I've been approved by my insurance for the TT and reduction, but I'm not 100% on the surgeon I've seen. Anyone have any recommendations or warnings of who to stay away from? I am excited and deathly nervous at the same time. Thanks!

I don't know if you've made a choice yet, but I am having the LBL with Dr Michael Pickart in Ventura.  He is incredible.  Kind, knowledgeable, patient and straightforward.  I don't feel like he's trying to "sell me something"  and he's really concerned that I will be pleased with he results.

Well, I am going to stick my neck out here and say that I do not like Dr. Agha's work, his prices, or the way he conducts himself. But you will find others who are fans. So it is hard to advise you on who to stay away from because it is a very subjective answer. 

I know a few people who had surgeries done with Dr. Katzen and spoke very highly of his bedside manner, patient care, and results.
