    Default What do you think of this surgeon's BA's?

    I'm curious about Dr Dowden's work because he specializes in TUBA (navel incision). I'm only considering transaxillary (armpit) and TUBA, but the latter appeals to me because it has the least scarring. This guy has been doing them for decades, and allegedly has had several patients come in from other countries. Out of all the portfolios I've looked at, his work seems the most consistently good (most portfolios of even "good" surgeons tend to skeeve me out), but I'd like second opinions.

    Here's the site (ghetto, but apparently for browser compatibility):
    http://dr-dowden.com/augsphot/galselec.html

    One of my concerns is that he does a lot of overs. Do they suck?

    Feel free to recommend other surgeons who specialize in these incisions, too.

    Hey there! I took a glance and he seems to do good work. I just had mine done May 10th and could literally not be any happier if I tried. I had a lift and memory gel under the muscle. They look and feel real, its amazing.

    I actually went to a doctor that I hadn't heard my co-workers mention before so the only work I saw was in his books.

    The only advice I can offer is do your own little investigation. You know a shady practice and a professional one right off the bat for the most part but you should always double check. His website says he's board certified which is a must but if you want to look him up, check him out on the link below. It should tell you at least if he's ever been disciplined, how long he's been licensed, etc.

    Trust your gut, look for the signs, and don't make a decision based on price. Think of it as an investment. Good luck!

    I don't have a BA but I live in Ohio. If you do end up going to him, please post your pics or experience! I'm researching now and can't seem to find a doctor worth a shit in this state!

    He looks alright. I personally prefer the look and feel of under the muscle, and it's what I have. I also had the transaxiallary incision for less scarring. The only concern I had with that was infection and that he might misplace the implant, but the doctor I had did a great job and I had no complications.

    I would look him up on the society for plastic surgeons website as well as the one teagan recommended just to be safe.

    Me no likey to be honest. I like over-the-muscle though. If I could go back in time I would have had mine done over instead of under. :/

    Thanks for your opinions!

    Zinaida: Glad you were honest. What do you think he could be doing better? Also, I haven't seen any overs in person. What are they like? A concern of mine is that I read that they bottom out & ripple more often.

    Dunno what he could be doing better. But to me doctors' galleries tend to all look the same. Very rarely do I see a doctor whose boobs stand out/look different. To me his do, but not in a good way.

    I have unders and they ripple plenty. I also know of unders who have bottomed out. I don't know the statistics but I know those risks are possible either way. I have also seen unders that look obviously fake and I have seen overs that look very natural. It all depends on what you had to begin with.

    also, doctor's 'galleries' are CHERRY PICKED !!! You won't find a single doctor willing to post pics of girls whose results turned out poorly !!!

    On the subject of over versus under, in general girls who dance develop very strong pec muscles as a result of pole work etc. With unders, the downward pressure of contracted pec muscles can distort implant shape - can push implants down to the bottom of the breast pocket etc. Over the muscle placement avoids these problems ... but with increased risk of implant folds showing through the skin. However, this can be minimized by going with silicone implants, or by overfilling saline implants until the folds are driven out of the implant bag ( but which makes the implant rounder, firmer and less natural looking ).

    Thanks MOP! I've decided not to anyway. In retrospect, I was overlooking problems with his work because I was so excited to find a surgeon who specializes in TUBA. I've been looking into Dr. Strock in TX, though, because he seems to do good transaxillary work, and I'm willing to compromise on scar placement because of it.

    Honestly I'm not at all impressed by what I see.

    I'm glad you didn't go with him, his after pics aren't exactly stellar. This is something you absolutely should be way over-picky about and totally unwilling to compromise on.
