I had a abdominoplasty after loosing over 100 lbs, and it was a great experience with Dr. Raneri. My belly has never looked this good!!!!! I had the surgery almost 2 years ago! I get told all the time you definitely don’t look your age, let alone a mom!
Dr Ranieri performed a breast reduction/lift for me in July and a panniculectomy/abdominoplasty in November. Both experiences went well beyond my expectations. I cannot thank her enough. I had gastric sleeve in 2015 and lost over 100 lbs.
Dr. Raineri is always extremely kind, gentle, and willing to answer all my questions. Her office is run very efficiently, and I have never had to wait an excessive amount of time to see her. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Ranieri to my friends and family!
I had put me off for years, seems it was always something coming up when I would decide to have surgery. In March I broke my shoulder. And it would not heal due to my breast being so heavy. And being a 36 triple f. At 5 foot 4. Was so hard on my neck . my back constantly hurt. I stayed miserable as it affected my fibro as well. I lost my son in Dec of 2015. And I seem to go down hill. I was tired of crying everyday ,being in pain,and one day I decided ....done. I'm going to have my surgery and make changes in my life for me. Get busy living again ..as that is what my son would want me to do. First step was finding a doctor I felt I could trust in. And I found a fabulous one. She did a wonderful job ,and she made me feel I wasn't just another dollar in her pocket. I wasn't nervous or scared as I walked in that morning alone to face surgery. I had a locket with my sons Pic in it. And I felt I would be OK in whatever? I have Faith in god , I was in his hands.. And if I died ,or lived, it didn't matter, I would be OK. I had no fear... I feel great!!! I'm so happy with the results.. I've had little pain. I have a long road ahead to journey to a new life , to have joy and goodness ,peace. Goals, I want for me ! To learn to drive ,go back to school , to work again.. To be me again!! Only a better version .. Just not to survive ...but to enjoy the gift of living again.. Excited about what the future can be for me.. Only problem I have is not having any clothes ..lol. What I did have ..no longer fits.. And I can barely afford to eat ,let alone get any clothes. Lol... But I'm so grateful and thankful... I'm still here to start a new life at some point.. I am not lucky....I am blessed! You wonderful ladies inspired me so much with your courage and strength. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. God bless you all. Updated on 14 Dec 2018: Im happy with my smaller breast. I healed with no issues, other than itching as i healed. My breast still looks pretty and perty. My life situation hasnt improved, aa i had setbacks, not due to my breast surgery. Health issues. I may not have any new bras, or clothes since my reduction. But i am grateful im not in pain anymore. My neck and shoulders dont hurt anymore. I feel good bout who i am even before surgery. I just dont tire out so easy now. But just in case...Anyone decides to donate bras or clothes, please keep me in mind. I can pay for items to be shipped to me. I now wear 36 c. Med tops. God bless...
Dr. Ranieri was very professional and great bedside manner. I love the end results and it was very worth it. I have minimal scarring and thankfully all of my back and neck pain has subsided. I went in very uncertain but she clearly explained everything to myself and my husband. She was very patient and can't forget to mention her staff who were pleasant and professional as well.
This doctor performed a breast reduction on me 7 years ago in Florida, it was my 2nd after having open heart surgery. I had 3 opinions prior to reduction bcuz whenever I took my bra off my center chest bone would hurt. The 1st 2 surgeons recommended a breast lift with implant because it only hurt once breasts would fall but this surgeon stated reduction would be best. And her being a woman i thought she was genuinely concerned for me. But while under anesthesia she stated she did what's called a "free nipple graft". Not being a Dr I assumed she gave me something for me but no it means she freely manipulated my nipples and Areola, which was not discussed prior to anesthesia. Long story short, I now have permanent scarring under arms and breasts and I will never feel my husband's touch again. Her continuous excuse was that i signed for it, once again "free nipple graft" was not discussed and after anesthesia she admitted it was her first time doing it. Well you shouldn't have made me your guinea pig without discussing it and if it was your 1st nipple graft then you should have asked for help. 2 years after she only had tattoos placed on me in which they couldn't even properly do that either and my fake aureola sits 4 inches higher than normal and placed way above boob and are placed closer to my armpit.Shortly after tattoos I called to talk to her about my grief and she had moved out of state and I wasn't notified. And yes I feel race played a major role in the situation because she played me like a fiddle until the 24 month time span and in order to reconstruct them I have to save 10k. Had i been a rich and non African American things may have been different but i am unfortunately not rich and was incapable of paying out of pocket for implants. She could have just done the right thing and did a revision but instead left me with Dr Mobley who had no idea of what happened even though she said she told him the backstory. She claimed she had told him but not true. My flat fake nipples and aureolas sit 4 inches above the natural placement, long and flat. Her staff would use God as a weapon whenever i complained they easily blamed God. The saddest part of it is that she was a kind person until the end and changed because i was depressed about a botched job but I know I should forgive in order to receive my blessings but can't forget because I have to see it everytime I shower. But I will pray for her continuous success because I believe God is in control, not me. Hypocrite not Hippocratic.
