Nicholas Galardi, MD

I had consultations with several plastic surgeons in the area, but never felt confident when I’d leave their facility. That all changed when I met Dr. Galardi and his staff. I’m in early recovery of my tummy tuck, but I’m amazed every time I look in the mirror. He brought back the confident spark in me that I didn’t think would ever return and for that I will be forever grateful!

I had the most amazing experience at GBR, from first consult to discharge I was take care of with the upmost compassion and respect. When I had questions regarding aftercare, the team was quick to provide me answers with no wait time. I am now 6 months post op with no complications - I am in LOVE!! Thank you to the entire team for such a positive experience.

I had the best experience with this practice. From the staff, nurses and doctors it was a seamless experience! I had a lipo 360 bbl with Dr Galardi! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with! My confidence is through the roof! You will NOT regret coming to this practices to gain all the confidence you deserve! I can't say how much they changed my life for the best! I am so grateful!! They were so fantastic in answering any questions during the healing process as well! It's not just surgery and out the door. They take care to make sure any questions are answered and you are completely comfortable! Galardi-Bowen plastic surgery is the best!!

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo to the abdomen & flanks, breast reduction/lift and submental (chin) lipo. I absolutely love my results! It was worth every penny. I love that I was able to have my procedure close to home instead of going to Miami. The first 5 days post op were the worst as far as pain. I had 2 drains and I was able to stand straight up at around 16 days post op. Ladies, if you’re on the fence, do it! You won’t regret it.

I’ve added a before photo. Descriptions included with pictures. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction of the abdomen and flanks, breast reduction/lift and chin liposuction. I definitely do not have any regrets. My surgeon was great and I would definitely consult with him for any future procedures.

Surgery was on 10/27/21 so I’m 4 months out now. Loving my flat & firm abs! My incisions are barely visible from my tummy tuck with muscle repair. My breast incisions are a little darker but they’re fading with time. All of my scars are flat due to me using silicone scar tape after my drains were removed 10 days post op.

Here are some pics 1.5 years out from MMO surgery. To maintain your results, you’ve got to watch your diet. I’ve been slacking but I’m going to work hard to shed the post surgery weight gain. Overall, I love my results.

Absolutely love Dr. Galardi and this practice. He is a master artist when it comes to bodies. I am just hitting my 6 week mark and could not be happier with the results. I had been previously told by another surgeon that I would have an upside t scar due to not having enough excess skin on my stomach to fully remove my old belly button but Dr. Galardi was able to avoid that outcome and give me just one thin and beautiful low lying scar. I was also told by another doctor I would have a bit of excess aerola left over from my breast lift (slight reduction to make the sizes match) and yet again Dr. Galardi avoided that outcome. Galardi offered me with an auto augmentation breast lift as I did not want to have implants. From what I understand, this technique is where he uses your own breast tissue that could typically be removed during a lift and situates it back into your breast to give you more fullness. I LOVE the results! I finally have small sized aerolas and perky breasts. Went from what I use to call bologna size aerolas to pepperoni sized. Lol With the muscle repair and removal of excess skin on my stomach I feel like my old self prior to kids. There was no amount of working out that would rid me of my extra skin. I had lost all of my baby weight but still didn’t look or feel good. Plus, the Diastasis Recti meant my core ab muscles weren’t as pulled in and strong as it used to be. Dr. Galardi stitched all of that nice and tight and it naturally pulled in my sides to bring back my hour glass shape that I hadn’t really seen in years. I finally have my confidence back, which I know my husband is loving the most. I certainly don’t have a super model body but I feel great! I feel comfortable in my own skin again and there is no way I can thank Dr. Galardi enough. Even gifted this man a huge bottle of tequila as a thank you as I don’t feel like my verbal thanks and payment could ever be enough. Haha

Also, I’m loving my belly button. I have seen many belly buttons online after tummy tucks that I personally don’t like how they look. Dr Galardi made mine a beautiful round innie that honestly looks just like my pre pregnancy belly button.

To say I’m in love and indebted to Dr. Galardi’s skillful hands and artistry would be an understatement. Do yourself a favor and at least have a consult. Personally, I don’t believe he gives himself enough credit on his website or social media. But if you go to meet him in person he will show you more of his work via iPad and you will be wowed by his results, approach, and knowledge.

I have read that it can take up to a year for swelling to really subside and see the final results. If I am this happy 6 weeks out then I’m so hopeful for what I will see come next year. Now I’m just patiently waiting for him to send me my before and afters and during surgery photos because I am strange and can’t wait to see the muscle repair in action and other “gross” details. Lol

I have attached photos that I took at home to show my results. These were before surgery and at the 5 week post op mark. For reference I am 5’2 and weighed 136 on surgery day and am now 126.

I received breast implants and a lift on May 6th. I chose high profile silicone gel based off research and my doctor's recommendation. He also let me hold saline and silicone gel to feel the difference. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Dr. Galardi and his staff. After breast feeding 3 babies, my little Bs turned into little raisins. Lol. I always said when I lay on my back they're pretty, but when I lean over they turn into raisins causing me a lot of sexual anxiety. As I've aged they didnt even look right when laying on my back anymore. I'm creating this review to show my appreciation to Dr. Galardi and to find support when I have little questions. This experience has a lot of firsts involved. I also had an abdominoplasty a few years back with Dr. Galardi and this site was very helpful. It's also the reason I chose him to do my breast implants. I trust him to take care of me which helps put my anxiety at ease. Amazing skill, awesome bedside manner, and really relatable. 10/10

9 days post op. They're still swollen and they still hurt. Tender to the touch. The thing that drives me crazy the most is the feeling that they're moving around. The doctor reassured me that everything is fine but I'm very aware of every little pain/feeling they have. They look amazing though! I can't wait til they settle and fluff. I also can't wait until I can resume normal activity and sleep however I want. Even if I'm allowed to, it hurts too much right now. Sleeping is so uncomfortable right now but it's all worth it!

16 days post op. Got my bandages removed! Everything looked good. I was instructed to start massaging them. Everything looks very full and even. They're still pretty sore, but that's to be expected. It kind of freaks me out when. It feels like they move but I was reassured that that's normal.

Breast Lift with 250cc moderate profile implant

Just had my 2 week follow up with Dr. Galardi and I absolutely love my results!! I couldn’t have asked for better results or an overall experience it was everything I was hoping for. Dr. Galardi and his team were great during all pre & post op appointments. They answered any questions I had and made this a very smooth and comfortable process.

I am 30 years old with no kids. I have wanted bigger breasts since I was younger. I recent lost about 30 lbs and had a slight sag to my breast. After all my research and talking it over with my boyfriend, I decided to go ahead with my breast implants. I went to my first consultation and it wasnt the best experience even though my friend had recommended them to me. So I did a google search and read reviews and found Dr. Galardi. I had an amazing experience with him and his staff. He said that I didnt need a lift right now and that I could do it later when I get I actually needed it. Plus it would be easier with the implants already in and healed. He placed my implants over the muscle but under the fascia. I went with Mentor Xtra implants with 415cc for the left and 465cc for the right to correct asymmetry. I am extremely happy with my overall experience.

I had a mommy makeover with Dr. Gilardi and the results are nothing short of amazing! I have four kids (including a set of identical twin boys who were HUGE!) and my body payed the toll. I had a tummy tuck, major muscle repair, lipo to flanks and abdomen and a breast lift and I am SO SO thrilled with my results. Dr. Galardi is exceptionally skilled at what he does and I’m forever thankful for what he accomplished for me.

I breastfed both of my children until they both turned one. I knew I wanted a breast augmentation due to major deflation it caused me. I was probably a deflated A afterwards but I was a D before kids. Had my surgery July 1 and I can tell they are going to look great after they fully drop. I received 415cc, silicone, Mentor implants placed subfascial.

Figured I’d leave my stats too after a comment was asking.

I’ll post a new picture at my 2 week mark as well.

I’m 5’3” and weigh on average 120.
30yrs old with both kids 4 & under.
I workout 4 times a week and incorporate Pilates.
I hope this helps!
I was debating on 380cc or the next size up which is 415cc. I was told there was not much difference between the two so I went with bigger. I think mine are on the narrower side too due to my frame.

They are getting softer slowly but surely. The gap between my boobs isn’t as big as it was on day 1. Still wearing my recovery bra (34D) and really love the compression it gives. Walkin around the house constantly and honestly can’t wait to go back to work (I love working). I’m so happy I did this surgery for myself, it was the best decision!
I also can’t want to be cleared to workout in the future since I feel like a potato haha.

I def wear my compression bra 24/7 but I wanted to try on one of shirts I bought for my new boobs :) still happy and don’t regret anything besides maybe having boob greed & wanting more but I think this size is great on me.

It’s been some time since surgery and my 6week post op pics I’m about to post isn’t so bad. My left breast has dropped since the picture that I’m posting with this to be about even with my right breast (def was the favored breast when breastfeeding). I’m happy and I hope that whoever is reading this is thinking really hard about getting this surgery, do it if it will make you happier and only you. I waited a good year before committing, I was nervous for surgery but was ready to have a little confidence back. I felt good about my surgeon, although expensive this isn’t something you want to bargain shop with. Good luck to anyone :)

I decided to just go ahead and post them uncensored, and crop each photo for whoever to see them better. I’d do it all over again because anything is better than these before photos. I hated bending over and they magically turned into hotdog boobs lol or never feeling comfortable in a regular bra because I had no volume but I guess that is what happens after producing over 700 gallons of milk for my kids.

I personally love reviews and result pictures. It’ll be a year July 1, 2021 (I’ll try to remember to post around that time for the final time). Still wear my compression bra during my 9 hour work days, I don’t have to but I find it comfortable. I’m a 32DDD/E :)

Still happy with my decision and people have zero idea that I’ve had implants. it’s bizarre that people blatantly ask if they are real. It’s flattering and nice to hear that though, since I spent my money on them I don’t mind. I’ve had no issues at all with them and I’m happy to have my little amount of confidence back. Now I’m trying to figure out what I want done next :)
