Victoria Vitale-Lewis, MD (retired)

I had a breast augmentation and I could not have had a better experience. It was through the belly button, so I was left with a small, 4 cm scar inside my belly button (completely hidden). The staff was amazing and made me feel extremely comfortable. Dr. Vitale-Lewis did such an fantastic job. My breasts looked so natural that many people could not believe I had surgery. Afterwards, several of my friends wanted their breasts enlarged as well, and only wanted to go to Dr. Vitale -Lewis. l did my homework, and it was worth it. I was well taken care of before and after the surgery.

I had a tummy tuck by Dr Vitale- Lewis , my scar is very thin and has healed to where it is barely noticeable. My experience was wonderful she took her time to make sure it was perfect.
The after care was wonderful her nurses and assistant was great. I would recommend her to anyone. My results surpassed the expectations the dr gave me. I am very grateful I can wear clothes I never could before

Dr. Vitale-Lewis listened to me and guided me on what would look best on my face. She did exactly what we decided and it could not look prettier. My nose still looks wonderful. The staff was very helpful and caring. I would never go to anyone else and miss her greatly. She did other procedures that I am very grateful for and very pleased with the outcome.

Dr. Vitale-Lewis did a great feminine facelift on me which has lasted all this time. Very grateful for such a wonderful result. They held my hand throughout the recovery and I was out in public in very quickly. Still looks great. Could not be happier. Do not be afraid to go for it if you are thinking about it

Amazing results of all the surgeries that Dr. Vitale-Lewis performed on me through the years. All of my experiences with her more than exceeded my highest expectations. She was very talented and was able to make my results dramatic but always natural. Since she has retired I have not found another plastic surgeon that I trust as much as her.

I have pectus excavatum and resulting breast asymmetry. It is hard to find reviews and pics of cosmetic surgery correction of this; everyone recommends the chest wall to be repaired but the recovery is bad and it is not interfering with my quality of life. So, i opted for breast augmentation. My surgeon was great, went through the areola so i have NO scar! My implants are saline-silicone was not allowed at surgery time-& under muscle so they look and feel natural.
However, my right side had less breast tissue and developed a slight contracture.
Overall, i love them. I can wear a bathingsuit and the size difference is slight. However, due to having kids (got pregnant 4 mo post op!) and the contracture, i am having a revision with a tummy tuck when i graduate school in 2 years. I am going to start consults early this time, bc last time i consulted 2-3mo prior and made a quick decision. I am much older now and ok with waiting :)

Post op, i was in a little pain. My chest felt heavy& anesthesia made me throw up 3-4 times .
I wore regular clothes the next day. I went from B to D (&DD with pregnancy!) and am very happy with that choice.
Massaging them was the worst and therefore I did it weak, which may be why i got the contracture. Lessons learned!
I joined this site to discuss and learn as i begin my revision surgery!

i just wanted a little skin removed. when I woke up I knew something wasn't right because of the area of pain was way more than I thought it should have been. I felt like the orbits had been eviscerated. She scooped all fat and too much skin. One eye is bigger than the other and I look like Popeye on one side and droopy brow on the other. It's like the lift was done backwards. The lids were liftedup near the nose and pulled in towards the nose. It looks harsh.

Don't believe the esthetician either. I said I don't know if her style was right for me and she assured me that I would look so much better when she was done. Don't know how to fix it and wish I had never had it done. Should have asked around more.
