			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Dr. Schwartz was very attentive. He took the time I needed to feel<br />
comfortable about the procedure &#8212; taking photographs, giving me specific<br />
recommendations, and thoroughly explaining what to expect. He was so<br />
meticulous, from the consultation through to follow-up, that I had no doubt the<br />
results would be fantastic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Turning 60 last year wasn&#8217;t nearly as hard for Vicki as she&#8217;d imagined it would be. She had<br />
a wonderful family, and a marriage that was still going strong after 40 years. She was also in<br />
great shape &#8212; with the body of a much younger woman.</p>
<p>There was just one problem; her face wasn&#8217;t holding up quite as well as her figure.</p>
<p>&#8220;I spend a lot of time working out and keeping my body looking good,&#8221; Vicki said.<br />
&#8220;However, in the last few years I&#8217;ve been feeling like my face didn&#8217;t match all the hard work<br />
I put into my body.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vicki still wanted to look attractive and sexy for her longtime husband. Having<br />
contemplated a facelift for some time, Vicki finally took the plunge and decided to seek out a<br />
plastic <a href="/dallas-plastic-surgeon/"title="Dallas Plastic Surgeon" >surgeon</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I explored plastic surgeons on the Internet, and what I discovered is that a lot of doctors<br />
specialize in <a href="/breast-augmentation-dallas/"title="Breast Augmentation Dallas" >breast augmentation</a>. Other procedures are almost an afterthought,&#8221; Vicki said.<br />
&#8220;Dr. Schwartz was more well-rounded, with a broad range of knowledge and experience.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vicki visited with two other doctors but was not satisfied with their consultations.</p>
<p>&#8220;They used their nurses for the interview process, made quick decisions and didn&#8217;t spend<br />
much time with me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Dr. Schwartz was very attentive and took the time I needed<br />
to feel comfortable about the procedure &#8212; taking photographs, giving me specific<br />
recommendations, and thoroughly explaining what to expect.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Schwartz was also careful not to rush the procedure, even after it was scheduled, Vicki<br />
said. He postponed her <a href="/dallas-plastic-surgery/"title="Dallas Plastic Surgery" >surgery</a> twice &#8212; once when she had a sinus infection and again when<br />
her blood pressure was too high &#8211; out of an abundance of caution.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was so meticulous, from the consultation through to follow-up, that I had no doubt the<br />
results would be fantastic. I am so happy with how everything turned out. I respect Dr.<br />
Schwartz and his staff so much that I would recommend him to anyone.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Before my breast reduction and lift, my breasts were simply unmanageable.<br />
Now when I take off my bra, my breasts are where they&#8217;re supposed to be; they<br />
don&#8217;t feel painful or heavy. I am so grateful to Dr. Schwartz for making me feel<br />
so beautiful on one of the most important days of my life, my wedding day.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a bride-to-be with dress fittings and a wedding right around the corner, Toni finally<br />
decided to pursue the breast reduction she had long desired.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would say that my breasts were unmanageable. I&#8217;ve always had large breasts since junior<br />
high, and they only got worse after my son was born,&#8221; Toni said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve known for quite some<br />
time that I needed to do something about them, and it became a higher priority when my<br />
wedding was approaching and I wanted to look my very best.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like many others, Toni learned about Dr. Robert Schwartz on his popular Dallas radio show,<br />
&#8220;Plastic <a href="/dallas-plastic-surgery/"title="Dallas Plastic Surgery" >Surgery</a> Today,&#8221; on 105.3 Free FM. She was impressed by his answers to callers.</p>
<p>&#8220;I started doing my research on doctors and what type of procedure I needed, and after<br />
hearing Dr. Schwartz, I quickly added him to my list,&#8221; Toni said. &#8220;He stood out on the radio<br />
as someone who was not only personable and honest, but also knowledgeable of the latest<br />
technological advances.&#8221;</p>
<p>After talking with the first two doctors she had researched, Toni almost decided to scrap the<br />
idea of having her breasts reduced and lifted altogether.</p>
<p>&#8220;The other doctors were recommending an older type of procedure that seemed very harsh.<br />
They also tried to talk me into adding implants and other procedures that were completely<br />
unnecessary,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Until I met Dr. Schwartz, I was about to give up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Schwartz restored Toni&#8217;s confidence by offering her a better solution that gave her the<br />
breasts she wanted just in time for her wedding.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I take off my bra now, my breasts are where they are supposed to be; they don&#8217;t feel<br />
painful or heavy,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Before the procedure, I had a fitting for my wedding dress and I<br />
had to wear this awful, uncomfortable corset thing to keep my breasts in place. After the<br />
reduction and lift, I didn&#8217;t need the corset and my dress fit perfectly.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am so grateful to Dr. Schwartz for making me feel so beautiful on one of the most<br />
important days of my life.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-429" href="http://www.rsplastic.com/archives/195/meghan-allen/" title="Meghan Allen"></a><a href="http://www.rsplastic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/meghan-allen-large11.jpg" title="Megahn Allen"></a><a href="http://www.rsplastic.com/archives/195"><img border="0" width="1" src="http://www.rsplastic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/meghan-allen-large11.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Meghan Allen" height="1" /></a>“I wasn’t unhappy with my body before <a href="/breast-augmentation-dallas/"title="Breast Augmentation Dallas" >breast augmentation</a>; in fact, I first appeared in Playboy without implants. But I wanted my clothing to fit better. There were dresses and shirts I couldn’t wear at 32B – or had to wear with a bra even though the clothes weren’t designed for that. Dr. Schwartz helped me decide on just the right size and shape for me, and I’ve been thrilled with the results.”</p>
<p>Meghan Allen has been in the public eye since 2003, when she first appeared on the hit NBC television series “Fear Factor.” The show led to additional TV appearances as well as a “Women of Fear Factor” Playboy pictorial and video.</p>
<p>Later this year, Meghan will be a Playboy Cybergirl and possibly Playmate of the Month.</p>
<p>“I wasn’t unhappy with my body before breast augmentation; in fact, I first appeared in Playboy without implants,” said the 26-year-old Pennsylvania native.</p>
<p>Meghan’s main reason for opting for saline <a href="/breast-implants-dallas/"title="Breast Implants Dallas" >breast implants</a> in October 2006, she said, was a desire to expand her wardrobe options.</p>
<p>“I wanted my clothing to fit better,” she said. “There were dresses and shirts I couldn’t wear at 32B – or had to wear with a bra even though the clothes weren’t designed for that.”</p>
<p>Meghan selected Dr. Robert Schwartz for her procedure after consulting with friends and doing extensive research on the Internet. She said she knew she’d made the right choice during her first meeting with Dr. Schwartz.</p>
<p>“I went in thinking that I wanted to be 32D or 34D. And I know from my friends that a lot of doctors will do exactly what you tell them to do,” Meghan said.</p>
<p>“But Dr. Schwartz wanted to make sure I had weighed my decision carefully. He walked me through dozens of photos of real women who’d had breast augmentation, so I could see what different sizes looked like on women of various heights and weights. In the process, I realized that I might not be happy with D cups, since I was 5’4’ and 105 pounds.</p>
<p>“I ended up going with 34C, and it was the best decision I could have made. Without Dr. Schwartz’s guidance and willingness to listen, I might have a made a serious mistake.”</p>
<p>Meghan said Dr. Schwartz also educated her on the pros and cons of different types of incisions. She eventually chose to have incisions under the breasts (inframammary crease) rather than through the nipple, armpit or navel.</p>
<p>“He’s very patient. He really wants you to be happy with the outcome,” she said. “And the incision we chose worked out really well. You cannot see the scar at all, unless you’re in a horizontal position.”</p>
<p>Dr. Schwartz’s commitment to keeping Meghan comfortable and informed extended to the day of <a href="/dallas-plastic-surgery/"title="Dallas Plastic Surgery" >surgery</a> and beyond.</p>
<p>“At the hospital, he met with me and went through all of my decisions one last time, to make sure I understood them and was satisfied with them,” she said. “Then, after the procedure, I had several follow-up appointments with Dr. Schwartz, starting two days after the surgery.</p>
<p>“He made sure I knew what to expect, so I wouldn’t be freaked out by anything. For example, the implants start out higher on the body and then gradually come down to the right place. In my case, one fell before the other – but he told me that might happen, so I was expecting it,” she said.</p>
<p>Meghan said the reaction to her breast augmentation has been universally positive.</p>
<p>“Women who know I’ve had the procedure have told me that they’re amazed by how natural they look and feel,” she said. “In fact, my mom had hers done 17 years ago – and now she’s thinking about having them redone by Dr. Schwartz.”</p>
