62 Years Old, Breast Lift, Removal of Implants - New York
I cannot say enough good things about this amazing experience. Having had 4 plastic surgeries over 20 years, this was hands down the very best and actually enjoyable! I interviewed 4 specialists for my breast uplift, reduction and removal of implants. Dr. Vickery was the only one who said she thought she could reduce them, and lift them without implants. The operation was super successful. They are high and perky and she made a nipple adjustment. The whole effect makes me look

57yo Stage 4 BC Survivor - New York
I had 'the works'- two surgeries to remove the cancer, 10 months of chemo and 33 radiation treatments. Dr. Vickery used the DIEP Flap procedure to create a beautiful symmetrical breast. She also worked to minimize the scar and improve the look of the cleavage. She's warm, funny and extremely competent. Everyone at the office is a pleasure.

20 Years Old, Breast Reduction - New York, NY
I am a 20 year old college student who experienced back pain and body image issues as a result of having breasts that were not proportional to my body. I tried all that I could to reduce my breast size without surgery, but nothing helped. When I began to consider this surgery, I knew that there were some risks to consider before I committed, but I knew of multiple people who had had great experiences with Dr. Vickery, so I wasn't too concerned. Now that I have gotten the surgery,

21 Years Old, DDD to B+ - New York
I'm about 3 months out of surgery with Dr. Vickery and I can now say that I should have done it 5 years ago. The whole surgery process was incredibly smooth. Dr. Vickery and her whole private staff are so incredibly sweet and you can tell they really want to make you feel comfortable. Dr. Vickery has preformed hundreds and hundreds of these surgeries and really is the best doctor in her field. Because of Dr. Vickery, my everyday life is infinitely better. I feel lighter, walking/running

Breast Cancer Unilateral Mastectomy with TRAM Flap - Manhattan, NY
I was diagnosed with breast cancer as a young wife and mother. The decision was made jointly with the physicians to have a mastectomy with TRAM Flap reconstruction. Many years later, I am thrilled with the outcome . Going through a cancer diagnosis and treatment is very difficult. Having a physician like Carlin Vickery made the journey less stressful. She is a special doctor. Her warmth, intelligence, and talent are rare qualities in a surgeon. Dr. Carlin Vickery is great!

32 Year Old, Diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Underwent Bilateral Mastectomy and Exchange Surgery - New York
I was referred to Dr. Vickery by my breast surgeon as well as another patient of Dr. Vickery's shortly after receiving my breast cancer diagnosis at 32 years old. At our initial consultation Dr. Vickery patiently and thoroughly explained what the surgeries would entail as well as what I could expect after. On the day of both my surgeries, her warm and comforting presence made all difference in the world. I could not be more thrilled with the results and receive complements
I really don't like my thighs or the stretchmarks behind my legs or the love handles that embrace my waist, but nothing, nothing that I dislike on my body beats the aversion I felt towards my the one asset that women are supposedly to die for. Boobs. *Sigh.* Like many on this forum, my breasts started growing at a really young age. By the time I was 12, they were comfortably in the B cup range. Fastforward to 16 years later and I was clinging on to a DDD. Barely. I'm an average

Breast Reduction for a More Active and Healthy Life. New York, NY
I have always been active and competitive with myself to improve my athleticism. During college my breasts grew several sizes and I began to experience significant lower back pain that inhibited my ability to run and generally to be as active and healthy as I desired. I understood that getting a breast reduction is not a small undertaking but after speaking with Dr. Vickery about my candidacy and about the outcomes that her other patients had experienced, I felt I was in the right

Facial Mole Removal - New York, NY
Dr. Vickery removed three moles of varying size from my face. I was getting married a little over a year after the procedure was done, so I was especially concerned about the healing process and any porential scarring. One mole was quite large and on my cheek. I had been told by other surgeons that removing it could result in a large "football-shaped" scar, so I had resigned myself to living with it. Dr. Vickery was able to remove the mole and leave no visible scar.
