Breast Reduction - Wish I Knew then What I Know Now.

Not great. Obviously qualified and intelligent, condescending, intimidating, very lacking in empathy. End result after two surgeries is I am going to someone else to get my breasts fixed up. 3 years and $10K wasted. Get at least two opinions, ask to see photos, ask what are their revision surgery procedures, ask very specifically which item numbers they will be using on the invoice. Not a great outcome.

Can I ask what it is exactly that you aren’t satisfied with? I’m considering this surgeon and would like to be certain she’s right for me before committing.
look at her pictures...they are all wrong and I would avoid this surgeon !
I looked and the other reviews do seem to be bad. Thanks for replying. Your pictures looked really good so I wasn’t sure why you weren’t happy.
I had a bi-lateral breast reduction done in 2014. Your description of her attitude, in my experience, is spot on. I requested a C cup to take as much pressure off my neck as possible, but having bras fitted afterwards found I was still a DD ☹️

From other comments, it looks like all those who have surgery related to cancer, have a very different experience.

When having the stitches removed and mumbling ‘ouch’, the nurse said ‘well, it is self inflicted’! I was speechless!

It was not a ‘cosmetic’ want. It was a medical need! I waited a long time to be able to afford the surgery.

Meanwhile, dealt with neck and back pain, and frequent falls (which stopped post surgery). Having a breast reduction is not a ‘cosmetic’ decision. The scarring alone proves that. Mine is still pretty bad, 6 years post op.
