Cosmetic Surgery Q & A (2)

I am interested in a breast reduction procedure but am worried by the scars I have seen in a number of different surgeons’ port folios. I have heard that you do a hidden scar technique and would like to learn more about it.

There are a number of different techniques available for breast reduction and uplift procedures and some of the newer ones definitely involve less visible scarring. A plastic surgeon really cannot tell a person which technique they would be candidates for without seeing you in person. I will include a letter and photo graph I just received from a happy patient who recently underwent just such a procedure and will include it here for your information. If you have any questions about these procedures, your best bet would be to see a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon to review your options. Please feel free to contact our office at 949- 888- 9700 if you have any further questions.

Dear Dr. Bunkis,

I wanted to write to you to tell you how much I truly appreciate what you did for me. I really feel like you changed my life.

I have spent most of my life feeling overweight and unattractive. Even with diet and exercise, I could never quite achieve the look I always longed for. I knew a tummy tuck was what I needed but I just wasn’t prepared for how much I would love it. And I especially didn’t realize what a dramatic effect a breast lift would have on my appearance.

I think the work you did on me was beautiful. I couldn’t be any happier. I really liked the technique you used for my breast lift that eliminated the scar from the areola down. I have never seen that done before and didn’t even know it was possible. I can’t imagine that it was going to get any better. But you say it will and so far every thing you have said has been right on the money.

I think you are a brilliant surgeon and a wonderful person. You made me feel extremely comfortable and I always look forward to seeing you. I also want you to know that your staff is amazing. They really helped to make the experience all the more pleasurable. And your offices are beautiful too.

It is my pleasure to refer my friends and family to you. And if and when I need any other work done, I will be seeing you again. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.

Fondly,
Carol
