Best Plastic Surgeon EVER

WORTH IT

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Reish and his staff. I lost 190 lbs and had a LOT of loose skin. Dr. Reish was my third consult and I immediately knew I wanted to go with him. Caring, professional, and kind, I was a little concerned having a tummy tuck and breast lift/augmentation outside of a hospital. The entire staff was SO reassuring and even the anesthesiologist called to speak to me before the procedure. And the nurses were SO SWEET. My nurse and my mom hugged it out when I was getting into the car. But unfortunately, my boobs just did not want to cooperate. One of my implants wasn't dropping. At all. Through my constant follow-ups, Dr. Reish saw the issue and FIXED IT - free of charge. Lastly, he is amazingly available! Like others have said, he gives you his phone number and is SUPER responsive via email. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Reish, Rachel, Liana, Donna, etc.....

Hi, you look great. What size implants did you put in?
I think it was 255ccs in one and 285 in the other, to fix asymmetry. I do kinda wish I went bigger but I'll see where I'm at once they actually drop and fluff. I assume I'll look much fuller.
From all the photos I saw on this site, it takes about 3 months post-op for everything to start looking like it should. You will look great, your stomach already looks amazing, the waist is so nice! Im 8 weeks post-op and look awful, both sides of the incision are still swollen badly, fat on the upper stomach looks like it did before surgery, practically no waist, so trying to have patience. Dr Reish is going to do more lipo when I go for round 2 in October, thigh lift and breasts, but I'm thinking somewhere around 400cc, but afraid they will be too large :).
You're journey gives me so much hope! you look great!! thank you for updating your journey!!
Thank you! Can't believe it's been 6 weeks! I think I'll really feel done when my breasts fully settle.
You are looking amazing!
Thank you!!!!
Congratulations. Amazing transformation!
You look amazing! I appreciate your good attitude, trying to be patient. My surgery 2 weeks from today. I hope I'll have a smaller waist to help through the pain of recovery. Knowing it will all be worth it!!

6 Weeks Tomorrow

Wow! It's been a while! Things are progressing very slowly for me so there hasn't been much to write about. I finally got my second drain removed like, 4 weeks post-op. That was the best day ever!

Unfortunately my breasts are taking their sweet time to drop - with rightey being much more stubborn. They're still riding pretty high up so, I guess I'll have to be patient.

I still definitely get swollen and my left side (right by my belly button) protrudes much more than it should be. When I touch the area, there's hardness under the skin. My surgeon wants to wait to see if it resolves. If not, he'll likely have to go back in after a few months and just tuck it a little more. It wold be a simple in office thing. I guess we'll have to wait and see in 3 months or so.

Overall, I feel good. I'm sleeping on my side now and that is just, amazing. No pain really but I still feel pressure on my breasts - probably because they're still so high!! I will see what my next follow up brings, in terms of exercise clearance.

Last but not least, even though my results are taking longer than most, I am still so happy! I can wear form-fitting clothes with no pooch! I can squeeze myself into a size 6 pair of pants! What is life?!?!? I lost a total of 4 inches off my waist - alone. Hips?? Another 4 inches gone!

I actually have an hourglass figure and that is SO worth it!
