Breast Enhancement Surgery in Birmingham

Great staff so friendly. Doctor very personable

Dr Beckenstein is the best plastic surgeon I know!!! If you go to anyone go to him! I did all my research and he seriously is the best! It’s been 7 years since I had my work done and I would go again! He’s awesome!!!!!!!!!! ✌️

Dr. Beckenstein and staff have been nothing from extraordinary from consult to 4 month post op! He rocks! He believed in me and I in him. Ty forever changing my life!

Everyone was very courteous and professional and made me feel very easy and right at home. I would highly recommend them.

Most professional, caring, efficient office I have ever encountered. The staff is a reflection of the excellence of Dr. Beckenstein. I highly recommend this practice to everyone looking for the best!!!!

Dr. Beckenstein and his entire staff are wonderful! I had a breast reduction done on 07/12/21, and I couldn’t be more happy with the results! I only wish I would have had the surgery sooner! I just wanted to share my experience with Dr. Beckenstein, and how comfortable I felt through the entire process! Thank you Dr. Beckenstein and staff for being so sweet and taking care of me!!! 💗

There are only two words to describe the entire staff and experience..THE BEST!!!!

I went for my consultation yesterday and it went great. Dr. Beckenstein and his staff were very professional and kind. They answered all my questions and have given me the confidence to continue with my procedure. I'm looking forward to the day!

Dr. Beckenstein and staff go above and beyond to make each visit comfortable and personal. From receptionist on phone to the receptionist that checks you out is 5 star service. Breast reduction was something I had thought about many times but not seriously. After a friend had it done and seeing her results it became a reality for me. Dr. Beckenstein made it as pleasant procedure and recovery as could be. I had a few problems, questions during post op time and his staff and he were always right on it. Something no one ever wants to hear but cancer cells were found in my breast tissue when sent to pathology. So not only do I look better, feel better, my reduction prolly saved my life. Today I’m headed to my first oncologist appointment. Thank you to Dr and staff! Ty for job well done.

Always a great experience. The staff is super friendly and the doctor listens and doesn’t rush his patients. I’ve always felt heard and cared for during my visits. I always leave with my questions answered.

The team is professional and personable. Dr. Beckenstein’s skill and commitment to accuracy is much respected and appreciated.

Love Dr Beckenstein and all the Ladies that work there, they go above and beyond to make sure your treated like Family. I couldn’t ask for a Better Doctor while going thru this journey of Breast Cancer.

I'm so impressed by Dr. Beckenstein. He makes the process so simple. He's very caring and knowledgeable about what he's doing. And I got chocolate, who can beat that. Tameyka Howe

He’s the best! Recommend him for any of your needs.

These people are absolutely amazing- I recently found out that I have breast cancer- Dr Beckenstein and his staff, not only made me feel at ease, they showed it as well.. I truly feel more at ease and I know these wonderful “friends” have me and will take care of me. Simply a wonderful experience and such great people all around..

Absolutely love everyone from the moment of check-in and upon checking out,everyone has a pleasant personality and very patient and knowledgeable of services rendered. I have gone through a lot over the past 3 months and I am eternally grateful for everyone in this office that for being understanding and compassionate. ❤️

Dr. Beckenstein and his Staff are the BEST!!!

Dr. B and his staff are the best. They are committed to excellent service and results and it's evident in everything that they do. I could not be happier with my experience in their care.

Love the atmosphere and Dr. Beckenstein is straight forward and answered all of my questions!!

I came in for a consultation regarding revision surgery for a double mastectomy. Everyone there is super kind, respectful, and personable! I felt comfortable, understood, and welcome the entire time I was there. The waiting room and the general atmosphere are very cozy and warm-feeling; this helped very much with reducing any anticipatory anxiety I had. Transgender friendly. Highly recommend going to Beckenstein!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Beckenstein and his staff. I became a patient of his mid 2018. I’ve never had anything less than a great experience every time I called or visited the office. I am a transman and have undergone top surgery performed by Dr. B. He did a great job, and the entire staff has always been very supportive as well as warm and welcoming. Dr. B is a talented surgeon who is knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, and highly accomplished. His staff is equally friendly, thorough, and very accommodating. I must give a special mention to Janet, as she has been an absolute delight, and she is wonderful with the many responsibilities she carries. I have and will continue to refer others to Dr. Beckenstein!

Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are super friendly and very attentive. I had a million questions about my surgery and he answered them all with a smile.

stitches at the point of the "T" incision came loose (bottom of the breast). They told me not to worry, it would heal. In the meantime, blood poured then seeped from the incision. I was terrified. They eventually closed after a few weeks and they look awful (VERY visible zig-zag pattern). My sutures were not consistent and loose. Large gaps between stiches. They had the appearance of a grade school child sewing their first piece of fabric together. It still looks awful to this day - I even have a large gap that was never stitched properly and catches skin debris similar to a (huge .25 inch) blackhead. I can slip the tip of my pinky into the opening like a belly-button. My areolas were perfect after the surgery. A few months later, they turned into large ovals and my breasts dropped. I returned to Dr. Beckenstein with my unhappy results (STILL uneven breasts; oval, different size areolas, open gaps between stiches, pinched skin due to bad stitching) and I was told personally that ALL could be fixed for an ADDITIONAL $5K. The offer was only good for a short time, then the price would go up. I had already paid close to $13K for the initial surgery. I could not afford the additional monies in addition to taking time off from work. I though that Dr. Beckenstein would correct the errors at no cost as part of the procedure. I would have agreed to pay to replace the larger implant because I know it must be difficult to guess the size when a patient has an uneven breast, but for me to pay for ALL??? When I tried to express my disappointment and regret, he quickly stopped me and asked his assistant to bring in the "before" photos. I refused to look at them and the conversation ended. I was ushered into the billing office to make arrangements for the corrective surgery. I expressed my concerns to the billing agent who was at least honest with me about the pain involved. She said that the corrective procedure would be "half the pain the original surgery was". I said I would think about it. I was in shock. I couldn't believe that Dr. Beckenstein would charge me so much and take NO accountability. It was clear to me that I wasn't being cared for as a human being, but rather as cash flow. If I had to do it all again, I would NOT have had this procedure. I can't even wear low-cut clothing because the incisions from below the breast can EASILY be seen! Shopping for bras continues to be an issue due to my uneven breast size - one cup larger than the other. In addition, they are SO uncomfortable (I was a "C" and wanted my breasts to be lifted, as well as increase the size of my smaller breast to "C". I also wanted the appearance of the "teardrop" breast - something the doctor will not talk about. They are all round. I wasn't explained "why" this was when I have had other friends request breast shapes. My clothing doesn't fit right and the difference size is very apparent, I have asked my family and friends and they can see it. If you are considering this procedure for cosmetic reasons, give your breasts a lift, DON'T do it. It's NOT worth it. All the perfect ratings you see are the lucky ones OR they are filtered to reflect only the positive. Those of us who have had heart-breaking experiences are stuck with our results for a lifetime. It took me over 3 years to post this out of embarrassment and thinking that maybe I was the "only one". Not so. I wish I had never gone through with it and that I had spoken to patients who have had this procedure. In addition to the awful results and the costly remediation option this physician gave me, I also have lifetime nerve pain. My breasts always hurt (and i do mean always) and my left nipple aches all the time 24/7. It feels as though there are needles poking or pinching. NOTHING helps with the pain. It is also uncomfortable to sleep. Clothing fits funny, uneven. I am in my early 40's, no pre-existing health conditions, have one child, and work. There was little risk that my procedure would have the results explained above. After being told of the risks, I thought, "it won't happen to me". It did. Be happy with what you have, use push-up bra's, anything but surgery. I know it is a personal choice, but I would not want anyone to go though what I have gone through. Good luck in your journey and I wish you nothing but the best.

I have been a patient of Dr. B for almost 2 years now and I must say he and his staff have been more than amazing to me . Being that I am a transmale it is very important to me that i find a doctor with a team who is understanding and supportive and cares more about the patient than the money . I’ve had to cancel my surgery a few times because of personal reasons but his staff has never let me down with being communicative and trying to help me . I love them and I’m glad I’ve chosen Dr. B to do my top surgery!!!

My experience from beginning to end was exceptional! The entire staff is truly one of a kind!

Everyone was friendly and courteous and informative

It was a great experience! I felt confident that I would be well taken care of. Dr Beckenstein AND his staff were curtious. I didn't feel like "just another patient"coming through. The Dr took time with us as a group and individual ad well; explainning in detail what the procedure entailed. And made time for questions.....I felt fully informed. And the chocolate bar was a nice touch.

I have 23 years of experience with Dr. Beckenstein. After Battling breast cancer along with the help of God he gave me back a lot of the self esteem I had lost due to chemotherapy & surgeries. 23 years later I still look great and looking forward to see him and the staff again soon! 🙌🏾🎁❤️

Love this place! Everyone there is so sweet and nice. They always make you comfortable. Only thing is I wish the Dr would take a little more time with you. Cause I get in a hurry to try to think of my questions and I forget them. He is a very caring, compassionate and thorough Dr. Dr Beckenstein does great work and and the staff is wonderful and highly recommend him.

Dr. Beckenstein was knowledgeable and experienced. He was very detailed on what to expect.

Dr. Beckenstein and his staff really care about their patients, and I couldn’t be any happier with my results.

I have been very happy with the way everyone treated me while under the care of Dr. Beckenstein. EVERYONE there was , is, and will always treat you with respect and understanding. I will always recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I highly recommend this doctor and his staff. My surgical results are beautiful. I have always been treated wonderfully by them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Beckenstein, he is superb! Waiting room and examining rooms offer a great first impression: they are clean, colorful, and quite tastefully decorated. Nurses and staff greet everyone with warmth and gives Hershey chocolate or peppermint before you leave. Wait time is brief. Dr. B walks in with a genuine smile. He really listens to the patient. He laughs easily which has a calming effect particularly on someone who is nervous about invasive procedures. His skills as a surgeon are top notch. He respects your time by getting the patient in and out quickly. I am truly impressed by this surgeon.

Very interested in my medical history and listened to what my issues were.

Wonderful Wonderful experience ❤. Dr Beckenstein and staff are the best!!

I originally had my double mastectomy with another surgeon and didn’t have much help at all with aftercare or support when I found out I’d need Lat Flap reconstruction after after radiation. My experience with Dr Bekenstein and his staff has been completely different, from the office staff to all of medical team. Overall wonderful experience ! If you need breast reconstruction this is the place to be. Not to mention my results are better than expected.

Dr. Beckenstein did my breast reduction and from the first consultation I felt like I was in good hands. His staff is excellent and made me feel totally comfortable moving forward with the surgery. I am THRILLED with my results. It’s even better than I hoped, truly life changing. Recovery was smooth with no complications. I would recommend him 100x over!

The atmosphere in the office was great, the staff was friendly, and Dr. Beckenstein was so personable. It's very rare you find a doctor who cares about their patients.

I had a great experience with the staff . Dr.Beckenstein has a great and wonderful rapport with his patients , I love how they cared about me and my Breast , Dr. Beckenstein a wonderful Doctor and I just want to thank him and his staff.

This entire staff is fantastic and you cant find anyone better than Dr. Beckenstein!!! He is outstanding! They are all like family to me!!! He makes you feel like you are in excellent hands! He goes beyond just being a great doctor! He gets to know YOU and listens!

Dr. Beckenstein answered all my questions without me asking. He made me feel very comfortable during my consult. The vibe I got from him is that, he made feel like my safety is his top concern.

Everyone at Dr. Beckenstein's practice (Dr. B, nurses, techs, coordinators, scheduler, etc.) is always so nice, caring and quick to respond to any and all questions I may have. Their service is exemplary in my opinion. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone.

My entire experience with Dr. Beckenstein’s office was wonderful. Their office staff was more than helpful and friendly. Dr. Beckenstein is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He makes you feel very comfortable with his compassionate bedside manner.

My wife had Dr Beckenstein for her reconstruction surgery. Dr Beckenstein is a wonderful, compassionate, and he did a wonderful job of reconstructing her breast, and lifting her other breast. We would recommend Dr Beckenstein for any one who needs any kind of plastic surgery.

Dr Beckenstein and his staff are super nice and attentive to their patient’s needs. I highly recommend them.

I had a breast reduction in March. I have been very happy with my results. I feel that for a long time I was very self-conscious due to my large chest. I would wear large shirts that looked like a potato sack on my because if I wore a medium, I felt like I was squeezed into. Since my breast reduction, I have gone down to a small. I have also quit biting my nails. Not that it correlates, but my self confidence is greatly improved. Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are wonderful, caring. I could not have asked for a better team caring for me.

He was very personable, understanding, and professional. Before breast reduction I’d never like the way I look, but he gave me confidence. It’s been a year already!! A big thank you to Dr. Beckinstein and his staff. Highly recommended!!

The entire office is amazing and works diligently with you and the doctor. Each visit has been pleasant, quick, and to the point. Not only is he a people's person so is his staff and they are very professional. Dr. Beckenstein is easy to talk to and even if he may think you are saying or asking for something far fetched...lol... he'll never show it. He just says let's see if we can do it.

I underwent a breast reduction and I am well pleased with my results. Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are great. He’s very kind, compassionate, and caring, his staff is wonderful as well. They are very nice and efficient. Your completely prepared with everything you need before you ever have your procedure. They call you back quickly if you need anything. I would definitely use him again.

I wish I could give Him 1000 stars My surgery went very well ...Dr Beckenstein is very kind and caring .his staff is very compassionate and tentative. I would reccomend his practice for your surgery Needs ....

Dr. Beckenstein has a really positive attitude and bedside manner. He is very thorough and takes his time to discuss what he will do in great detail. I am happy with my results and will definitely recommend him to other friends of mine. On a personal note, he seems to be well respected by his peers at St. Vincent's hospital and they all had wonderful things to say about him. I felt truly blessed to have him as my doctor!

Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are the most caring and knowledgeable people I have ever met. They were willing to walk you through the process step by step and always very professional. I will gladly recommend their services to everyone!

I have been so happy with my results after my bi-lateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Thank you Dr B💕

Amazing!

Very pleased! They explained everything, very patient, very nice staff.

Every visit I’ve ever had at Dr. Beckensteins office has been just wonderful. From my very first visit he and his staff made me feel very comfortable with what I was going through. Dr. Beckenstein called me at home to check on me after my double masectomy with reconstruction and that really means a lot. From the office personnel to the nursing staff and finally Dr. Beckenstein they are all top notch in their profession. When I have friends ask questions and inquire about my doctors I have used during this past year I always begin by telling them how wonderful Dr. B is. Thank y’all so much for all you have done for me. I’ll see y’all soon!

Awesome compassionate Dr.! Did a beautiful job on my breast reconstruction. I drove for 2 hours each way to see him!!

He performed my breast reduction when I was 16. After 2 kids and 30 years old my breast haven't change at all.

Dr. Beckenstein is a caring, personable doctor who made me feel very at ease about my upcoming surgery. Not for nothing, his staff are the most professional, friendly group I've worked with in B'ham. Highly recommend!

Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are the best!! Dr. Beckenstein really listens to you and addresses your concerns. He has such a positive energy and desire to help . The whole staff are so helpful and courteous and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and address any issues you might have. I am so thankful to all of them for all they did to help me through my breast reconstruction after having a double mastectomy about 7 years ago.

I really like the welcome and care that I received at Dr. Beckenstein's office!

Dr. Beckenstein and his staff have been outstanding in every way! He is very knowledgeable and puts you at ease. The staff has been pleasant, accommodating, and efficient. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone needing their services!

He is an excellent and considerate plastic surgeon. And his staff is great and always on top of things.

He is very caring, understanding, and shows much interest in his patients. And he always has encouraging words! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Beckenstein and staff are wonderful. I would highly recommend this office.

Dr. Beckenstein and his staff are excellent. Period.

My consultation with Dr. Beckenstein was great. The staff was professional and courteous, and Dr. Beckenstein explained things in a clear, concise manner.

I had a very nice experience going in to see Dr. Beckenstein. Very nice office/lobby, friendly staff and hardly any wait for your appointment. A very nice surprise!

Dr Beckenstein is phenomenal! He did a breast reduction for me earlier this year. I had previously met with 2 plastic surgeons who wanted me to pay out of pocket for the entire surgery. I knew I should qualify for insurance to cover it but those 2 doctors didn’t want to bear the burden so they placed it all on me. Once Dr Beckenstein saw me, his office had my insurance approved in less than 24 hours! I hated my large size, I suffered from neck and shoulder pain and had migraines frequently. Since my surgery, I rarely get migraines and I love my reduced size. Dr Beckenstein is caring and goes above and beyond in taking care of you! His office and staff are thorough and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr Beckenstein! Nothing short of amazing!!!

Dr. Beckenstein was so nice, knowledgeable, comforting, and alleviated all my concerns.

The waiting room was comfortable and wait time was minimal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Dr. Beckenstein was very personable and extremely professional. He made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions.

Very satisfied with visit

The entire staff was completely courteous, knowledgeable and timely. I've had many doctor appointments in many areas this year and this by far was the best experience!

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Michael Beckenstein and his staff. They have treated me with compassion and expert care. I am a breast cancer survivor and I had a bilateral mastectomy. Dr. Beckenstein performed my reconstruction procedure. He has attended to my every need and has informed me of every stage of my process. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Beckenstein! He is highly skilled and a wonderful, compassionate soul!

Visited with Dr. Beckenstein regarding breast reconstruction. I work in healthcare and I notice everything. Everyone I encountered in his office was professional, helpful, and answered all questions. Minimal wait time and the office staff kept things moving along. He was generous with both his time and explanation of procedures, options, and outcomes. I never felt rushed or that I was just another patient that day. I left feeling that this surgeon is skilled, professional, and sincere.

I've always felt as though everyone cared about my health and how I was feeling. Prompt service. Great doctor and staff!

The entire staff is very efficient and friendly. Dr. Beckenstein always has time for questions. I am very pleased with the outcome of my double mastectomy and reconstruction. People that didn't know about the cancer and surgery would never know anything had happened. To me that is a sure sign of excellence.

I have been treated with nothing but respect. I had a reduction and never had any pain. Dr B plans ahead so you have everything you need and might need at home prior to surgery so that you can focus on getting home and healing. Appointment was quick and easy. I highly recommend him and his staff. Thank you dr B I feel amazing

I found the staff very kind, courteous and professional. As a former Medical Office Manager, these things are so important to the patient experience. Dr. Beckenstein was wonderful. He took his time, carefully explained my options, offered examples and photos, and most importantly, listened. This physician cares about his patients.

My husband & I have been very pleased with my care & the staff. Everyone is always helpful & friendly & competent.

I went through breast cancer last year, I had some complications with healing during chemo . My reconstruction is finally going forward and looking good. Dr Beckenstein is so positive and reassuring, love him and all his precious staff. Those girls on his staff all have a place in my heart! I highly recommend Dr Beckenstein he is absolutely the best plastic surgeon!

I wasn’t sure what to expect going forward on my journey. Let’s just say it like this. Everyone in Dr. B staff and he are the most awesome group of individuals. I’ve been to the office numerous times now and not once did I ever have to second guess my decision of picking them as my savior. I am not completely finished with my journey but if I have any questions of what to expect next, they are all very well trained and they bring you comfort. Thank you Dr. B and Staff

The ENTIRE staff is fabulous!!!! Dr. Beckenstein is the best of the best and has a great bedside manner!!!

I can't say enough good things about this practice! Dr. Beckenstein and his staff have provided the utmost compassion and care for me. I have not been an ideal patient and have required extra surgeries and extra care. I would not want anyone else taking care of me on this journey I did not choose but have learned and grown from! Thank you! You are very dear to my heart!
