The Best Silicone Removal Dr.

ORIGINAL POST

The Best Silicone Removal Dr.

I had several surgeries with a very well known Dr in NY (I won’t even mention his name because it’s not necessary and I am not here trying to bash anyone). The purpose of my review is to be able to help anyone out there making the right decision, which in turn will save you pain, surgeries, and suffering. Long story short, after having multiple surgeries with the Dr in NY I still had a significant amount of product left. I was experiencing pain, itchiness, redness, burning in certain areas. I decided to have a consultation with Dr Gallerani so he could review my new MRI and explain how much product I had left and to find an answer for my symptoms. Dr. G is very professional and knowledgeable, he truly knows what he is doing when it comes to silicon removal, he sat down with me and thoroughly explained my MRI while showing it to me. Dr G. Showed me that I still had significant amount of the product left in each buttock which he could definitely remove. I decided to go ahead with the removal with Dr Gallerani. I had my removal a few months ago and the recovery was very smooth and I feel happy with no more itchiness, no more pain, and the most confident I have felt in a long time. From my own research Dr G removes the most amount of foreign material including the muscle as many Drs typically remove superficially and then leave your muscle full of product; and yes, full removal if muscle is not possible in many cases because as Dr Gallerani says you need muscle to be able to walk but having removal of the most he could take out will improve your quality of life tremendously because I am an example of that. Honestly I would have saved a lot of time, surgeries, pain,and suffering if I had picked the right Dr the first time. This review comes from someone who already went through it all and I feel a sense of responsibility in helping others going through what I went through.

Dr Gallerani is the best at removing it all or as much as possible!!!! Do you have to go thru reconstructive or are you done completely with it and fine just as you are?
I got removal and recon together. I am super happy with my results.
Who did you go to?
Sorry I didn’t mean to ask that lol
Do you mind if I see pictures I have a consul with this doctor next week xoxo
That’s good you were able to get both at one time because I thought he didn’t do that
Every case is different and I had already had multiple removsl surgeries with the previous Dr as I stated on the review. Normally With Dr Gallerani you only need one removal surgery and then reconstruction.
That’s a win win right there. He must had reconstructed you tissue and a little lift bc I know he didn’t do a fat transfer did he?
Dr G has a very unique way of doing recon, it’s not a simple bbl. I wouldn’t be able to explain it but if you need reconstruction I would only go with him.
