The Best Surgical Experience & Outcome Imaginable

I can tell you it is near impossible to have a better surgical outcome or experience than you will have with Dr. Stephen Vath. I feel like I won the lottery - and I would know since I have had a lot of surgery, much necessary and some to break even while wanting to remain professionally viable in sales - and out of a little feminine vanity as I age. I am grateful that extreme burns as a child could be semi-corrected, that I can breathe better due to sinus surgery, that my feet fit my shoes due to a bunionectomy and that my top 100 employer has a database of best outcome surgeons for hip replacement. And I made a great decision to have a first facelift at 45. Some surgeries have had really good outcomes with troublesome recoveries like unexpected minor outcomes, or slight infection, or asymmetry or really bad anesthesia that damaged my throat. So believe me when I say I have a broad range of experience. I had both a face / forehead lift and a breast lift, one planned and one a blessing. Since the first facelift was so successful that I was perhaps spoiled not seeing a sagging neck or jewels or occluded eyelids and flatline brows for so long, I was willing to spend money I might otherwise spend on a new car spiffing up my human vehicle instead. I combed and blew up before and after pictures at cosmetic surgery centers for a few years. I was looking for something natural, well-rested versus fancy. My objective is to age gracefully. After so much scrutiny and a few consultations, I met Dr. Vath. I was extremely comfortable. His recommendations, although different than my initial objective proved upon outcome to leave my first really good facelift in the dust. He got rid of the previous scars which are obvious to a trained eye, and any small, faint signs left will be undetectable to anyone but me. Magic!

Now on to the reconstructive surgery I’d had when very young for burns…I really was just pleased to be in better shape than I started after the misfortune as a child. But I did have one surgical scar which was painful, so asked Dr. Vath if he would consider a scar revision while I was already out. He looked at me with sincere sympathy and with the eye of a sculptor and asked if I was in a position to have my breast lifted and reshaped. I am so glad I did. While I still have some burns surrounding my breasts, they are eclipsed by pretty, perky breasts that most of us dream of and unless we are born with them, can never imagine having. Dr. Vath seemed to erase every imperfection, gave me lovely symmetry, and much of his mastery is not only in his beautiful suturing (done right, it heals and is almost imperceptible, when you care for it during healing), Dr. Vath is the master of proportion. His brag sheet says he is an artist - and it is true. His attention to detail is impeccable. When I received an email requesting a review, I was delighted. Sure I paid him - but my insurance and I have paid many lesser and less caring surgeons, so I was feeling indebted to Dr. Vath and Kari for the TLC and outcome which will have a positive impact on my self esteem and fun for the rest of my life. And now I am grateful to tell you, who may be feeling worried and confused about who to entrust with something so permanent and

impactful, that while surgery does involve cutting and healing (be realistic), if you are looking for an outcome better than YOU can imagine, at the hands of someone who is interested in and proud of helping you to be your best possible you, I recommend Dr. Vath as the most expert, careful and caring surgeon I have ever had - among many fine but lesser surgeons.
