29, Been Thinking About It for 10 Years - Boston, MA Super nervous and ready to get it over with. Particular fears are the possibility of nerve damage, and the pain / recovery time. The surgeon I chose is well rated and has done this procedure a lot, and I was comfortable with him and his staff during my consultation. He told me that nerve damage is very unlikely if you don't go near the clitoral hood, which he doesn't do - he just trims the labia underneath. Doing the trim method. Every doctor seems to have such a different estimate of what recovery time will be like, so I don't really know what to expect! This is the before. I will update throughout recovery, because this site has been super helpful for me in making my decision, and I'd like to contribute to helping others. Had the surgery this morning. So far, the experience has been pretty much what others reported. They gave me an Ativan when I arrived for anxiety. Half an hour later I was in the operating room. Injecting the anesthetic was suuper painful, but lasted around 45 seconds. After that I was numb and couldn't feel anything the doctor and nurse were doing, and we were chatting while the doctor made the incisions and stitches. He did three rows of stitches on either side, and the whole procedure took about half an hour. My mom drove me home and I still wasn't in pain because of the anesthesia. I took a nap and about two hours later woke up with some pain. It's not terrible, its just a constant soreness. Doing my best to not touch it when I pee, take it easy in general, and follow the post-op instructions. Will update with some "after" pictures when there's something to see. Relieved to have removed so much of the excess tissue, but mixed feelings about the results and may need a revision. Follow up appointment soon. I have been waiting for some of the swelling to go down to post a picture. I had the trim method done, which is both the preference of my doctor and was my preference, because it made sense for my specific anatomy and the discoloration I wanted to get rid of. Here is what it looks like 10 days post op. I have been a combination of relieved to have most of that excess skin gone, and also having mixed feelings / some regret about not going to a doctor who does clitoral hood reduction. I can't tell (and I've done a lot of reading on here!) how safe / unsafe / standard hood reduction is, because some doctors like the one I went to say they don't do it because of the risk of nerve damage, while others seem to treat it as a standard part of a labiaplasty and like it isn't a problem at all. I was very nervous about nerve damage so in my consultation, I was on board with reducing the labia to relieve the physical discomfort, but now that it's done I am feeling emotional / having mixed feelings about not having done a hood reduction as well, and I am worried it looks very unnatural and maybe like an obvious labiaplasty. Like, I spent all this money and recovery time, and then if I want to do a hood reduction I have to do it all over again with someone else. Whereas if I hadn't been in such a rush to do it, I could have saved several thousand dollars by going to one doctor who treats hood reduction as part of labiaplasty / included in the cost. So, my happiness about the whole thing has been mixed, which is why I took so long to post anything. Last, the itching has been TERRIBLE, two days ago was the worst day since surgery because of unbearable itching, I ended up trying to lightly scratch it and inflamed the whole thing. I bought some feminine cortizone cream which helped a bit, and I feel better today. But I guess I was a bit naive and expecting to feel a lot better by now / almost two weeks in, considering my relative health and that I have been just resting at home and taking care of it. I can't imagine how anyone goes back to work 2-3 after a labiaplasty - I am still walking funny! I would like to hear about other patients' experiences with the hood reduction vs no hood reduction decision / risk of nerve damage, if that was an issue at all - and what your doctors told you about it. I think it was worth doing, and frankly I am really happy to be rid of the discomfort of long labia getting pulled / irritated in my clothing all the time. I still am not aesthetically that pleased with the appearance, as I think my large clitoral hood looks really strange. However, my main motivation for surgery was the functional one, and I am relieved that I do not have the discomfort problem anymore. I still feel confused as to whether having done a clitoral hood reduction would have been safe or not. My doctor told me he does not perform them because of the risk of nerve damage, and I trusted him, and certainly did not want to risk nerve damage. Then I posed a question online to other doctors about whether clitoral hood reduction along with the labiaplasty would have been safe, and most responded yes. However, I find doctors who say "100% yes" unequivocally to be untrustworthy - that is just an unprofessional thing to say, because nothing is unequivocally 100% safe, so I don't really trust their answers. It is irresponsible to tell anyone that there is 0% risk of problems with their surgery, and I also find it unprofessional for a doctor to criticize another doctor the way I was seeing in my questions, rather than just explain their point of view. (If RealSelf had a feature where people who asked questions could respond to the answers, I would have done so.) Basically it seems like there would have been a very small risk of nerve damage, because not everyone's body is the same and people's nerves don't all form the same. Given this, even though it is unlikely anything would have happened, I am probably glad I did just the labiaplasty and not a labiaplasty / clitoral hood reduction. My main concern of the discomfort is taken care of, and even though I don't love the aesthetic appearance, it is certainly better than it was. The swelling has gone down more and it looks more normal than in the last photo. As far as a review of the specific doctor, I did like Dr. Davidson and the nurse he works with and found them to be compassionate people. Honestly, the attitude of medical professionals matters a lot, and in that respect I appreciated Dr. Davidson's practice.
I had a positive, seamless experience from my first visit to the results of my surgery. The front office staff are genuinely kind and informative. This is a personalized practice where you do not feel like a number. The clinical staff - the P.A. and the Anesthesiologist - were great. Dr. Davidson is an excellent surgeon - he takes the time to listen to all your questions and explain all the options in detail. He is kind and approachable. Most importantly, I couldn't be happier with the results! 5 star experience.
Dr. Davidson and his staff are truly the most incredible team. They are comforting and warm, and extremely professional in all aspects of the practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Davidson and his team in every aspect of what they do!
BEST EXPERIENCE!! (23yo 5'1 300cc Silicone Mod+) - Wellesley, MA I had my breast augmentation on April 5th & could not be happier! Dr. Davidson is amazing and his staff is INCREDIBLE! From the first phone call I made to the office, I knew I had picked the perfect place to have my surgery. Cindy, Ellen, and Justine are all so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. They never hesitated to give me their opinions and I valued all of their input! Ellen helped me pick the perfect implant size based off of my detailed expectations & Dr. Davidson helped me make my final decision. I ended up going with 300cc mod+ silicone under the muscle. Stats- Age: 23 Height: 5'1 Weight: 110 Implant: 300cc Mentor smooth round Silicone Mod+ under the muscle, breast fold incision. I am currently 10 days post-op and I am literally shocked at how amazing my results are already! I could not have imagined a more perfect outcome this early in my healing process! I never had "snoopy" boobs and have had visually appealing results from day one. I am very impatient so I was ecstatic to see how beautiful my breasts looked right off the bat! I am currently measuring as a full 32D, but this will probably change over the next couple of months. Dr. Davidson is worth every penny and I could not be any happier with my decision to choose him as my surgeon. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience and healing process so feel free to comment! Here are a few more 'after' pictures to give a better idea of size and how my implants look 2 weeks post op. I am measuring as a 32D-DD depending on the bra or swimsuit. I definitely do NOT feel like a D or DD, more like a full C which is exactly what I hoped for. Victoria's Secret has vanity sizing that runs very small.
36 Yo Mom of Three, Got Fantastic Results! - Wellesley, MA Dr. Davidson gave me the fuller chest over always wanted especially after breastfeeding three kids. The Dr. And his staff were so great, friendly, professional and most importantly he did a great job and j couldn't be happier with my results, natural and very pleasing asthetically! The office ladies are so sweet and extremely helpful both before and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson, I love my new breasts!
Dr. Davidson and his staff were absolutely terrific from start to end. All of my interactions with them were professional and extremely pleasant. I was very nervous in my search for a plastic surgeon and wanted the best. After meeting with him I didn't feel the need to even go to my other consultations with other doctors around Boston, as I felt confident in choosing him. I had a breast augmentation and I couldn't be happier with the results, he did a top notch job and I would recommend him very highly. His front office staff are also awesome.
Active mom I was happy with my body except for my breasts, which you can't work on at the gym. I breast fed both of my children. It just hit me one day that this was right for me and that I was going to do it. I am so glad I did! My procedure went very well. I had discomfort after but nothing like I expected. It went very smooth and the staff during my procedure were great. I went with 350cc MP. I am 5'6" and 135 pounds. Very natural size. I am feeling more sore today but the pain is manageable. It is difficult getting in and out of bed. The bottoms of my breasts are real sore. Keeping up with pain meds and rest I am already so happy with my results and it is only day 2. Very sore today and difficult getting in and out of bed. Never had nausea. My left breast implant is higher than the right today but the doctor warned me this was normal. My doctor even called me today, personally, to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. Very good doctor. Took a shower today and haven't needed a narcotic, just taking Tylenol now. I am comfortable but feel like I can't focus my vision well when reading or typing this. Maybe a side effect from the anesthesia. Loving the way they look. Stopped narcotics because I was having bad dreams. Tylenol is helping. Bruising is evident but not bad. Start back to work tomorrow. Hoping for the best Feeling better every day. Had my first post op appointment today and things look good. I found a Playtex bra at Target that the MD ok'd. It feels a little more supportive and comfortable. Feeling great! Can't wait to see how they take shape Still bruising but no complaints Still a little bruising but feel beautiful!
Complicated Breast Lift and Implants Through Areolas - Wellesley, MA I had small tuberous breasts that were droopy, far apart and oddly shaped. I've wanted to get it corrected for some time but was always kind of scared because what I needed was going to take some extra TLC. I finally bit the bullet as I'm in my 30's and just couldn't stand looking at them any longer. I had everything going against me so I was not expecting perfect results, but I'll have to say that now they are damn near perfect! I could not be happier about my results 🙂
I searched for quite a while to find the right Dr. for a complicated breast problem I had and am so happy I found Dr. Davidson. I booked consultations with a few Dr.s and he was hands down my choice. From the moment I walked into the office I felt it was the right place. The staff was so helpful and friendly and he took his time with me to explain absolutely everything. He's so humble, easy to talk to and got back to my e-mails right away. I go in for check ups now and then and enjoy seeing everyone there. They treat me like we've been life-long friends and it's very genuine. I can't speak highly enough for Dr. Davidson and his practice...no wonder he has so many great reviews.
Dr. Davidson has changed my life- and I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone considering reconstructive surgery especially after weight loss. I had a lower body lift 6 weeks ago, and I could not be happier with my results. From my initial consultation with Dr. Davidson, I felt SO comfortable with him. He truly is the most caring and genuine doctor I have ever had. Dr. Davidson and his staff made me feel like i was their #1 priority the entire way through, and I could not be more thankful for them! I was prepared for the worst for my recovery, but everything went so smoothly- I still can't believe it. Every time I look in the mirror I am the happiest I have ever been, and I owe it all to Dr. Davidson. I don't have a single complaint with my experience with Dr. Davidson and his staff- 5 stars hands down!!
