I have never wrote a bad review on anything, simply because it doesn’t get you anywhere. However, I am writing this to warn people not to go to Dr Benedetti. I had breast surgery preformed by Dr Benedetti several years ago and was left severely scared. Not to mention I have uneven breasts now. I went in for a consultation to the doctor to have my original implants replaced. Dr Benedetti suggested that I need a breast lift also. I trusted him so I paid the extra $ 8000 for the lift. I woke from my surgery and was informed of a mishap during the procedure. Apparently one of the surgical instruments malfunctioned and burnt a hole in the middle of my chest. I really didn’t think it was a big deal, as I’ve had burns before and they have healed very well. I went to my follow up appointment with the doctor. He assured me the burn would be fine if I used the cream he SOLD me for $ 100. I was shocked that he charged me. So shocked that I paid for it. The scar never got better. I have a huge burn mark in the middle of my chest 2 and a ½ inches long and a ½ inch in width. That’s not the end of it. Dr Benedetti decided during the surgery that my implants needed to be larger, even though I told him I wanted to remain the same size. I went into the surgery with implants the size of 250 and he doubled the size to 500. Please bare in mind, Dr Benedetti took most of my skin away, due to the breast lift he recommended. So now I have two globs under my chin. Not to bad you may think? Well they are not even. One of my nipple is 2 inches higher than the other. Also when my muscles tenses one of my breasts cuts straight across the bottom just under my nipple, almost like the bottom of the breast disappears. It’s hard to explain, it just looks freaky. Ok, everyone makes mistakes, right? Well I didn’t seek legal advice, although everyone thought I should. I thought I’d give him the chance to fix it. I had several conversations with the office manager over the phone and visits to the office for follow ups. I told him I wasn’t happy with my scar and my breast results. Dr Benedetti agreed. He said my breasts look horrible and they should be fixed before the scar. Then he proceeds to tell my that my bill would be less expensive for me if I chose to have the procedure in his office. THATISWHEN I LOSTALLFAITHIN Dr BENEDETTI. I walked out of there and never contacted him again, nor did he ever contact me. I’m very sad to write this bad review, but I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through extra surgery and heart ache, not to mention the extra costs and down time! I had to leave a one star because the is no option for a zero star.

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 – 3MORE 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.

My only hesitation in writing this review is that I’m admitting to getting«work done» haha! It all started last year when my Fancy Friend decided to go to Dr Benedetti for Botox. I thought she was being ridiculous because she is not only younger than I am but she has no wrinkles that I could visibly see. Then I saw the results. It was really astonishing. Like having your already — clean house deep cleaned by a professional. So I decided to give it a try except that I took the cheap route and bought a Groupon to a random aesthetician. She shot me up everywhere on my forehead and while I could still raise my eyebrows, sometimes they would get stuck. Yes, my eyebrows STUCK. Sometimes it happened when I touched my forehead: the muscles above my eyebrows with spasm and freeze like a compressed accordion! It took weeks to wear off and I swore never again! My Fancy Friend told Dr. B about my experience later and he said«Have her come see me». It took some convincing but eventually I did and the first thing that struck me was how down to Earth he was. Yeah, I kind of expected someone whose face was on billboards all over the bay to be an uptight snob but he’s one of the most genuinely personable people I’ve ever met. And his work IS flawless. He didn’t shoot me up randomly. Well, first they numbed the area which was something the first esthetician had not done. Then he strategically targeted areas specific to ME: Noting that I clenched my jaw and carried constant tension in my face, I had areas that never relaxed. Even when I consciously tried to relax! This tension created shadows that I had for years thought were dark spots caused from sun damage. He even targeted the tension in my temples. Afterwards, I could still make faces, wrinkle and raise my brows(without the accordion effect), but the tension and dark spots were gone. Subtle and yet a noticeable improvement to one who has to live with this face. Since then, I’ve been back. Even had a tiny bit of filler for some fine lines. But folks here’s the thing: Yeah, you could get this done cheaper elsewhere but it’s like tattoos: you get what you pay for. And do you really want to take a chance with your FACE?(Says the woman with the formerly freak — accordion eyebrows)
