I just want to say that Dr. Vemula and his entire staff is awesome! He’s very attentive, and took the time to listen to all my concerns very carefully. I never felt rushed at any time during the consultation. I have never received such a personal and professional attention to detail at a doctor’s office before. The whole ambiance and atmosphere of his office is great. You feel like you are at a place where celebrities go to rejuvenate. I went to Dr. V for non surgical facial treatments. I received Kybella and filler to the lips. I was initially nervous but I felt at such an ease once the actual injection began. He has a great injection technique. I have been getting compliments left and right ever since, everything looks natural. I highly recommend and urge you to consult with Dr. Vemula if you are considering any cosmetic procedure, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait until my next treatment!
He does amazing work! I’ve never been happier! Definitely will go to him again and the atmosphere here is also very comforting! Everyone was so friendly. Highly recommendable! I’ll be referring him to everyone!
Thank you very much for your question. Swelling right after your procedure is normal and can take months to subside. You will notice that each week it gets better. The best thing you can do is to follow your surgeon’s post operative instructions. Best wishes!
thank you very much for your question. This is a very common question that patients have. This is a very person decision and before making your decision it is important for you to know exactly what is involved. If you wait until you are done having children, you may end up waiting several years depending on how many children you decide to have. If you get implants first, please understand that there is a good chance that you will need to have a revision once you are done with childbearing. This is especially true for women who breast feed. In addition, it is possible that if your surgeon uses a periareolar incision that you may have reduced milk production or may not be able to lactate at all. Whatever you decide make sure that you are aware of all of the risks and benefits. Please consult with a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to learn about all of your options for cosmetic breast surgery. Best wishes!

thank you for your question. 700 cc implants are very large implants. Having them over the muscle will most likely lead to a high risk of visibility of the implant as well as rippling is the skin. In addition regardless of the pocket please understand that you will most likely need a revision surgery within the next 10 years. Best wishes!
Hello. Thank you very much for your question. YES! Tummy tissue can be used for breast reconstruction after liposuction. In my patients that have had liposuction, I ALWAYS get imaging such as a CT Angiogram of the abdomen to look at the vessels to see if they are in tact to perform a DIEP Flap. In the worst case scenario, if the perforating vessels have been damaged, one can still get a procedure known as a TRAM Flap. Or tissue can be taken from the thighs to perform a breast reconstruction using a TUG flap or PAP flap. Please consult with a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is experienced in microsurgical breast reconstruction to learn about all of your options.

Thank you very much for your question. Without getting proper imaging, it is hard to determine if you do have a rupture in your implants. The first step is to get radiographic imaging in order to determine if there is a rupture of the implant. Plastic surgeons can order these tests, but so can your gynecologist, primary care physician or breast surgeon. I would see if you can get into see one of these other doctors in order to get everything started.
