Our team has changed the lives of countless patients both physically and mentally. Our past surgical patients open up about why they decided to undergo surgery and how their lives have drastically changed post-op.
Mary grew up confident in her body, but quarantine changed everything. She gained weight, struggled with comparison on social media, and no longer recognized herself. Despite clean eating and consistently working out, her body wasn’t responding—and as a model, that disconnect was hard to ignore. As Vado’s social media coordinator, she’d seen Dr. Lyly’s work firsthand and developed a strong sense of trust in her abilities. Mary received lipo 360, fat grafting to the hips, and chin liposuction with Renuvion. The results were everything she hoped for and more. She feels comfortable, confident, and happy in her own skin again!
From a young age, Rebecca felt out of place—surrounded by friends who developed curves while she didn’t, creating insecurities that followed her into adulthood. Eventually, she decided it was time to do something for herself—to feel good in her body, in her clothes, and in her skin. She chose Dr. Lyly at Vado Plastic Surgery, a board-certified female plastic surgeon with experience treating tuberous breasts. Her breast augmentation was a true turning point. Today, Rebecca says she feels completely transformed. She’s proud of how she looks in a bikini, confident in anything she wears—but more than that, she feels empowered and happy!
Brittany never considered plastic surgery—until after her third baby, when she was left with a stubborn “mommy pooch” that wouldn’t go away. She decided it was time to do something for herself, and that’s when she found Vado Plastic Surgery. Under the care of Dr. Afshari, Brittany had lipo with fat grafting to her breasts. The transformation was more than she ever expected. Today, she feels empowered, beautiful, and completely comfortable in her skin. She’s even back to modeling and doing photoshoots—something she hadn’t envisioned herself doing again!
Odalys grew up being bullied for her nose—an experience that took a toll on her confidence and made it hard to connect with others. Ready to make a change for herself, she came to Vado Plastic Surgery and chose Dr. Afshari to perform the rhinoplasty she’d been considering for years. Now, she feels more confident than ever. Her transformation has gone far beyond the physical—she’s in a relationship, forming new friendships with ease, thriving at work, and says it was the best decision she’s ever made.
A few years ago, Frances struggled with her weight, health, and feelings of depression. “I was always doing yo-yo diets. I would go from 115 to 170. I was borderline diabetic - I couldn’t even tie my shoes. My cholesterol was over 300. So, I decided to diet the proper way.” When it came time to unveil her surgery results she thought, “This is not me. This is a new person. I love life. I didn’t before, but I do now.”
Xena has been an entertainer for over 30+ years. Once she got closer to age 50, her confidence began to dwindle in the spotlight. When she finally healed from surgery, her confidence skyrocketed and she was able to wear a bikini after almost a decade. “It didn’t look like my body, it looked like the body I always wished I had. It’s hard to put in words how amazing you feel.”
13 years after Margarete went to Brazil for her breast augmentation and lift, this passionate hairdresser began feeling sick. She found out her implants were recalled and toxins had been seeping into her blood and immediately went to Dr. Z to get them removed. “He gave me the perfect size and shape. Almost all of my symptoms went away. I went back to work and worked the whole day without pain and it hasn’t come back since!”
After a near-death experience due to a rare autoimmune disorder, Hope made a conscious effort to change her entire diet and lifestyle. Within 2 years, she was 110 lbs lighter and left with sagging skin which led her to Dr. Z. “I took off the bandages and I was absolutely amazed. I cried for ten minutes literally staring at myself. I always knew I could look like that. I honestly feel like I can conquer the world.”
Growing up, Morgan realized that being a woman wasn’t a part of who he was. So, he decided it was time to get FTM top surgery to feel more comfortable in his skin. After surgery, he said “I finally got to look in the mirror and I looked like me. Everybody was smiling.” FTM top surgery has allowed Morgan to comfortably take his shirt off, compete in body building, and enjoy his life without anything holding him back.
