I recently had a breast reduction and brachioplasty performed by Dr. Michael Loffredo of Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery at Cape Cod Hospital. I cannot say enough about the positive experience I had from start to finish with both the practice and the hospital.
Dr. Loffredo was not the only doctor with whom I consulted, but he was definitely the best, so the decision to go “all the way down” to Plymouth, MA (for doctor appointments) and Hyannis on The Cape (for the hospital) from the North Shore wasn’t difficult at all. My health was too important to let a few extra miles or a longer drive time get in the way of great care.
The first thing you will see upon meeting Dr. Loffredo is his amazing bedside manner and that caring nature is evident in the office staff he works with. On my first appointment, he took a very long time to explain the breast reduction procedure to me. He took measurements and copious notes about symptoms I was experiencing in order to present a case for coverage to my insurance company. Three weeks after my initial visit, and without any work on my part, I was approved by my insurance company. In addition, because I was going to be under anesthesia anyway, I inquired about having brachioplasty and decided to get it.
Today, I am ten days post-op. Not only do I look fantastic, but I feel wonderful. Upon waking up from anesthesia, the range of motion in my neck had already improved. I am not a petite person, so I was very worried about my breasts ending up too small for the rest of my body. Dr. Loffredo completely understood my fear of being out of proportion and assured me that he would make me “look right”. To say he achieved this goal is an understatement. I am still amazed (and a bit giddy) at how great my breasts look. My arms look fantastic, as well!
In conclusion, if you are considering cosmetic surgery, whether it be medically necessary or mentally necessary, you owe it to yourself to consult with Dr. Loffredo at Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery. You will be so glad you did!
