Patient
Experience: Figure Enhancing
"I'm fairly attractive and I could wear nice clothes. But
I could never wear decent bathing suits or evening
gowns," says 42-year-old Bonnie (not her real
name), whose small breasts shrunk after breast
feeding. She had considered breast augmentation
surgery but never felt she had "that type of money
tucked away". Then, she says, "I just got looking my
body and thought, 'I'm just going to go ahead and
do it'". |

Once she made the decision she moved quickly. "I
wanted to get it done before the
holidays," she says, and many physicians she called couldn't get her in.
But Roy Semlacher, M.D., F.R.C.S.C., could. More important to Bonnie, she sensed
that he was honest. He said: " ...some surgeons... do this procedure and
turn them
around in a hour's worth of surgery," but he took closer to three hours. I wanted
someone to do a good job. Plus, I went to his web page and it had examples of before
and after, and I liked what I saw".
And she was pleased with the result of her surgery."I've had no complications from
the
surgery and no scarring visible. Now anything I put on is just sexy," she says.
"I told
my doctor, 'I don't want to be a pin-up, but I want to look voluptuous'. There's a
big difference there because I'm a professional woman. I didn't want my husband to be
part of the decision because he'd go for the biggest cup size", she adds,
laughing".

I am three weeks post-op and had a wonderful experience. I went to Dr. Semlacher in
Carmichael/Sacramento. My friend had gone to Dr. Semlacher last year and also had
a wonderful experience. Your site helped me to reassure that Dr. Semlacher was an accredited plastic surgeon and that he was recommended by your site. Thanks so much.
I started out as a 34b, saggy from childbearing and nursing and came out as a 34D,
5'4" 125, 300cc, under, saline, peri, o/f 330L and 345R. I had not one bruise and
minimal swelling. I was back to work on day three and have a hairline scar, at 3 weeks
post-op you can't see it unless you are looking for it. My friends could not believe how
well I was doing the night after surgery. I was up walking around, talking, and even laughing. I had always heard of these horrible stories from women who had ba done, drains, bed ridden, etc. I had the best experience I think is possible.
Dr. Semlacher is extremely knowledgeable and up to date with the latest medical
techniques and advancements. His staff too is extremely helpful. He is the type of
doctor who is more concerned about giving you implants that fit your body, not make
an easy buck. He will not go beyond a certain cc I think 400cc and if you want bigger,
he will refer you out. The whole point is not to look fake right? When I went in for my
first day post-op checkup I had flowers there waiting for me to take home from him and
his staff. I thought that that was such a nice gesture.
The bottom line is that I would recommend him to anyone including my close friends
and family and would like to see more women experience a positive and happy BA.

Dear Dr. Semlacher,
I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how much I appreciate your services. As
you may know my wife and I went to other surgeons before coming to your office for
her surgery. As her husband it was very difficult for me to stand there and watch a
stranger draw all over my wife with a felt pen like she was a piece of meat to be
butchered. These doctors gave no consideration as to how embarrassing it may have
been for my wife or how difficult it was for me to stand there while my wife was
exposed to the world. Not only were you compassionate for my wife's feelings but you
also considered mine. Your bedside manner could not have been better. You made
both of us as comfortable as possible and kept her exposure to a minimum. Your
professionalism is appreciated and unsurpassed. My wife has fully recovered and is
very pleased with her outcome. As for me, I am just happy that she is happy. I again
thank you and wish you all the best.
Sincerely, S. H.
