Dr. Ambe Achieved What Every Other Surgeon Said Was Impossible...

After drastically losing 12lbs in 7 days (had a traumatic accident with a loved one) which was 10% of my weight, my boobs deflated.
It looked like I had breastfed multiple kids and my nipples were pointing down.
I had NO upper pole but a good amount of breast tissue.
I had stage 1 (borderline stage 2) ptosis and could hold a toothbrush under my breast fold.
This was the 4th surgeon I had met with. 2 had mentioned I needed a full anchor lift, 1 mentioned I needed a donut lift. I scheduled a surgery date in December with the one I felt was most qualified (anchor lift) and then backed out and lost my deposit. It just didn't feel "right." During this time, I had made an appointment with Dr. Ambe that I forgot to cancel. It was November and their earliest consultation date was in the late summer. On May 5th, I got the call that they had a cancellation and I was next on their list. I figured, why not? Let's just go to see.
As soon as I saw Dr. Ambe, all of my anxiety went away. He was confident he could do my surgery without a lift and fix my pockets in such a way that I had good cleavage (I was horrified of having breasts that are far apart). I booked my surgery that same day for 3 weeks later.
Day of surgery: I. was. horrified. Even though they had given me a Xanax, I was convinced I was going to have anesthesia awareness. Dr. Ambe took great care of me and they had the anesthesiologist come give me something to calm me down. I remember saying "ooh I like this" and then I remember waking up in recovery. I had no nausea. I did have some pain and his incredible surgery center quickly brought over some Percocet.
I walked out of there like a CHAMP! I have been in a bra 24/7, even in the shower. I only take it off for about 5 minutes a day to dry them and swap bras after showering.
I am 3 weeks post op and could not be more happy... I did not have the super high square boobs at all... The day after surgery they just looked like perfect boobs that had already dropped and fluffed (what kind of sorcery is this, Dr. Ambe?!).

This was a very large expense for me, but I am so happy with my results and it was worth every penny.
