I had my breast reduction in 2025 with Dr Lichtenstein at age 55 after losing approximately 150 lbs. By the time of surgery, my skin quality was poor and my breasts had become extremely elongated,…to the point where my expectations for the outcome were honestly quite low.

The final result has been far beyond anything I thought was possible.

Dr. Lichtenstein was able to create small, lifted, natural-looking breasts that genuinely resemble the shape I had in my 20s. Given the starting point, (significant skin laxity, thinning underneath, and excess tissue extending into the sides) the outcome is remarkable. She also addressed the lateral excess tissue, which made a meaningful difference in overall contour. Considering the complexity, the result is impressive and has had a huge impact on my comfort and confidence.

What stands out just as much as the technical result is her approach as a surgeon. She is thoughtful, attentive, and takes her time. I consistently felt heard and respected in every interaction. Dr Lichtenstein followed up carefully, welcomed questions, and never made me feel rushed. There was a genuine sense that she cared about both the outcome and my experience, not just as a patient, but as a person.

I also remember her saying right before going into surgery that she was excited to do the surgery, and that attitude carried through. She seemed invested, present, and genuinely happy with the result alongside me.

Every day now, I look in the mirror and feel a sense of gratitude, relief (and oftentimes disbelief). The physical discomfort I used to deal with is gone, and the aesthetic result is something I didn’t think was achievable given my starting point.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Lichtenstein, especially to patients who feel they may be “difficult cases” due to weight loss, age, or skin quality. My outcome speaks for itself, and I am so grateful!
