Best Decision I Ever Made!

After speaking with about 20+ friends that went to Dr. Hochstein and all having positive feedback and results, I decided to have a consult with Dr. Hochstein for breast augmentation which was also was my first consult and ended up being my ONLY consult. I was extremely pleased with his confident demeanor and his calming presence. He examined me and quickly told me that I was a candidate for a full lift based on my nipple placement and ptosis. I was hesitant about the scarring but how he explained the need for the full lift put my mind at ease and made sense that it was just what I needed to achieve the best results. Dr. H asked me what size and look I wanted to achieve and then he told me what CC's I would need and what profile/type of implant. I decided to go ahead and book the procedure. I was deathly afraid of having surgery as it was my first time and I have never had general anesthesia. I have "white coat" syndrome. Always scared at the doctor's office!

Karina Ruiz was my patient coordinator and she was extremely patient with me and promptly answered ALL of my questions thoroughly. She was a pleasure to communicate with and made me feel at ease.

My pre-op day arrived and I met with Dr. Hochstein and he asked if I had any questions and to show him a photo of the look and size I wanted. I also did my blood work at the office and the staff could not have been nicer. All the girls in the office are so friendly and cheerful. You can tell the office has an awesome teamwork and company morale.

Surgery day came and I was extremely nervous. I am the type of person that gets scared walking into any doctors' office. I start to sweat and panic. I arrived at 10:45am. The nurse took me back, then I met with the anesthesiologist, who put me in better spirits and then lastly Dr. Hochstein came in and marked me and I felt another relief that I was in excellent hands and I have nothing to worry about. The nurse gave me an IV and I was out like a light. I woke up in zero pain and zero nausea. Waking up with a hangover was worse than that. The nurse was there next to me and she helped me get up and into the car and before I knew it I was home. Dr. Hochstein also called the night of my surgery to check up on me and asked if I had any questions.

It's been a week since my surgery and I could not be happier. I never took any pain meds. I still can't believe how I am not in any pain especially after a full lift. I don't know how he does it but it's definitely magical! I am just a little sore. But as you can see, I am typing this long review post 1 week from surgery. I have had leg days at the gym hurt more than this. I went the natural route and I took the Arnica and Bromelin (sold at the office). My post-op went well. Dr. Hochstein and Karina answered my questions and Karina has constantly been in touch with me this week. I am ecstatic with the results. My breasts look perfect and exactly how I said I wanted them. I recommend Dr. Hochstein to anyone considering breast augmentation. You will not be disappointed! Dr. Hochstein has earned a life-time patient right here. If you want to look your best, go to Dr. Hochstein. I have also visited the med spa upstairs and the staff is just as pleasant. Hands down 5 star service!
