| - Hello. My name is Kristina. I am a 25-year old, pre-op male-to-female transsexual, and this review is about a Bilateral Breast Augmentation I received 09/25/2014.
I started living my life as a female when I was 13 years old. I started psycho-therapy when I was 21 years old, and I soon after, started hormone replacement therapy. I was on hormones for 4 years before I decided to get my breasts worked on. since I didn't start hormone replacement therapy until I was 21, I had already grew into my body as technically a curvy adult male; and when my breasts came in medically, they were unsatisfactory. by unsatisfactory, I mean, they didn't carry the proper shape, and volume as most cis-gendered females breasts do when they go through puberty, and knew I needed to do something about it before I could actually accept myself for who I was. I felt like a girl, trapped in a now, deformed, and awkward body of a man.
my aunt, Roxanne had seen Dr. John Bass nearly 13-years ago, and even then the results were immaculate, and they are still top notch today.
I was originally seeking out a plastic surgeon that was more then comfortable working on transgendered individuals, and I discovered Dr. Toby Meltzer, a very well known, and only plastic surgeon in the state of Arizona that works specifically on transgendered males, and females a like, however, it took several months to even get an consultation appointment, in which you had to pay the consultation fee of $100 (at the time that I am leaving this review.) upfront. so scheduling and price were a major thing for me. If I am allotted a sufficient time to "marinade" on a large purchase, such as a breast augmentation, I will weigh the pros and cons in the favor of my financial stability. nevertheless, Dr. Toby Meltzer was too high for my budget (granted he specializes in transgendered surgeries, I can see why he would be able to charge a bit more) Dr. John Bass' fee was nicer, and though he wasn't skilled in transgender surgeries, the anatomy of the chest in male, and females are identical.
I had my consultation booked with Dr. John Bass in a weeks time, rather then months out like transgender specialist Dr. Meltzer. my consultation was very thorough, and lasted 2-hours.
I had an idea of what I wanted, but I am no plastic surgeon. I came in wanting to get an under-the-muscle silicone implant, and given my particular situation, I ended up getting an over the top of the muscle saline implant due to how Dr. John Bass, and Norma educated me on what would be appropriate for my situation.
I gave Dr. Bass an idea of what size i wanted to be, but, i left it all in his hands to decide what looked best on me. He ended up trying 5 different sizes on me before deciding to sew me up. Very satisfied with the results with the size he came up with!
Theresa, the receptionist, not only is fabulous to look at and very pleasant to be around, she was very professional, and sweet, and knew the ins and out of how Dr. John Bass operates.
secondly, Norma, a very sophisticated, very, very intelligent assistant to Dr. John Bass made me feel very comfortable, and was really easy to get along with, and I genuinely felt they wanted to help me achieve what I was looking for ultimately.
lastly, Dr. John Bass made me feel comfortable, and even though he didn't specialize in transgender surgeries in particular, didn't shy away from the project like many other plastic surgeons I have visited in the past because they weren't "skilled" for that type of procedure. I am to days out of surgery, and my breasts look amazing. Dr. John Bass is very talented, educated, knowledgeable, caring, down-to-earth, factual individual, and is a true artist as what he does.
Dr. John Bass will in the future, forever have my business as long as he practices medicine, and I would highly recommend him to any of my family members, friends, and colleagues, hands down when it comes to a reference for a phenomenal plastic surgeon that does incredible breast augmentations.
also, If you are a trans-female, please go see him. I think, from speaking to Norma, that I was his 3rd trans-female subject, and his work is incredible. you get top of the line results without burning a hole in your pocket. my individual fee was $6,114.00 for a saline implant -- to give you an idea.
thank you, Norma, and Dr. Bass for everything you have done for me. I owe you everything! I am one satisfied patient of yours.
