Is J-Plasma necessary to get a good result? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
There is no compelling evidence that J plasma tightens skin to any clinically significant degree. The risks of overheating, scarring and skin damage outweighs the benefits.

Considering breast implant removal with a lift and fat transfer to replace the implants? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Thank you for your question. The best course of action in your case would be to do an SIEF operation. You could have the implants removed and Fat replaced. Once everything settled down, you could consider adjusting the position of the nipples. If you take the capsule out at the time of the implant removal, it is not possible to safely fat graft, because the fat will migrate into the pocket and you will have fat necrosis. in other words, when a SIEF is done, the capsule must be left intact. Hope this helps!

Can I decide where to place fat when undergoing a breast fat transfer?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Fat grafting to the breast is a great operation when performing the right patient. That grafting does not lift the breast however, so if you’re looking for a breast lift back, grafting is not going to accomplish that. You should probably have an in person appointment with a plastic surgeon in your area who is familiar with fat graft into the breast and you will get the best possible advice and how to proceed. Best regards.

Can I achieve my desired BBL results with this body type? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
You are a great candidate for 360 liposuction and BBL. You could have fat removed from your abdomen waist and back and place some of it it in your butt to make your hips wider and give your butt more projection and cuff. Is this what you're looking for?

Double bubble fat graft revision - tuberous breast (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
In cases like these, the native inframammary fold is persistent and will not yield contour redraping over the implant. In such cases fat grafting with careful needle band release (Rigottomies) is done to attain aesthetic convexification. Best Regards

Explant and wait or having fat transfer simultaneously?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
A technique of implant exchange is reported using recipient-site preexpansion followed by autologous fat transplantation to the breast in patients with breast implants who desired implant removal. Recip- ient-site preexpansion, used 2 weeks before fat grafting, may have both practical and theoretical benefits in increasing the breast subcutaneous space and stimulating the recipient-site microcellular environment overlying the prosthetic implant, allowing the subcutaneous insertion of a sufficient core volume of donor graft at the time of prosthetic explantation. In the cases described, the postexplantation breast volume at 9 months to 1 year postoperatively by quantitative three-dimensional imaging was equal to or greater than the preexplantation composite volume of breast and implant. Preexpansion before implant exchange with fat affords a more abundant space, completely independent from the subglandular or submuscular planes. In this new space, the “third space” of the breast, it is possible to technically place graft into the breast subcutaneous tissue and alleviate breast asymmetry resulting from pocket distortions caused by capsular contracture or by implant pocket drift. Observing breast augmen tation with implants and with fat grafting in the same patient affords a unique opportunity to analyze some of the key differences between the two techniques. Recipient-site preexpansion and simultaneous implant exchange with fat (SIEF) should be added to the list of applications where fat grafting to the breasts may have early clinical utility and portends the use of fat used in conjunction with breast implants to achieve better patient outcomes.

Balls of fat necrosis 2.5 years after BBL surgery (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hi, thank you for your question. I’m sorry that you’ve had trouble getting a hold of your previous surgeon. From the sounds of your story it’s most likely fat necrosis. The treatment of this varies, but the most conservative treatment is to try some needling to break up the firm area. Another option is to fat graft around the area to camouflage it. The third option and the most drastic is to remove the fat necrosis, which will leave a depression, requiring additional fat grafting in the future. Grafting should not be done at the time of removal. Hope this helps. Best -

Am I a good BBL candidate? What's steps do I need to take (weight loss, gain), recommendation for procedure (ex.thigh lipo etc.)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

- you’re a great candidate for Brazilian butt lift, “BBL”. You could remove fat from your abdomen,waist and back, snatch your waist, and give your buttock more projection and make your hips wider. If this is what you’re looking for BBL is the correct procedure.  

You should seek a physician who had performed Brazilian butt lift many times and has had no deaths and has great before and after’s and has done thousands of these procedures. You should also make sure that the surgeon only injects subcutaneously and NOT  deep into the muscle. There is no scientific evidence that being board-certified as a plastic surgeon connotes better safety or a better result- artistry experience and technical safety are the key factors 


Best regards, Dr. Daniel Del vecchio

Is there a way to fix my bbl? My goal is to fix my hip to thigh ratio and and correct my overall shape. Is It possible? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)

This is a problem that occurs when too much fat is placed in the Buttock with fracturing of the connective tissue and loss of support. The butt essencially blows out. In addition, failure to graft the outer thighs and posterior thigh creates an “ant” deformity.


Because the skin has been stretched out too much and the connective tissue support has been destroyed, removing fat from the Buttock is a dangerous proposition. Therefore the only way to correct this problem is to do buttock Lift with an incision in the upper portion of the Buttock. I have seen this problem a number of times and have corrected it this way.  No other technique is likely to be of benefit. 

I have sent you a link to a case 


Best Regards-

Best Liquid Rhinoplasty

I can't say enough about Dr D! I went in looking for a slight improvement in one area of my nose with minimal downtime and pain. He explained liquid rhinoplasty, ordered the top of the line materials, got me in quickly, and did a masterful job! I highly recommend him! This change was done in literally 5 minutes with zero recovery time and zero pain.

Brazilian Butt Lift

I am absolutely amazed

As a woman in my 50's, I had always joked to the fact I had no butt and stubborn fat that I could not shed, classic more gut than butt effect. After a 2 year struggle, I managed to lose 75 lbs. Due to chronic back and hip issues I had to diligently follow a better low carb diet to finally get the weight off. Stomach fat would not budge. I decided to do some research in my local area on liposuction and fat transfers. Along with many other surgeons, I came across Dr.Del Vecchio. It was a very simple process once I decided to move forward with the consultation. I met with Dr. Del Vecchio and continued my research on the procedures. He explained to me the steps that he would take to reach my desired image. I have to say one of the most important things was going in with an open mind and realistic expectations. After a month of research and reviewing surgeons, I opted to book my procedures for stomach Lipo and BBL with Dr.Del Vecchio. Everything went smooth as anticipated. I am now two weeks postop and have to say my outcome to this point is unbelievable. Everybody says the results will even get better over time as I continue to heal. I could not be happier with my results...even just two weeks post-op. I am absolutely amazed and never thought I would see this result on ME. For the first time in the last 30 years of my life, I have no gut and I have a butt that matches me perfectly. For anybody out there in a situation like mine, go with your gut and meet with Dr. Del Vecchio… He knows what to do with it. I would recommend Dr. Del Vecchio to anyone without hesitation. I could not be more happy with my results thus far and have already scheduled another future consult with him for other areas of concern. Hands-down, he is an artist in the plastic surgery world, and my expectations have been far exceeded.

The best there could ever be - could not be happier with my results

A master of his craft. I had a breast augmentation with a lift back in 2017 after having my daughter. Unhappy with my morphed results.. that same surgeon “fixed them” . After having the second surgery (implant exchange) I ended up with a capsular contracture on my left breast. Realizing that the size I had was way too big for my body frame, living with constant back pain, & losing sleep because of the constant discomfort, I knew it was time to take care of myself. It was clear that I would not return to the previous surgeon & I had a lot of research to do when choosing someone to fix the issue. Out of nervousness, I put this on hold for probably 3 years until I couldn’t take it any longer. Finally, I stumbled upon Dr.Del Vecchio. And thank god I did. Dr.Del Vecchio is not only a surgeon, but he is an artist with an incredible talent in the OR. His knowledge and expertise speak for themselves. I could not be happier with my results. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, please do yourself a favor & schedule a consult if you’re aiming for perfection!!

BBL créme de la créme - I always dreamed of an hourglass shape

There are plenty of plastic surgeons in the US but none of them come anywhere close to the level of Doctor Del Vecchio who remains alone on the golden stage of the podium as one of a kind. Looking back at my two rounds with him, I feel privileged and honored to have been a patient of such a wonderful surgeon. I met with several BBL surgeons before choosing Doctor Del Vecchio. I knew instinctively the minute I met him that he was the person I had been looking for. This man handles with extreme seriousness major responsibilities: he is not into small irrelevant chitchatting, and he will not upsell you anything unnecessary. His team will never call you to follow up or harass you. Folks are in the business of delivering excellence in a quiet, efficient, classy, and respectful way. Doctor Del Vecchio is a talented, artistic visionary with the finest BBL expertise. He pioneered the BBL surgery and has trained several surgeons across the globe to popularize this technique and make millions of patients like me happier in their bodies and lives. When choosing Doctor Del Vecchio, you will be hiring someone with a tremendous background of expertise: he has had decades of exposure to all sorts of body shapes and conditions. The BBL procedure is a complex one and I wanted a surgeon with longevity and sensitivity. I always dreamed of an hourglass shape which I was not born with, unlike the rest of my family. I do wear a 36DD size bra but had no hips, no defined waist, a small belly, and no butt. Working out made me look good but sports will never give you that coca cola shape that mother nature did not provide you with. My two rounds with Doctor Del Vecchio did! The first procedure took place in January 2020: my recovery was long and painful, but it was irrelevant to me because my life was about to change and for the better. My results exceeded my expectations : after I woke up from anesthesia, I simply could not believe my eyes and I am still emotional just thinking about it. Doctor Del Vecchio gave me the perfect measurements to match the size of my natural breasts: Waist: 23.6 inches Hips: 39.5 inches I discovered what being a feminine woman meant thanks to these hips and curves and gained confidence in myself like I had never done before. Three years later I wanted to eliminate fat I had gained in the back and decided to have a second round with Doctor Del Vecchio. Same patient, same doctor, better results, same magic. The feeling of gratitude and trust for his work and his diligent care will never leave me. I am now 13-weeks post op and I know both my procedures came from a wise decision as I am the happiest ever with my body. I really enjoyed having this procedure done in a smaller clinic where everything was custom-made and meticulously organized. This is another reason why Doctor Del Vecchio is “la crème de la crème ». You will not be « just a number » for him as each one of his patients is a work of art to leverage the best of their natural assets while optimizing what he will create for them to own and shine with. All his team is amazing: Shannon is clearly another rock and roll star handling everything and everyone. The nurses are experienced, patient, proactive and super organized. The anesthesiologist is another pro who made me feel I was in competent and caring hands. I would go back to this again with my eyes closed, it was the best decision I ever made.

40 Yr. Old Skinny BBL with Dr. Del Vecchio

This first post will be short because I am one day post op but after taking off my bandages…holy I look GOOD! I will post before and after pics for sure so every one can see the magic Dr. Del Vecchio and his can do. The first day SUCKS don’t get me wrong. But once you take the bandages off it’s all worth it. I have the body of a 20 year old bikini model!! My butt could lose half of its size (and it may) and I’ll still look amazing. I also asked for hips, the doc said he’d do his best, I was skinny to start, remember. My hips look spectacular! I never thought I would get results like this. When I am a little more comfortable, I can go over what you will need . The most important thing post op is having an amazing partner to stay with you and help you .
