My plastic surgeon sexualized my pain and pressured me to write positive reviews. I want to warn others.

I had a breast reduction surgery in Coronado, San Diego. I was a G cup and I went in asking to be reduced as small as possible, even an A cup, because I have lived with pain and discomfort for years.

He immediately dismissed me and said “nobody wants to be an A.” Then he looked me in the eye and said “I can just cut them off so you do not have anything.” He also suggested moving fat from my butt to my chest, which I never asked for. At one point, he told me to come back for a tummy tuck after I was done having kids. I had never asked for his opinion about my stomach.

On top of all this, after the surgery, while I was still healing, he had me sit in the patient room and asked me to leave five-star reviews on Yelp and Google. He told me to tell all my military wife friends about him. I had not even processed how I felt about my surgery yet. I was still recovering and in pain, and he spent over ten minutes pressuring me to boost his business.

From the very first appointment, I felt uneasy. I brought my son with me because I had no childcare and he was crying and anxious. The doctor seemed visibly annoyed and impatient. That feeling of discomfort never went away.

I left feeling objectified, dismissed, and used. This experience was not about care. It was about control and image. I want other women to know what I experienced in case they are researching this provider.
