THE NOSE KNOWS I…read morewas facing something that had quietly become overwhelming. My nose had collapsed to the point where breathing through it was nearly impossible. Nights were restless. My ear felt constantly blocked. And the solutions I was being offered felt... drastic. One highly regarded local surgeon told me my case was so extreme that cartilage would need to be taken from my ear to rebuild my nose. He warned my nose would widen significantly and look very different. I was willing to accept that. I just wanted to breathe again. And also my hearing was lessening. I wanted to be able to hear again thinking maybe that they were related. But something in me hesitated. Then I remembered Dr. Jacob Tower. Years earlier, I had met him when he was at Lahey Clinic. A deeply respected ear, nose, and throat specialist with extraordinary skill in facial aesthetics. I reached out, and he responded immediately. From our very first conversation, everything changed. Dr. Tower didn't just see a "difficult case." He saw a better path. He explained clearly, thoughtfully, and with remarkable depth, what was actually happening, and how he could restore not just structure, but function... and quality of life. He invited me to come see him right away at The Spiegel Center. What he offered was simpler. Smarter. And far more elegant. I booked surgery on the spot. Three weeks ago today, he performed it. I remember waking up. For the first time in years, breathing fully through my nose. Effortlessly. Quietly. Completely. There were no overwhelming nasal packings, no dramatic bruising. Quite nothing like I had been warned to expect. Even more surprising... everything started to come back to life. The pressure in my ear disappeared. My hearing sharpened. One moment I'll never forget! I heard my cat meowing from the garage while I was upstairs. I hadn't realized how much I'd been missing until that instant. I ran downstairs, ready to free the cat in the garage so many times as she would follow me in and I didn't hear her cry to come out. Unaware and muted. Yes, my nose shape changed slightly. It had to. But in the hands of Dr. Tower who is not only a surgeon but truly an artist, the result is natural, balanced, and thoughtful. Not "different" in a way that takes from you, but refined in a way that gives something back. And that's what he does. He gives people their lives back...in ways they didn't even realize they had lost. At just three weeks out, I can say without hesitation: this changed my life. My deepest respect and gratitude to Dr. Jacob Tower and his exceptional team at The Spiegel Center. I've been around aesthetics long enough to recognize true excellence when I see it. And this is it. I cannot recommend him highly enough!!

He took the time to kindly and patiently explain everything clearly. Today I am two weeks post-op, and I am beyond delighted with my results. I never thought my neck could look this good, especially this soon. My recovery has been easier than I had anticipated. I did not see any bruising. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Tower, Uzma, and the rest of the team, who made this entire procedure stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Tower and his team to anyone. (Special thanks to Uzma, who always responded to my questions via email immediately, even on a weekend). I am beyond delighted with my results.

She suggested snipping one skin tag and freezing the other area (cryotherapy). Quick and easy. She suggested I return annually for skin cancer screening.

I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment, which I had made nearly 2 months in advance. I was told to leave the lobby and come back in 40 minutes. When I returned, I was told that maybe the doctor would be able to see me... eventually. The front desk attendant was rude and dismissive. I opted to cancel my appointment and left. Details: I was volunteering at my 3-year-old's gymnastics workshop that morning. It ran over, and I ended up not having time to take her home to her father. I chose to value their time over my own scheduling miscalculations and went straight to my appointment as I was. Being with my child and in my workout sweats, I suppose they took me for someone without money. From the look of their lobby, it's clear they are desperate to give off an impression of wealth and excess, and my presence must have been horrible for them. I didn't fit in, and how dare I sully their image! The front desk attendant was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. I have never been treated like that in my life. In my LIFE!

I saw every specialist imaginable to try to get some type of explanation for feeling like I was slowly dying at the age of 25. After months and months of research I finally came across an article about BII. At the time I had never heard of breast implant illness. In 2016 there were only 3-4 doctors in the US performing en bloc capsulectomies (procedure where your entire implant and scar tissue is completely removed.) After scheduling my appointment with one of the few specialists that preformed the procedure I needed, I decided to reach out to Dr. Volpe to see if he has had any other patience experience what I was going through... below is our email correspondence... Email I sent to Dr. Volpe's office on 8/18/2016: Hi Dr. Volpe, It will be 6 years this January since I had my implants done by Dr. Volpe. I am constantly asked about the doctor that did my implants and still to this day refer numerous friends to him. About a year ago I became very ill and have seen every type of doctor and had about every test possible done to find out what could be causing my symptoms. It wasn't until 2 months ago that I learned of breast implant illness. Once I did lots of researched about the illness I reached out to Dr. Susan Kolb in Atlanta who specializes in explant surgery. I wanted to reach out to Dr. Volpe to get his input and professional advice on the situation. Email response from Dr. Volpe on 8/18/2016 Hi Kaylee, It would be wise to come in and I would be happy to go over everything with you. Be wary of opinions that do not agree with extensively researched medical issues. Just give a call and set something up (remember no fees for all this). Hope to see you, Dr Volpe Email I sent to Dr. Volpe after my explant surgery on 2/23/2017: Dr. Volpe, On 10/3/16 I had my implants removed by Dr. Feng in Ohio. In August 2016 I reached out to you to get your advice regarding a link between my declining heath and my implants . I find it quite odd that in response to my email you advised me to "Be wary of opinions that do not agree with extensively researched medical issues". I'd like to know what extensive research you were referring to? Since I explanted 5 months ago a lot of my symptoms have subsided and the ones that remain are much better than they were before. After suffering for countless years with no answers, I will be putting all my effort into advocating for women who were not fully informed of all the heath risks that came with getting breast implants. In all the research I've done, I have yet to find any studies of the long term health risks of breast implants. That may be because there has been no research carried out long enough to prove the long term effects, but if you have information proving otherwise I'd be very interested to see it. Providing your patients with all the information, including the the percentage of women that experience the vast amount of negative effects from implants should be mandatory. If this information is denied to them before the decision is made to get implants, you're only doing a disservice to your patients. I have no complaints about the job you did on my implants, I think you are an extremely talented surgeon. However, had I known the information I know now about the risks of breast implants, I may have decided that the cons far outweighed the pros. The decision I made was based off the information I was given. Had I known differently, my health would be in a much different place right now, along with my financial state, and countless other aspects of my life.

They initially denied me, saying it should be within 48 hours. I do not understand the disconnect between why the person I was talking to (Andrea) had told me she received my email and was "planning on calling me back." and why I still had to argue about why I should receive my deposit of $250 back. I talked to the manager, who also made it hard for me initially (giving me the same spiel about 48 hours, when I did?!!) but eventually gave me my money back. This tells me: They do not care about their policies (because I did just as they required). It was about keeping my deposit. Money. This is an awful business and doesn't deserve your hard-earned money!
