I Could Not Be Happier! - Palo Alto, CA
WORTH IT$8,500
Hello,
I wanted to add some more details to my review that might be helpful to those considering this procedure. I am 55 years old and after this surgery I look better than ever before. Not even when I was a teenager I had this body shape. In 2014 I was diagnosed with stomach cancer and as a result my stomach was removed. After a long year of cancer treatment I can happily say that I am in good health. However, because I have not stomach, I have lost around 64 pounds and therefore I had some of extra skin in my torso and my breast completely disappear. I also had a very big and ugly scar from the surgery across my tummy. I would not care about these things so much since I am still alive, but the thing is that I got engaged and I was not feeling comfortable about starting a new life with that physical appearance. This is when I started my search for the ideal Doctor. I needed someone with sensitivity about my personal experience, someone I could trust to put my life on his hands. I found everything I was looking for in Doctor Boudreault. His amazing work not only gave me back my self-confidence, but it also marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I am so grateful for having a second chance to enjoy life. I am considering posting photos, but I am not sure if the photos I have can really tell the story. I will follow up on this.

I feel very fortunate for finding Illuminate Plastic Surgery.
Dr. David Boudreault and his wife Molly Boudreault are just fantastic!
They are very caring, personal, and sensitive. They both keep surprising me with their caring attention always going above and beyond to make sure I am taken care of and happy. They both surpass by far any experience I have had with Doctors in the past. The staff in the practice is always kind and welcoming.
When I checked out their website, I sent Dr Boudreault office an email and within that same day he called me regarding my inquiry. I was impressed with his personal and yet professional approach.
I was very nervous about having any cosmetic surgery because I was just recovering from a serious illness that left me, scared, underweight, and a bit weak. However, right from the start Dr Boudreault made me feel I was in the best hands that I could possibly be. He took the time to explain to me each step of the process and answered every question I had.
Doctor Boudreault did a tummy tuck, scar removal and breast augmentation for me. The results were amazing and life changing. I could not be happier. His knowledge and expertise made the procedure painless and quick so I was able to get back to normal in about 4 days. The post-op care was also extremely positive. The follow up calls were consistent and I truly felt that he was really watching out for me.
I have gone back to do other small procedures and each time my experience has been consistently amazing and positive.
I am just very happy and glad that I found Illuminate Plastic Surgery as everyone there contributed to my overall positive experience.

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.
It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.
Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.
As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.
Congratulations on getting the results you were looking for. I'm so happy you were able to regain your self-confidence after going through such a harrowing experience with your cancer. I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress as you enjoy the 'new you'.
