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.

Update - Revision Required!
Like you always hear - you need to wait at least 6 months to evaluate your final results!
Unfortunately, I am still saggy/droopy and my breast lift needs to be revised. During my post op appts when I brought up my concerns in regards to sag and the leftover excess skin that was not removed he didn't really take it too seriously...I ended up seeing his partner Dr. Kunaal Jindal in May for a follow up / ba consult - this was because the office said Edelstein was on a leave of absence so his patients would be seeing him instead and that if I still wanted the ba then Dr.Jindal would be the one doing it (I wasn't sure how I was going to like him so I did book consults with other docs in the area as it seemed that things kept being pushed back, delayed & I was tired of waiting) When I consulted with the other docs they all basically said the same thing - you need another lift and adding impants without it will be a disaster.
So, May finally comes and I see Dr.Jindal..at 1st he was hesitant to make any comments on Edelstein's work but after a few minutes he mentioned that he did not agree with the docs who told me that I would need another full anchor style lift (told him I saw 5 other surgeons and I named them all) and that he thinks I just need the lollipop lift. He also told me he would not be able to do a ba on me due to the current state of them & on top of that mentioned that he would have to charge me full price for another lift so he recommended waiting for Dr.E to come back as he would be the best one to do it and it'd also be cheaper for me (makes sense as he is the one who operated on me)
I finally saw Dr. E again in Oct and he finally acknowledged that my breast are still droopy and that I need another lift! They look the same way they did at the 6/7 month post op appt and back then when I brought up the issue again he said everything looked good & that they just needed to heal more. I honestly think that if I didn't see his partner and if dr jindaal hadn't written notes in regards to the revision in my file he'd still be telling me everything is fine *sigh* Anway, Dr.Edelstein gave me 2 options: 1. I can get a ba done under the muscle, come back for a lift after it heals and I wouldn't have to pay the full price for secondary lift (2 separate surgeries) 2. Go over the muscle which "may" help lift them (1 surgery).
Before I left the office I asked the front desk if I could have in writing that if I go with option #1 that I wouldn't have to pay the full price for a lift (did not want to get screwed over just in case he forgot as at the very 1st consult I told him that I do not want overs and he told me he would do the under the muscle approach for me so it seems as though he forgot that as the 2nd option he gave included overs ? & I also saw a review online after my surgery that mentioned he promised to fix something and he didn't) so she (Heather) asked and he said no...she and another lady did say that there was nothing to worry about as he keeps his word.
I thought over my options and I emailed the office / Heather 2 days later with my choice which was #1. I was basically told that it was no longer an option because he thinks overs would be better (WHAT!?) I also asked if revising the lift 1st and then doing the ba would be possible or just revising the lift and I was told no ??? really
SO basically Dr.Edelstein acknowledges that my breast are still saggy and need to be revised BUT
refuses to revise the lift/stand by the work that he did. Why? I have no idea
I have seen some the surgeons again that I initially saw before meeting his partner and they are basically surprised that he won't fix them.
Anywho, I just thought I'd update as I haven't in awhile so hopefully, this helps anyone considering him for the same procedure or a procedure in general ...because If I knew something like this happened to someone else then I wouldn't of went with him.
Honestly, I just wish @ the time that I was not scared of going under and was so focused on choosing a surgeon who operated in the hospital + I wish he would just stand by his own work as the fault is not on my end...I choose a reputable surgeon and never did I think I'd have one of those "my surgeon refuses to revise his work" situations.
I will be getting a revision done by another Dr and will prob. post another review when that happens. If you have any questions you can send me a message

2 weeks post op
Got the ends of the sutures cut and the steri strips changed on Wednesday & I can remove the strips and begin scar treatment when they start to loosen up.
The nurse said the incisions look really good so I'm really looking forward to seeing them as I haven’t yet.
The wrinkling I was experiencing got slightly worse (I guess because swelling went down ?) so I asked about that and showed him & he says it’s fine so I will try to stop freaking out about it lol..apart from that there haven’t been any major changes.
My next follow up appt will be at the 2 month mark with the nurse and then I will see the surgeon again at 6 months post op.

1 week post op
The 1st week went by very fast! I had my 1st post op appt on the 21st and got some of the strips changed. I am no longer sleeping inclined and the only thing I am taking is Arnica.
Aunt flow has showed up 2.5 weeks early and in full force! I did read that this is normal after surgery so besides that the only other thing I am experiencing is decrease in appetite which I've read is normal too.
I do have a love/hate relationship with the left side...love the right side a lot better :) The right side does wrinkle when I lay to the side which had me freaking out for a bit so I emailed the nurse and she says it's normal.
Overall I'm happy! My boobs look a lot better than before & don't point south anymore :)
