I had my consultation with doctor johns back in...
WORTH IT$7,000
I had my consultation with doctor johns back in November and am now finally approved by my insurance go under go a breast reduction. I am currently size 38 DDD. I for the past few years have had back pain as well as neck and shoulder pain. my breasts sag and pull, and I don't think anyone this young should have to go through this. I was so overjoyed when I received the call I could get the surgery. I am hoping it goes well, and I can get back to work as a correctional officer ASAP!

COngratulations on taking the leap of faith and getting the surgery done. It is so nerve racking. I had mine done back in November 2014. I am still getting used to them. I went from a F/G to a B. I think your look great! Best wishes!

everything went super well. better than expected. I guess everyone's pain tolerance is different because I'm an not experiencing any type of extreme pain as I have read about. it just is a few minutes of burning and soreness. my doctor was absolutely wonderful throughout the process. and I would recommend him to anyone! cannot wait to take off my bra and dressings to see my new chest! I am already noticing my slouching bettering and how much more flatter my chest is! love it

he is doctor Francis Johns from artesian plastic surgery. his office is based out of Greensburg, Pa and monroeville, Pa. I definitely would go with him. I was so afraid of the results but he did wonderful, and has never had a bad review! thank you so much for the kind words!
B. Mu breasts were tow different sized due to a lumpectomy years ago with an improper incision done on the bias, not in a curve. Even had to have 6 rounds of radiation to prepare fora scar revision. Then after telling the new doctor 4 times I do not absorb absorbable stitches (he promised he didn't) a stitch popped out through the skin, and opened the 3" incision completely. I went to see him the next day and said "I told you not to use those stitched, and hi looked me straight in the eye and said "I didn't." I replied "then what is this on my fingertip". His mouth literally fell open and said I had to sucher 1 blood vessel, and I DIDN'T THINK YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT." This was in 1974. The same thing happened with my current surgeon. I have gone 12 weeks and there is NO skin covering the fat and muscle. Drains, blood wound care doctor and nurse. I had a New kind of skin graft this past Thursday. Painless, haven't seen the result yet, but where they took the two grafts is healing nicely. But this is rare, and a stupid couple of doctors back in the 1970's dealing what they had to use at the time, and 1 that BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN didn't think I knew what I was talking about !!! You are in my prayers and I am sure all will go well. I hope you did your research!! It's not too late if you haven't, they approved the surgery not the doctor who does it. Luck and Love! Kisses and Prayers !!!
