I trusted Dr. Morimoto to redo my breast augmentation. My first surgery had been done 15 years…read moreearlier in Florida by Dr. Messa, and I was ready to go a size bigger. I knew I wanted silicone implants, fullness at the top, and for them to sit close together--just like they were before nursing my kids. Dr. Morimoto seemed confident in her ability, and after waiting and saving for years, I was excited. After surgery, I couldn't wait to see the results. But when I was finally allowed to unwrap them, I was heartbroken. They didn't look any bigger than before, and I knew they were still swollen. My right breast was also black and blue. I called the office, and Dr. Morimoto told me she could redo them--for almost another $5,000. I felt stuck. If I went somewhere else, I'd have to pay the full price all over again. At the time, I was actively competing in bodybuilding, and most other doctors wouldn't even see me for at least six months to allow for healing. Dr. Morimoto said it would be better to go back in quickly, before scar tissue formed. After several conversations, I agreed to have her redo them and paid the additional $2,800 we had agreed upon. But on the morning of the surgery, I got an email from her office saying I wouldn't be happy with the outcome. I panicked. Just hours before surgery, I spoke with Dr. Morimoto again, expressing all of my concerns and asking why I received that message. She reassured both me and my husband, swearing she understood what I wanted and could deliver those results. I went through with the second surgery--and I wish I never had. Yes, they were bigger. But they were heavy and saggy, and I ended up with stretch marks near my armpits. My breasts looked like "rocks in a sock." My nipples pointed in different directions, and I felt like Sid from Ice Age. I even had a nightmare about it. I know that may sound silly, but I had put so much time, money, and effort into my body. I was devastated. My husband was so kind through all of it. We scheduled a video consult with Dr. Messa--the same surgeon who did my original procedure in Florida. I had wanted to go back to him in the first place, but traveling for surgery was difficult and expensive. After many conversations with my husband, we decided it was worth it. I flew to Florida for surgery, and the difference was unbelievable. My results are beautiful. I had hardly any swelling, and the healing process was night and day compared to what I went through before. Even my husband said, "Wow--what a huge difference."

I had been told by other surgeons that all that could be done in order for me to have a breast on my right side, would be to do "flap reconstruction" because I didn't have much breast tissue left due to too many surgeries to the right breast. This would've entailed one week of hospitalization and about $100,000. that I would never be able to afford, and my health insurance wouldn't cover it because it wasn't medically necessary. I was so discouraged and figured I would just have to spend the rest of my life with only one breast. I then found Dr. Stiller. Dr. Stiller was very pleasant, helpful, answered all my questions, and his staff is unbelievably kind and attentive. Dr. Stiller, said he could reconstruct my breast with a small breast implant and fat grafting. I left his office that day full of hope. Dr. Stiller is not only a very talented surgeon, but he is also an artist. I have had two successful surgeries. First, I had a tummy tuck with liposuction, breast revision with lift (left breast), and breast augmentation (right breast; for the second surgery Dr. Stiller suggested I wait 3 months after the first surgery to allow the tissue to heal before doing fat transplant to the right breast to complete reconstruction. Dr. Stiller and his staff are unbelievably wonderful, informative and extremely caring. Recovery after my second surgery a week ago, is going well for me, no problems whatsoever. Not only did I have reconstructive surgery to my breast, but I now have an hourglass figure, that allows me to wear anything with much confidence! absolutely recommend Dr. Stiller! He is truly an artist, and I will definitely return to him in the future if I want or need another procedure. I am very impressed with this team of professionals, they work smoothly together and provide the best service to deliver exceptional result.

Once upon a time, I had a nose job. YA RLY!…read more This review is about eleven years late (yes, I was fourteen) but there was no Yelp then. I don't think I even had the internet yet for that matter. Isn't this the best, though? A long-term review of a cosmetic surgery? Everyone wants to know what they can expect after the fact, and this, my friends, is what to expect from Dr. Adams. We were referred to Dr. Adams by my dad's boss - his wife was a surgical nurse in the office and recommended him highly. (of course she did, for all I know, he signed her paycheck.) Well, from what I remember of the process, Dr. Adams was amazing. As was his entire staff. He understood that this process scared the ba-jesus out of me. I wasn't totally aware of what has happening at every visit. I had (real!) Polaroids taken of my face from every possible angle. This was a pain in the ass, but I am glad, now, because hey... who wants Michael Jackson's nose? 'Eh? Anyway, I felt like the whole thing proceeded quickly. (for the record, I didn't have much say in whether or not I'd have the operation.) But he explained everything I was to expect, and all other details that celebrity rags and tv shows never elaborate on. I didn't sleep the night before (duh) and was extremely nervous for the whole thing. We arrived at his office and we got all the paperwork and pre-op stuff taken care of. I remember the nurse (dad's boss's spouse) talking to me while I was about to go under. She was so, so sweet and comforting. I remember that she held my hands and asked me questions about school. And then I woke up. All at once, I realized I'd fallen asleep in the middle of our conversation and was struck with just how rude it must have seemed! I now realize that I was 14, and she probably didn't care and wasn't offended in the slightest... at any rate. The post-surgical staff tended to me quickly after I woke up. I was told that I could expect severe black eyes for about two weeks or more... but that a cold compress would help with the swelling. I went home the same day, and promptly threatened to barf all over the car from the.... drainage... down the back. (Since I was stitched and bandaged up the wazoo in front.) I remember sleeping for the better part of three days, then at some point removing the bandaging under my nose. I did not have any bruises OR swelling! I'm a medical miracle! A few weeks later, Dr. Adams took out my stitches (FYI - second most painful experience I've ever had in my whole life) and bandages and told me more of what I could expect to see and experience from here on out. Eleven years later, I am not shy about my experience and LOVE shocking people when I tell them. "You? Nooooo that's not a rhinoplasty!" Yes, my friends, it is.

I have gone back and forth about writing a review here but after giving it much thought, have…read moredecided that letting others know about my experience is ultimately a good thing. Two years ago, I purchased a Groupon for Tumescent Liposuction on two areas at Aesthetic Rejuvenation by Dr. Brecht for my upper arms. I want to preface this review with the fact that Dr. Brecht did say at my consultation that a lot of the "fat" on my upper arms was actually just loose skin and indicated that I may need something more like an arm lift, where the hanging skin is removed. All of my pre-op appointments with Dr. Brecht and her team were fine. I found them to be accommodating and more than willing to answer any of my questions. The ambiance of the office is quite relaxing too. My surgery was on November 5, 2015. I began to notice that something was wrong a few days after my surgery. For some reason, my left arm was tremendously more painful than my right and the two of them even looked different. My left arm looked as though there were stitches right above my armpit. There was dried blood. I truly, truly felt as though something had gone wrong with my left arm (and I still feel that way).  Worried, I called the office a few weeks later and Dr. Brecht called me back personally. She indicated that there were no stitches and that it was normal for one side of the body to heal better than the other, that since I am left handed that may be why that side is hurting more than the other, that you cannot begin to see your final results until at least 3 months into the healing process. She said that nothing had gone wrong during the procedure. At my first post-op appointment on November 21, 2015, I mentioned to Dr. Brecht again that my left arm looked considerably different than my right. Again, she said that it is normal for the arm to look like that and that I shouldn't worry until 3 months post-op. At my second post-op appointment on January 9, 2016, I mentioned the issue with my arm again to Dr. Brecht. We were just over the 3-month mark and I was still concerned. Her answer was that I shouldn't be concerned until 3 months post-op. I was a little concerned that she said that, as 1) we were past the 3-month mark, and 2) how did she not know that? When I told her we were past that mark, she opened my chart, was quiet for a minute, looked up and said it was 6 months that I should wait. So. Here I am. Two years later. Still concerned. Still wishing I knew what went wrong with my left arm that day. As Dr. Brecht had mentioned, the procedure did not remove the loose skin and I am okay with that. Despite the bit of loose skin, I am very pleased with the results of my right arm. However, running my hand over my left forearm, you can feel actual indents, as though some of the muscle was sucked out somehow. You can see these indentations if you look at my arm. There is a deep line down my arm, as though I was cut and it is scarred. The color of my skin on my left arm is even weird.  I lost faith in Dr. Brecht the day she told me at my 3-month appointment that it was normal for my arm to look like that until 3 months post-op. I did not go back. I would not recommend others for this type of procedure. Her unwillingness to recognize that something looked off on my left arm shows that she does not truly care about her patients. ‌

Surgery date: July 2nd, 2020…read more So the world started falling apart around us, and I had this "a-ha!" Moment where I decided I was finally going to get a breast augmentation. I'm 25 for some background- and had my first child at 19. Breastfeeding in combo with my fluctuating weight really did a number on my breasts- something that made me self conscious for years. One thing you've got to know is that the breast augs aren't performed with general anesthesia and in a lot of ways it is better that way. Dr. B used a numbing "breast block" in combination with some medication for pain/relaxation (I don't remember what they were but I had already showed up dosed up, that by the time I arrived to my surgery day, I felt like I was walking on clouds lol) so the other meds were for further relaxation and rightfully so. Even though I couldn't feel pain, only pressure from the implants, I got a little squirmy. I've seen reviews about people complaining about getting cuffed to the bed by their wrists, but as it is an AWAKE procedure, it's for everyone's best interests. I was, during the operation, consumed with emotion, but was comforted and told that I'm looking great and I'm in good hands. My emotions were both fear that I wouldn't look good and happiness that I just might! I put all my trust into my doc! Dr. Brecht even had no qualms about exchanging my previously decided 650 cc implants for 600 cc, and I'm so glad she could accommodate that because anything bigger than what I have now would be a little too big. This is perfect. Per the doctor's orders, I wear my compression bra alllllllll the time, eat a well balanced diet high in protein, and work out lightly without bouncing or lifting anything over my head. Ellipticals are your friend! The follow up appointments were so nice. I almost didn't make it to my first one the day after because I was so sore but my awesome boyfriend got me there and took it really slow. The staff at aesthetic rejuvenation understood whole heartedly and urged me to come in but to take my time as to not hurt myself! I don't look back on my surgery and think "wow that was almost a week of pain" because it was a week of me being cared for and pushed for the end result. Something I'm used to as an athlete. I want Dr. Brecht and the whole staff to know that I'm healing so well and feel like a million bucks. It'll only get better with time! One thing I would let a first time breast aug patient know is that in order to look like that girl you see on instagram or come even close to it, you've gotta go through some ugly stuff. I was wheeled out to my boyfriend after surgery and he looked terrified!!! He said I looked like I had "really been through it" but that's what any invasive cosmetic surgery will do. The pain was so bad for me, but I think it was worse for me than for others because I live a very active lifestyle in combination with weight training and my chest muscles that the implants were placed under I know for a fact were really tight! I came prepared to surgery day with all of my pain killers, anti-anxiey meds, antibiotics, etc that the doctor prescribed so I was all set to be dosed up for a week! It's all worth it I promise! If you can suck it up to being awake for something like this, it's pretty exciting. I also wanna mention that I appreciate an all female staff! I felt 10x more comfortable without a man telling me what would look best on me, which had happened at other consultations. Dr. Brecht let ME decide and I have zero regrets, only happiness! She's been available round the clock via Gmail for all of my questions and concerns and her staff are very personable as well. Like I would go out to drinks with those ladies that's how personable they are. Thank you Dr. & staff!
