Mommy makeover by Dr. Vendemia in New York

My first and only cosmetic surgery was with Dr. Vendemia in June. Immediately I was impressed with Karin and Dr. V’s professional yet personal approach. Both have been ultra responsive to my every question and concern, and my overall experience was as good as it gets! So incredibly happy with how my “Mommy Makeover” turned out, and have been referring MAS to all my friends. Dr. V does exceptional work, my healing was quick, and both my husband and I are thrilled with the results. I’m a fan!

Rhinoplasty for a bulbous tip

From the first visit, I knew that he was going to be the doctor. I went to my other consultations, but none of other surgeons I saw made me feel as confident as Dr. Vendemia did. He spoke to me honestly, and completed his project with grace and success.

I was always unhappy with my round bulbous nose and had it refined with Nicolas Vendemia. He offered the best and least invasive way to do it out of all doctors I had seen. And now, when I look in the mirror i realize just how insightful he is. I won’t have any visible scars either, just a small one on the bottom of the nose.

I definitely look more beautiful than before. I have nothing but great things to say about the doctor: not only does he TRULY care for his patients, but he is passionate and extremely knowledgable when it comes to him being a surgeon. I am very grateful to him and his personal assistant Karin who had never failed in making me feel beautiful and had put all the questions or fears I had at ease. My surgery was on July 7 and now it has been only about 3 months since my rhinoplasty, and to this very day, I have follow up appointments. I am very happy with the progress, he did an absolutely AMAZING job. I get so many compliments.

I didn’t feel any pain AT ALL after my surgery although it involved some work on the bone. I didn’t have much bruising at all either: only a little for 4 days. I was on realself website a lot after the surgery because i was paranoid about my nose all the time. Many women there had ridiculous amounts of bruising with the same surgery as mine, but Dr Vendemia is just so gentle.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my results. It’s exactly what I wanted. It’s even more incredible because others don’t even notice what it is exactly balancing out my proportion. The best part too, is that I feel like myself now.

 

Rapid Recovery breast augmentation by Dr. Nicholas Vendemia at MAS

I have wanted a breast augmentation since I was a teenager. I spent years going back and forth over the benefits and risks. I worried that I would look unprofessional, trashy or obviously fake. I researched doctors both in California and New York and decided to meet with Dr. V. first. Once I met him I knew right away that he was the right doctor for me. He’s patient, smart, kind, experienced and genuinely interested in listening and providing the best result possible. He spent lots of time with me to discuss my options while taking time to understand what I wanted. I am very particular and had many questions. He was thoughtful and honest each step of the way. He takes his work seriously and is a true artist.

The surgery was brief and surprisingly easy. I felt comfortable going into surgery, was cared for by the hospital crew and then sent home feeling just fine. I couldn’t believe that I felt so good. I have never had surgery before so I was nervous. The fact that I felt so good right after surgery was a shock. I was back at work after a couple of days because I was getting cabin fever. I felt fine to go back to work the next day but, of course, was told not to. It was difficult to remember that I had just had surgery.

Karin, Dr. V’s office manager, was so supportive through the process. Karin is absolutely delightful. She is courteous, thoughtful and responsive making the whole process very, very easy.

Week after week, I waited. I expected something to happen. I thought that at some point I would feel some pain. I never did. I’m sure that I drove Karin crazy because I sincerely couldn’t believe that the whole process could be so easy and pain free. At first it seemed like a blessing and then after several weeks I wondered if there was something wrong with me because I hadn’t felt any pain or discomfort throughout the recovery process. Months later, here I am all healed up from a completely pain free procedure and recovery.

I could not be happier with my result! My breasts look unbelievably natural despite being on the larger side (I opted for a fuller size). I fit all of my clothes better. I feel better in my new body and much more confident. My boyfriend can barely keep his hands off me. I wish I did it sooner. I can’t thank Dr. V enough!

Dream come true!

I held out for almost ten years to find the right doctor for breast implants.

I waivered back and forth for almost ten years on the issue of breast implants. At 51 years old and after having two children I felt like my breasts had been through a war and, as much as I am such a health conscious woman and always felt so fortunate to be breast cancer free, each day that I looked in the mirror I felt a loss. I had breasts once , and now I did not. It was like a grieving process for me even though my sexuality and sensuality were not even affected by my breasts. I started interviewing surgeons around five years ago and never felt right , never felt a connection. I held out for the right surgeon because I always follow my gut, it’s your first ‘brain’ in my book. Upon meeting Dr. Vendemia, I felt a warm and concerned connection. He made eye contact with me in a powerful way and not once did I feel rushed, over-concerned, or that I was asking too many questions. The doctor not only listened to all my concerns but he even told me the reasons why I would not be a good candidate for surgery (for example : if I was 100 percent sure that my nipples were major to my sexuality, then there could possibly be loss of sensation) something I may not want to give up- he also advised that sometimes sensitivity is increased. He was never pushy and more so than just a surgeon he is truly an artist. I went through all the ups and downs of recovery – and even though it is only 3 and 1/2 days after my procedure, I am pain free since day 1. I have experienced the advised ‘soreness’ and ‘tightness’ and also emotionally doubting myself etc. Dr. Vendemia employs an angel named Karin who will answer your call/text/email almost immediately. I felt so good that I actually commuted to work on day 3 and then realized that emotionally I rushed it – Karin insisted to speak with me to discuss what was happening and resolved it all for me. I am giving myself my needed recovery period on the couch and she understands all our ‘woman’ concerns and feelings. The price you pay for your surgery is not just for surgery – it’s a package deal: amazing pre-op staff (anesthesia, nurses, etc) – wonderful surgery with amazing results – constant 24/7 medical/emotional contact and daily follow up/ medical advice regarding going forward with choices of bra companies to preserve the work of art and even a follow up from the wonderful surgery center. What more could I have asked for? I am so happy I waited and did all my research and found Dr. Vendemia. I even had an issue with going right back into my routine being superwoman and Karin was wonderful with all her advice . She’s said I don’t have to prove anything to anyone – I am allowed to rest and recover – she helped me so much and continues to text me and email me day and night. My recommendation is this: if you want to have your breasts enhanced for yourself and you want to have the best overall experience … Consult with Dr. Vendemia. He is a true caring professional who I will recommend to friends and family – and may start another procedure soon! Thank you Karin and thank you Dr. Vendemia and your hands of gold

I chose my doctor based on his “rapid recovery breast augmentation” procedure…

Hey guys!! So, I actually chose my doctor based on his “rapid recovery breast augmentation” procedure and he has such a great attitude but also was serious about the fact that he will say no to the procedure if I am not the right candidate etc. So it took me about 4 months from when I first went in to my consultation to actually finally booking, and even then I called them a week out and tried to cancel almost fully giving up my payment because I was so so scared. I was worried I would hate it, that people would judge me or that I wouldn’t feel like my normal self ever again. I stayed up nights obsessing, I read like a zillion of these posts online, would wake up and say “YES this is what I want” and go to sleep crying that I might be making a terrible decision and risking my health. Both of those might be true, but after finally biting the bullet, sucking up the courage and popping a xanax I managed to get to the surgery center and out, and can you believe it, piece of cake! I tell you all of this because maybe there is someone out there like me who needs a little reassurance. This is a completely elective decision, so you need to be cool with electing to change your body. I did, and I’m actually really happy so far! It’s been something I’ve thought about for years and as I got older and finally had the money to do so, I figure WTF not! Anyway, that’s my rant. It does hurt, you need to give yourself AT LEAST 2 weeks before even looking at your boob results, most of the time even more leeway but I did RR procedure so I should have a good idea on the final product a month in. So, not everyone is the same or will have the same experience. I paid a LOT of money and did a lot of research since I believe you really get what you pay for and I don’t want to play around with my body if I can avoid it. I’m guessing you all feel the same way!
