I am a 12 year breast cancer survivor. I went to Dr Palaia to have my second set of implants replaced. I don’t have a good track record, having already had reconstructive surgery after a bilateral mastectomy, followed by total implant replacement in 2010 — neither of which were performed by Dr Palaia. I believe I presented as quite a challenge given the state of my current implants, the thin skin and the fact that I’ve had multiple surgeries. I LOVE the way I look since my surgery and much more importantly, for the first time in 12 years — I no longer feel the tightness and discomfort that I had learned to live with since my original surgery. In my first consultation with Dr Palaia what I really appreciated was his honesty. He told me that he couldn’t make any promises as to whether the surgery would or wouldn’t relieve my discomfort. He told me exactly what he was going to do(which is leading edge reconstructive surgery). Things have really changed/improved in the 12 years since my original surgery and Dr Palaia is an outstanding plastic surgeon who is highly skilled in these new procedures. Once I was back at home after surgery I needed to speak to Dr Palaia. He returned my husband’s phone call very quickly. We were both impressed. His office staff complement his style — very kind and professional. If you are considering this type of surgery I highly recommend Dr Palaia. He’s the best.
