Got my Brazilian butt lift done around 17 months ago. It was the best decision I could make. My confidence went to the sky, and I’m so happy that I chose Dr. Vincent… It’s funny because when I got into his office I was with the mindset of “i want a big butt, a huge one” He said he was going to try his best and he did! It wasn’t as big as I wanted, but it was just perfect and it looks so natural! I do want to get another round with him tho. I feel like I still have some fat left in my stomach and flanks. I searched around other surgeons and im like “nop, I want Dr. Vincent to do it” … I lost around 10 pounds since my surgery and lost 3 inches around my hips/butt area :( .. I’m still undecided if to get a mini tummy tuck or not, since I have saggy skin on stomach… I got lipo on the arms as well, I didn’t see a difference in that tho
I had an idea of what I was going for when I lost most of my boobs from weight loss, but Dr. Lepore and his wonderful assistant Tammy made it so easy and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted!! I chose 415cc under the muscle and went from a 32b to a 32ddd!! When I had it done he did an amazing job!!! There was a short recovery, but I even loved them on day 3!! I went wedding dress shopping a few weeks later and I ended up loving every dress I tried on!! Of course I had an ultimate favorite, but it’s also because after the augmentation I loved my body shape even more!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor!! He is kind, knowledgeable, and a wonderful surgeon. He also keeps you looking very natural!! You won’t regret choosing him :)
Dr. Lepore is truly amazing! I felt comfortable during my first consultation with him. He answered every question I had about liposuction. I immediately scheduled my surgery and met with Tammy who does all the financing side. She was extremely helpful and sweet. On the day of my surgery I was a little nervous but when I got to meet Dr. lepores nurses it all went away. Super kind ladies I cannot thank them enough for such comforting experience they gave me. I am recovering well with no issues, I am loving my results so far. I highly recommend Dr.Lepore he is a great surgeon and I will be going back for other procedures in the near future.
Dr. Lepore is amazing. I scheduled many consultations with other surgeons but had a difficult time getting appointments, getting past their staff, or get an appointment. Setting up an appointment with Dr. Lepore was effortless and efficient. Then, when I met him it was a done deal. He is a very genuine, upbeat, sweet, and honest person. He made me feel heard and confident that he knew what he was doing, in fact, he teaches breast augmentation at universities and has over 34 years of experience!! He even told me the procedure was a luxury, it should just add to my happiness, so don’t do it if it's going to cause financial strain, talk about being a good person.... it is heartwarming to know there are good surgeons who care about their clients and not just after every nickel and dime.Luckily, I can afford luxury and Dr. Lepore did an amazing job!! My procedure was done in November and now January I am fully recovered, with no complications, and feeling 200% more confident than before. I have met him twice now post-surgery and his character is the same, sweet, honest, and upbeat! I highly recommend Dr. Lepore for all your cosmetic surgery needs, you will be well cared for, well informed, and look fabulous!
After visiting multiple doctors I decided to go with Dr. Lepore for rhinoplasty and chin lipo. Dr. Lepore made this decision so easy with his amazing bedside manner and his extensive knowledge and experience in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. I have never had surgery before so I was so nervous but so excited and oh my god, I am SO HAPPY with my results! He did EXACTLY what I wanted and overdelivered. I was completely blown away and still gleaming over my new profile!! Not only is Dr. Lepore wonderful but his staff and team were seamless, helpful, and personable. I highly, highly recommend Lepore and his amazing team!!!
I cannot, cannot, CANNOT recommend Dr. Lepore enough. I have had a persistent dorsocervical fat pad - "buffalo hump" - for my whole life, and finally could afford to get rid of it, although I'm not at my ideal weight. Dr. Lepore was a great listener, encouraging but not overpromising. I really felt respected during my consultations. The entire office is full of incredible staff, all of whom made me feel welcome and comfortable in a really vulnerable situation. The facility is clean and inviting. I also felt very in control of the financial situation - they gave me information and options, but I never felt pushed while I was still deciding if I wanted to have the procedure. They helped me understand my financing options - I ended up using Carecredit and felt very informed. On the day of my surgery, I was nervous, but everyone helped me feel very at ease. The operating room (from what I remember before I went under!) was clean and lovely. Honestly, he has good reviews, but I chose Dr. Lepore for my consultation mostly based on proximity. For any future procedures, I'll be choosing him because I know he knows what he's doing and has the skills to get the results. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone!
I've had small breasts (34B) my whole life, but after having 2 kids, they totally deflated. I was smaller than AA cup after kids and needed professional help. My experience of getting a consultation, picking my size, surgery, and recovery was amazing from start to finish. The HARDEST thing is picking the size, because its hard to envision your body with new breasts. I tried the implants at the doctor's office and went slightly bigger than the size I thought looked best. All the advice I got told me to go slightly bigger than what I thought I wanted, and that was good advice. Recovery was a a week of rest, breast massage, and painkillers, but I felt better every day and was up and about in a few days. 6 months post op and they look and feel so natural. I still haven't bought a bra yet (because I don't need one) but I'm measuring around a DD now. Updated on 13 May 2020: Adding photos since they didn't post with my original review. My breasts were high up for a while but settled nicely. In a bralette they look very natural, and with a push up they have that nice look of cleavage I was going for.
Love the staff !!! Great experience! Got a bbl. I look bomb ! Still a bit swollen just got my procedure yesterday. I can already tell my results are going to be bomb! The whole staff was nice and sweet. I can’t wait till my final results . Dr Lepore is the best and he did his very best for a petite woman like me ! Made a good decision
Based on the excellent reviews here and other websites, I chose to have a consultation with Dr. Lepore first. I was immediately impressed with his kindness, knowledge, and professionalism. He understood the aesthetic goals I wanted to achieve and thoroughly explained the procedures I wanted and expected outcomes. By the end of the consultation, I knew I found the perfect surgeon. I also want to give a shout-out to his wonderful staff: Tammy, Donna, and Michelle! The procedures I had were a breast lift, mid-facelift, and neck lift and I'm ecstatic with the results!! I can't recommend Dr. Lepore highly enough!! I must stress the importance of following Dr Lepore’s pre and post-operative instructions. I have had a very satisfying recovery with no complications and I believe it’s because I did everything he recommended!
I started developing very early, I was probably about 9 when I saw the first signs of breasts coming in. I was happy about it until I turned about 12. I was probably in a D cup or approaching a D cup by that time. By the time I was 14 and in high school I was a 28DDD. My breasts were so big that some kids at school made a game out of them and another girl's breasts. There was a poll going around: who had the larger cup size, me or Katie (name changed). The kids got a mutual friend of ours to ask each of us separately, knowing we would gladly tell her because she was our friend. For those wondering the outcome, I was the larger cup size.... Fast forward to now, I'm 27 years old and am now a 32J. I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall and 137 pounds. My breasts ballooned to this size (from a 32G to 32J) after I started depo provera 2 years ago and gained weight. I went from 130 to 150 pounds almost over night! I've been working to lose weight (I'm almost down to my original weight yay!) in hopes that my breasts will shrink and although my tummy is shrinking, my breasts aren't going anywhere ugh... I've been complaining of discomfort, self confidence issues and back, neck and shoulder pain since high school but now it's UNBEARABLE. I can't even sit through an entire movie while sitting up. My back starts hurting so bad I have recline or lay down. So, after going back and forth with the idea since I was 16 years old, I've finally made up my mind, I'm getting breast reduction surgery. On September 2 I called my insurance company to see if I have coverage for that, sadly they only cover 35% but that's better than nothing. Then I called my regular hospital to set up an appointment with my PCP. To my surprise he had an opening for a telephone chat the very next day! So I took it and told him my issues, he forwarded me over to a surgeon. I have a chat with the surgeon scheduled for next week, September 10. Fingers crossed! Updated on 7 Sep 2019: I can't wait to wear things I've always wanted to wear and go bra-less. I've been having dreams about getting a reduction for the past week, I wake up pretty disappointed lol I have been close to tears thinking about the relief and boost in my confidence Updated on 8 Sep 2019: But now I'm wondering how am I going to pay for this? I've considered care credit but after doing some research and seeing some reviews I've decided against it. Other people have said they are pretty shady, I'm very protective of my credit so I don't even want to risk it. I'll go with my original plan of getting another credit card with my regular bank. I like my bank and I trust them. They haven't let me down yet. So I'll go to the bank on Monday and speak with a banker about my options. At the moment I'm still going through the process of seeing if insurance will cover part of the surgery. But I know even with insurance paying partially I won't be able to afford it without help. Another issue is: will the surgeon I want to go to accept my insurance??? I want the surgeon I want to better ensure results I want... should I reject my insurance's assistance to get one of the surgeons I really want? Anyway I'm very excited and optimistic! I speak to a surgeon in two days! It's not a consultation... just a short phone call my PCP set up, I suppose just so the surgeon can ask me some questions about my health issues regarding my breasts. Updated on 10 Sep 2019: So, today I had my phone call with the surgeon that my PCP referred me to, he seemed pretty laid back and answered all of my questions clearly. I'm so excited he said he doesn't typically use drains (yesss)! After all of my questions were answered he gave me the number to his medical assistant so I could set up an in-office consultation. So that will be for next week! Yay! As of now I have two in-office consultations with two different surgeons next week. I want to set up a consultation with one more surgeon for next week who I'm very interested in, she's a woman who specializes in breast reductions and her results are fabulous! The only issue I have is that for the surgeon my PCP referred he doesn't have a website, no before-and-afters or anything like that because the hospital he works for wants to maintain their patients' privacy, which I understand, but I don't like that I can't see if he's actually good reshaping?? Maybe he'll have pictures in the office. It wouldn't hurt to just go to the consultation and see what he can do for me. Updated on 11 Sep 2019: Regarding the woman who specializes in breast reductions... yeah so it's mid-September and just for a one-hour consultation she's scheduling all the way out into December right now since she's BOOKED SOLID and only meets potential patients one Mondays and Thursdays ugh. And honestly, I'm not trying to wait that long to get the ball rolling. I want to do this while I still have my nerve. Speaking of nerve, as things are coming together I'm beginning to feel veeery nervous. My boyfriend's mom has had a breast augmentation some years ago, so I think I'll ask her what the healing is like for the breasts in general although what we both are seeing (or saw) plastic surgeons for opposite reasons. Updated on 12 Sep 2019: I was getting dressed for work this morning and stopped in my tracks seeing myself in the mirror. I’ve been losing weight (13 pounds so far) and the rest of my body is getting so small and these jugs aren’t going anywhere... it looks so ridiculous to me.. like too cantaloupes on my chest. Not to mention how much my neck and back will be in pain by the end of the work day. Updated on 18 Sep 2019: I’m sooo happy and excited because my consultation went GREAT! It was my first consultation with any surgeon and I feel so good about this doctor that I’ve decided to go with him (he was in my top 2, I really wanted to go with him or Dr. Greenberg anyway). He answered 85% of the questions I had before I even asked him. His results and reviews are amazing and he was so kind. He even said he would do his best to get me down to my dream size but was sure to let me know that may or may not be possible since it’s like 6 cup sizes down and he will at the very least improve my asymmetry. My breasts might just be sisters rather than twins but I’m okay with that because right now I feel as if they’re cousins lol He and his assistant asked when I wanted to do it and I said ASAP! They found an open spot for NEXT WEEK! I was so surprised they could get me in so fast! So of course I took the spot and paid my $1,200 deposit. My insurance most likely won’t pay because they want me to go to a doctor within their network but to be frank, I don’t feel comfortable with any of them because I can’t find them online, they’re pretty much nonexistent on the Internet. My mom tried to search for the doctor my PCP referred me to and all she found was a Facebook page that he hadn’t posted on since 2017. So absolutely NOT. Updated on 24 Sep 2019: So it was pretty quick and not at all what I thought it would be! They just took some before pictures, answered more questions I may have and went over what to do before and after surgery. The anesthesiologist and a nurse is also supposed to call me this evening or tomorrow evening some time. I paid the rest of my doctor bill and that was pretty much it! I paid $1,200 for my deposit so the remaining was $11,600. Omg I had to clench my chest. That was more than the price of my car! Lol But I know it’ll be worth it so I’m my stressing about it. Updated on 26 Sep 2019: Omg I’m so happy! I can’t even see my breasts yet but just from seeing the difference in size and how different my back and neck are feeling already, I’m sooo happy! I don’t know my size yet, but I’m currently wearing and fitting into a 34 D (starting size 32J) sports bra!! The waist band is a little big because I’m normally a 32, but I didnt want to go through the trouble of finding a 32D sports bra that zips in the front with the possibility of me not being about to fit it anyway after swelling goes down. Anyways! My doctor, the nurses and anesthesiologist were amazing! So kind and made me feel really comfortable. They pretty much melted away my anxiety because of how reassuring they were. My nurse called both my boyfriend and me a few hours after the surgery to check in. And she’s supposed to call tomorrow as well. I honestly feel really great. I’m walking around the apartment by myself. Not doing too much but I can get my own water, use the bathroom by myself and other simple things where I don’t have lift. My boyfriend prefers to do things for me, which I love, but I do want to walk around and have some independence, the doctor says walking a little right away will help me heal up faster. Unfortunately I have drains but they’re not as uncomfortable as I thought they’d be! Yay! Updated on 29 Sep 2019: I was allowed to shower yesterday and I was so scared to even look at myself that I had my boyfriend unwrap me and tell me if I looked “scary” or not lol but omg 2 days post op and I already was looking great!! Dr. Lepore did such an amazing job. And it seems he got me to the size I was hoping for which is a large C/small D. My post op sports bra is a 34 D and without gauze there’s a tiny bit of room! And this is WITH swelling! I’m so excited I could cry tbh!! Anyways today I tried to go without the strong pain pills and only take Tylenol and was super uncomfortable.. I’m only 3 days post op and have drains so maybe it was just too soon. My mom told me it’s great I’m trying to push myself but don’t overdo it since it is a major surgery. So I decided to take the Percocet for a few more days and stop them after getting drains removed on Thursday, by then I’ll be a week post op. I’ve been eating really light.. mostly fruit, nuts, soups and popsicles. My appetite is fine but I don’t wanna overeat since I’m not moving around a lot. I’m super constipated as well I haven’t gone #2 for 4 or 5 days.. I pooped on Wednesday, my surgery was on Thursday and now it’s Sunday. Exlax isn’t working AT ALL. I hear milk of magnesia does the trick so I’ll be trying that next. Does anyone have any suggestions for going to the bathroom?? Updated on 2 Oct 2019: Omg people on YouTube always said it didn’t hurt and was just kinda uncomfortable.. BUT IT HURT lol thank goodness removing the drains is so quick. And it anticipated it being painful so I took a Percocet about an hour before my appointment.. so the pain was at least toned down. I don’t even wanna think about how painful it would’ve been without it. A few minutes after getting them removed I felt 10x better! I honestly felt like I was weeks post op instead of only 6 days post op haha. My boyfriend took me to target afterward because I wanted to try on some bras because the sports bras I bought beforehand are a little loose now yay! It’s a D bra, so I tried on a size C and it fit perfectly!! Omg! My doctor promised me he would do his BEST to get me to my goal size and he did it!!! HE IS SO AMAZING :’) he brought me down 7 cup sizes he’s a miracle worker. Updated on 9 Oct 2019: It was a little uncomfortable but definitely not too bad, just in case it was painful I took a pain pill an hour before my appointment which was a good decision! The office workers and doctor always remember who I am when I come in, and can I just say I LOVE that! They’re so sweet and friendly and efficient and perform good work! My doctor said in two to three more weeks I should be fine to exercise again, so yay! And now that the stitches are removed I can start moisturizing my breasts! My next appointment is in about 5 to 6 weeks since things are healing up so well, but he did say if I need an appointment sooner than that I can definitely come in at no extra cost. Well that’s about it for now!
Dear Awesome512544, form your photos and description, I believe you do have some characteristics associated with tuberous shaped breasts. These can include: larger/looser areolas, relatively narrow breast base diameter, relatively high inframammary folds, and a shorter distance from the inframammary fold to the nipple. These characteristics can result in a breast which tends to be more conical or tuberous in shape. A subglandular breast augmentation, with release/scoring of the contracted breast base glandular tissue and possible Benneli or Donut style breast lift can correct this situation. The resulting breast shape should not only be larger, but also rounder/fuller with a better balance between areolar and breast size and diameter. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive breast augmentation and breast lift experience. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
Breast shapes can vary significantly due to a number of different reasons. Genetics, pregnancy, breast feeding and aging can all contribute to the shape of ones breasts. Regardless of the cause, your breast shape can be resolved with a breast lift. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, who has extensive experience with breast lift surgical procedures. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
From three of your four photos, I would not consider you to have tuberous breasts. Your second photo does seem to have some characteristics consistent with tuberous breasts; i.e., narrow breast base and high inframammary fold with short inframammary fold to nipple distance. Due to this, I would suggest a breast augmentation with a silicone implant placed in the subglandular position (above the Pectoralis major muscle). If the breast base is contracted, which it appears to be, the base of the breast can be released from the underlying constricting fascia and the base of the breast can be scored. This will allow the base to unfurl/widen and better match the diameter of an implant that would complement your chest dimensions. Given the smaller size of the areolas, I would probably suggest this procedure be done via an inframammary incision. If you choose to have surgery, I believe you would have a result that you would be pleased with and I don't believe it should be difficult to accomplish. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
From your photos, I don't think you require a full 360 degree body lift. A full tummy tuck, with possible moderate lateral extension ( about half the was around), and a flank/lower back liposuction should give you the result you are looking for. Seek out a plastic surgeon with extensive tummy tuck experience. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
An option, short of orthognathic or implant surgery, can be the use of an injectable filler. Voluma is a type of hyaluronic acid filler that can augment the chin and can last up to two years. Because it is an injectable filler, the amount and location of the augmentation can be controlled more precisely than the surgical treatments and takes just a minute or two to perform. Also, the cost is substantially less than the surgical options. If you don't like the results, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Seek out a plastic surgeon who performs this option, as well. Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
