My Breast Implant Surgery With Dr. Del Vecchio

Surgery Day

I was talking to my friend today. She just got her implants on Thursday. I started remembering about the day of my surgery. I wasn't nervous at all. I got up in the morning took a shower and headed over to the hospital. I went in a room and changed and the next thing I knew I was being called into another room. I walked down the hall. I was surprisingly calm. I think I was almost in shock I had been waiting for this for so long. I went into the room and the nurse came in and checked all my vitals and I talked to the anesthesiologist. Everyone was super nice. They made me feel very calm and not nervous at all. Then my doctor came in and took some pictures and made some marks. Next thing I knew they gave me a cocktail and I was being pushed down the hall. I don't really remember much. The last thing I remember was lying on the table and there being a bunch of people in the room. Then voila 29 minutes later I was a new woman. It was the best spent 29 minutes of my life.

I guess I slept for a long time after the surgery was over. The nurse asked my husband if I was a good sleeper and he was like you have no idea. I eventually woke up. I didn't feel too bad at all. The nurse got me up and gave me a muffin and some ginger ale. I was like this is too easy. Then I had to stand up and that was a whole different story. I had to put my clothes on and go to the restroom. I started feeling really nauseous. But I think it was from the percocet. I sat back down and after about 10 minutes I was fine. They wheeled me out and put me in my car. I was very surprised about how alert I was. I remember the whole car ride home called my friends and family. I thought I was going to be like a zombie. I was very pleased how well and easy everything turned out.

My friend said the same thing. She was glad that I wasn't lying to her when I told her about my experience. Like I said before I would do it all over again in a second. If you are nervous about the actual surgery don't be. It will definitely be worth it in the end =)

Everything Happens for a Reason

I went to a couple of different doctors before I found what I thought to be the right one. I had gone to a couple of consultations about a year and a half before I decided to actually go through with the surgery. When I made up my mind I went back to my favorite doctor and I didn't look anymore. I booked the surgery when I went to my second consultation and put down a deposit. I then booked my date. My surgery was scheduled for 2 months later.
Everyone kept asking me if I was nervous. I told them I wasn't nervous about the surgery I was nervous about the results. I was so nervous that the Friday before my surgery ( my surgery was the next Thursday) I went back for another sizing and I brought in a picture of what I ultimately wanted my new breasts to look like.

I handed the picture to the doctor and he said "these look fake" and I said "well yea they are." He basically refused to do the surgery and told me he would refund me all my money back and he wasn't the surgeon for me.

I was devastated. I had taken time off work and I was totally ready for my surgery. I went online and came across Dr. Del Vecchio. I loved what I saw online. I called Monday morning. I explained to them what happened on Friday and they got me in on Tuesday for a consultation. I was very pleased with him and he had a cancellation for that Thursday (my original date). I was so excited. I was not nervous at all. I knew right away that he was the right doctor for me.

I definitely believe that everything happens for a reason. My original doctor was going to put 320cc and my doctor put about 450cc. He explained to me how the sizing works (he was actually the first doctor to break it down for me) I felt very comfortable. I just knew right away that I had found the right doctor and I couldn't be any happier with the results. If the other doctor would of only put 320cc that would of been a waste of time and money.
