2 Surgeries and Now Going to Another Surgeon - Fort Lauderdale, FL

UPDATED FROM Mandeerega

4 months post op - I finally look like myself AGAIN

So here we are... Im 4 months post -op and Im finally happy. My incredibly talented and humble plastic surgeon, Dr. Louis Villar - did a beyond belief transformation surgery. My down-time was minimal and my scars... what scars? Dr. Villar stitched each stich himself to assure the best possible outcome. I can not rave enough about this man and his superb skill. When Jeffrey Lagrasso placed my nipples on after each surgery he places them incorrectly, causing the distance from my areola to the breast fold to be so off that a full correction wasn't expected. Thankfully, I finally choose a man as my surgeon that took my corrective procedure personally. He photographed and video taped each visit and my entire procedure. I was his ONLY case the day of my surgery. I wasn't being rushed out, like the other complaints that I've seen about other surgeons.
All in all - I finally got what I was trying to accomplish.. unfortunately I choose a surgeon who wasn't very good the first, second and almost 3rd time.. thankfully Dr. Villar fixed what LaGrasso couldn't... A big thanks to everyone who has followed, emailed and messaged me through this journey. I cant thank you all enough- your support and shared stories have been greatly appreciated.

I feel for all you but I had my surgery done with Lagrasso and I'm very Happy with my results. However I believe in order to heal well you need to follow your Doctor's instruction to the T. Now I'm not saying you didn't but I have seen work from Lagrasso and it's Amazing. I think you're the only bad review he has but there is 2 sides to the story so I can't really judge as I am a satisfied patient, he has been very professional and answered all my questions, never felt rushed. I do sympathize with you and I'm glad you are Happy now. You look great.

Well thx :) I'm not the only one who has had a bad experience with him though.. I've been contacted by about 15 other women whom have had different surgeries with poor results requiring revisions.. In the end- your right, I do look great... 2 bad I had to go through 2 years of pain from a misplaced implant.. Plus horrendous scars. Hopefully LaGrasso has improved his technique and learned from his mistakes on me. I don't think that a self proclaimed " world renound surgeon" works at 5 different MedSpas either.. Usually a "world Renound" plastic surgeon has his OWN office, with his name on the wall and a simple lift and small implant is an easy task... Not one that requires 3 surgical revisions.. But I'm glad you had a better experience :)

Thank you! Its great to finally not be in constant pain.. I can finally live my life again.
October 1, 2014
Yes! Good for you. You look amazing. I may even look up your surgeon to fix my botched breasts from Dr. Mark Pinsky in Palm Beach Gardens. Enjoy your fabulous results!!

Thank you! And yes, defiantly look into Dr. Villar - he went above and beyond to make me look beautiful again :)

You wrote "Dr. Villar stitched each stitch himself" I don't understand what that means? Do drs not usually stitch each one? Glad you got a good outcome from your revision, thanks!

11 days post 1st Corrective Surgery

Mandeerega
So Im so glad to say that my 1st of 2 corrective surgeries is finally complete!!! Im only 11 days post surgery and Im finally no longer suffering from the pain of the misplaced implant that Dr.LaGrasso gave me. I unfortunately had to endure a 3 hour surgery, however it was well worth it. My new surgeon was able to cut out most of the bad scarring that was given to me by Dr.LaGrasso and he was also able to begin the relocation of one of my nipples. I can finally look at myself in the mirror without wanting to crawl in a hole and die.
Im glad that I was finally able to save enough money for my corrective surgeries and that I was finally able to fully trust another doctor. I'll be posting the video of my corrective surgery in a day or so and some new pics of my "work in progress" boobies ;)

Stay tuned! And certainly inbox me if you want a referral to an INCREDIBLY METICULOUS plastic surgeon!!

Thank you. Yes, I've had one of 2 required surgeries to correct what LaGrasso did. I'm hopeful that my confidence in doctors will be restored soon...
June 23, 2014
wow - I'm so sorry to hear that you had an unsuccessful surgery with LaGrasso. Did you reach out to the office that serviced you and ask to have them correct it?
June 25, 2014
Im doing better now.. if only LaGrasso would stop harassing me to remove my feedback. I feel that the surgical community deserves to know what happened to me with this man.

Girl I will be sure to let everyone know what kind of surgeon he is. In south Florida it seems like these type of surgeons are a dime a dozen. I am sorry you had to pay for his screw up. That is the great this about realself, anyone can post and it's bias. Thanks for the input
