WORTH IT
so this review is long overdue but I promised myself I would do it before the year is over. Today is December 31,2015 and all I can say is that Dr Johnny Franco was my angel...during such a stressful and emotional time in my life with the breast cancer diagnosis, I was looking for solutions... I searched high and low for a surgeon that would take my case as an individual and not stick me in the herd. Other doctors wanted to do the same procedure on me that they would perform on all the other patients, but every patient is different and so was I. I had previous implants and luckily my cancer was found very early and no lymph nodes etc... So Dr Franco had the surgical oncologist perform a nipple and skin sparing mastectomy on me then after a month of expanders Dr Franco did the final breast reconstruction procedure by exchanging the expanders to silicone implants and contouring the implants with a fat transfer. I must say my breast are almost perfect. Not perfect only because it's hard to recreate what God made! But very close and I am happy! I look great in clothes and bathing suits! My confidence level is high in terms of my body image. In addition I was a VERY difficult patient! Calling him every week, texting him on his personal phone ( the expanders where quite difficult for me) and he just responded to me, met me at his office with no scheduled appointment... He is a man of his word! He WAS there for me!!!! I highly recommend Dr Franco as an exceptional doctor and a genuine person!!!! Happy new year to all and much health to all!!!
Wonderful review, thank you for sharing and congratulations on your victory against cancer!
You mentioned you had implants previously - were you able to get the same size after your mastectomy?
