this is my case above. has anyone heard anything about dr. joseph a. starr ? i cudnt find anything on him on this forum, and not much on google. he said my surgery will be free, covered by ohip. im 20+
but he said he wont do lipo, my case isnt that bad he noted. guys take a look at pics n let me know if i have alot of fat or not?
he will take out gland, but not completely, he said its impossible to take everything out, he can only improve the look.if he takes all out  i will have cater,i suppose thts wat he meant. not sure though cuz he used hand gestures. didnt mention anything about post-op vest, maybe i wont need it. any ideas?
i scheduled surgery on mid april. i also booked appt wit dr. fielding in end or march, lets see wat he says. so im thinkin if its a good idea to go under knife free but no lipo. does anyone have any idea how its gonna look "less gland, no lipo"?
thnks in advance guys.

i dunno dude, it looks like you do have some fat.

i would encourage you to check your options before going under the knife.

i met with a plastic surgeon that i was not happy with, and have since scheduled surgery with another.

you've lived with this condition long enough that you should do your research first.

I'm no expert, but your gyne looks like there's some fat mixed in there as well which would need to be lipo'd out. Also, I would definitely look to go with someone who has alot of independently verifiable experience. Did this Dr. Starr have pre and post op pics of former patients to show you?

Who did you meet with?

I first met with a Dr. Kaila.  I didn't have a good feeling coming out of his office.  I was under so much pressure I felt like I was at a used car dealership.

I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Lista, and he was able to show me a lot of pre/post-op pics.

Hello J! If you are talking about Dr Starr on Sheppard, then you stole my mid April appointment:) i scheduled for a week later, but i also had trouble finding any feedback on him, which is rather suspicious, but he did say that he has done many. My appointment was very brief, I'm not sure if that a good or a bad thing... either way i found this link, which made me worried http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/64739/ON/Toronto/Starr, it does not look good, but there is no contact info, so I'm not sure if they are talking about the same doctor. please let me know if you get any info on him, since I'm also 20 and also getting a reduction, but I'm a girl and my boobies are rather precious to me:) At first I didn't bother researching since my family doctor recommended him and his office is in a hospital, so it all looks and sounds legit, but I'm wondering if that's not a wise thought.  Thanks, Kat

You are right... it does not look good for this doc...
