I had suffered with terrible back pain my entire life. I was a size H cup. Upon meeting Mr. Maiorino, I knew he was the surgeon for me. He was very kind, explained the procedure thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. My breasts are perfectly proportioned to my body and symmetric. The best plastic surgeon around. Amazing work.
I absolutely love this Doctor!!! He gave me exactly what I asked for and nothing more. Boosted my confidence back to 1000 after having my first child and being left with long breast!!! I wouldn't go to anybody else for any other cosmetic procedure! He was very honest about all pre opp and post opp care. He made sure I was comfortable the entire way, and whenever I had a question for him he answered everything! I love the entire surgery team! I got a lift and implants and didn't have 1 day of pain! Looking forward to my BBL procedure with him in just a few weeks! :) Updated on 16 Sep 2022: This man is seriously a miracle worker! 2 days post opt and I LOVE my results all ready! Cant wait to wear a thong on the beach! I have only taken over the counter pain meds, no narcotics and was up and moving around the very next day!!! Im so stoked and cant wait until I can flaunt my new curves. :)
My experience with Dr. Maiorino could not have gone any smoother. He explained the procedure, answered my questions thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. Great bedside manners. I was a size H and went down to a DD. The size is very proportionate to my body. They are perfectly symmetric and the scars have healed beautifully. My back pain is all gone and I finally can fit into shirts I had never imagined wearing. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Maiorino. Absolutely excellent surgeon!
Dr. Maiorino was truly amazing! He epitomized patient excellence and made me feel comfortable and heard. I lived in severe pain from overly large breasts everyday for 6 years and I am finally living pain free! Dr. Maiorino was very careful and took off just the right amount to fit my proportions. He was very thorough in explaining before and aftercare, the procedure, and expectation management for my new life. Dr. Maiorino was nothing less than fabulous and he gave me my career, my life, and me back! If you are looking into breast reduction, I couldn't give a higher recommendation; this is the guy!
I found Dr. Mariano through my health insurance after i made the decision at 55 to have a breast reduction after menopause caused them to fall which was too much on my back at 145 pounds He did an excellent job and 2 and half months later im doing well good surgeon highly recommend him Thanks!
Dr. Maiorino is a literal god send. He's compassionate, empathetic and enthusiastic. He handled my breast reduction revision surgery like a true professional. When I saw him initially I was incredibly emotional and distraught with my results from my surgery done 4 months earlier by an old colleague of his. Dr. Maiorino patiently listened to my concerns and tried his best to explain my options and comfort me. I made a follow-up appointment and scheduled my revision surgery within a month of our initial meeting. I had my surgery on 16 Feb 2022 and days later my results are stunning and getting better everyday. I think my scars will be nearly invisible in another year and my size damn near perfect. I asked for a c/d cup size and I think he nailed it. Still healing and will be swollen for a while but I'm very confident in Dr. Maiorino's skill. They are so cute! Updated on 25 Feb 2022: Healing has been an absolute breeze this time. I can't even believe it. I'm 9 days post op and I'm feeling like I'm 3-4 weeks post op in comparison to my first surgery. My breasts look incredible and I am so thankful for Dr Maiorino's skill. I wish the surgical tape would fall off already so I can get a good look at my incisions but damn, their shape is so pretty. I'm down a full 2 inches in my bust line and I am beyond thankful. Very little pain outside of some aching/swollen feeling after I do some walking (on the treadmill for 30 minutes so I imagine it's because I'm pushing myself). Beyond that I'm getting the usual nerve pains through my nipples as everything makes connections. Totally expected and manageable. Updated on 24 May 2022: Things are going quite well. I am going to have my cleavage smoothed out in July sometime. I've also got dogs ears in my under arms that aren't noticeable unless I'm naked with my arms up which is... Damn near never lol. My breasts look awesome. I'm loving every second of my smaller size. Around a medium in 90% of bralettes. Some swelling around my cycle time but most of the time my breasts are super cute and small. My surgeon has been absolutely incredible. So supportive and open to conversation about his technique and different things I'm noticing. He's so empathetic and responsive it has made me so comfortable and happy with my results. Need to be better about scar care but it's a little annoying and I'm kind of lazy. I've been out twice without a bra and I could cry with the freedom and how much I didn't even think about my breasts. Best feeling ever.
You should be able to wear a retainer without issue after a lip lift. You may have some swelling in the upper lip region but this will not effect your retainer use or your end results.
The short answer to your question is yes, a face lift will tighten that area and improve the very mild ptosis or sagging you have. However, given your young age and lack of skin excess, you might want to consider other, less invasive options first such as CO2 laser, microneedling with radiofrequency, etc to help tighten the skin a bit more prior to jumping to a surgical treatment.
While a small to moderate degree of skin laxity can be corrected the various less invasive and non-invasive techniques, I think a lower face and neck lift would likely be able to give you a contoured and tightened neck and improved jaw line. I'd seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to further discuss your options.
All implants form some degree of capsule around it. I think what he was referring to was the fact that your capsules aren't thickened so we is unable to feel them (which is normal). There are many patients who undergo implant removal without the need for capsule removal and heal just fine without any issues. Hope this helps!
I can understand your frustration and hopefully this will help better explain the surgeon's thinking. When doing a mastopexy or breast lift, the breast tissue needs to be cut and rearranged into a more tightly packaged and lifted position on the chest wall. Because of the rearrangement of the breast tissue, the blood supply to certain parts of the breast and skin are changed and need time to enlarge and increase. By waiting on fat transfer for the second stage it should allow for better overall take/incorporation of the transferred fat. Also, many patients can be happy with their new size/shape after a lift is performed, saving them from a secondary procedure. Not every surgeon does it this way but there are many who do. Hope this helps.
