Thigh and Arm Reduction
I am writing today to share my experiences about the extraordinary care I received from Dr. Mauro Romita and his staff. He is master surgeon and I am completely satisfied with my results! Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Romita to any of my friends or family members. From the moment I entered his office, my experience with Dr. Romita was excellent. He listened to my concerns and validated them. My surgery was in August, 2016. I was physically and emotionally uncomfortable with the skin hanging from my arms and thighs after a dramatic weight loss of 40 pounds. (This weight loss was achieved through diet and exercise not bariatric surgery.) Having done research prior to my first visit with Dr. Romita, I was not convinced that an arm and thigh “lift” would fix my problem. Dr. Romita explained this option thoroughly as well as informing me of another option: arm and thigh “reduction” surgery, where skin is removed from the surgical sites. I chose the arm and thigh reduction and my results are fantastic! When I saw my before and after photos I couldn’t believe I looked that good! My arms and thighs are tighter than they have ever been and they are shaped so beautifully that they look like the arms and thighs of a much younger woman. I am 56 years old and my arms and thighs should be in the Metropolitan Museum of Art!
The thigh reduction surgery was a bit more involved than a typical thigh lift, but it was totally worth having. Wound care is needed for a few weeks after the surgery, but I would do it all over again because the results are so dramatic. For most of my life I have hated my thighs (having had liposuction that yielded little results), now I flaunt them in tight jeans, tights and skirts that are shorter than I’ve ever worn. Also, I am now rockin’ sleeveless tops and spaghetti straps because the skin on my upper arms is so tight and lovely rather than hanging and sagging. I enjoy looking at myself in the mirror again, and for that I am forever grateful. Dr. Romita changed my life!
After the surgery, I stayed at a lovely nearby rehab center for two days. Dr. Romita visited me every day. He made sure all was done to ensure my comfort and full recovery. His technique and bedside manner were first class. From my initial office visit, through the surgery and follow up care, Dr. Romita has been a caring presence. I felt comfortable and respected from start to finish. He took time to address all of my questions, concerns and options. He explained everything thoroughly: the procedures, the healing process and my results are amazing!
I felt safe and in good hands with Dr. Romita and his team. Kate, Kim and Norma are so caring and always available to answer any questions. They are a true pleasure to work with. They could not have been more pleasant and accommodating to my needs. Dr. Romita is an extraordinary, skilled surgeon. His resume speaks for itself and I can give testimony to his abilities. He is a skilled surgeon whose reputation is well known. He also has a wonderful sense of humor, is straightforward and compassionate. I cannot give Dr. Romita and his entire staff a higher recommendation. I am healing beautifully and quickly and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best! He is an incredible physician, a gifted plastic surgeon and an incredible human being. My only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner!
As for me, one more procedure is on the horizon. I am having Dr. Romita perform my breast augmentation in early 2018. I have no doubt that I will be in the care of a master surgeon and an expert surgical team who represent the highest standards of professionalism, compassion and humor!
