Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction Came out Beautifully!

I went to Dr.Schingo for my breast reduction surgery because he was the only surgeon in the area that had done a Plastic Surgery Fellowship (at NYU) and seemed to have the most experience with breast surgeries - specifically reconstructions and reductions which, from what I can tell are more involved than implants. I was impressed with the before and after photos that I saw during my consultation but I have to say my surgery came out better than I could’ve ever hoped for! My breasts are exactly the right size/shape for my frame and ‘perkier’ than they were when I was a teenager! I had little to no pain afterwards, didn’t need to take any pain medication, and was home the same day. I was up and about the day after surgery, and one week out I was back to doing most things normally without having to think about it (showering, cooking, etc). I am three weeks out now and the scarring is already pretty clean and discreet. Although I won’t be cleared to go back to all “normal activity” for another week, I am driving, taking long walks, and otherwise living normally without any pain or discomfort. I am beyond thrilled with my results and cannot wait to go shopping for my new body, workout without discomfort, and do all of the other things that I couldn’t do before my surgery!

Breast Implant Revision

Dr. Shingo is excellent

Dr. Shingo is very meticulous and took a lot of time to explain the procedure to me. The results on my breast revision were amazing, with minimal down time and minimal scarring. I would recommend him for any type of plastic surgery procedure.

Botox

Would Highly Recommend Dr. Fox and Dr. Schingo

I met Dr. Fox and Schingo 17 years ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. They were recommended very highly to me for reconstructive surgery after my mastectomy. I was very nervous but after talking with them, all my fears were put to rest and I knew I was in excellent hands. I am so very happy with the outcome of my surgery. Since then I have been going to their office for Botox and fillers and have had facials periodically for many years. All the nurses and staff are wonderful and make you feel very comfortable and will answer all of your questions.

Mommy Makeover

6 years later at age 50, I still get compliments

Dr Vic Schingo is amazing. At 5'2" after 3 pregnancies I originally wanted tummy tuck only. I ultimately got full mommy makeover with breast augmentati. Dr Schingo could not have been more courteous. From consultation, through surgery and follow up he listened to me but also advised me based on his expertise and showed great attention to detail. I live in NYC now and 6 years later at age 50, I still get annual compliments from my gynecologist and breast radiologist who see it all. I would recommend Dr Schingo to anyone.

Todays the Day!! 47, C-section and Weight Loss Have Left Me with Lots of Loose Saggy Skin. Its Got to Go!!

Ive been thinking about this for a while. After losing nearly 50 poulnds I was left with a stomach that just hung. I run at least 3 times a week, yoga 3 times a week. and mix other fun activities in, but no amount of sit ups or crunches was going to fix this. I met with the surgeon over a month ago, pre-admission testing done, surgery paid for, and am now writhing this from my surgical bed. I couldnt get preop photos to post, so here are a few taken from my bed.. Updated on 1 Dec 2016: saw surgeon today, she took out the pain pump, but my drains are still in as there is alot of drainage. hopefully, on my next appointment. i was able to grab a quick peek. I know everything is normal, and very swollen, but strange to look at my belly and see that it is bigger than ever!! Updated on 2 Dec 2016: day 4 looks like day 3. SWOLLEN. i did manage to take a mini shower. one of the drains was leaking during the night, so i woke up wet - gross. exhausted before i could get conditioner in my hair, so thats going to be a nightmare trying to brush later. but i did it. good enough. ive been taking colace and phillips milk of magnesia since day 2, but nothing. little worried that when i do finally go its going to hurt like hell. i am still taking the pain meds, only one pill every 6 hours (i just take it with my antibiotic). im thinking i can probably just cut that down to one in the morning (thats when it hurts the most) and one before bed (so i can fall asleep). maybe my gut wont be as slow. can not wait for the drains to come out!! then maybe i can pull my pants up! too funny, my kids are laughing at my behind hanging out. Updated on 6 Dec 2016: one drain out yesterday, feels so much better just to get rid of that. hopefully by the end of the week ill lose the other! Updated on 9 Dec 2016: day 10. last drain out today. still a little hunched over but it comes and goes. mostly when i first get up from sitting for awhile. went xmax shopping. tried on spanx. walked around quite a bit. most activitity ive done in two weeks. hopefully back in the gym in two weeks. i eat like a pig when left with nothing to do. doc gave me my pre op pictures so ill try scanning them in later - nice to see and remember where i started from when im looking at my swollen belly. Updated on 11 Dec 2016: on my last doc visit he gave me a copy of my pre op photos. tomorrow is two weeks. hopefully i wont be as bloated as i am today. i look like a swollowed a watermelon. sent my husband back to the store for mag citrate. cant stand it any more. Updated on 14 Dec 2016: out and about xmas shopping yesterday. walked alot around the mall. my husband took me to lululemon to try on new clothes. let me tell you scary. i tried on the same size tights that i always wear except they looked terrible. while they fit in the waist they all looked like i had a kim kardashian behind!!! holy hell. i tried my old pair on again this morning and they didnt look that bad so im pretty sure it was the swelling but i guess i didnt realize how swollen by hips / behind were too. i thought it was all in the front. seriously looked like a bad brazilian butt lift. i thought i could at least were my yoga tights around insted of sweat pants, but now not so sure. yikes. on a happier note, i am getting around pretty well. still sore and a little hunched but mostly a night with swelling. i stopped taking all pain medicine when the last drain came out not because it stopped hurting, but because the constipation was killing me despite stool softner, phillips milk of magnesia, prunes, and a ton of water. i had to resort to mag citrate twice when i was unable to go to the bathroom for at least a week each time, that was more uncofortable than the abdominal pain. i moved into spanx a couple of days ago. not a fan. definately more swelling with spanx than with the binder. so i decided to keep the binder on over the spanx for some part of the day. makes me feel better, i think it helps but who knows if it really is doing anything. i see the surgeon later today. he wants to see me in the spanx so we will see what he has to say. they are a size small, i cant really go any smaller, but maybe i need more compression than they are giving me. will see. also, i tried on bikini bottom. incision line is just a bit above. sucks. hoping this will drop as the swelling goes down. probably wishfull thinking on my part, but i can hope. ill ask later see what he says. Updated on 19 Dec 2016: i look pretty much the same day to day. frustrating waiting for swelling to subside so i can see what im going to end up with. up two pounds from yesterday!! so i know im a bloated mess. could barely get my spanx on!! Updated on 11 Jan 2017: On the beach...trying not to get to much sun on the belly button. Litlle swollen from holiday cocktails and such!! Back to reality soon enough. Updated on 16 Jan 2017: started back to work and the gym last week. wow am i tired. today's 7 weeks. managed some yoga, and a little running on the treadmill. felt so weird. tight, numb, kind of a weird pulling sensation. keep forgetting to update pictures in the morning. like to lose the holiday cookie and wine belly first.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery - Schenectady, NY

My doctor Dr. Victor Schingo gave me the gift of my younger self back to me. I am so much in love with the way my eyes look now. My upper lids had drooped and my lower eyelids had these huge bags under them. He fixed me, he gave me back my beauty, my self esteem and my love of life back. My lower eyelids were very troublesome as they had fallen, a genetic formation and Dr. Schingo worked really hard to change the shape. He is a perfectionist, an amazingly gifted surgeon.
