Every insurance company is different when it comes to breast reduction coverage.  We are very used to working with insurance companies and know what type of information they require. At your consultation Dr. Stefanacci will examine you and explain to you your treatment options for breast reduction.  If she feels you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure and you would like us to proceed with the preauthorization process we will send all the required documentation to your insurance company. In most instances we will have an answer for you in 2-6 weeks.

Dr. Stefanacci is Board-certified in Plastic Surgery. She is a member of the American College of Surgeons, American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Read her entire bio here.

Dr. Stefanacci uses an inferior pedicle method, which minimizes nipple trauma and scarring.

According to the FDA there is no correlation between silicone breast implants and long-term medical conditions. For more information about this topic click here.

All breast implants have an exterior sac or shell made of silicone, a rubber-like substance. The implant is filled with one of two substances: silicone gel or saline. For more information on the differences between silicone and saline check our our breast page.

Often times Dr. Stefanacci can safely combine liposuction of the abdominal area to crate a more contoured figure.

Not all fat cells are removed with liposuction and the remaining cells can still store unused energy (fat) if the person eats more than they use.

The length of the scar will be determined by the amount of skin that is removed.  While scars will never completely disappear they will fade with time.  Most scars will take a full year to mature during which time they will sometimes become darker before they begin to fade.

A mommy makeover is performed using a unique combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to counteract the physical effects of childbearing, and restore and enhance your body. Most commonly it includes breast augmentation with or without a lift and a tummy tuck. For more information, check out our body page.

The best candidate for liposuction is someone who is at or near normal weight with localized areas of protruding fat. Liposuction is not a tool to be used for primary weight reduction.

Adults who are close to their ideal body weight but have excess skin and fullness in their abdominal area are the best candidates. A Tummy tuck may be a good option for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight after bariatric surgery or for women who have gone through pregnancy.

Our surgeries our performed using general anesthesia except for facelifts which use conscious sedation.

Your surgery will be performed at Renaissance Surgery Center adjacent to our office. This state-of-the-art surgery center is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).

The time a patient needs to take off from exercise depends on the operation performed.  All our patients are encouraged to start a slow walking routine around the house on the second postoperative day. Regular aerobic and vigorous activities are not allowed during the first 2 weeks in order to decrease the risk of bleeding, swelling, and bruising.  Weight lifting and high impact (running) activities are not allowed for at least 1 month in most cases.

The length of time it takes to recover from surgery varies depending on the procedure and the individual person. Most patients will require assistance for the first two days and then are able to care for themselves. Patients with young children may need help for a longer period of time. Here is a list of common times associated with some of our most popular procedure.

• Breast Surgery
  Usually can get around independently by the second day.
  May return to work at 5-7 days if not required to lift more than 10 pounds. 

• Liposuction
  Usually can get around independently by the second day. 
  Can return to work and normal activities in 5-7 days. 

• Abdominoplastly (Tummy Tuck)
  Patients may take 2-4 days before they are able to get around completely independently. 
  The recovery is almost identical to a C-section. 
  Patients can return to a desk job at 5-7 days, other jobs 10-14 days especially if any lifting is necessary. 

• Facelift
  Usually can get around independently by the second day. 
  Most patients do not feel comfortable going out in public for 5-7 days.
