A patient from NJ

I had the scarless breast reduction done by Dr. Baxt on 10/14/04. I was a 34DD and now I am a 34 C/D. Before this procedure I had no self-esteem at all and was very self conscious about the way I looked. I feel so much better about myself, this surgery has changed my life!

It took me a long time to make this decision and I am so glad I did. I have yet to have any regrets whatsoever. This was the best thing I have ever done and I feel so much better about this surgery changed my life for the best.

Dr. Baxt is an amazing, honest man. I highly recommend him for this procedure. Dr. Baxt's staff is truly unbelievable. I have never felt so comfortable at a doctors office in my entire life. Everything I was told by Dr. Baxt after my procedure was right on the money-from how I would feel and look. I never had any surprises. I am now 3 months post-op and feel amazing, thanks to Dr. Baxt and his staff.

Dear Dr. Baxt & Staff:

I just wanted to let you know about the experience I had while coming to your office for the scarless breast reduction procedure. I traveled from New York on Thursday morning and returned home on Friday morning. You and your staff are to be commended on making this trip a positive experience.

First of all, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing this option for women who have wanted a breast reduction. I have wanted a breast reduction for as long as I can remember, but would never go through the surgery and scarring that is related to the traditional method. My Mother saw information on your procedure in Women's World magazine and that started my search. I did a lot of research and got wonderful feedback regarding your office. I spoke with you on the phone for a consultation and I felt very comfortable in making your office and you my choice for this surgery. This procedure has made me feel so much better about myself and has made an incredible difference in my life.

Your office staff was very helpful in preparing for the surgery. The patient coordinator and Susan were a tremendous help with my insurance and in making arrangements to get to your office and over night accommodations. Both were always very polite, patient, and helpful and never made me feel as if I was a bother. I did not experience any pain with the procedure at all and even went to dinner after my surgery.

When I arrived at your office, I was very impressed with your facility. I was greeted with a smile and everyone was very helpful. As you can imagine, I was quite nervous, but your staff was patient and kind and eased my fears. Even the staff in the surgery room helped me to feel very comfortable. After my surgery, the nurses were very attentive and answered all of my questions.

I was most impressed with the contact I have had since my surgery. I have made several contacts via e-mail with you for questions and updates and I am always answered within an hour or two. You have personally answered every single one of my e-mails and that to me is extraordinary. I appreciate all the time and patience you have had with me.

I would definitely recommend this procedure to any woman who has struggled with the size of her breasts. Please feel free to pass along my name as a reference to anyone in need and I would be happy to help you out at any time that I can. Thank you again for a life-changing experience that was made completely comfortable and easy by you and your staff.

Sincerely,

g.l.

Scarless Breast Reduction

A Patient from Chicago

After hearing the news about "Scarless Breast Reduction" on ABC's Good Morning America, I immediately made a number of inquiries to plastic surgeons in the Chicago area, only to learn that many of them had little or no experience in performing the procedure. That is why I decided to travel to Paramus, New Jersey, to have Dr. Sherwood Baxt at Baxt Cosmedical perform the surgery. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Baxt and the patient coordinator, were always available to answer my many questions and to alleviate my concerns as well.

I cannot say enough about the excellent treatment and attention I was given at the Center when I got there. I flew from Chicago to New Jersey on a Thursday morning and had the surgery performed the same afternoon. The surgery team was friendly and efficient. There was absolutely no pain after the surgery, and I had to actually force myself to get some rest-that is how good I felt post-procedure! I stayed overnight at a local hotel and traveled back to Chicago the next day-again without experiencing any pain or discomfort. The following day I was driving and running errands and went back to my full, hectic work schedule that Monday.

It has been a little over a week now, and the bruising is practically gone. While there still remains some swelling and hardness in the breast area (which will require daily massages), I am already witnessing some exciting results. If you are from out of town and are contemplating getting this procedure performed, it is well worth the cost and expense to travel to Baxt Cosmedical, where the surgeons are knowledgeable, experienced and professional. So go ahead and book your flight. I hope you will agree that it will be well worth the trip!

A Patient from Dallas

I am 23 years old and just had this surgery done a couple; of weeks ago and I am doing great! My breasts are still swollen but I can already tell a difference! I can already fit into a size c cup bathing suit and bra, and coming from a double d, that feels awesome!! I have to admit I was a little nervous at first about the pain and heeling process. However much to my surprise and excitement there was no bad pain at all, just discomfort! I already feel like a new woman and I don't even have the true shape that my breast will be yet! I flew in from Dallas, Texas the night before my surgery and I went back home the same day as I got my surgery! It was the best decision I have ever made!

I would suggest Dr. Baxt and this surgery to anyone!

Scarless Breast Reduction

A Patient from Richmond

I just arrived home in Richmond Virginia (Wednesday evening) after an overnight stop in Philadelphia.

I want to tell you how impressed both Alice and I were with your expertise, your office, and most especially your staff.

The patient coordinator, Susan and the other RN's (I need to get their names as I was a bit groggy) treated me kindly and compassionately - as if I were their sister. Their caring towards me - a complete stranger - was extraordinary, and I am so very grateful.

Dr. Baxt, thank you . . . thank you . . . thank you! You seem to have accomplished what I have wanted for as long as I can remember. The size of my breasts have always caused problems with my back, as well as problems finding clothes that fit comfortably. Hopefully, that is all in the past.

I hope to see you in May for my post surgical visit, and perhaps at that time we can discuss options for my face. I am approaching my 60th birthday in September. It would be wonderful if I could achieve a more youthful look, without very invasive surgery. I will welcome any suggestions that you have.

Your medical expertise - your professionalism - your office staff - were OUTSTANDING! I thank you once again.

Dear Dr. & Staff of Cosmedical

I am ecstatic with the results of my Scarless breast reduction. For years, I agonized over whether to have breast reduction surgery due to the extreme nature of the operation. Even though I am miserable with my size, I could never convince myself to go forward with the "traditional" methods that were available.

Then I saw your website and the before & after pictures of woman who was the same age as I and who had the same problem. Her results prompted me to call you and make an appointment.

From the minute I got to your office and you explained the procedure, I was sold! This is what I had been looking for all along and I'm so glad I waited to find you.

My surgery was done on a Wednesday. I rested the remainder of the day and by Thursday (!) I was up and about doing some computer work from home. Friday I threw out all my old bras!

The amazing part is that there was such little discomfort and almost no down time at all. I never once had to take the prescribed pain medication. I was back to work full time the following Monday. The bruising was gone within two weeks. I resumed exercise 10 days after the surgery and now 6 weeks later, I am a new woman!!!!

I am so happy. I can't tell you what a difference this has made for me. My constant neck and shoulder pain is fast becoming a distant memory. I can wear normal size shirts and bathing suits. I'm not spilling out of my bras anymore and feeling embarrassed when I want to wear a tank top.

Even more amazing is that my skin responded so well to the decrease that I got a great natural lift. I think my before and after pictures will speak for themselves.

I just wanted to thank you and your entire staff. You made me one very satisfied customer!

Thank you all, TR

Scarless Breast Reduction

A Patient from New York

Dear Dr. and Staff,

Thank you, thank you and thank you! Having the scarless breast reduction on April 24, 2002 has changed my life for the better. I should have written to you much sooner, but I have been so busy enjoying the new me.

I was so impressed with your facilities and staff that after my consultation I knew this was the practice that would live up to my expectations. I have visited at least 5 doctors before this and not even one had mentioned this new technique. I even felt that walking into some offices were like going back in time 20 or 30 years. Your doctors and staff are top notch in my book.

For almost 10 years I have been thinking about getting this surgery. The thought of so many scars and such a long recovery period with the old technique really turned me off. I am a very active person that has completed four marathons and I could not see myself being able to not run for at least six months. My mother-in-law saw Dr. Baxt on ABC Good Morning America and immediately told me about this new technique. I called right away and your staff was very accommodating and I got an appointment right away, even though your office was getting bombarded with so many phone calls. There were many women in America that we so overjoyed to hear about this new technique. When I met the doctor he told me that I would be a great candidate and could even start running as soon as two weeks after the surgery, as long as I took it slowly. The doctor was true to his word. It felt great to wear just a running bra and shorts and not have people gawk at me, not to mention what a relief it was to my body. I am now training for my next marathon this November in New York City and I know that I will do better than ever thanks to the great staff at Baxt Cosmedical.

Again, your staff was fantastic. I only traveled 2 hours to your office, but your staff's suggestion of staying at an area hotel for the night was a good idea. We stayed at Howard Johnson's, one of your recommended hotels, and found it to be very nice and well priced. The location is also very convenient since it was close to restaurants and the drug store. Once I got over the anesthesia, I felt very good. The pain was not bad at all. In fact, I have hurt much worse after some of my marathons. I did not use the prescribed medication but just used Tylenol. I had the surgery on a Wednesday, and returned to work on Monday. At the time I worked in retail and was still able to carry on with my normal routine.

The doctor and staff, if any of your patients have any sort of questions I give you permission to send them my way. Perhaps I can help ease any anxieties that they may have as well as give some tips through the recovery phase that I learned on my own. Again, this has changed my life for the better. I have so much self-confidence and am ready to conquer the world.

Sincerely, AP

Scarless Breast Reduction

A Patient from Texas

Dear Dr. Baxt,

We sent you the 3-week post-op pictures last week, and I hope you received them. I wanted to write to let you know how pleased we were with the entire experience we had with your clinic. I am writing this especially for those patients who are traveling to you from other states for treatment.

My daughter had asymmetrical breasts. One was at least a cup size larger than the other. We live in a large metropolitan area, and when I started to call plastic surgeons here, the only solution I was offered was the traditional (what I now consider radical) surgery. One doctor told us the procedure she proposed was second in complexity only to breast reconstruction after cancer surgery.

Another doctor proposed an entire gamut of procedures including lifting both breasts, reducing one, and putting implants in both so they would be even. The implants, by the way, would have to be replaced a couple of times during her lifetime. Minimum cost was $8,000. Needless to say, these visits and phone calls left us more than disheartened.

When my daughter discovered scarless breast reduction from searching the internet, and then learning about your clinic, I was skeptical. Why would this procedure not be available in our metropolitan area if it was so wonderful, I asked myself. It was less intrusive, with a quicker recovery, and less expensive!

Well, I still don't have an answer for why it is unavailable here, but I do want everyone who is considering it to know that we are delighted we took the "leap of faith" and came to New Jersey and to you.

You or the doctor answered my numerous e-mails promptly and empathetically. I so appreciated your arrangements for travel from the airport and help in finding hotels. Even after we got back home, you called and checked up on us. It was comforting to know that you were still looking after her.

Our experience with CosMedical was just great! My daughter is now a freshman in college and feeling so much more confident and comfortable with her appearance. She is not spending months recuperating, nor does she have to bear a lifetime of scars.

Thanks again for offering such an innovative and life-changing procedure for women!

Sincerely,

MT

To the entire staff at Cosmedical!!

Just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks for the great treatment I received on my recent visit to your facility! Everywhere I looked there was a smiling face (and...what a surprise that was since there was a huge snow storm anticipated)! I will recommend your 'team' to anyone who requests information about the scarless breast reduction. The professionalism and care was really appreciated!

 Thanks again!

Face Lift

A Patient from Ohio

Dear Dr. Baxt,

It's been over a year since you did my facial surgery and I am remiss in writing to tell you how much I appreciated the wonderful job you did. The nurses who worked with me were exceptional; honest, kind, considerate, well-informed and, most important, so very very nice. My face was healed enough to allow me to go shopping in a department store in a week's time. I was not embarrassed about having the surgery, and I told most of my co-workers and family about it before the fact. If I had known how quickly and completely my face would heal, I might not have done so!

However, my recovery period was a revelation to my mother, who, at 73 and still working as a nurse, would never have considered facial surgery because she didn't want to admit to having it done. She has always been in wonderful shape and taken good care of herself, but she was feeling old only because of what she saw in the mirror. On a checkup visit I made to your office, she accompanied me and you saw her for a consultation on a moments notice, since she lives in Ohio and was leaving that day.

After deliberating for months, she returned this past April to have her own face lift, and I was thrilled, but concerned, because she would have been devastated if she showed any sign of the surgery when she returned to work in 3 weeks.

9 days after her surgery she went out shopping. When she returned home to Ohio, nobody noticed a thing. She was ecstatic, and her whole self image has improved immensely. She no longer feels like 'an old lady' and she thinks people treat her more nicely since the surgery.

And so I thank you for my mother and myself. I continue to visit your office on a regular basis for treatment and have had the best possible care administered by Dr. Saida and Dr. Rebecca. Lorraine has administered photofacials in the most professional and personal manner. She is terrific.

I am a professional woman who owns a construction company and I interviewed several plastic surgeons before I found Baxt Cosmedical. The doctors seemed fine and qualified, but what left them in the dust was the staff I encountered in their offices. I never even saw one of the doctors because I was left waiting for over an hour at my first consultation with absolutely no apology, offer of water or coffee, or any acknowledgement that my time was of the least importance, while the nurses chatted amongst themselves in full view of the waiting area!

So, thanks again. I continue to recommend you and your staff to anyone who will listen.

Sincerely,
k.c.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Dear Dr. Baxt,

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank You ever so much for giving me back some of my youthful appearance. My friends say that I look 30 instead of 50!! How great is that!! And best of all, I still look like me.

I have seen with so many other people, after eyelid surgery, like mine, their eyes take on a totally different shape, obviously, they didn't use you!

You took years off my jaw line with your simple lipo procedure. I'm amazed. The healing was quick and painless.

Your staff is knowledgeable and easy to reach, that's important, especially in the beginning, because you have doubts and many questions.

Please, put my letter out for people to read. Any patient contemplating plastic surgery with you should read this. It just might make their decision a little easier.

Again, I'm thrilled, many Thanks!!!

Chin Liposuction & Mini-Abdominoplasty

Dr. Baxt did my chin liposuction two years ago, and a mini-abdominoplasty this year. I went into both knowing that there are no promises of perfection in plastic surgery, and that I wasn't an easy case, but I'm thrilled to say that the results of both of my procedures are phenomenal.

I'm 51 now, and haven't looked and felt this good in over ten years. I feel confident and attractive every day - and very, very grateful to Dr. Baxt and his outstanding team.
