“I love my new look”

Anyone who is considering breast augmentation should definitely see Dr. Lowen. There were many fine plastic surgeons in my area to choose from, but I had heard so many positive things about Dr. Lowen from others who traveled from out of town that I also decided to make the journey for my surgery. Now that I have gone through it, it was definitely the right decision!

The morning of my surgery, I was very nervous, but was reassured when several of the nurses at the surgery center volunteered the information that Dr. Lowen is a perfectionist, with a reputation for sometimes taking longer in surgery until he has it absolutely perfect. They said “he’s definitely the one you want.”

My surgery was a breeze. When I awoke, I was surprised that I wasn’t wrapped all up in bandages – just steri-strips where the incisions were. I went home and rested that day and evening, woke the next morning and was able to move around quite easily, took a shower and washed my hair. (Dr. Lowen said this would be OK) By that evening, I was feeling great and was actually bored from laying around the house, so we went out to dinner! Then I went to a luncheon on Sunday afternoon and was back to work on Monday. I couldn’t believe it… I had been told by so many people to expect to be in a lot of pain and out of commission for at least a week or more. I also didn’t have to wear any sort of a funky “strap” for a month to keep the implants from “riding too high”. I asked Dr. Lowen why this was, and he said if the implants are placed correctly there is no need to do this.

I love my new look – )Dr. Lowen really listened to my requests and achieved exactly what I wanted. And, I honestly believe my experience and results would have been different had I not gone to Dr. Lowen. He really is a perfectionist – just ask any of the nurses at the surgery center.
