First off let me say this is a kick-ass thread! I’ve been putting up posts every now and again trying to find a good surgeon in Southern California but only a few names ever came up and they all had their flaws. I live at the beach in San Diego and just can’t believe that there aren’t competent surgeons in the area that can pull this off. I mean seriously go to the beach in San Diego, Orange County, or LA and at least 50% of the people (guys and girls) have model bodies. I workout hard 3-5 times a week and still can’t get the body I want (plus I have mild gyno w/ gland). I’m guessing people get these bodies by luck of genetics, steroids, cosmetic surgery, or all of the above. I would think they’re getting their work done in Southern Cali and not flying to Texas or elsewhere in the country for it. I mean don’t most Hollywood actors live in LA?! There have got to be some incredible surgeons in the area!
Anyways, I wanted to throw a name out that hasn’t been mentioned in this thread. The name is Dr. Anne Wallace at UCSD. I have not met with her but would like to. The only reason I even know about this doctor is from another member’s posts on this forum (his username is removethese and I believe he said his surgery was around $5K). This guy seemed to do his homework and spoke highly of his results with Dr. Wallace. He also posted pictures
http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n30/nomogyno/. To quote some of his posts he mentions:
“Her breast knowledge is second-to-none in my opinion ... she's been working on breast-related problems for 19 years I think. UCSD is world-renowned for its medical facilities, research, and doctors; you'll see that she fits right in.”
“I found a real interesting plastic surgeon at UCSD; Dr. Anne Wallace. She's the breast specialist there, and apparently she does amazing work on both men and women from what I've been told by other people in the UCSD medical department.
She makes two small cuts on the outer edge of areola, and first lipos everything to remove the fat. Whatever remains is glandular tissue, which she then uses scissor-like tools to cut it out and remove it from the small incisions. She says her technique barely leaves any scars.
She seems very trustworthy because this is not a private practice like many of these other plastic surgeons. The money you pay goes directly to the UCSD medical center. She gets paid on a salary I'm assuming.”
I’ve talked to my primary care doctor about plastic surgeons and she recommended Dr. Smoot at Scripps La Jolla, Dr. Brian Reagan, Dr. Michael Halls. I heard Smoot from a few different physicians so I went in for a consultation with him. He seems nice but I don’t believe he does this procedure often. From my research on the other doctors I get the same feeling (I guess the big business in So Cal is breast implants).
Anyways, I picked up a good job last year and think I’ll be able to afford this surgery (since I know my insurance isn’t going to pick it up). I want the
BEST surgeon and
BEST results! I know price is an issue but think about it, I would definitely pay $2-$3K more if it meant solid results without scarring. Think about it this is your body! I know we’re all on the same page here and I think the group discount is an awesome idea! I just don’t want it to come at the price of a mediocre surgeon with mediocre results.
