I had a mini tummy tuck in 2004, after having 2 Cesareans with both of my pregnancies. What they didn't tell me is that if you pick up weight, the excess weight will end up going to your upper stomach. My doctor advised me to lose 20lbs before getting the surgery to have more skin to remove and have a overall better outcome. I lost a total of 27lbs , and I'm so glad I lost the weight. I'm 2 weeks post-op and just able to stand straight , though my lower stomach is still very tight.I haven't been walking outside , because it's cold , but plan to get out and walk. Updated on 28 Nov 2022: 4 weeks post-op, I still have some tightness, but getting better every day, I don't have to wear the Faja, and I wear Spanx or any shapewear that compresses without the very uncomfortable hooks. I'm walking every day and still sleeping on the recliner at night, due to the fact that I cannot lay flat or sleep on my stomach yet. Updated on 22 Dec 2022: I'm pleased with my results, and I'm still healing. I'm eating smaller portions, and plan to start working out consistently starting next week. I'm taking short breaks from wearing my compression garments (Spanx), but it is a weird sensation, tightness, and weak core, It goes away as soon as I put the compression wrap on. Total loss in my waist is 5 inches
Absolutely love my results!! Dr. Fearmonti and her staff were completely amazing!! I had a TT, MR, Lipo and Breast Reduction and Lift. She was attentive, understanding of my desires, honest about what my outcomes and was truly an astonishing doctor. I am going to schedule additional procedures with her and have begun to use her other in office services. My recovery was great and I am so glad I chose her and her staff!!
Dr. Fearmonti is very attentive to your needs & desired outcome. I've scheduled another surgery for a implant removal, lift & new silicone implants smaller, & I'm very excited. I absolutely recommend her,& will go to her for all of my surgical needs.
After years of trying to decide if I wanted to start my journey to become more female I had my very first consultation with a plastic surgeon. Today I met Dr Fearmonti. Her staff was wonderful. They never made me uncomfortable. Yhen the doctor w came and she was very detailed. She went over the pro and cons of all the different types of breast augmentation there are and what would work best for me and the outcome I was wanting. Now I have to decide when I want to proceed.
I had an excellent experience with Dr.Fearmonti. I have been wanting war lobe corrective surgery for a very long time and it put me at ease after she explained everything to me. It was fast and painless! She is wonderful!
Seven months ago I had a tummy tuck with breast implant removal, reduction and new implants inserted. Dr. Fearmonti addressed all my questions and concerns. The results are amazing! She is professional, skilled, kind, and thoughtful. The results of my surgery have improved the way I look and feel. Her clinic, Alon Aesthetics also offers, botox, fillers and laser treatments. I had a botox treatment three months ago and was thrilled with the results and Dr. Fearmonti's magic touch. I barely felt the needle. I now look and feel much younger than my actual age. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Fearmonti and her professional and caring staff! Updated on 13 Oct 2019: Last year I had corrective surgery for breast implant removal, reduction and reconstruction. At the same time I needed adominal repair due to 3 c-sections scar tissues removal and a hernia repair. Her expertise as a surgeon was absolutely superior. She is knowledgeable, skilled, thoughtful, reassuring and was able to keep my fears to a.minimum. from the first time I entered her office. I was greeted by her wonderful group of female staff members that were welcoming and answered all my questions. I cannot express my full gratitude for the amazing transformation of my new body. Her staff is highly qualified in a variety of services, such as laser treatments and skin care. Dr. Fearmonte has enhanced my face and lips with minimum fillers but with perfect percision and painlessly. She is one in a million of doctors that goes beyond to comfort her patients with her many talents, joyful attitude and sincere conern. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me. I highly recommend her!
Dr.Fearmonti and her amazing teams both in the office at Alon and the Surgery Center have exceeded all my expectations. From the very first time I called to set up a consultation. I knew that I was in good hands. I had a breast augmentation and a labiaplasty done in May of 2018. My implants had been in for 16 years. I noticed a change in the shape and was concerned. I received several referalls for surgeons in San Antonio. Dr. Fearmonti was the only doctor I interviewed before making my decision. I initially chose to see her because of her extensive training and reputation in the medical community. It was important to me too that I had a female surgeon. I knew from the moment I shook her hand at my consultation that she would be the one to make me feel complete again. She and Stephanie her MA were the two that I worked with for all things medical. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and Dr.Fearmonti’s right hand in the office. All of my questions pre & post surgery were promptly answered by Stephanie. Lisa the Office Manger and the financial team throughly explained all of the financial options and made it easy to make decision regarding billing. I really wanted to write this review to not only share how much I love Alon Aesthetic’s but also to share with other women how much the results have changed my sex life. I knew what to expect with my breast implants as I had them before. The news ones are softer and are the perfect size and shape! I wasn’t sure about the labiaplasty. I had been self conscious about that area of my body for years. We talked about it and throughly reviewed the procedure to make sure I was making the best decision for me. I decided to go for it and have the labiaplasty done at the same time as the implants. The results are incredible. I am having stronger, faster and longer orgasims. My self confidence and intimacy with my husband is also at a place it’s never been before. My husband gives the new me 5 Stars! The first few days of recovery were the hardest but completely manageable. The actual look of the labia is textbook even though there isn’t such a thing. It looks perfect! When I went to see Dr. Fearmonti for one of my last follow up visits she asked if I wanted to try a free treatment with Sylvia her extremely talented and knowledgeable Aesthetician. She also reminded me of the free for you and friend Botox session that was included with the surgery. Of course, I said yes! This is where my journey into my skin care began. I signed up for the Tier program in which I receive two treatments a month for a nominal price. Sylvia makes you feel comfortable and explains what she is doing and what she thinks is best to do next to achieve the results you’re looking for. I am even consistently putting sunscreen on everyday now!This program also instantly gave me access to reduced pricing on Botox! Something that I haven’t done before until this Halloween. After seeing the results of the laser hair removal, peels, masks and microdermabrasion on my face. I decided to give Botox a try. Wow! That’s all I need to say about Botox!I highly recommend Alon Aesthetics for all of your personal goals/dreams about your body and the beautifications you are looking for. You will have such confidence in Dr. Fearmonti and her team; that you will know anything you want to try will be done by the best and won’t be overdone! I would be happy to talk with you personally about my results. Please contact the office if you would like.
Recently returning to San Antonio from Asheville, N.C., I was in search of a Plastic Surgeon who had stellar credentials and offered a wide range of services. Dr. Fearmonti and her staff at Alon Asthetics and Plastic Surgery Center eased my mind immediately. In the last twenty years, I've had several procedures including full face, farhead and neck lift so I'm familiar with cosmetic surgery. Additionally, I've had breast implants and a tummy tuck. Once Botox and Juvaderm hit the market, I raised my hand for those age helpers too and have had these injections and fillers for the last ten plus years. While my surgical procedures were performed years ago, I've stayed familiar with the technology advancements in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Fearmonti has an outstanding educational background, provides all of the skill sets and caring hands to perform today's surgical procedures confidently and successfully. Earlier this year, Dr. Fearmonti was able to successfully create ear lobes which had "disappeared" from the 20 year old facelift. This tricky procedure turned out to be beautifully executed with Dr. Fearmonti creating two symmetrical earlobes that fit the face. I'm very grateful to her and her staff. I visited her office at Alon this past week for a wonderful facial provided by Sylvia and then Botox. What a great and caring "Center" always providing a personable and kind environment.
I was very pleased with my experience at this wellness center. Dr. Fearmonti and her staff were all accommodating as well as informative with my questions regarding different kinds of fillers. I am happy with what I’ve decided, Restylane for my lips, cheeks and my labial folds. I plan on returning soon for the under eye hollowness which is a filler called Bolotero. Thank you !
Amazing office, great surgeon and knowledgeable staff. These are the winning combination of a successful practice that produces great results and extremely happy patients. Dr. Fearmonti is a very personable and sympathetic surgeon. She is with you the entire journey from beginning to end. I highly reccomend her for something as minor as Botox to fillers as well as a tummy tuck or any invasive procedures.
I do recommend following up with your surgeon to examine the site. With that said, some partial dehiscence/wound breakdown is not uncommon and usually heals without intervention. From time to time I have used advanced wound dressings (collagens, silver based dressings) to expedite healing. Ask your Dr.
Bellafill is one of my favorite fillers for nonsurgical augmentation of the midface, nose and chin. I absolutely do recommend trying a hyaluronic acid based filler first (ie Juvederm) like you did, as it’s completely dissolvable, while Bellafill is not. I recommend a conservative approach—1-2 syringes Max per session to avoid overcorrection.
Partial wound dehiscence is not that uncommon after body contouring surgery. Wound care is based on amount of drainage and wound cultures. Culture-specific antibiotics and protecting the surrounding skinflint moisture are key. Aside from packing, I find negative pressure wound therapy (KCI-wound VAC) may expedite healing. The good news is that with time, this will heal, so hang in there.
You are very early in your recovery period. You can always go bigger, but I would try these out before making any decisions. Implants drop/descend 3-6 months postop (I have found it takes a bit longer in petite, athletic patients like you). I believe revisions should only be done after 6 months to ensure you make the right decision.
Your ultimate cup size will depend on the additive effects of implant + your breast tissue + where you get fitted for a bra. Cup size is very subjective. We aim for a final appearance rather than a cup size to ensure your aesthetic goals are met. Do try on some sizers in your Surgeon’s office, and do send your surgeon some representative pictures of your desired outcome (a wishlist). Best of luck.
