Dr. Hochstein revision with lift - Miami, FL
ORIGINAL POST
Hi, I'm searching for a GREAT PS to do my revision...
$6,200
Hi, I'm searching for a GREAT PS to do my revision which would include a lift and switch out of implants from saline to silicone. I've narrowed it down to dr Roudner or another Miami ps but really leaning towards dr roudner. Can anyone share with me their experiences? I'm nervous about the whole thing so any feedback is muc appreciated!

I had BA with Dr. Roudner is 2010 and have been in love every since! He is the sweetest and easiest person to talk to and will always give you an honest opinion about anything on ask him regarding surgery. I had implants and a lift done and surgery went very well. Was back at work in less than a week and I couldn't be happier.

I personally like Dr Pinnella. He did my revision. And I am thrilled. I would advise you get your implants under the muscle. Dr Pinella also just did a revision on one of my friends . She required a lift and new implants . A top PS In Boca did her first surgery and they looked so bad. So I had her come to my surgeon and now she looks amazing !!!!!

Has Anyone Used Dr Roudner or Dr Hochstein for a Lift with Implant?
Hello-I'm 35 and I had a BA in 2007 and after kids I now want/need a lift and want to switch out my saline for silicone. I'm split between dr Roudner and Dr Hochstein. I would love to hear feedback on these doctors. I met Dr Hochstein and it went well. However it seems his reviews are mixed but still good. I didn't meet Dr Roudner but I haven't read a bad review. Any help/advice is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm on the same boat that you are! I need a revision and I'm very nervous about the scars of the lift. I have an appointment with Dr. Rounder next week, already saw Dr. Hotchstein. I am on a cancelation list for Dr. Krau as well.
August 8, 2015
Glad to know im not alone! Please let me know how your appt goes. Today I'm leaning more towards Hochstein because he does general anesthesia and roudner does twilight and because of my anxiety I don't think I want to be awake during a surgery like this! What did you think about dr hochstein? Anyways-let me know how it goes with Dr Roudner! Good luck!!
August 9, 2015
Hmmmm i didn't know about that. That's great info. It's funny I am your same age and need the same exact procedure. Except my implants are older and they have ruptured. I think Hotchstein is great. I have heard and seen really good results. The pictures on his site are all very good. I worry about the scars but as far as I have read and heard. The scars depend on how you heal. He said I was a good healer... It's such a hard decision for me to make now that I'm older and more informed.

I just wanted to correct you, roudner also does general I am scheduled for my ba this Saturday and I can confirm its general it's also on his website. Good luck!

I just had my surgery yesterday and I am more than pleased with my experience and yes 100% general anesthesia. Dr roudner and his staff were amazing.
I am very pleased with my results so far and it's only day 2 I still have some time to go before I see the end result.
I would recommend roudner !!!!

Congratulations! please post pics. I went to Roudner this week, but they did say it was Local not General. Is that what you meant?
August 17, 2015
Yes I read he just did local and not general. So you are awake during surgery but just really "unaware". I believe its local anesthetic with twilight sedation. So the area is numb and you are just loopy. At least that is my understanding....
August 17, 2015
Not yet... I am leaning towards Hotchstein. I feel like he is more current. I also think I just want to be out completely and I am not sure that I want Mentor implants again. Price difference is large though.
August 11, 2015
I've been researching these two doctors for a while I actually have 2 friends that dos with roudner and one with hochstein and I haven't heard one bad things from either one I did go based off the amount of augmentations performed and who made me feel more comfortable I am actually scheduled for surgery this Saturday August 15th with roudner and I haven't looked back since making my decision.

Just had a benelli w/339 silicone under muscle with Dr. H :D check out my profile. Only 18 days post op but super happy already.
August 11, 2015
Thanks Lavazza-good to know! Would love to hear how your journey goes! So does Dr. Roudner perform more of the revisions than Hochstein? I think I just need to go ahead and meet with Roudner. I'm from out of town so I was just going to go with Hochstein since I already met with him but I must just delay the surgery a bit longer so I can meet Roudner. I just want the results to be AMAZING! My first BA was good, not bad...but just good. Dr. Roudner and Dr. Hochstein seem to be able to give great results pretty consistently.

Had my surgery yesterday and I am more than pleased. The difference with roudner and hochstein is that roudner made me feel 100% comfortable the moment I met him with hochstein there was too much celebrity status for me.
I am very pleased with rounders work I love them already and it's only day 2 I can also tell you roudner was cheaper!
I didn't go based off price I went based overall comfort and I have 2 friends that did them with him so I had seen his work already.
Good luck keep me posted :-)

Down payment made! Ready!
Going with Dr Hochstein. He and his out of town coordinator, Jennifer, have been WON-DER-FUL! Very excited to have my benelli lift with implants/revision from a 2007 BA. Scheduled for November.

When is your surgery? I am scheduled with Doctor H on the 13th.
September 26, 2015
I am on the 3rd. Are you coming in from out of town too? What are you having done?
September 26, 2015
Are you doing the bennelli or full lift? I'm about 90% sure I want to do the bennelli and not the lift. I think the results I want will be more in line with the bennelli.
September 26, 2015
I'm local, I am doing a full lift. I don't really have an option my current implants are above the muscle and are about 630ccd (something like that). So imagine how much they have sagged. Doctor H, didn't even offer an option, he was very clear on what I needed. I also don't want to do this again, so I want them very high. I don't mind the "fake" look for now. My post op is on Wednesday, so we can discuss size then. What size did you go for?
September 26, 2015
I currently have 325 so I'll probably be somewhere in that size. I sent him my wish pics last week and I asked if I could get an idea of what I will need in terms of cc's and types of implants. I saw dr H in March and at that time he recommended a bennelli or full lift. He showed me a picture of a client whose before picture looked like me and the after was what I wanted so before I had any wish pics he was able to give me an idea of how they would look which was very helpful.
September 26, 2015
That's good. I'm getting very nervous as it is getting closer but it definitely helps to know I am able to go to him. I am going smaller this time. My back is done... I can't wait to not feel the pull and the numbness I feel right now.
Are you recovering here or going back home?

September 26, 2015
I'm recovering in Miami from Tuesday to Friday then heading home. the implants I have now are under the muscle so dr H said recovery should be easier since I already have them under the muscle. My recovery for my original BA was fine/normal. First day or two I slept a lot. No pain just slight heaviness on chest.

Half you chose Dr.H I went in sept he's an amazing dr. My friend had a lift from him, hers looked so beautiful I didn't look any further.
