Consult with Del Vecchio

WORTH IT$14,000
I came out of Dr. Del Vecchio's office feeling a little deflated. The office is nice enough but it is tiny and claustrophobic, and was packed with patients. The receptionist girls are very lovely, friendly, and nice. I didn't wait long to be called into the back. I could hear him next door with another patient. He is BUSY. When I saw him he didn't even have his assistant in the room until towards the end. You could tell he looked at her like "where were you", but I guess she was busy too.
Dr. Del Vecchio is how many described. He will not give you a warm fuzzy feeling and carries a bit of arrogance in his personality. He asked me quite a few questions about myself but remained mostly serious. He didn't ask me what I wanted out of the BBL, he told me what he could do. He said I don't have much fat and that I have some scar tissue from where I was previously lipo'd and that would make getting the fat out more difficult. He said he could probably harvest anywhere from 800-1200cc's at the most and said I won't get a huge booty but I will have noticeable results. He also said he could do a nice job expanding my hips which is what I wanted. Overall I just felt depressed about the visit because I wanted to feel more warmth from him but I will admit he was a LOT of confidence in his work. I told him I was worried about fat embolism and he said "you are in the right place", then went on to talk about his many medical publishings and teachings on the subject. For that, I felt relieved.
I received a quote higher than anyone else I've seen on here--they said it was due to my difficult donor spots (little fat and tough scar tissue) so that kind of blindsided me. I feel confident he could do a good job I just wish he were a little more friendly or something. He seems to know what he's doing so I still feel like he's the best one for the job.

GIRL I felt the same way!!!!! I wish he was as friendly and patient as the other consult I went to. I hate that he rushes so much. Did you go to Del Vecchio's NY or Boston location? are you going to go for more consults with others or choose him? Honestly what u described was also how I felt

Also, he told me he estimates about 1.5 hours for my procedure to be finished. That's not bad at all

Hey! So I went to his Boston location which by the pictures, is not as nice as the NYC location. I'm going to go with Del Vecchio. He was straight to the point and told me what he can and cannot deliver. I'm disappointed I don't have more viable fat, but what can you do? He said he would lipo flanks, back, arms and thighs, which I'm dreading. I was hoping he wouldn't touch my arms or my thighs because it just adds to the painful recovery process, but I guess he needs to get fat where he can find it. I'm choosing him because he's close to me, and I want to be ALIVE after this surgery. He is so confident about the safety of his surgeries that I believe him and feel less worried about it now. I have one more day to make my decision and then the price goes up $1000 (they are running a special that if you book surgery within 3 days you get $1000 discount). I'm 95% sure I'm going to do the surgery, still I am nervous about going under general anesthesia. I always dread the process. I don't know if their anesthesiologist gives you something to relax you before you go under, but it is something I need. Oh! Also, Dr. D said I'll need to get clearance from my doctor because I am on anti anxiety medication. So, if you are on any type of meds, he will pay attention to that closely. One other thing. In the Boston location, Dr. Del Vecchio does surgeries on one day and consults on a different day. He does not mix the two of them together in one day. They have their own operating team that comes in from St Elizabeth's hospital that they use. Surgery is done there on site, same place where his office is. The question is how the hell does one find parking???! It is damn near impossible. I had to park 3 blocks away in the parking garage and then walk to his office. That won't work on the day I have surgery. I am not a fan of the city, it is too crowded.

Wow hey girl thanks for the detailed update! Similarly to you I am also possibly considering the Boston location because my parents live there and maybe I can just crash and recover at their house for a few weeks after surgery lol. Whose taking u on the day of surgery? Do you have a date set in mind you want to do? Also damn it sounds like both NYC and Boston he is located right smack in the busy part of the city lol. I guess that's good and bad... Keep me updated! Xoxo

Yes, he is in the middle of everything. Right across from the big park and next to stores like Chanel, etc. I would love to be the first or second case of the day, that is what I am hoping for. I am looking to do this around Feb. My boyfriend will be taking me to surgery and taking care of me afterward. He is already pretty overwhelmed with this whole process and is against me doing the surgery, but I told him I'm doing it for me. I know he'll make a great caretaker whether he likes the surgery or not! I think I am gonna call Dr. D's office today and book a date...

Here’s another photo of me in leggings 6 years after my original bbl. I have lost some volume but the shape and fullness still remain. I am seriously considering round 2 with Dr. Del Vecchio. I have a consult with him next week.

I didn't answer your question about planning to get another round. The short answer is: as fast as I can save up the money!! I only got approved for 2k from Care Credit so that will barely help me with anything. So, I'm hoping to go in for surgery anywhere from Feb-Apr sometime. Hopefully February, but we'll see how good I am at saving $$$

Yeah Del Vecchio seems to be the one for me. He is hella expensive but he is a BBL pioneer and he teaches other surgeons how to do BBLs safely and stay subcutaneous. I'm hoping we click and he's not an arrogant, cold, personality as I have heard from some girls.
Yes, I was unhappy with my 2013 BBL for many different reasons. I DO think it's worth it, although I didn't at the time. I had an extremely HARD recovery. My circumstances were hellish and less than ideal, and I had an enormously painful time recovering. It just seemed to last forever and I was miserable and hurting. Some girls on here sail through their surgery and recovery--I think they must be aliens lol. I wish I had such luck! I'm hoping round 2 is much better for me. From what I've heard from others, round 2 seems to be less traumatic.

Regarding your results 6yr later, I think your butt looks amazing! I have a question about your stomach area. Did you notice any fat coming back? I am pretty good about keeping my weight once I've lost it, so I wanted to ask if you've managed to maintain your results or if you need your stomach area done again too. Thanks!
