Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery

The best in the Business!

Believe it or not, I had breast implant surgery in 1979 (yes, that's right, 1979!) by a plastic surgeon in Tampa. The silicone implants were inserted through an armpit incision. I was pleased with the results in the beginning. Unfortunately, as time marched on, my implants became firmer and painful, and the outline of the implant was actually visible. After consulting with various cosmetic surgeons in different states as the years went by, I kept hesitating to have replacement done since every doctor's medical approach differed. Luckily, I consulted with Dr. Benedetti and scheduled surgery earlier this year. I found myself fretting and worrying about the surgical outcome, and ultimately cancelled my surgery. The office staff was very accommodating and non-judgmental about my decision; they said that I should feel comfortable about having the surgery done and to let them know if and when I decided to have it done. My age (late 70's) was also of concern to me, undergoing any type of surgery. After much thought and a few months later, I rescheduled and had the surgery. The old implants were very sad looking (one was ruptured) upon removal, and the scar tissue (much had actually calcified) amount was rather frightening (at least to me). I had the surgery on a Monday, and went back for my first post-operative appointment on Thursday. I felt like a million dollars. Out of pain after so many years, and I even had cleavage (which was missing on my first procedure), my breasts were soft and matched in size. I couldn't stop smiling! I'm closing in on a month post-operatively and can't wait to get back to my exercise routine. I feel like a retired racehorse turned out to pasture! Can't wait to start running around again, pain-free! In my particular case, Dr. Benedetti performed an outstanding, life-changing surgery and I couldn't be happier with his skill. I had asked for my operative report for my records. One item that I noticed was the term "operative time-out." I wasn't familiar with that, so I looked it up on the internet. Operative time-out is a surgical step recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) that covers a short "meeting of the minds" prior to surgery beginning that includes EVERY member of the medical team is aware of the patient's status, what procedure is being performed, and things of that nature. It is a comforting thought when YOU are the patient. Whatever cosmetic surgery you are considering, in my opinion, you couldn't do better than Dr. Benedetti.
