From the nurses and receptionists to Dr. Dreckmann and the doctors, everyone makes it clear that patient safety and the patient experience are their top concerns. It's a vulnerable experience, and the relaxing, supportive vibe in their office makes a huge difference.
I was so nervous going into my procedure but it went perfectly. Everyone from Flavia at the front desk to Dr. Dreckmann herself was friendly, accommodating, and made me feel safe and heard. Dr. Dreckmann was honest and helpful with all of my questions and covered everything thoroughly. And a special thank you to Andrea who was more than kind and went above and beyond to take care of me. After the procedure Andrea continued to check in and give advice and make sure I was feeling well throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Dreckmann for your next procedure!
Dr. Dreckmann was extremely professional, empathetic, and direct in her treatment. I usually get quite nervous in medical spaces, but I had a wonderful experience. The entire team made me feel very welcomed and relaxed throughout the entire process, from the consultation to the post-op follow-ups. I would highly recommend them.
From my very first encounter with the team at Valespring I knew this was the right clinic for me. It was easy to book a consultation using the online portal, the receptionist is lovely and so pleasant to interact with. Nurse Andreea is one of the most compassionate, attentive and vibrant souls you could ever have the pleasure of being around. She is supportive, informed, knowledgeable and handles your case with care and compassion. Dr. Dreckman is an incredible and highly skilled surgeon. She is direct, knowledgeable and experienced and provided me with all the information I needed regarding my surgery. Her skill and ability is unmatched. Dr. Dreckman was attentive and available to answer any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire process. Every member of the team takes their time and listens to your concerns, answers your questions and prepares you for your surgery. The post op experience is equally as attentive and you really feel the support of the staff. They are there for you from booking to surgery day to post op. I would highly recommend this clinic and am thrilled with my entire experience. Thank you to the team at Valespring for everything
I just want to say, I am very disappointed with the outcome of the supposed 360 liposuction and bbl procedure with Dr. Stephanie Dreckmann. Firstly, my liposuction was not properly done and she pretty much did not do any of my upper back areas. I knew there was something shady when she asked me to sign a separate form on the day of my surgery stating that she will not be doing my upper back. When I asked her why I needed to sign this, she told me that she would be covering the area in the ‘360’ liposuction procedure already and hence do not need to state is separately. Thinking about it now, it does not make sense, I was basically tricked into signing this on the day of my surgery when I was in no mental state to understand what the last minute change was. Only to come out of surgery and notice that my upper back was not done, and overall the 360 liposuction was done poorly. It’s so poorly done that my post surgery massage therapist had to comment on it. Then to the fat transfer to the hips. I have hip dips that I wanted gone. I was already a curvy girl and really, she had one job, fill out the hip dips. I still have hip dips! Usually fat transfers are filled to over capacity knowing that there is possibility of 30% or more fat loss. As soon as I got off the operating table and took off some of the bandages the next day, I already could see that she did not take her time to fill in the hip dips properly. I told her this during my 2 weeks post op consultation. I am writing this after my 2nd post op consultation, in which I asked her if I could get more fat transferred to correct the obvious issue, and she basically told me she does not feel she can help me realize the result I want. You could have told me this before I paid you 18k and literally put my life in your hands, that you are not equipped to deliver the results. Not take my money, and refuse to do a redo. I will not advise anyone who is looking to do lipo and bbl to go with Dr. Stephanie Dreckmann. That is obviously not her strength. And it’s not just me, if you ever see any of her bbl after pictures, you would see what I am saying. I partly blame myself, because I did see her other bbl work and I was not impressed, I am not sure why I expected different. I guess because I felt I was already curvy and it can’t be that had to fill up a hip dip to compliment the curvy shape I already had. I am so disappointed and also felt unsupported. Like she would not even offer a corrective procedure or a redo. Which I am pretty sure i am entitled to. I guess it’s okay just taking peoples money and not make an effort to deliver on results. I will say this again, if you are looking to get lipo and bbl done. This is not the doctor for you.
Sometimes a repeat lift can be helpful if you've noticed some changes to your breasts after having a baby. I would suggest consulting with the original surgeon as a starting point. Breast measurements and more details about the type of breast lift performed and the type/size/location of the implants are often helpful when making treatment recommendations.
It's hard to appreciate fully from the photo, but I think you would likely not have enough donor fat for a BBL procedure. I would recommend discussing this with the surgeon who placed the implants as they may have additional suggestions beyond filler/fat transfer/implant removal.
I think you can do fat transfer to the breasts but it will be at best a subtle improvement and will likely not fill in the dips you've highlighted long-term. You also have minimal fat for harvest which will also influence results. I think implants would provide a much more reliable result in this situation given your aesthetic goals.
Fillers would likely be what I recommend to try first. Fat grafting is also an option here but I'm a fan of starting off with nonsurgical interventions whenever possible. You can also consider combination treatments such as fillers + radiofrequency skin tightening, for example.
I wouldn't typically recommend a surgical lip lift based on your photo. I typically recommend it for patients who have a long distance between the nose and upper lip, which is not present here. In my opinion, filler or fat transfer would be better options here.
