Almost 1 month post op- Dr. Del Vecchio is an amazing plastic surgeon!
WORTH IT$9,900
I have a condition known as Pectus carinatum (pigeon chest), and being 5'8 160lb I received 450 cc mentor silicone implants and 500cc of fat grafting under the muscle. I needed fat grafting because I didn't have enough breast tissue to support natural looking implants that gave me the look I wanted, so I chose Dr. Del Vecchio because he is on the forefront of a new way of fat grafting that gives amazing results. I am so happy I decided to proceed with my surgery with him, I did a lot of research on different doctors because I wanted to be sure of how I'm spending my money. He is very professional and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him as a plastic surgeon, especially if you have a larger bone structure and still want large breasts.

1 day post-op!
Yesterday morning I went in for surgery at 9am, and got home around 4pm. I received silicone implants submuscular through my armpits. I also got liposuction with the fat grafted to my breasts. I got 450cc implants and 500cc fat transfer. They are very bruised and swollen, and I am in a LOT of pain! I take the percocets every few hours but after taking one I end up taking another a couple hours later (script says take 1-2 per dose). I'm also on an antibiotic to take 4 times a day. My doctor has me in compression leggings and bodice, along with a strap to push my breasts down, but no surgical bra. I have a follow up June 4th and until then I can't take off anything or shower (bleh!). Maybe in a day or two I'll go to a hair salon just to get my hair washed and blow-dried.
I am IN LOVE with my breasts! They look wonderful despite the bruising and I can tell my doctor did an amazing job. I can't wait to feel like a normal person and be able to wear cute clothes and bathing suits!

Question, what is the fat grafting for? I never heard of that.

I have a large ribcage and chest and had very small breasts pre-op. Since I am 5'8 I needed larger implants to be able to tell a difference. Since I didn't have enough breast tissue to cover the size implants I needed, fat was grafted to make them look natural and allowed me to have larger results.

Thank you! I like the looks of them now but they are very bruised and painful.

Congratulations! Even though you have some bruising, I can see from your photos that you have great results. Don't forget to counteract the constipating side effects of the pain medication. Hope you're feeling better today. Keep us posted on your post-op appointment this week!
