Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

I am 30 yrs old and located in Florida. I am currently interviewing Drs and have talked to CGCosmetics and south Florida center for cosmetic surgery... Both of which are in Miami. I also have consults coming up for dr. Landon and dr. Fakhre both are in Tampa. I guess what I'm asking for is help from all of you to help me find a dr in Florida. Who would you reccommend and why? Who should I avoid and why? Please help me decide who I should trust with this surgery :). Thank you so much for your help and support!!
Consults
So here is where I am so far in my search for a Florida plastic surgeon... I've had two "virtual" consultations with two Miami offices. First was the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery (I have a friend that got her BA done here and got great results). I basically emailed them pictures of my breasts and told whoever I was emailing what I was looking for (which is how important symmetry is to me) and they emailed me back with a quote of $4,498. They didn't really tell me what that covered or any details really, just that if I wanted to reserve that price I needed to send a deposit.
Next, was CGCosmetics (my sister-in-law went here and warned me that they get you in and out and hardly speak to you). It was exactly the same experience as the previous place, where I sent pics of my breasts through an email and told them what I was looking for. They emailed me back and told me if I just wanted silicone implants it would be $3500. But if I was worried about symmetry it would be $4500.
*** side note: I went to a consult 6 years ago after I finished breastfeeding my first child. I was told at that consult that one areola was slightly larger than the other from breastfeeding and it would need to be fixed to have symmetry. Well I never followed through with BA at that time. Fast forward 6 years, I've had 2 more children. The differences in symmetry are hardly noticeable but I can see when looking in the mirror that one areola/nipple sits slightly higher than the other. So since I have yet to sit with an actual PS, all I can do is express this concern over emails to these Miami offices. Not feeling very confident about these two places.***
So, since the Miami offices are very hands off and from reviews I've read on realself about how they run business, I have set up two consults with two different Tampa PS's. I will be going to New Tampa Plastic Surgery and actually sitting down and talking to Dr. G. Peter Fakhre on May 10. So far I have had a wonderful experience with this office and Dr. Fakhre has remarkable reviews everywhere. I have yet to find a bad review for him.
Then, on May 12 I will be going to Landon Plastic Surgery and meeting with Dr. Landon. I have had a great experience with the office coordinator Jennifer. She is quick to reply to calls or emails. One thing that caught my attention about this office is that they have In-house financing instead of having to go through CareCredit or other places like that (they still offer that option as well, for those that would rather go through a company like that).
I'm very excited and a little nervous for these next two consults. But I want to know I'm making an educated decision when I choose my PS, which is why I'm going to multiple places and Dr's. I know Miami will probably be cheaper. I'm hoping that Tampa is not way more expensive. But I'd rather pay more to get the results I want than to pay less and end up with breasts I hate.
Anyone else feel this way? Can anyone give me any advice?

Provider Review
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Fakhre! The entire process has been perfect and I'm so thankful I chose him for my procedure. I got absolutely perfect results! I will recommend him to everyone! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!!
