I am so grateful for the surgical skills of Dr. Burgess and for the compassion, patience and support she and the entire staff of Burgess Plastic Surgery provided as I went through a bilateral breast implant removal and mastoplexy (breast lift).
The decision to have my breast implants removed and not replaced was a difficult decision for me that required a lot of information gathering and patience to reach. I had breast augmentation surgery in 1978, so after more than 40 years, the implants were an important part of my self-image. By removing them, I was told I would be essentially flat chested; 32 C/D cup bra to a silky camisole. It was hard to imagine and accept.
Dr. Burgess and the nurses were straight-forward and thorough in telling me what I could expect, the truth, the whole truth with compassionate understanding. They demonstrated on me what a mastoplexy would do for me to make me look more natural after removing the implants. I especially appreciate that now as I adjust to the new me. The long list about potential problems of the surgery to read and sign acceptance was frightening, but I got every question or concern about them addressed. Dr. Burgess herself and her staff were available to me as I worked through the decision I was about to make. By the time of surgery I was confident about the surgery and about my decision.
Over the 40 years, I have had implant replacements done by other plastic surgeons with varying degrees of satisfaction. But this time, I had all the information I needed to go through the procedure and know that I made the right decision in selecting a plastic surgeon.
