I first met Dr. Sailon when he was referred by my a friend who is a PA at one of DC's best Orthopedic Surgery practices. They had him join in on my revision foot surgery to debride and close the incision sites. He was meticulous and did an amzing job. The scars were better than the initial surgery by a previous surgeon.
I then felt comfortable inquiring about breast reduction surgery and after a few consultations with him , photos of his past before and after breast reduction surgeries, I was very confident in his abilities and my fears were gone.
The stories about terrible scarring and loss of sensation that everyone talks about did not happen. Dr. Sailon took his time with each step to ensure my scars would be as small as possible. Here comes the good part...the healing process was just as he said it would be with about a 1 week recovery in bed, 3 weeks of no exercise and 2 more weeks of light activity. My week 6 check up was great and week 8 was outstanding! The scars are extremely minimal and they get better everyday. None of the scars are raised-smooth as a baby's bottom. They are slowly fading and in a year, will be barely noticeable.
I am now 6 months out and holy crap...best decision I've ever made, full sensation, and they look amazing!
I went to get post-surgical bras 3 weeks after surgery and the place I go to is called Sylene. It's in Chevy Chase in Washington DC and they not only specialize in bra fitting, all lingerie and most importantly, all bras for post-surgery patients from mastectomies and reconstructive surgery. The owner commented on how remarkable they were healing and asked for Dr. Sailon's card. When I went back to get my nice bras, she was floored how they came out and the lack of typical scars you would see after a breast reduction surgery.
I will always refer him to anyone who needs plastic surgery whether it is for reductions, closures of surgical sites and anything else they need. A friend also has botox injections done and you couldn't even tell. She had to tell me she had it done! Now that is impressive!
He is incredibly thorough, kind and comforting. His bedside manners is just as excellent as his skill and he calls and emails to follow up-personally. I usually never do these online referrals, however, how could I not?! You MUST book an appointment with him for any plastic surgery procedure you can think of. read more
