"My breast reconstruction was one of the few silver linings of a very difficult experience that no one ever wants to go through. I am so grateful for Dr. Wei and for the excellent outcome she achieved. The surgery allowed me to feel and look like myself again. It was the last step to putting myself back together after months of breast cancer treatment."

"I have always had a small chest and after breastfeeding two babies, my breasts got even smaller. Immediately after my breast augmentation surgery, I felt more confident. Even though I’m only one week post-op I already feel like a new me! Working full-time while also being a wife and a mom makes it challenging to do things just for yourself. Don’t let that stop you. Having this surgery done has already positively impacted my life. I am so grateful to Doctor Nadeau and her entire team."

"Having my tummy tuck done with Dr. Wei really changed the way I feel about myself and my confidence has improved dramatically. I’ve always been a larger woman and I’ve loved my curves. I just wanted to get rid of all the loose skin that was left after my 70 pound weight loss. Prior to having my tummy tuck done I had spent most of my life dressing to cover or disguise my stomach. With all that extra skin gone, I can now dress to highlight those curves! I truly believe plastic surgery can be the ultimate form of self-care."

"My entire experience with Dr. Clancy was so great from the first consultation through every step of my recovery. I knew having smaller breasts would positively impact my quality of life, but I never expected them to be so sexy! At 43, after nursing two kids for 2 years, I never thought I would have perky breasts again."

"Dr. Wei did a fantastic job with my procedure. My breasts are even and the scars are already fading. She kept my original shape and made me look very natural. I know that had I not had this procedure done I would have been looking at every defect after my lumpectomy. Now when I look in the mirror my breasts are even and perky and that makes me feel good! I did not want cancer, I didn't ask for this, but this is the best outcome I could have hoped for."

"When I look at myself in the mirror now I no longer see cancer. I feel like a woman again. It was really hard for me to have a double mastectomy at such a young age.

My reconstructed breasts look very natural and are very similar in appearance to my originals. I am very happy with my decision."
