Dr. Daluvoy was recommended to me by a friend who had also had breast reduction surgery. I had an incredible experience with him through my breast reduction surgery process. He was extremely professional and compassionate, and receptive to my concerns and past history of dealing with a lot of pain. Dr. Daluvoy made me feel comfortable throughout my experience and I am very pleased with my breast reduction outcome. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
My breast reduction was on February 23, 2024. I am so happy with the results of my breast reduction! Dr Daluvoy and his team were wonderful. He was very caring and made sure all my questions were answered. He is truly a gifted surgeon. I told him since having this surgery my confidence is great, and I feel beautiful. I don't know why I waited so long with the pain I was experiencing. I highly recommend Dr Daluvoy. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Dr Daluvoy and the team. You all are the best! I just had my nine-month post op appointment with Dr Daluvoy and everything was great. My breast reduction was everything I expected it to be and he is such an amazing surgeon. My breast size is perfect, and I had a free nipple graft, that looks perfect. My pigmentation hasn't fully come back but I have an option of tattooing. Dr Daluvoy is very caring and has compassion for his patients. If you're considering breast reduction, he is the perfect choice!
I had both a breast reduction and, five years later, an adominoplasty. Dr. Daluvoy was a wonderful provider. He patiently and thoroughly explained the procedures and what to expect. He was respectful, thoughtful, and patiently answered my questions. I'm so happy with the results and grateful for his expertise. The staff including Hannah were also very patient and kind. It was a reassuring process and I'm so grateful I did the surgery at their practice!
From my first visit, all the way through recovery and post-op visits, Dr. Daluvoy and his staff were excellent. I told him what I was hoping to achieve. They took there time, listened and made helpful suggestions all along the way. Never would I have imagined that I would be so pleased with my mommy makeover. The results exceeded my expectations in every way. I would recommend him to anyone considering a mommy makeover. You won't regret it.
This was my second procedure with Dr. Daluvoy and he was amazing once again! I clearly communicated what I hoped my outcome might be and he delivered beautiful results. His bedside manner is fantastic and his surgical team is the best of the best.
Dr. Daluvoy is very genuine & class A+ professional. He knew what implants worked best for my body & listened to my concerns when I was in recovery. He cares for his patients & I highly recommend him!
Dr. Daluvoy at Specialists in Plastic Surgery is AWESOME! From my very first consultation, I knew Dr. Daluvoy was the surgeon for my procedure. He took the time to answer all of my questions and offered to meet with me as many times as necessary to make me comfortable with my decision. Dr. Daluvoy and his entire staff were great every step of the way! My procedure was completed without any complications and in just a few short weeks I was back to my normal lifestyle. Thank you again to Dr. Sanjay Daluvoy, you have helped me get my confidence back!
The staff at the office are so nice and helpful and Dr. Daluvoy was wonderful! Everyone was professional and made me feel very comfortable. I feel fully informed about my options, the process and the procedure. I would highly recommend them and look forward to having my surgery in a few months!
After much consideration and research, I decided to take the plunge and get a mommy makeover consisting of both a breast reduction/lift and tummy tuck. I am a 41 year old mother of two that delivered both babies via C-Section and since the birth of my children I had been having migraines because of my increased breast size. After trying physical therapy to no avail, I came to the realization that if I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life dealing with this, a breast reduction was going to be the best option. But then came another reality: I had excess skin in my midsection from have two pregnancies only 13 months apart. I was afraid that if I had a reduction it would emphasis my midsection and I would look ‘pregnant’ for the rest of my life. Therefore, I decided to have a tummy tuck as well. I knew that meant two major surgeries in one day and a considerable increase in recovery time but I also knew that it was the only real path to my overall goal with which I would be happy. Seven months later, my only regret is that I did not have the procedure years earlier. My body feels like my pre-baby body now, just better. Most importantly, my headaches are a thing of the past. Yes, the recovery can be challenging at times, but nothing that is truly insurmountable. Though the recovery process I had the opportunity to relearn my body and it’s limits and adapted my physical routine as I grew stronger again. All of this wonderful change couldn’t have been made possible without Dr. Daluvoy and his staff. From my first consultation, he thoroughly addressed all of my questions and concerns. I never felt as if he was talking about ‘a’ mommy makeover he was focused on ‘my’ mommy makeover and what made it unique to me. He gave me a very detailed explanation of the process and gave me a realistic description of what I couldn’t achieve and what I couldn’t. I felt like he was interviewing me as well to find out if I was the kind of candidate whose life he could really improve which I truly appreciated. I didn’t want a doctor who was just a ‘yes man’. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful care I received and would recommend him to anyone else!
Thigh Lift and Flanks Also Revision on Thigh Lift and flanks I am unhappy with the results of my Thigh Lift and Flanks! Dr. Daluvoy was very nice and explained things thoroughly but the results I got were not what I pictured nor what they should be for all the money that I paid. I hate my thighs even more now and my flanks are so-so. The work wasn't done right the 1st time to which I had to get a revision done on both the thighs and planks. I assumed and talked with him on the day of surgery what we had discussed during the consultation on what he was going to fix all the problems from the 1st thigh lift surgery. Well that didn't happen to which only one of the problems was sort of corrected and I'm still left with the other problems to deal with. The revision on my flanks are ok but still have that fatty bulge that we had discussed as well from the 1st procedure. I was hoping to have better results on everything to which I was going to go back to get a breast lift done but I will be seeking other doctors for this. Why would I want to fork out more money with displeasing results in the first place? I will never go back to this office again for anything! Also for all the money that I had paid they wanted to charge me for an additional garment to which I think it should be free. I called to express my concerns and pretty much was told that I was asking for things that he could not provide for me and that I was asking for a miracle. What would he do if his loved one recd the same results?! My Husband told me that was money down the drain and a very unhappy customer!
Liposuction of flanks is commonly combined with Mommy Makeover. It can really provide a nice contour to flanks and accentuate your results in a safe and efficient manner. The key question is how much time this will add to your procedure. Flipping during surgery can be done but adds time and delicate airway management. You really need to discuss with your surgeon the added risk and time.
The key is that your breasts have settled and stabilized before having another surgery. Specifically, your skin should be soft, the swelling resolved and size and shape settled. Usually, 6 months a good time point for these things, but with fat grafting it can make things a little more dynamic. If you feel like they are still changing then I would recommend you wait until they are stable for 2-3 months. A discussion and evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon is important to determine goals, establish realistic expectations and develop a solid operative plan.
Thanks for your question. In general, I tell my patients to walk in hunched over position for 10-14days. This helps take pressure off the abdominal area and incision. Good luck!
In general, your age is not a contraindication for surgery. You should set up a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to be evaluated for mommy makeover to understand your needs and goals. During my consultations, I review my patient's active medical issues, medications, allergies and overall medical/health condition. I have my patients undergo a pre-op visit for patient education and depending on the type surgery, age of patient, and co-morbidities obtain labs and ekg. All of this is done to ensure the medical safety of my patients.
Based on your pictures, it looks like you would need an Abdominoplasty. Liposuction addresses removal of fat and wouldn't address the excess skin that you have particularly at lower part of the abdomen.
