Arizona Surgeons! Who Should I see?

[csjkj]

Hello, I'm new to this site and still tring to figure it out! I was wondering if anyone has gone to Dr. Shaw I hear alot about him by word of mouth but I'm unable to find anyone on here that has used him! I'm up for any suggestions that anyone may have. I'm just starting to make appts. HELP! HELP!

I highly recommend my PS, Dr. Cohen. There is a link to his page on this site in my siggy below. You can access his website from there. He is a sponsor of this site and is board certified (as are all the sponsors here).

He is a wonderful, caring Dr. His staff is amazing as well. I've seen him every single time I've been in his office and not an assistant. He is very attentive and has a great bedside manner. He has quite an impressive CV and credentials.

I absolutely LOVE him!

Feel free to ask me any questions. I'm happy to help.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Shaw but would recommend Dr. Borsand at Body Sculpting Center in Scottsdale. I really like him and his staff. He specializes in the 24 hour recovery technique and though it's still surgery, my recovery time was amazing. Let me know if you have any questions or I suggest checking out their website.

Dr Shaw is very good from what I've seen and heard. I was actually between him and Dr John Corey. I ultimately went with Corey, as I loved his after pics, his extreme comfort with the armpit incision, his fabulous attention to detail (he was the ONLY surgeon out of 4 I went to to inform me of the inch difference between my breasts- all others said "perfect!" and wanted to use the same cc's in both breasts), and he took so much time with me pre and post op (u can email him directly and he always responds within 12 hrs).
I had complete trust in his ability, and this made going into surgery so much more stress free!!!
Take a look at his website, or schedule a consult- I don't think u will be disappointed! Www.doctorcorey.com

My PS was Dr. Turkeltaub. I LOVE my new breasts. I went from a very deflated B (probably an A, really) to a full C/small D. It looks very natural. A friend of mine who knew I was having surgery never had a desire for augmentation, although most of her other friends have implants, she did not like the fake look. Well right after seeing mine, she booked her consult and a just had her BA 5 days ago. He is a perfectionist. But if you like the huge, fake look, you might have to convince him that is what you really want. He likes them to look natural.

I have another friend whose PS was Dr. Corey. Her boobs are amazing too. He does have nice before and after photos.

I do highly recommend Dr. Turkeltaub. He is a perfectionist, & I am grateful for that.

Hey Thanks that helped alot. Today I went to Dr. Shaw and I found out I have to have a lift with implants. Well when I saw how much I started to get depressed but on the other hand if you keep going to more and more consults your giving away the money for it. Do you know about how much?

[CAINAZ]

When You say how much, are you referring to consult fees or the actual BA?

Did you feel comfortable with Dr. Shaw? Are you considering more consults to see if the price drops?

I went on 2 consults, but I went with the Dr. that I clicked with. I just knew Dr. Cohen was the surgeon for me. I can tell you that my BA/BL was right at $8K if that helps any.

If you are comfortable with Dr. Shaw and you really like him, then I'd go with him. However, if you are questioning whether or not you actually need a lift, then it would be good to go on a few more consults.

Dr. Shaw office was great just didn't like that fact you don't meet Dr. Shaw until you make a pre-op appt and before you can do that you have to put 10% down. I was quoted $11,000.00 total for BA/BL. I think that I'm going to make appt. with Dr.Cohen. Was your 8000 total?

That's just one of the many reasons I love Dr. Cohen. I saw him on my consult and he spent A LOT of time with me. He answered all my questions, spent tons of time going over the procedures and what he could do for me. He even drew examples for me on his laptop. I have seen him every single visit and I've had a lot over the past year.

Here is the breakdown of my fees (don't you tell him I told you everything. LOL! )

Breast Augmentation/Circumareolar Mastopexy (lift) $4500
Breast Implant - Silicone $2000
Valley Anesthesia $986
Facility Fee $1150

He gave me the pain pump and the bra for free, as well as knocked $650 off his surgeon's fee, for a clergy discount, as my DH is a pastor. (Total discount was $1202.00)

He uses only board certified anesthesiologists.

So, the total cost of the surgery was $7986.00. The $100 consult fee came off of that and I had to pay $500 when I booked, which also came off the total. The balance was due at my pre-op.

He is a wonderful PS and as I said before, I highly recommend him! He has a very calming demeanor. Tell him I said hello when you meet him. My name is Carol Anne.

You have great recommendations here already. I love Dr. Stephen Beals. He is off of Jackrabbit too in Scottsdale. He is great at natural looking breasts. He is such a kind doctor. He sees you every time and you feel you are his only patient that day. He also does craniofacial surgery - I had to have some jaw surgery 8 years ago (4 1/2 hrs long). He is an amazing surgeon! Definitely worth having a consultation!

Good luck, you have some great names here to choose from...

[CAINAZ]

I think Dr. Beals is also in the same complex as Dr. Cohen. Seems like I've seen his name when driving into the complex.

I realize it's been a month since the last post, but I was curious if you had gone to any consults? I'm going with Dr. Corey for my BA.

[Mode101]

Hi! I just saw your post! Let me know if you have any questions at all, as I used Dr. Corey

[AZEA]

How did your scars heal? (I'm assuming you have armpit incisions.) I didn't have the steristrips just glue.

[Mode101]

Hello!
My scars are healing very well! I had dissolvable stitches and steri strips. They were long incisions, and very pink for the first months, but now they are turning white and fading in very well. I am very pleased How are you healing?

[AZEA]

I'm doing pretty good. One incision is still red and one is pink. I saw Dr. Corey yesterday and he didn't seem to worried so I guess I shouldn't be. I started my massaging yesterday. It's a little sore when I push them together but it doesn't hurt per se.

[Mode101]

Mine were pink for a looong time, but healed amazing well. I was so scared of infection that I sprayed my armpits with Bactein every day for 1 month!!! I also couldnt bring myself to shave for 2 months (my poor boyfriend lol!)
