How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Updating my Mommy Makeover Journey
As RS members may know, I had a tummy tuck procedure on December 3rd of 2014 performed by Dr. Joseph D. Alkon that I have separately reviewed, plus post-op pics. I am now due for Breast Augmentation with the same Doctor in less than a week, which I've just started a new, second review :)
Circum-Areolar Internal Breast Lift w/o Augmentation
For all of you women with similar interest of a peri-areolar breast lift with "auto-augmentation", or USING YOUR OWN BREAST TISSUE, with no implant, Dr. Cassileth of Bevery Hills, CA deems accomodating! It's also known as an "internal breast lift", or the "Hall-Finley" technique, in case you want a different doctor that does similar BLs using those techniques. I hope my doctor does this for me, if not I will be flying to CA ???? ~ Good Luck!
Changing Altogether ????
Well, it appears that my consultations were as different as the locations with the same doctor. Staff were great, location was great. He drew my scar for a "mini" tummy tuck from hip to hip - which is completely unnecessary (my stomach is super flat, as even he said it, and not much skin removal was required). By the way his markings were very asymmetrical, and also comparing his lines to other patients online, I've noticed his lining to be not as neat as my initial surgeon's. He was completely selling me on the new "gummy bear" cohesive gel implants. I loved them, don't get me wrong! But he didn't let me feel any other implant? Not silicone nor saline, despite my preference for natural saline IF I were to get implants AT ALL! My consult went MUCH better the first time, I don't understand. Anyways I'm going back to my initial doctor in NJ and I will be getting just a tummy tuck with him until I can save enough for his Breast Lift. I can't believe this, yet somehow I expected it. Too good to be true ???? #dissappointed
