I am almost one month post-op from an abdominoplasty w/ oblique flankplasty with Dr. Bruno. Even though I still have a lot of healing to do, I couldn’t be happier with my results so far. It’s hard to believe that after a lifetime of feeling so self-conscious of my stomach, I can now put that behind me. I attribute my great result to Dr. Bruno’s talent, expert knowledge, and attention to detail.
I initially consulted with Dr. Bruno because I was interested in getting a lower body lift. After he evaluated me, he explained that given my specific concerns and anatomy, an abdominoplasty combined with an oblique flankplasty would better address my concerns. I am really glad Dr. Bruno suggested this approach, because he was able to give me results beyond what would’ve been achievable with a traditional lower body lift. From what he explained, the oblique flankplasty is a more direct excisional approach to the love handle area in order to create a narrower waist. The tradeoff is a scar that goes up part of my back- Something I was willing to accept because I knew Dr. Bruno creates very neat and meticulous incisions/scars.
All of Dr. Bruno’s before and after photos are really beautiful, and in my personal opinion there’s a certain quality and consistency in his work that is hard to come by when looking online at other surgeon’s B&A photos. What I noticed in Dr. Bruno’s B&A photos is that he is able to create very impactful contours but in the most natural looking way. Dr. Bruno did that for me. To think how I had huge bulging flanks before and now I have a narrow waist and flat stomach is insane to me.
I appreciate Dr. Bruno in that in the consultation, he took the time to explain everything to me and never once did I feel rushed or pressured. He really listened to my concerns and knew exactly what needed to be done. I know there’s the advice out there that you should always consult with more than one plastic surgeon when looking to get a procedure done. To be honest, I never felt the need to do so after meeting with Dr. Bruno and his staff.
