My surgery with Dr Passaretti was very successful. He is confident and competent, invested in educating me about the procedure, and eased all of my concerns. The results were as promised. He is easy to talk to and his staff is professional and attentive.
As a 36 C/D I had very low-hanging boobs that were hurting my neck all the time. I knew I hated my boobs but was always worried about doing elective surgery and having something happen. I finally got to the point where I could not stand it anymore and went for a consult. I felt so much more comfortable having met Dr. Passeretti. He told me what he suggested and I knew he would do a great job. I am 5 weeks after and am GRATEFUL I did it. I love my boobs, feel so much better and feel beautiful and thinner. It was a lift and slight reduction and it was the best decision I could have made. He did beautiful work and it was easy and not a lot of pain at all. I only needed extra strength tylenol for two days. If you are wondering if you should do this - meet him!

Dr. Passaretti performed my breast reconstruction after double mastectomies. His skill and compassion make him stand out in his field. He not only took the time to listen to my concerns, but also answered each and every question with patience, kindness and humanity. He made an extremely difficult situation so manageable. His staff is equally professional and efficient. They completed multiple forms for my short term disability expeditiously. I am very grateful that my breast surgeon recommended Dr. Passaretti to me. I highly recommend this plastic surgery team.

Dr. David Passaretti in Darien, CT is a consummate professional, talented surgeon who delivers beautiful results. His bed side manner is wonderful and his staff was extremely helpful before, during and after my procedure. I had major abdominal surgery. He repaired my diastaysis recti, several hernias, abdominal tears, and liposuction. He was so supportive and kind and was accessible whenever I needed he or his staff. His anesthesiologist was just as wonderful. This is a first class experience from start to finish. His aesthetic center and OR suite was immaculate and better than any hospital setting due to the safety and efficiency. I would rate my experience and surgical outcome a 10 out of 10 and would trust Dr. Passaretti with any major surgical procedure. He is an amazing surgeon and great person!
Tummy tuck when combined with liposuction is a very safe procedure that can provide beautiful long lasting results, it does however have a significant recovery. I have patients prepare for a 4 to 6 weeks of recovery. Although there are things we can do to ease the recovery, including local anesthetics, tumescent techniques, and Exparel, the lengthy recovery is due to the muscle repair and there is simply no way to speed this process up. Promises of speedy recovery should be viewed with caution. The preparation for the postoperative period is one of the most important things you can do to ensure good results and minimize complications. Having a support network in place is critical. The abdominal muscles are large strong muscles that we use for almost everything. Unlike an arm or a leg which you can simply avoid using, the abdominal muscles engage for nearly all activities. The recovery can be broken down into phases. The first two weeks patients have drains and mobility will be very limited; getting around the house slowly, few trips outside the house, and no driving. You may need help getting out of bed our up from a chair. Someone else will have to assume all of your normal responsibilities. From week two to four or six you will gradually start returning to most normal activities including driving and some forms of work, but still no strenuous exercise or lifting. By about 4 to 6 weeks most patients will be back to all of there normal activities with the exception of exercise that directly targets the abdominal muscles. This is usually closer to 10 weeks. During this period patients may still feel tired and stiff, this will gradually resolve over two to three months. and finally, while most of the swelling has resolved by three months, final results aren't seen until at least one year, especially in the lower part of the abdomen and the mons. Numbness, tingling, burning and shooting sensations will also likely persist for the first year. It is a wonderful operation that can be truly life changing. Just remember that after selecting the most skilled surgeon you can find, adequate preparation for the post op recovery is the most important thing you can do!
