Surgeon Testimonial

Adam Naaman, M.D.

I started this journey 3 years ago and Dr. Naaman was my first choice. However, I decided to interview surgeon's just to make sure I was making the right choice.

Once I met Dr. Naaman I realized he was the one! He is a very quiet man and doesn't say much but, you can tell he really listens to you. He answered any and all questions I had. I have several friends that have had surgery with him and have done remarkable.

His skill is awesome! On a scale of 1-10 I would rate him a 10.

Dr. Naaman doesn't sugar coat anything for you. He tells you how it is and what is expected of you. He makes sure you are willing to comply with all rules of the surgery and aftercare.

His office staff is awesome. I can't say enough about Ms. Bernice. Like I said I started this journey 3 years ago and Ms. Bernice and I still keep in contact. I am well on my way to having this surgery and can't wait!!!

PS Update
I haven't updated in a while. On October 4th I had a breast reduction/breast lift. I have wanted my breasts done since I was about 16 and I can honestly say it is the best thing I ever did!

My surgery was 6 1/2 hours long. My surgeon did the anchor-shaped incision and he also removed my bra fat underneath my arms. I have seen this called an upper body lift. I am very pleased with my results. Pain has been minimal in the breast but the incisions under the arm do bother me quite a bit. I guess because that is a tender area. Also, when he did my breast he went into a tiny part of my TT anchor incision and pulled my tummy up a bit more. Needless to say, I'm swell hell again!

I had a little hematoma 2 days out but my surgeon drained it and I self aspirated for a few days and all seems well now.

The breast surgery was not nearly as painful as the TT however, there is some discomfort. I have had little burning in my breasts and pain when I do too much but, it hasn't been unbearable.

My PS told me the other day if I say revision or let's do something else, he would pull me out of his office by my hair. LOL I guess that's a compliment coming from him.

On a side note, I went for one of my follow-up visits and my PS had some extra botox (a patient didn't show up that day) he said he had to use it so, I got free botox. I can tell a difference in my forehead and around my eyes but, I really don't think it is something I will pay to have done just yet. However, the freebie was a nice surprise.
