Love my breast reduction!!

by CKP

I am in 100% agreement with all of the reviews before mine!

I am a 40 year old woman who has been researching breast reduction for the past 15 years. I had been a comfortable C cup during my teens and college years but began growing despite maintaining my same weight and after the birth of my daughter I was up to a 32DDD. After a year of breast feeding and subsequent weening I expected my chest to become smaller but this never happened, and the past 6 years have been a nightmare of hospital visits and medical therapy to control the back and neck pain I have had.

Once I knew I was done having children I immediately began making appts for consults with surgeons I had heard and read about for years. All were doctors who are said to be top breast surgeons in NYC and I was impressed with all of them during my mtgs, even seeing one twice for a 2nd consult before thinking I would choose him. At the end of the day though, something I couldn't put my finger on held me back from committing to any of them and they had all emphasized the scarring I would have as a result of the traditional technique they were accustomed to performing. As a result, I decided to do some more research on a newer procedure that I had started reading about called the Lejour vertical reduction, which produces 50% less scarring. It's a relatively newer procedure compared to the traditional anchor technique and therefore there are fewer surgeons who truly specialize in it. In doing my research and reading countless reviews of these surgeons, I noticed the same few names mentioned over and over as being the experts in this technique. Dr. Walden was consistently top of the list so I scheduled a consultation.

After a half hour with Dr. Walden I had no question in my mind she was the one for me and I called to schedule a surgery date the next morning. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Like the other reviewers on here have said, everything about her - her staff, work environment, the hospital she operates in - is absolutely top-notch. From the respect they show for your time when you have appts and the non-hurried time they spend with you while there addressing your questions, to the competence and extraordinary surgical skills Dr. Walden has in spades - I never once felt anything other than excitement about having this procedure done with her.

I am now just over 3 weeks post-op and I couldn't be happier with my results. My breasts are the ones my husband and I remember from college, only better. My recovery has been a breeze and they look absolutely beautiful (or as my husband says, "outrageously hot" :) and the incisions are as delicate and fine as they come.

Dr. Walden and her practice are a female patient's dream come true and I will absolutely return to her again should the need or want for any other procedure ever arise! She's the best of the best in my opinion!

• Pros: Outstanding surgeon & aesthetic results; great staff
• Cons: None

Amazing & Highly Recommended

I am beyond ecstatic with my results!

For many years I had contemplated getting breast augmentation. I live in Manhattan; therefore, choosing a doctor in the city seemed like it would be a difficult task due to the vast amount of plastic surgeons that practice in the city. However, I knew Dr. Walden was the doctor for me the first time I came across her name in one of my “New Beauty” magazines. Instantly, I experienced a great gut feeling, which was later confirmed during my initial consultation.

Prior to this office visit, I had researched Dr. Walden's website extensively and was extremely impressed with the amount of information provided on her site.

Additionally, I was equally impressed to discover the numerous media appearance she has made, expert opinion contributions featured in many well-known magazines and Dr. Walden's dedication to her philanthropy work.

From the minute I walked into her office for my consultation to the minute I left the hospital after my surgery I knew I had selected the right doctor and practice.

Everyone involved helped to make my experience pleasant and full of reassurance. From Olivia’s (Dr. Walden's front desk coordinator) friendly voice to Janie’s (Dr. Walden's medical assistant) kind smile and Sarah’s (Dr. Walden's RN) constant professionalism and willingness to always take the time to return my phone calls promptly and answer my numerous e-mails and questions. I could have not have asked for a better group of people to help me go through the process.

In addition, the wonderful staff at MEETH were equally as fabulous. They were so kind, very organized and made me feel 150% comfortable!

Dr. Walden is truly the best! In addition to my positive experience, throughout the process I am unbelievable happy with my results!!! Dr. Walden's willingness to listen to my wants and advise me about my options are very much appreciated and her kindness, knowledge and talent are valued and respected!

I could not have asked for a better doctor, experience and final results. I would recommend Dr. Walden and her staff to anyone any day!

• Pros: Excellent Doctor, Wonderful Staff, Amazing Results
• Cons: None!
