I spent months researching plastic surgeons in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas before…read morechoosing Dr. Desai for my breast reduction and lift. I looked through countless before-and-after photos, read patient reviews, asked for recommendations in multiple Facebook groups, and even checked DocInfo and Healthgrades because I wanted to be 100% confident in my decision.
Choosing Dr. Desai and Florida Plastic Surgery Group was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself.
I had wanted a breast reduction for almost 30 years. I dealt with back and shoulder pain, permanent indentations in my shoulders from bra straps, and could never buy a bathing suit or bra without serious support and underwire. I was also always very self-conscious about how top-heavy I looked. As much as I wanted the surgery, I kept putting it off because I was afraid of the pain, the recovery, and honestly, the scarring.
My expectations about the recovery could not have been more wrong.
From beginning to end, my experience was incredible. My surgery went smoothly with no complications, and Dr. Desai has an amazing bedside manner. He completely put me at ease before surgery, and I felt like I was in great hands the entire time. The medical team he works with is top-notch--from the pre- and post-op care to the anesthesiologist, everyone I interacted with was wonderful.
And the recovery? I never experienced actual pain after surgery. I had some discomfort, of course, but never pain. The medication plan and schedule they provided were extremely easy to follow and, I believe, played a huge role in how smoothly my recovery went.
But the most important part: my breasts look AMAZING. Dr. Desai exceeded my expectations. They are beautifully proportioned, the lift looks incredible, and my scars are already so minimal that you can honestly barely see them--which was another one of my biggest fears going into surgery.
His office checked on me regularly after the procedure, was incredibly responsive whenever I had a question, and my follow-up appointments were easy and reassuring. Really, that is probably the best way to describe the entire experience: they made something I had worried about for 30 years feel easy.
My only regret is that I waited so long to do it.
I cannot thank Dr. Desai and the entire team at Florida Plastic Surgery Group enough for the care they gave me and for how happy I am with my results. If you are considering a breast reduction and lift and are nervous about the surgery, recovery, pain, or scarring, I cannot recommend Dr. Desai highly enough.
After 30 years of wanting to do this, I can confidently say I chose the right surgeon--and I would make the same decision again without hesitation.
