About 3 and a half years ago Dr. Russo performed liposuction under my chin and neck which he assured me would pull up the sagging skin on my neck. What I was left with were deep vertical pleats under my chin and down the length of my throat. I looked a good 10 years older than I did before the procedure. Also I suffered from pain under my chin that never went away.
When I went to my last post-op visit, I told Dr. Russo that I was very unhappy with the result. He seemed shocked. He seemed genuinely perplexed and told me that he thought my skin would "snap back". Then he examined me and said, "It's just a little skin" and that the only way to correct it would be with a neck lift. Then he said "You're done" and walked out. I was dumbfounded by his response.
To make a long story short, I recently had a neck lift with which I am very happy. The doctor told me that the person who performed my liposuction "took out too much fat" ... "really tore up my platysma"..."did a very rough lipo." It took her 3.5 hours to do the muscle repair.

After an extensive amount of research I decided to have my surgery with Dr. Russo and I could not be happier. Everyone had told me if you want great breasts go see Dr. Russo in Newton Ma. So my friend and I set up a consult (we wanted to have our breasts done together). So we arrived and the staff was great very friendly and personable. We only waited about 5 minutes for the Dr. and when he came in he did the both of us together it was so comfortable he explained everything with us we were in there for about an hour he listened to everything we had said and is very layed back, there was not even one point that I felt self conscious. We both booked for a month out to have it done on the same day together. So the day of surgery it went so fast and smooth I decided to go with silicone implants I wanted a very natural look. The surgery itself only took about 2 hours and when I woke up I was in absolutely NO pain at all. The week after I was in very mild discomfort but Dr. Russo gave me meds to make sure I remained as comfortable as possible. One week out I went in for my big REVEAL..The results were AMAZING..I was so happy they were perfect a little high up but after the massage he tought me they came down perfectly. All I can say is that my friend and I are so happy we reccomend him to everyone we see. They are so natural and perfect looking I could not be happier. If you are considering bigger breasts you need to see this man..
