in my body forever. He also used his own invention of these foam "shapers" that were placed on the outside of my body by a type of safe, surgical adhesive (I believe it may be what he uses for abdominal work as well.) It was a second method of keeping them in place and I had them on for about a week. The third method he implemented is that I wear an underwire bra while sleeping for the next couple of months. Victoria's Secret has the perfect comfortable sports bras which have underwire support, but with padding, so you don't have the discomfort of a normal underwire bra. They also have zip closure in the front, which holds them away from the sides even more. He said once the Seri dissolves I'll be good to go! I won't have to sleep in bras for the rest of my life, which I was happy to hear! I've had implants for over a decade, but no surgeon has ever been able to keep them from falling to the sides before. Now they just fall slightly into a natural position when I lie on my back, unlike before, where they would go so far to the sides that the front of my chest was almost completely flat when I laid down- it made me pretty self-conscious in regards to intimacy or even sunbathing at the beach.

Wow, what an amazing difference you've noticed with the Seri mesh. So glad to hear it's working and that you've been extremely careful to follow your doctor's post instructions. Here is an interesting forum about sleep bras that you might find helpful. Feel free to update us again soon!
