Dr. Vial is a plastic surgeon in Bend who avoids premature assessments — instead, he patiently discusses your unique concerns and expectations to craft an individualized treatment plan that adheres to your specific ideals of beauty.
I am officially 3 months post-op for a breast augmentation and could not be happier! After watching countless hours of YouTube vlogs of other women's experiences, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted from a surgeon. During the consultation, it was immediately clear that Dr. Vial not only had the most natural results, but more importantly is using the latest technology and techniques. The entire team is wonderful too, offering support and always available to answer questions at a moment's notice. Needless to say, I highly recommend! In case it is helpful, I started with 32A (110lbs, 5’6”) and am now 32C (295cc, smooth, round, mod+ profile, Mentor MemoryGel Xtra).
I was treated by Dr. Vial and Dr. Walling at Bend Breast Care and I honestly cannot speak highly enough about them. Facing a double mastectomy is overwhelming but both doctors were in consistent communication with me every step of the way. I was 40yo at diagnosis, with two young daughters and running a business in Bend, OR. I spoke with doctors all over the country and the results of Walling and Vial were hands down the best. My double mastectomy plan for early stage breast cancer included: 1) nipple delay, 2) nipple and skin sparring double mastectomy with expanders placed and 3) exchange to 340cc mentor boost implants. There were definitely times along the way where I was really concerned about the final outcome. I put my trust in Dr. Vial and his team and I honestly can’t even believe how incredible the result is. I would highly recommend Dr. Walling and Dr. Vial for anyone facing breast reconstruction. I don’t know how they do it, but the results speak for themselves.
Words cannot adequately describe how thankful I am to Dr Vial for his expertise. He made me look almost 30 yr younger with a facelift, neck lift, and fat grafting. He is meticulous and a total perfectionist. His excellent surgical skill resulted in an outcome that has given me more confidence and made me look as young as I feel inside. He and his staff are superb. I feel blessed to have met Dr Vial, as he has changed my life. I would give him 10 stars if possible.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Vial and his team for any of your plastic surgery needs. He was my doctor for double mastectomy and breast reconstruction as well as fat grafting. His meticulous attention to detail and patience with answering any and all questions eased my mind every step of the way. His staff is friendly and caring and I am so glad I chose him as my doctor.
Dr. Vial is such an incredible surgeon! My experience with him for two separate operations exceeded my expectations! He is skilled, professional and has an eye for detail with the patience to ensure your results are exactly what you hoped for. He is honest and has integrity. Highly recommend.
I had a breast surgery with Dr. Vial and had a very good experience. I am a physician and he was recommended by my colleagues (which is a good sign!). He is a detail oriented, highly skilled surgeon and he is supported by an excellent staff. I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend Dr. Vial and his team.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Vial and his team. From the very first meeting to the final appointment a full year later, I always felt like my concerns were taken seriously. I have the BRCA1 gene and decided to have a prophylactic double mastectomy with reconstruction and fat grafting. Dr. Vial did an incredible job of assuaging my fears before, during and after surgery. Not to mention the results are incredible. Because we did fat grafting, he was able to take the fat from my hips and move it to the top part of my breasts to make them look more natural. But because he’s a thoughtful and careful surgeon, he also gave my hips and butt a nice shape in the process. I know several other people who have had this surgery done elsewhere, and none of their surgeons gave a thought to the area the fat was removed from. I say this just to point out how detail oriented Dr. Vial is. His whole team is wonderful. Anna always made me feel so seen and cared for, and everyone in the office is warm and kind. I have recommended his office to several people and will continue to do so! I’m so grateful to have had Dr. Vial and his team help me through this difficult year.
After meeting with 3 other surgeons, I met Dr. Vial! I knew he was the surgeon for me. He was very open and transparent about ALL the possible options (and costs) for my wrinkly, weather-worn face. Dr. Vial and his staff were incredibly knowledgeable, caring and available from my first visit to the last. Dr Vial was meticulous and I am thrilled with the results! From me, it’s just one BIG, Overarching Thank You to Dr. Vial and his staff!!!
I went from a 36K to a 36D. 5lbs was removed!!! From initial consultation to my 8 week post op graduation, Dr. Vial and staff were simply the best. The surgery itself performed by Vial was an absolute work of magic. His presence was calming and friendly. The surgery was extensive — a lot had to be done. I was under for nearly 7 hours. Given the extent of the surgery, there could have been several complications but I had zero. And I could not be happier with my results!!! Thank you Dr. Vial!
Dr. Vial goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional outcome! I’m beyond grateful for what he has done for my body and my self esteem! I had my breast implants removed, periareolar/IMF mastopexy, and fat transfer to breast. My results are 100% better than when I had my implants!
This should not be a problem if it really is just a small drop. You want to make sure that there is not a cancer issue, which is unlikely. To make sure, I would have you get an ultrasound and a mammogram. If the flow was more than a drop you may consider getting a prolactin level. If this was elevated then a trip to the endocrinologist and a head MRI may be needed to rule out a rare prolactinoma. Otherwise, I would advise limiting nipple stimulation to reduce flow.
This is a great question that many patients struggle with. Making a decision to do a lift is a difficult one as you are accepting more scars. The answer depends on many variables. Based on your photos, you could avoid a lift with larger implants. With smaller implants a periareolar mastopexy would be a good option.
A small percentage of patients will lose nipple sensation with breast augmentation. If it has been a year since augmentation, you will likely not regain sensation. Removing the implant will not make the sensation come back.
You do appear to have a mild case of tuberous breasts. I would recommend a periareolar mastopexy, dropping the breast fold, scoring the breast tissue, and placing an implant.
Your scars look like hypertrophic scars. Difficult to tell with the photos. Keloids are tumors and are often confused with hypertrophic scars. Treatments for hypertrophic scars include Aldera, steroids, and low dose radiation. My choice is Aldera. I perform a test spot on an area out of view. There can be many complication with all of these options and you should make a plan with your plastic surgeon.
