It has taken me a few years to get the courage to write this review, but here it goes...
I thought that I liked that Doctor Siwy seemed really matter of fact and kept thinking to myself she is just being honest. But thinking back ,she made me feel really small and stupid for questioning her work.
I had scar tissue that had formed in my right breast (from another surgeon) that had formed over time and was really apparent after giving birth to my twins.
I went to see her for this and a tummy tuck. She was recommended by my family physician, who I trust. So her bedside manner was something I just brushed off and I trusted his recommendation.
My mistake.
She scraped the right breast scar tissue,refilled my saline and did the tummy tuck.
When I went in for my check up I told her there was a bubble in my implant, she pretty much shrugged it off and said "that happens, nothing is perfect." Then she made me feel bad for mentioning it, making me seem vain. When I was merely concerned.

My tummy tuck is unlike any tummy tucks I have seen. I have two pooches of skin at the end of my huge scar, that no matter how much I work out, will not go away. My belly button is a werid off center hole in the middle of my stomach.
It has really done a number on my self esteem. She was very dismissive about my concerns. I shouldn't have to settle with all of this, but I do now. I should have fought it more. But she had an answer for everything. Basically making me feel like a vain little girl.
I am planning on getting my breast redone this year. (By another surgeon)
If you are doing ethier of these procedures, you now know my story. There are many success stories above, I am very happy for them. But that was not my experience and I felt I should share.
