Going through my breast cancer diagnosis in 2018 (at age 29 - no kids) rocked my world. The mental, spiritual and physical stress it put on not just me but also my family was something I don't wish on anybody. Every day it was something new...from the hair falling out to the pale skin, to red palms and dead finger nails, nausea from treatments and a swollen steroid face, from unwanted weight loss to pitty looks from friends and family....Yes, there were many silver linings but it was also very tough! One of the worst parts for my self-esteem came after I full recovered from my double mastectomy and first reconstruction surgery. I remember thinking, is this it? This is my final version of my new self? And the guilt for not "just being grateful to be alive" as I was told by the professionals i confided my feelings in was an awful feeling. I felt a bit like Frankenstein, all patched up but far from normal, let alone beautiful. I knew I wouldn't be happy settling and needed find another surgeon that could help me. When I found Dr. Ellsworth everything changed. From the first consultation to the meeting him and the staff in office ... all the way through after care, him and his team showed me more empathy than any other team I had consulted with. That was the biggest blessing. And then the results...phenomenal. More natural looking than most breast augs I've seen - and this surgery is nothing in comparison of complexity. I realize this review is very long so if you made it this far, I'm guessing you might be in a similar position. Remember this, your feelings are valid and you deserve to be here. Don't give up. If you're ready to take that jump into your next after cancer chapter I highly recommend you welcome the Ellsworth team into your tribe to help you with that next step. -Kristina
