Wonderful Surgeon and Amazing Results!

In December 2021, I had my child and later went on to lose about 100 pounds through diet and exercise over the next year and a half. Even after reaching — and maintaining — my goal weight for more than a year, I was extremely unhappy with the way I looked. Pregnancy, pumping, and significant weight loss left me feeling like a “sad deflated balloon,” and I knew I wanted a change.
In March 2024, I contacted Dr. Cappuccino’s office after hearing amazing recommendations and reading his glowing reviews. He was the first of several surgeons I planned to meet. When I met him for my consultation that June, he took his time, truly listened to my goals, and gave me realistic expectations for both recovery and outcome. I walked out knowing he would be my surgeon — and canceled all my other consultations.
The staff at his Mt. Airy office was just as wonderful. They made me feel at ease from the start, and Jennifer was incredibly responsive to every email, question, and concern I sent (and I sent plenty!). She never let more than a few hours go by without a reply.
We scheduled my surgery for November: a full drainless tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction to the flanks, and breast augmentation. Surgery went smoothly, and before I knew it, I was back home — and up the 24 stairs to my bedroom! Dr. Capp and his team checked in several times over the next couple of days, which I appreciated more than I can say.
Recovery was so much easier than I anticipated. Within 24 hours, I was up and moving fairly comfortably. I didn’t experience the level of pain I was expecting, and within 48 hours I no longer felt I needed constant help. By the end of week one, I felt 90% back to myself. And believe them when they say “you may experience swelling for up to a year.” I didn’t realize just how much swelling I still had until one morning around ten months post-op when I woke up and my pants were practically falling off — it truly felt like it disappeared overnight.
Today marks exactly one year since my life-changing surgery, and I am absolutely over the moon with my results. Using my goals and inspiration photos, Dr. Capp chose the perfect size and profile for my breast augmentation and performed a subfascial placement. I’m so glad we went that route — it preserved my pec muscles, helped avoid possible animation deformity, and made recovery easier and shorter.
And my tummy… Oh. My. God. It’s better than it ever was, even in high school. It used to be my biggest insecurity, and now it’s one of my favorite things about myself.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Cappuccino and his incredible team. He is truly a magician, and I am forever grateful for his skill, kindness, and the confidence he has given back to me.
