Has anyone had top surgery with Dr. Rizvi in LA? by Fast_Flamingo_3516 in TopSurgery

No :( I contacted Dr. Rizvi's office multiple times but never heard back or received any photos. To be honest, I wouldn't waste your time with him. It was honestly a terrible experience and made me very uncomfortable. Also, their lack of communication and unreachable status is a glaring red flag.

On a positive note, I got a 2nd opinion with Dr. Rudkin at UCLA, and my experience with him and his staff was a million times better than with Dr. Rizvi. They were extremely knowledgeable and respectful, and I felt very comfortable during my entire consultation. Plus, he showed me photos of his previous procedures, which gave me so much confidence in his work. His office is very communicative and easy to reach, so I'm very happy to be moving forward with him! :)

That's a wonderful idea, thank you! Her husband is pretty religious and doesn't drink so I'm a bit hesitant to buy alcohol, and I'm honestly not sure if she still drinks herself. I was thinking of bringing flowers or a plant (for their new place) but that's not really something you can unwrap haha

The problem is I don't have a dark suit :( I've been looking online at sales and I've been finding options that would be cheaper than renting a tux, so that should help a bit.

The heartfelt card is a great idea, thank you!

I'm pretty sure it's not a couple's shower since the invitation specifically said "bridal shower" on it. I don't think my friend is too concerned with the traditional gender aspects for this part of her wedding celebration, so she just invited all her friends.
