“On the off chance that someone Yelps their plastic surgeon, I’d like to offer my deepest respects to this doctor. I had my reservations at first. I’ve always visited a female gyno for similar reasons, and it was a bit difficult for me to come to terms that I may be getting breast surgery from a man.I’m so glad that I chose him for my surgery. I had requested information from several Houston plastic surgeons, male and female, letting them know that I believed I may have a mild form of breast hypoplasia(tubular) breasts and that if I did I needed someone who knew what they were doing in regards to that.I’m so glad I went with Dr. Lapuerta. Really. I drove in from Greenspoint(where I live) some days, and some days I drove in from the Energy Corridor(where I work) and I couldn’t ask for a better doctor.I’m about 5 weeks post op, and he was the one that caught that the IV antibiotic that the nurse was giving me was too close to the one that I’m allergic to and we didn’t know my reaction to it(my mom had always just said I was allergic to it).For the first time in my life, I have cleavage. I’m still in a Fruit of the Loom sport bra(per the nurse), but I look down and instead of the tiny A cups that didn’t fill up anything, I see flesh. I see cleavage. I see a woman. I’m a curvy woman as is, but when your breasts don’t form the way you would expect(my mom and sister are both above G cups and looking at reductions).My only issue now is patience. I’m nulliparous. Dr. Lapuerta was very understanding that I wanted to see results, but I feel like he knows what he’s talking about. Right now, I’m waiting on the implants to drop, which he said could take up to six months since I’ve had no kids, so for now, I have what myself and my boyfriend affectionately refer to as “linebacker boobs.”I’m so impatient, but I know it’s going to be worth it. My scars are minimal. Especially since I think I chose the biggest implant that my body could handle. I’m so happy. Really.They give you his cell phone number if you need something, which thankfully I haven’t(and I don’t think I will) but he is clinical without being unapproachable if that makes sense. Like, I never felt uncomfortable with him, even as he’s got a measuring tape at parts of my body that have been seen by literally 6 people(not including whoever was in the operating room). It may be a bit of a wait, because he is fantastic. He is worth the wait. In two weeks, I’ll do my first bit of exercise post-op(a 1.5k walk) and I’ll start back on my diet. Once I reach my goal weight and tone, I may be back if my skin doesn’t pop back within a year. I hear you’re supposed to give your skin 18 months to pop back after weight loss, but if it doesn’t, I’m back with him for the tummy tuck.I know this review is like a book and I’m so sorry, but I’ve had two doctors in my life that that trust as much as this man, and the other was my gyno who retired. If you are thinking of any cosmetic procedure, check him out. Sure his website is kind of gimmicky, but he’s worth it. I deeply encourage you to at least have a consult with him. He’s amazing. I wish I could get my mom and sister in from Mississippi in to do reductions with him, he’s really that awesome. Give them a call. Brandi is who I spoke to(and emailed with) to get the ball rolling, but the entire staff is top notch.It’s the turn in after the school. Just so you don’t get lost(I did the first time). :)”
