If there were more than 5 stars to leave here I would 100% do so. Instead I am going to settle for a very detailed review of my process, in hopes that anyone else out there struggling to make this kind of decision can get excited about what is to come for them.
Dr. Crispin and his EXTRAORDINARY team of professionals made, what was (before meeting them) an incredibly intimidating decision for me, so exciting and honestly so much fun. Words I never thought I would use when describing plastic surgery. I had a breast augmentation and an upper blepharoplasty.
My major concern with getting a breast augmentation was that I would end up looking fat honestly. I am a taller woman with a more athletic build and a fairly flat chest. I also workout religiously and was very concerned about the down time. The last thing I wanted was to end up looking heavier by making this decision. Dr. Crispin did not dismiss my concerns or make me feel silly. He spent time making sure I felt heard and validated. He quickly put all my concerns to rest and talked me through what he thought would fit my body and would accomplish my goals. I started with somewhat uneven breast, the right being larger than the left. He talked me through what that would mean, what could be done to help that, and he set proper expectations. After that conversation my fears quickly changed to those of excitement and TRUST that I had chosen the perfect team for me.
Like I mentioned, I originally went in for a breast augmentation consultation, but since "Droopy eyelids" run in my family and had become something I was very self-conscience of, I decided to just go ahead and ask them what they thought. I had started hating taking pictures and putting on makeup wasn't as easy as it used to be. After talking through the ends and outs of the procedure, the recovery time and all the little details with Dr. Crispin and Mary Katherine, I quickly realized there was no reason to be nervous and no reason to wait until they became unbearable.
Both of these decisions are some of the best decisions I could have ever made for myself. I am almost a month out from my surgery, and I could not be happier with my results. My family is shocked by how much of a difference they can see in my eyes. In fact, both of my parents are thinking they are ready to have to theirs done. My breast look so pretty. I do not look heavier, in fact, I actually think I look far more proportionate than I ever have. I could not be more happy and thankful.
From my first phone call with Jen (the patient coordinator) who basically held my hand through the entire process, to Adair- who handles all the scheduling and making sure everyone stays safe with Covid, to Marion who handles all the financials, to finally Dr. Crispin and Mary Kathrine- who spent extra time making me feel safe, confident, and excited- I cannot say enough good things or recommend this team more. I feel so much gratitude to Dr. Crispin for helping me feel more beautiful and confident, and for setting all the proper expectations for what my recovery process would be like. His follow-up since surgery has also been above and beyond anything I expected. I should also note- his surgery center was like an extension of his team. They were absolutely wonderful to work with as well. I am beyond thankful I took the advice of a good friend and went to see Dr. Crispin. My confidence is forever changed for the better. read more
