Ah, where do I start? After losing over 150 lbs and maintaining that loss my breasts lacked volume…read moreand any sort of shape. I put my trust in her to reconstruct my breasts knowing that the outcome is never guaranteed. I could not be more thankful that I chose such a talented, warm and kind surgeon. I'm just shy of 2 months post op and I'm blown away by her work. From the second I met her I knew I made the right choice. Dr Amalfi walks into the room and you feel as though you're already friends and she truly cares about you. I will forever be grateful and I plan to see her for all future work. Shout out to Melissa as well for always answering all of my emails leading up to surgery. Thank you so much!!

I've waited a long time to post this, in fact, tomorrow is my one year post op appt, and I wanted…read moreto give anyone out there looking a for a surgeon the full scoop. I remember how nervous I was to even speak to someone about such a personal journey, let alone show them. Have you ever just gone to your bestie's, swung the door open, plopped down on the couch in your sweats and messy bun, and gossiped while watching the Kardashians? That's what it felt like to be around Dr. Amalfi. Her vibe is that of instant comfort, like I wasn't sharing my deepest insecurities. My consult was filled with laughter and getting to know each other while I tested out sizes/discussed how my most cherished tiny humans destroyed my body along with my self esteem. After having children and working so hard to get my body back, I barely could look at myself naked, and here I was, totally comfortable in front of her; no cares about my truffle shuffle at all! Her staff was incredible, I never felt rushed, not once. The day of, the nurses were the same; I was comfortable and cracking jokes, they calmed my nerves and I knew I was in good hands. Now, the nitty gritty; does the post-op recovery suck? Yes, yes it does. I am always on the go and terrible at resting. But I was prepared; I knew exactly what to expect, and my pain control was so well thought out and I felt like my needs were always met. Now, I have had many surgeries in my life due to a medical condition, so I know my way around a recovery. This was the first time I've had the choice, the others were non-optional. Comparing the two, I have never been more prepared, had such a comprehensive pain management and recovery plan, and had this level of enthusiastic support. If you're still reading, I know you want to know about the mommy makeover results. Giirrllllll, that was the one thing I was not adequately prepared for! I made sure I had realistic expectations, especially given my weird 2nd cousin twice removed pair of melons I handed her. My husband will confirm that upon seeing them for the first time, I looked at them, looked at him, and screamed "OMG YOU SEE THESE BOOBIES?!". And my stomach was flat, I was in awe. But she listened, my natural shape was still there. I had this fear of looking fake, when I just wanted to be me. Well, she delivered. What I wasn't expecting was what the months to come would bring. As my body healed and everything settled, my confidence came back. Stronger than it was before by a ten fold. I wasn't ready for this to make me love myself in a way I hadn't before. I mean, I was washing my face twice a day and putting lotion on my skin. What I mean is, I WANTED to care for myself in a way I hadn't before. I even carried myself differently. Even though no one could tell I had anything done, because I was real good at tucking my tummy into my mom jeans, I WAS DIFFERENT. I felt stronger. I was taking more chances in life, I finally had the confidence to. I had no idea that I'd find myself in all of this! I still looked like me, it was as natural as I wanted the results to look, more than I could've imagined, and I was finally acting more like myself than I had in years. It sounds cliche, but this 100% changed my life! Being finally happy in my own skin and erasing all the space in my brain of negative self talk, left room for me to grow and step into my own. Even further, I had gone for 2 years to pelvic floor therapy to help with my abdominal muscle separation and had that corrected along with my makeover. I went from living at my chiropractor's office due to incredible lower back pain to none. I didn't know that tightening that muscle would relieve my chronic back pain, but here we are! At first, I was quiet about what I had done, I wanted to keep it a secret. But now, I am so proud of what it has helped me do, so far beyond a makeover, that I want to empower any woman out there to put herself first! And also, to get used to giggling every time to catch yourself naked in the mirror, because it's going to be THAT GOOD! Thank you Dr. Amalfi for helping me find ME again!

I've read about it online and have heard many pros and cons about the surgery itself. I knew that if I had wanted to get it done, it had to be the best of the best to do it. Dr. Quatela is AMAZING! My sister's friend went to him before I did and said he was incredible, so I decided to check him out! The building itself is amazing and beautiful, and as soon as you walk in, you feel welcomed by the friendly staff. Like I said I was super nervous, did not know what to expect , if anything would go wrong during surgery etc. My mind was immediately put at ease, getting to know that Dr. Quatela was highly experienced in facial procedures (as well as others) and anything that could go wrong was slim to none. I was reassured he was highly rated, and took great pride in his work. If you decide to get ANY procedure done, I HIGHLY suggest you go only to Dr. Quatela!! Not only is he amazing at what he does, but he's real nice, caring and super friendly, just like the staff! You will be beyond pleased with your results! (:
