Reviews of Jeremy A. Benedetti, MD, FACS (Plastic Surgery)

Leigh Ann Haga

I have been waiting for 21 years to have Breast Augmentation Surgery. In January 2012 I decided that I was going to finally have this procedure done, however I knew the many risks involved. I am a petite, athletic woman with a lot of muscle tone. I was a gymnast and had almost no breasts. This was very emotional for me. Not only did I have to find a surgeon that would take good care of me physically, they had to take care of me emotionally as well. It was a 21 year battle of not feeling like a female in my own body. I found Dr. Benedetti through a referral system on the internet and had my first consultation with him. His staff was amazing, you walk in and feel like you are at home. Everyone from the first person that you meet to the nurses to Dr. Benedetti are all so knowledgable and answer all of your questions and concerns. Meeting Dr. Benedetti for the first time, I felt immediately at ease. He wanted what was best for me. He explained even the smallest details to me and gave me his own personal recommendations. He took a long time listening to my past history and my fears and concerns. He listened, he cared. I left after my first appointment putting my deposit down as I knew that this was MY surgeon. I had found the best. The day of the surgery was amazing. Dr. Benedetti and all of his staff again were so caring, supportive and calming. All of the follow up visits, amazing personal attention. You are made to feel like you are his ONLY patient. You are the only one that matters when you are in front of him. Dr. Benedetti and his staff took a 21 year dream and turned it into reality for me. I went in as a size "A" cup, I THOUGHT I wanted a large B. After my fitting, he recommended a full C and I went for it. I am 9 weeks out from my surgery. I look and feel amazing! I wanted to look natural, and that is exactly how I look. I am in upper management, and expressed that I didnt want the "Pam Anderson" look. I actually look so natural some people ask me "Something is different about you, what did you change?". Gentle, precise, caring, thorough, professional, top of the field. These are only a few words that I can give to Dr. Benedetti and his team. I finally feel like I am a Lady. Tears come to my eyes when I think of how this has changed my outlook on myself and the caring precise attention that I received from this office. I found the best of the best. They have made me complete. Thank you Dr. Benedetti and staff, you have changed my life and put a smile on my face and joy in my heart. You gave me perfection, YOU ARE PERFECTION! See you at my next follow up appointment!

Dr. Benedetti was the fourth and final Doctor I interviewed for a breast augmentation and hernia repair. It was clear from speaking with him that he had the most knowledge and strongest conviction in what he recommended for me. I am extremely happy with the results 4 weeks out, and have gotten so many compliments! Dr. Benedetti, his staff, and nurses, all do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome and comfortable. Even the nurses at the surgery center had great bedside manner and made me feel at ease. He also uses a board certified Anesthesiologist (Physician) , which made me feel even more comfortable. I will refer anyone looking for a plastic surgeon to Dr. Benedetti because I know, without a doubt they will be more than happy with the entire experience from start to finish!

Absolutely the best! Personable, honest, and confidently highly skilled!

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.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Benedetti and his staff, Heather and Rose. I had breast augmentation surgery to regain lost volume from 2 pregnancies. Dr. Benedetti listened to my needs and gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. Prior to my consultation with Dr. Benedetti, I had consultations with 2 very popular plastic surgeons in South Tampa. Although I feel that both of those surgeons were well certified, I left each consultation not feeling, for one reason or the other, that the surgeon was the right fit for me. I then had a consultation with Dr. Benedetti and immediately scheduled my surgery. Dr. Benedetti, Heather, and Rose are very knowledgeable and personable. During my consultation, and every appointment after, Dr. Benedetti has treated me like I am his only patient. He is always on time with appointments, and he spends the time necessary to answer all of my questions - never once have I felt rushed, I have always felt like a priority. During my pre-op appointment, Dr. Benedetti looked over several pictures that I brought in to show my vision, and he delivered exactly what I wanted. I have raved about my procedure and my experience to every one I know - I could not be happier.

My expereince with Dr Benedetti and his staff has been excellent. Dr Benedetti's staff made me feel comfortable from my initial contact on the phone to meeting meeting with his RN Christy, then finally with Dr Benedetti. Once I met with Dr Benedetti it became apparent to me as a Registered Nurse that he has a very high skill set and demands nothing but perfection; definatly attributes you would like to find in a plastic surgeon! I coudn't be happier with my results. Dr Benedetti and his RN Christy helped guide me in the right direction for the look I wanted to achieve and I got it! My recovery downtime was minimal and I actually had more bruising from my IV access than from my actual surgery. Don't hesitate to call, once you meet him you will know he is the right choice!

I had a breast reduction with Dr. Benedetti. He has all the attributes and more needed in a skilled surgeon. He is confident, personable and extraordinary with his skills and expertise. He is the right choice.

Words cannot express how happy I have been with Dr. Benedetti & his staff! After having five consultations from different surgeons, I chose Dr. Benedetti for my abdominoplasty. I have had two c-sections and being 28 years old, I wanted my body back. As much as I worked out and dieted, there was always a tummy that would just hang. Dr. Benedetti performed a full abdominoplasty and liposuction and I couldn't be happier. He did exactly what he said he was going to do and gave me the stomach I always dreamed of. His staff, Christy & Debie are just as amazing as he is. The girls are always there to answer questions and make sure that recovery was as painless as possible. I'm so thankful that these fantastic people have come into my life.

I could not of pick a better doctor! I am extremely satisfied with my results. I underwent breast augmentation on July 10th of 2013 with Dr. Benedetti and really wish I had done this a lot sooner! I recently lost weight due to a mandatory change to eliminate gluten from my diet. I started to noticed that my breast fullness was not like it once was. I had always wanted to improve my self image, not have to worry about wearing a bra, or worrying if I lost weight if it would decrease my breast size. I personally knew two people who had gone to Dr. Benedetti for breast augmentations and they had nothing but good to say about him. I did go on 2 consultations with plastic surgeons. The 1st Dr. I went to felt like a chop shop. Dr. Benedetti was my 2nd consultation. He made my boyfriend and I feel very comfortable by explaining how what kind of implant he felt I needed, how big my incision would be, and any other questions we both had. I felt so comfortable I scheduled my surgery the very next day! My next appointment with Dr. Benedetti was my sizing appointment. He told me to bring in pictures and had me try on the sizers. This is where I really felt like Dr. Benedetti listened a lot. I showed him a few pictures of what I did not want and what I did want. 2 days before my surgery I went through a little bit of a panic because I was afraid I was going to be too big or too small. This was most likely caused by my searching online of what cc's he had told me, this didn't help! I called Debbie and I expressed my concern to her. She gave me the option to come in and try on the sizers again or I could send over more pictures to Dr. Benedetti. She assured me that I was in great hands and that he would bring a few different sizes to decide which size best fit my body. Thanks to Debbie! She's great! Come surgery day I was so excited! The hospital staff was so nice! Dr. Benedetti came in and started drawing his incisions lines and discussed sizing one more time. He looked at the pictures that I brought with me and discussed them with my boyfriend and I again making us feel 100% comfortable. I told him to do what he felt looked the best to achieve my goal and what fit my body. After my surgery I was not in much pain at all! I went home and rested. I was back to showing homes (work-real estate) 2 day after surgery with hardly any pain and no pain medication! From my research I expected to be very swollen and to have them up to my collar bone. This was not the case either. I had hardly any swelling absolutely no bruising, and the tiniest incisions. I have been back for follow up appointments and love my results! Dr. Benedetti's office staff is amazing as well. The nurse Christie would even take my call right away if I had questions. Dr. Benedetti did an amazing job! He truly listened and got the sizing just right! I am so glad I chose the right Dr.!

I had an Abdominoplasty performed on July 17, 2013 by Dr Benedetti. I couldn't be happier with the results so far. My situation was a little different than most as I had several surgical scars on my abdomen including the dreaded gallbladder incision. I sought the opinion of 7 plastic surgeons including Dr B. Dr B was the only one to come up with a solution to my situation. The rest told me it could not be done. After my surgery I now have only 2" remaining of my 8" gallbladder scar and it's location is low enough that if I chose I could wear a bikini again with no scar in sight. Dr B could have taken the easy route, as the rest of my consults did, but chose instead to come up with a solution that would make me HAPPY! And I am very happy. Thank you Dr B for giving me my self confidence back. I would highly recommend Dr Benedetti for any plastic surgery you are contemplating! He is the best in so many ways!

Ruined my daughters breast. Scars were horrible. Can't fix such a mess. Worst plastic surgeon ever.

Let me say- great guy. Very friendly -great bedside manner. That deserves a star. It stops there. The other 4 stars represent results - and the results are zero. I had a gyno surgery twice - same surgeon. Both botched. First was botched by over secting on both sides of chest. Too much was taken out. I'm left with crater deformity which is rare when you perform this surgery. All fat -literally all fat was taken out on left side and too much on the right. See my photos I posted. 2012 I had the surgery and in 2014 I had revision surgery which did nothing and may have made it worse. Now I need to go to a gyno specialist. And pay $5,000-8,000 more to fix it, which may take 2-3 MORE procedures. You get one shot to do this surgery correct and it was botched. No matter what I do in gym - I have a huge craters in both sides of my chest. It's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting, I should have researched this better. Plastic surgeons must specialize in a specific part of body to be taken serious. The ones who do every part of body just don't qualify for all procedures. It's impossible. I should have seen a gyno specialist. Awful results. Mixed with a ton of fluff talk. I'm furious. And I feel gross. I'll travel to NYC in fall to have the fixed by a gyno specialist. 1 star for being nice only.

Words cannot express how grateful I am that I found Dr. Benedetti. He is absolutely amazing! Very informative, takes his time, and truly cares about his patients. His whole staff is very friendly and goes above and beyond. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dr. Beneditti is amazing in like, every way possible. When I saw him for the 1st time I just knew. Coincidentally I have 2 past Coworkers from 2 different jobs that had their BA by him. I'm sure everyone has done the same as me research wise and have seen thousands of before and afters, everytime I see a pic and post about the person feeling unlucky to have a double bubble or googly nipples I feel so bad for them that they didn't get the great care and attention to detail that I got. I told my hubby the other day I think Im having a bit of boob greed but as soon as it came out of my mouth I thought, no, I had (and still have because he follows you yearly for the rest of your life at no additional cost) the best Dr. He told me he tried a bigger size but what I got looked the best. Im almost a month postop and I could not be happier with all if my choices. The office staff is great the surgery center was amazing. If i had to do over I'd keep everything the same. He was the only doctor i saw that charged a consult fee but it does come off the cost of surgery and I can totally understand why he charges it. I think it says a lot though, like hes serious about your wants and if you are serious about your wants you won't mind the consult fee (That's my opinion). He is super nice great bedside manners and I can't say enough good stuff about him. *Note: nobody told me how rough the 1st 2-3 days were going to be. I strongly recommend asking someone you can trust to stay with you for the weeknd. Idk why i thought this but i honestly thought I was going to be able to be dropped off at home after surgery. Lol I'm not a sissy when it comes to pain either.

Dr. Benedetti is not only an amazing person, he's also an amazing surgeon. When I first met him his bedside manner was impeccable. I could not have found a better doctor. I met him at a meet and greet at his office at St. Anthony's hospital Carillon Center. Any questions my husband and I asked he answered and made me feel at ease. I had breast augmentation about 12 weeks ago and I am extremely pleased with my progress. I love them!! A year before my surgery I made a lifestyle change by becoming active and eating healthy. So, I went from a 34C to barely fitting into an "A" cup. Dr. Benedetti didn't have a whole lot to work with but as miracle has it, I am now a small "D" (475 cc). My post-op appointments have also went very well. Dr. Benedetti has been very strict with what workouts I can and cannot do after 6 weeks and for that I am thankful because I wouldn't want anything to go wrong. His staff has been amazing as well. If anyone is looking for a fantastic surgeon I would highly recommend Dr. Benedetti and his staff for an amazing outcome. Thank you

Amazing experience. Dr. Benedetti and his staff are knowledgeable and courteous. I completely recommend him to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery or spa procedures.

I had saline implants since 2001, one had ruptured (a slow leak) in a car accident. After meeting with several area surgeons I decided on Dr. Benedetti. The office/staff are all great, I was very comfortable through the entire process. My situation was slightly difficult as my first implants were put in through my armpits and this left a gap on the side of each breast, causing the implants to slide to the sides when I laid on my back. I also had tuberous breasts to begin with, not to mention this was my second surgery. I decided to go with silicone gel implants with the incision in the crease under the breast. Dr. Benedetti explained thoroughly what the process would be and I knew exactly what to expect going into surgery. My procedure took slightly longer because he had to sew the interior pockets closed and do the revision. They turned out great, they look better than the first go round even before the leak, they're soft and sit perfectly, with a very natural look to them. Recovery was a breeze. I would definitely recommend Dr. Benedetti and his staff to anyone. Very professional and gorgeous results.

I had breast augmentation a year ago by Benedetti and I am so happy with the results! Before getting them done, I did a lot of research and had consultations with many doctors, where I concluded with Benedetti. We decided to go with 475cc (small D) gummy bear silicone which is a perfect size that would be proportionate with my body. I was very nervous with how they would turn out since a girl I worked with got her's done a few months before mine and her's turned out pretty bad cause she had horrible spacing. I let him know that was a huge concern with me since I didn't want them looking overly fake. And my oh my did my boobs turn out AMAZING! It's been a year and they still look perfect! There is hardly any spacing and they look and feel so natural. I always get complements on them even by strangers! They just look like I was born with naturally beautiful boobs. As for the surgeon, Benedetti is super nice and very comfortable to be around. He is located in a very nice professional office with him being very professional himself. His office staff are very friendly as well. They are good with following up every few months to make sure everything is still going well after the surgery. I highly recommend! I used to work at a Hooters and the girls would tell me out of every girl's boobs (real or enhanced) mine are the best! I couldn't be more happy going through with this and this is something I will never regret! =D
