- 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.

After three surgeries, three doctors, and two very...
After three surgeries, three doctors, and two very depressing years, I finally found the doctor that gave me the look I wanted.
The first doctor talked me into implants that were too big, he changed my inframammary fold, and when I tried to reach him, I had to go through his nurse. I went to a second doctor to fix my issue because 1. I did not trust the doctor who performed the first surgery and 2., I HATED the anesthesia they gave me - it was basically the date-[RS bleep] drug. When I woke up, I couldn't move my body for hours - it was awful for me and even more awful for my husband. Make sure your doctor works with a real anesthesiologist instead of cheap drugs. Doctor two ended up making matters worse because now my breast was so bottomed out that the nerve pulled on my nipple unless I wore a bra (24/7).
The third doctor I went to was Dr. Richard Rand at the Northwest Center for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (Bellevue, WA). I was ready to take everything out and go back to my flat chest. When I met with him, he was kind like the others, but he was different - he is so successful as a surgeon, and so established, I didn't feel like he was selling me anything. I wasn't rushed into making a decision. He just wanted to help me get what I wanted.
He showed me several pictures of other botched breast augmentations he has fixed over the years. He explained what went wrong with the first surgery, why he agreed the size was too big, and why he doesn't change the inframammary fold because of what happened to me. Luckily, he also explained how he would fix it. No fancy products to repair the pocket. Rather, he would stitch everything back together by hand. The two other surgeons I consulted with wanted to put Seri or the pig-skin product in me which I didn't want.
I emailed him with questions before surgery - he addressed them right away. Because of the scare we had with the first surgery and its anesthesia, he introduced me to a nurse that would help me and my husband. And after surgery, I met with HIM, I emailed with HIM, I got answers directly from HIM - no nurses, no emergency lines. It was him and for that I am forever grateful.
I am close to 6 months post op. My recovery and changes have been exactly what Dr. Rand said they would be. I am finally happy with the decision to have a breast augmentation and love the way my breasts complement my figure.
I wish all women knew what I had to learn over two long years. Find a doctor who you can trust. The money is worth every cent if they do it right. I would give anything to have my two years back so I hope people read this and at least make an appointment with Dr. Rand for a consultation so they know what they could have. He does it right the first time.
