When I decided it was time to finally "do this" and see about getting a breast augmentation, I started doing my research and did it ever pay off. Dr. Maningas and all of his staff are amazing people, they treat you like family and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Dr. Maningas definitely takes pride in his work and it shows.
Excellent care from consult through recovery! Dr. Maningas and his staff are all wonderful. They take the time to answer any questions and make sure you are happy with your results!! I would highly recommend them to anyone considering any cosmetic procedure. Updated on 27 Sep 2019: The actual surgery was not bad at all. I have what I consider to be a high pain tolerance, but it was not any worse than having a csection. I was able to be upright on the day after. I took my meds as prescribed, drank plenty of fluids and other than being swollen I felt good. I made myself get up and move regularly. I went back to work after 2 and a half weeks and did fine. I work 8 to 5. I would be more swollen by the end of the day so I would try to put my feet up and relax. I wore my compression garment faithfully. Only took of to shower and put back on. I did this for 6 weeks. I was ready to see it go. I did have to purchase a smaller one as the swelling went down. I would recommend doing this to anyone considering it. The hardest part is the swelling that fluctuates for months. I am just now at 6 months out and love my results. I am told it can take up to 1 year for final results. Can't wait to see how much more my body transforms. I do yoga 3 times a week and walking. Updated on 27 Sep 2019: Had trouble uploading pictures so here are a few more. I am absolutely loving my new body!! It continues to improve. There are some days I still get puffy but is gone by morning. I just try to drink more water and practice my yoga!! I would recommend Dr. M and his staff to anyone. He really is a miracle worker.
I wouldn't go any where else. Dr. Maningas takes the time to tell you everything you need to know and answer every question you have and show you what to expect in the end. He and his staff are very nice and easy to talk to. I was happy with the care after surgery too.
Amazing! His skill, staff, facility are the best!! I would reccomend Dr. Maningas to anyone looking to have a cosmetic procedure done. My results are amazing and so much better than I could have dreamed!
I'm so thankful I found Dr. Maningas to perform my surgery. I went to a few doctors in my local area, but decided that Dr. Maningas and the staff would do the best job. The surgery process went smoothly from start to finish. Dr. Maningas spent plenty of time with me on my initial consultation, to really understand what my questions, concerns and wishes were. The surgery experience went very well, and recovery, just as planned. From the fantastic results, it really ended up being the best result for what I was looking for. The staff was very helpful, caring and friendly throughout the whole process. I can't tell you enough how great the entire experience had been for me, and of course I owe it to Dr. Maningas and staff. Thank you!
I’m a 34 year old mother of two. I’ve always been petite (breast included 32B.) After having children and becoming a fitness junkie, they become even smaller. So, I decided it was time to make the move. I began research in March, consults in April, and surgery in May. Dr. Maningas and staff have been totally AWESOME!! Updated on 11 May 2018: First time of sizing I chose 350cc, but sized a second time and was torn between 400 and 450; 450 seemed too big for my frame, so I went with 415. Updated on 11 May 2018: Immediately after surgery I was tired, but felt great (thanks to meds!) That evening wasn’t too bad, which I I found out was due to a local anesthetic being placed it the pockets. Overnight was okay. My husband set n alarm for every two hours to walk and alternate Valium and Norco. Updated on 11 May 2018: Went for my check up. Surgeon and nurse said they look amazing! Doc said days two and three will be the hardest for me since I’m “so tiny, and have a very narrow rib cage.” He was not wrong, as today has been HELL for pain!! I’ve faithfully taken meds every two hours, iced, walked, moved as much as possible, but PAIN! My husband helped me shower, which made me feel much better! Also having the horrific strap off for a moment received a lot of pain and pressure! Looking forward to tomorrow’s shower!! ???? Updated on 11 May 2018: Updated on 12 May 2018: Friday (day 2) I pretty much slept all day and night. Saturday I also slept a lot, but did manage to go to the store, sit on the deck, and shower all by myself! Took some pics. I don’t see much difference, other than EXTREME belly bloat!! Updated on 13 May 2018: Starting to feel better today. I’ve taken one dose of muscle relaxer, no narcotic pain med, two doses of regular Tylenol. I went to several stores, and visited my mom. I’m still very tired, but think I am definitely on the mend! Updated on 15 May 2018: Feeling pretty good today. Worked a full day, cooked, cleaned, went for a walk. Have pretty good range of motion with my arms now. Still really bloated belly though ???? Hopefully a couple more days and I’ll feel like comparing pre-augmentation garments. ???????? Updated on 17 May 2018: Steri-strips removed, stitches removed, starting breast massage, bandeau only at night (thank you Jesus!!) Doc says everything looks good! Oh, and no more surgical bra.....just a regular zip up sports bra ???? Incisions look really good, I think they will heal well. Love Dr. M!! See him again in 5 weeks. Updated on 20 May 2018: Did a light lower body workout today, and tried on some pre-procedure suits and few new ones.
I always have an amazing experience every visit! Top to bottom, from the minute I walk in to the moment I walk out the customer service is outstanding! Dr. Maningas is not only talented, He and his staff are kind, considerate, professional and knowledgeable!They offer so many treatment/payment options that help me set realistic goals to look and feel my best! I wouldn't go anywhere else between the way I am treated and the endless services they provide.. and you shouldn't either!
My results and experience couldn't have been better!! I had other consultations and chose not to go through with the mommy makeover. I ended up making an appointment with Dr. Maningas and I'm so thankful that I did!! On my initial visit he spent so much time with me to find out what I wanted. He took numerous measurements and explained everything and answered all my questions. I never had any reservations about having the surgery with him and everything went great! My results are better than I could have ever imagined! My stomach wasn't this flat before kids!! His staff is amazing and I feel like they are all my friends. I'm so thankful that I found Dr. Maningas- he's changed my life!
I am so glad that I went to Dr. Maningas for my breast augmentation and tummy tuck! Dr. Maningas has a wonderful facility and staff that are always so kind and helpful. I was worried going in for my consultation but Dr. Maningas was very professional and explained in full detail how everything was going to go. The day of the surgery my nurses were amazing and took wonderful care of me. I am 3 weeks out now and I am feeling good, I am very pleased with my surgery so far and I am excited to see the final results once all my swelling goes down. I would recommend Dr. Maningas to anyone that I know in need of a plastics procedure.
I am so happy that I chose Maningas Cosmetic Surgery for my breast augmentation! Dr. Maningas and his staff are absolutely amazing! I was so nervous going into my consultation but Dr. Maningas made me feel so comfortable and answered all of my questions with ease. I never felt rushed at any of my appointments and my results are phenomenal!! From pre-op to post op, I received the best all around care that anyone could ask for and I would highly recommend them to everyone!
Yes, both of these can be performed at the same time if desired. However, I would make sure you understand the implications of each procedure. The lip implant will obviously add fullness and volume to the body of the lips. The lip lift with decrease the distance from your lips to your nose and roll the lip out - a byproduct is creating more dental show. Make sure to go over each procedure with your surgeon and look at plenty of before and after pics. Good luck!
I personally use Surgisil's lip implants and think they are a fantastic options for patients desiring a permanent solution for fuller lips. It does not provide the surgeon the same degree of artistry as injecting with fillers however is a very nice options for generally fuller lips that last as long as you want them to last. Good luck!
Seromas after facelift are a rare occurrence but can happen. If they occur they typically need drained and may require serial draining over the course of days to weeks. They should not inhibit your final result if managed appropriately.
An adequate female brow should rest approximately 1.0cm above the orbital rim with an arch at its maximal peak at a line drawn straight up from the outside of the colored part of your eye (lateral limbus). Based on your pictures your brow position appears adequate. However, if you desire a very elevated brow this is something to discuss with your surgeons who are evaluating you in person. The blepharoplasty will help to open your eyes up giving you a more attractive upper lid fold in either situation (brow or no brow). Good luck!
Based on all of the anatomical landmarks we look at for adequate chin projection you look just fine. Don't be too critical as you have a beautiful result.
