I had the Bella Body Lift and Lipo of my thighs and knees on May 12, 2011. My recovery experience was very painful, but well worth it. Dr. Chiaramonte and his staff were excellent from start to finish. The front desk staff greets you by name and make you feel very comfortable. After surgery I was given Nurse Kim's business card to call her 24 hours a day if I had any concerns sometimes you would reach voicemail and Dr. C would call you right away. I had to be off work for 6 weeks and still get a little stiff if I sit or walk too long due to my thighs, but my scar from the tummy tuck is excellent, I use Vitamin E and Mederma scar scream on the dark incision line which is really only noticeable on the ends of the incision. I love how he contoured my torso. My thighs are still very swollen after 8 weeks they are coming along great but slowly. My waist line went down to a size 28 after 5 weeks and Dr. Chiaramonte said I will not see my full results for at least 3-6 months so I can only imagine. I refer him to everyone. My only suggestions is that they need to pass out business cards to patients to pass along. I can't wait to get my breast lift in March 2012...
