My motivation was to revise my current implants (remove and replace) and correct a capsular contracture, i wanted a better look than what i currently had in both implants. I did not like the way they looked at all. the outcome was better than i thought. excellent work. He did a lot of detail work on me, I am very happy with the results. i feel great !! I can actually look in the mirror again and really like what i see.

I am very satisfied with my results. Everything is settling down and swelling subsiding. I do not have a brusing or any pain. My incision line is very clean. I feel great and am following my doctors post op directions to the T. I am glad I decided to have this taken care of when I did too. Good time to rest and recoup, while the weather is cold.

I rate Dr. Mele and his office 5 stars because they deserve it. I researched many Doctors in the Bay Area and L.A., i had consultations with 5 differenent Doctors and got 5 different answers. I was confused to say the least. My knew my revision was not a walk in the park. I found Dr. Mele to be very kind and he took the time to explain things to me. I did not feel like a number. He gave me suggestions ( not just one), and never said , This is how its going to be done, or not at all. Like some of the others did. I feel like he really gave some thought to my situation. I am very happy with the outcome and i think he did a spectacular job. The pros of my experience with Dr. Mele and his office is positive. He is very nice and caring. A really good man. Also, his office staff is superb.
