I met with Dr. Basu in 2011/2012 and his staff really set the bar high. I went to 4-5 other doctors and none of them could compare! Almost 2 years later I still remembered Elizabeth Armstrong's amazing personable service and Dr. Basu's optimism! I knew I deserved the best and couldn't trust my surgery to anyone else.
Other surgeons seemed rushed and immediately made disclaimers, "Well, they may not be exactly the same size" or "Because you don't have much tissue there your options are limited..." Their staff was uninformed and sterile. On one occasion the waiting room felt like a free clinic and I would have left immediately had I not paid $45 for the consultation!
Dr. Basu was optimistic from day one! His confidence instilled confidence in me! I believe in speaking things into existence and him saying i was a perfect candidate and would be pleased with my results, was just what i needed to hear!
My surgery is scheduled for Jan 3rd! So far the whole experience has been a breeze, even the payin process was handled seamlessly! I instantly loved Tess (i think she handles payments and insurance) and could chat with her all day!
Overall, I cant call my experience anything less than royal and can't wait to get my surgery! T-minus 9 days! Cant wait to post a follow up review!

No worries, I was Sooooo calm on the day. It was weird really, the build up is more exciting. On the day I was just like, I can't wait any longer. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again, it wasn't as bad as I thought at all. But I'm lucky I guess.....Can't wait for your results. Feel free to ask me anything.

I cant believe there done! It was so easy. The day before I started my cycle and my menstrual cramps hurt more than this! I was very calm and relaxed due my MLD (manual lymphatic drainage). I suggest everyone get one before any surgery. If your in the Houston area I know just who to go to for the best quality and price!
I mildly freaked out when it was time to start my I V! (I cried a little) My nurse was so nice and put he hand on my shoulder and asked why I was crying. She asked if it was the I V o the surgery. I didn't know. I think it just got real to me. Well the I V didn't hurt at all and I felt silly for crying lol. When she was done she said that is the most pain I would feel all day and she was right! I met with the anesthesiologist and next thing I know i was being willed to my car!!! I had someone to stay with me all day and I planned on sleeping all day. I slept for 2 hours and was up online shopping, doing my nails, and chatting with my friends. Pain free! I even made my own soup. I am shocked by how normal I feel!
Not o mention the night before Dr. Basu called me to ask me if I had any questions. Who does that?! Every question I have had Elizabeth Armstrong has responded to in a matter of minutes. I have never been so sure of a decision in my life. Surgery is scary, pick someone who cares! It shows and makes your day so much smoother!
I will post pics next week...

its a light massage that cleanses the lymphatic system. it speeds up recovery time by minimizing the risk of infection and swelling. I am going to try to post pics this week!

I love my new additions! I feel so symmetrical! I'm almost 100% back to my normal work out routine. I wanted them to look natural with no huge gap in between them and that is just what I got! My surgeon rocks!
