Dr. DeLange is the best, hands down. With no exaggeration, I can say that he gave me a second life. I already knew that he was the best, because a number of my girlfriends were his clients, so I had no reservations that I would be in good hands. I had multiple procedures done, TT, breast lift/implant replacement, lipo, old silicone lip implant repair and Orbera. Although my super transformation started with Orbera, a new weight loss procedure that I've learned about from Dr. DeLange.
I came for my consultation for TT and breast lift and was told that I would not be able to achieve great results if I don't lose weight. Ouch, but I knew that too. I was 204 lbs and size 14 back then. But I appreciated his honesty. Truth can hurt, but also can be a greatest motivator. That's how I learned about Orbera weight loss procedure, and it appealed to me, being non-invasive and non-permanent. I had the procedure done the following month. (Orbera is a balloon, inserted into your stomach for 6 months, which prevents you from being hungry, while you learn to make a better lifestyle choices) The entire 6 months I was closely observed by Dr. DeLange and his wonderful team, with all the needed support and encouragement. Over those 6 months I came to the office multiple times for check-ups and it was almost like coming home. Everyone is super nice and made me feel important. Who doesn't like that feeling, right?
6 months flew by and with everyone's support and step by step guidance I have lost 50 lbs., adopted new healthy habits and generally felt as a happier person all around. On the day of Orbera balloon removal, I had my TT (with muscle tissue repair after 2 kids), breast lift with an implant replacement, lipo and lip repair. That alone took another 4 lbs. off. Yeeeyyy!!! Dr. DeLange said a few times that he will make me look like a ‘high-school girl’ but I always thought that it was a figure of speech……. IT WASN’T! On 2nd day post-op check-up when my wrappings were taken off, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I looked a million times better than I thought was possible. Speaking of self-confidence shooting up through the roof!!! Since the surgery I’ve lost another 10 lbs. retaining newly built habits, and now I am easily fitting in size 2/small clothing. I feel like a new person and walking through the door of Dr. DeLange’s office 7 months ago was the best thing I did. Highly recommend Estetica and its entire team as caring, knowledgeable, very friendly, attentive, and just beautiful.

Congrats on all your achievements, I too am I huge fan of Dr DeLange and his staff. I had a TT in 2014 and will be having a breast lift this Friday July 1st. I wouldn't go anywhere else...they are the best. I also lost over 50 lbs and it changed my life I went from a size 16 to 4/6. Really looking forward to my breast lift (without implants). Again congrats to you!

Hi Ann,
That's tomorrow!!!! How exciting!!!! Yes, they are the best. I've dropped from size 14 to 2. So we both know what a different much happier life it is, right? I am going to add some before-during and after pics shortly. I am absolutely happy with my results and wouldn't even consider going anywhere else. And the strangest thing is that after I had my TT and breast lift/implant exchange done, the pain was so different. On a scale 1 to 10, my tummy hurt on 12 the first 2 days, but my breast hurt on '0'. I was very surprised.
Now I have a problem. Estetica is 5 minutes away from my house and I can't seem to stay away from there. Now my husband is on Orbera and every time I go there with him or get my refills, I always get tempted to get something else done LOL
Good luck tomorrow. Tell everyone I said HI. And keep us posted :)

Hi Queen! a week out and I feel great, the breasts were a breeze. Agree on the pain level for TT, mine was the same. Be careful with more surgery, they say it's addictive! LOL but if it makes you feel good...Go For It!!

OMG, Ann, I missed your reply somehow. So it's been 3 months since. How are you feeling? Revamped your whole wardrobe yet? :)
I am still happy to be where I am. Haven't gained any weight. As for the addiction...... Stephanie got me hooked on lash extensions, then the Botox followed and some other injectables.... But I am trying to keep it under control :)
