Breast Augmentation-Liposuction

I'm almost 2 weeks out from my breast implant replacement and lipo procedure with Dr. Vitenas. WOW!!! I had some pretty high expectations for the results of both surgeries... and all were met, and most exceeded by quite a bit. For example: 1. At his recommendation, both the size and material used in the implant exchange were changed. The difference is amazing. Not only do they look completely natural and feel very soft, pliable and bouncy, thanks to the "body artist" he really is, Dr. Vitenas selected the perfect size and shape so my bust is nicely and noticably feminine, but exactly proportional for my height and weight. Of course I expectd them to look good, but frankly, they are eye-poppers. I'd say 15 on a scale of 10. Way better than the work the original doctor did - the first doc actually attached the bags to my muscle tissue so every time I moved my upper "pec" muscles, the breasts jumped. (A sure sign of a boob job and poor surgical technique) I always hated that. No more, though. Too bad I can't show you! Lots of surgeons claim to produce "natural" results. Few do. He for sure did. 2. The lipo work Dr. Vitenas did was actually even more stunning. Although I only needed a relatively small amount of fat removed (mostly targeting the abdominal "muffin top" and upper thighs) he explained the better 'contouring' option to create a slenderizing, proportional and more asthetic balance between the whole thigh (even the little fat pad in the knees - who knew!) as it joins the hips and finally curving into the abdomen and rear. He was right - the gals I know who've had just the front belly done end up with buldges and pockets of fat elsewehere that become disproportional and end up ruining the effect of a flatter tummy. During the very comfortable and fun consultation, Dr. Vitenas seemed pretty relentless in noticing the areas he wanted to work on, starting with the little puffiness just below my xiphoid bone. Mind you I was already a size 8! I didn't think I needed much focus on the lower thigh either, for example, and certainly not the darn knees, for heaven's sake. However, with a true creative artistic gift he has to work with skin and tissue, he truly did 'contour' and shape me from the knees right on up to my rib cage (you should see my waist line. Oooo-eeee. I dropped 2" all the way from waist to thighs immediately (with a little more shrinkage to come in time, I'm told) but the better part was how much better it looked than I expected. My thighs are actually way more smooth (no cellulite dimples) than they were before the procedure. Plus, as with the breast shape and size, I can say his smooth, proportional, gradual shaping and sculpting from my waist to knees is better than "mother nature" did originally. And as I said, I had what I thought was a pretty good body for a 50 year old (I still wear 2-piece bathing suits and get looks.) but this is better, and has WAY exceeded my expectations. I would unhesitatinigly recommend him for anyone who wanted exceptional results the very best plastic surgeon. (Plus he's really nice, easy to talk to, and his staff are amazing - so kind and helpful. You'd be friends with them if you met them somewhere else.) Thank you Dr. Vitenas!   JN
