I will start out by saying that I wish I could give Dr Spiro and his entire team including Mikayla, Jess, Kelly, Christina, Marlene and Erika a 10 star review. From my first meeting with Dr Spiro and Christina I felt like they listened to me intently and explained what my options were after examining me. I knew I was in the best hands from that moment. Dr Spiro is an excellent surgeon which is first and foremost to me. He is precise, methodical, a great listener, patient, flexible, professional and best of all ….an artist. I have researched and interviewed surgeons for 7 years trying to choose the best one after having had a horrible outcome from a prior breast augmentation that was performed by another surgeon. Dr Spiro was the only surgeon that discovered I had capsular contractions in my breast from my implant while all the other surgeons I interviewed never recognized it.
Dr. Spiro also told me that I would only feel some pain for the first 4 days after my tummy tuck which pleasantly surprised me during our meeting although I must confess I highly doubted. I thought it would be unbearable but it was just as he described. I did not need any heavy narcotics just a little Tylenol and Valium and I was good. By Day 4 , I felt great !! By day 7 I did not even need to take one Tylenol!! This is how you know you made the right choice from a medical perspective. Aesthetically he promised I would come to my first post op visit and be so happy with my results and I was!!!! My breasts are absolutely gorgeous!! I was in shock because they were an absolute disaster before the surgery to the point that every time I went for a Mamo I was told to go see Dr Spiro to get my implants redone. Glad I listened!! Before Spiro, my breast implants would move when I would work out. They actually moved outside of my sports bra into my armpit. I looked like a circus act. I had animation deformity which is extremely difficult to correct not to re-mention the capsular contraction.
Now let’s talk tummy. He tightened my skin perfectly so that it is taut but doesn’t look stretched. My skin looks so youthful now which before the surgery it looked sun damaged, stretched and wrinkled. He got rid of my Fupa (puboplasty), my love handles (flankoplasty), my distended belly which made me look like I was still pregnant (diastsis repair) and he liposuctioned my hips which I thought I didn’t need bc I am petite but I listened to him and am so happy I did because it created such a curvy shape in my waist and made my natural butt look incredible. He repaired two hernias of which one was discovered during surgery and was severe and the other was an umbilical hernia. He created a new belly button which is extremely tricky in a tummy tuck. Most surgeons fail at this step so I was so nervous. I showed him exactly how I wanted my belly button to look and he created the most natural, beautiful belly button ( nicer than the one I was born with). He sculpted my body into the shape of a youthful, sexy, classy woman. So feminine and beautiful. My advice is like a Nike ad. Just do it!
